If you’ve ever said, “I’m just not good at selling,” this one is for you.


In this solo episode, I'll walk you through how to sell your services without feeling uncomfortable, manipulative, or fake.


This isn’t about tricking anyone. It’s about being clear, helpful, and grounded in your value.


Every tip and insight I’ll be sharing today is tangible and applicable to your business, no matter your experience, line of work, or personality type.


In this episode, you'll learn why you are already a salesperson—even if you don’t call yourself one, how to "plant the seeds" in everyday conversations and podcast interviews, and the power of detaching from the outcome.


Enjoy!


Takeaways:


  • Recognize that selling is essential for business survival and there's always room for improvement in your sales skills.
  • Understand that sales is not about tricking or forcing someone to buy, but about guiding them to a solution that benefits them.
  • Use subtle storytelling and casual conversations to naturally showcase your expertise and build trust without hard selling.
  • Focus on being present and serving the client rather than fixating on closing the sale, which can lead to more genuine connections and opportunities.
  • Approach sales with confidence and security, offering your services without desperation, which can create a more positive and attractive dynamic.
