In this episode, Jennie and Kimberly discuss:

•  Being a Joint Venture Super Connector, getting people on stages and in front of the right people to help grow their business 
• Studies have shown that we can only process 17 words at a time, so a twenty word introduction fits nicely into that space
• Test your twenty word intro while networking. Have the person you just gave it to tell you what they heard. If they get it wrong or forget parts, you need to change it
• If your twenty word intro is precise and memorable enough, people will remember it (and you) for months

Key Takeaways:

• Doing what you’re good at is easy, but it won’t always be the thing that also makes you happy
• The three mistakes you never should make when introducing yourself:

1. Never say “I do a lot of things”
2. Don’t be nebulous, give a real answer
3. Don’t unload your full-blown 2 minute prepared speech, someone may just be asking to be polite

• The four things you need to get into your 20 word introduction:

1. Your first name only
2. Who you serve or help
3. What is their prize if they work with you, what do you have to offer
4. What are you going to do to them

• If you get interest after your twenty word introduction, THEN you can deliver your elevator speech 

"Oftentimes, you're really not talking to the people that you're talking to, you're talking to their sphere of influence. When I talk to a room, I'm not just talking to entrepreneurs, I'm not just talking to authors. I'm talking to people that may know entrepreneurs or authors" —   Kimberly Hobscheid

In this episode, Jennie discusses:

• Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs around sales are shaped by all the sales experiences you've ever had
• Our brain has evolved to protect us from bad things, including bad sales experiences
• Negative experiences negative words, negative situations have four times more impact on your brain than a positive one
• It’s not about you. If you focus on you, you’ll lose the sale

Key Takeaways:

• Reframe how you think about sales as a transfer of a solution to a problem
• Don’t focus on your product/service, figure out how you can solve your customer’s problem...Hopefully with your product or service
• Respect your customers’ boundaries. If they don’t see the value of your solution at the time, be respectful of that decision.

"So the first thing is, have the goal of getting to know this other human. What do they want? What are their needs? What problems are they concerned with solving right now? Secondly, go into each of those conversations with the other person's best interests at heart and respect their boundaries." —  Jennie Bellinger

About Deborah Woods: Deborah Woods, National Certified Counselor, has spent more than 15,000 hours playing with kids. With 30+ years of experience, she’s worked with hundreds of kids and their moms, dads, and grandparents. Deborah discovered playful connection makes the biggest positive impact on a child’s life.

Deborah faced overwhelming struggles raising a son with special needs. She discovered that connection and play were the keys to reducing their stress and empowering kids with great people skills.


In this episode, Jennie and Deborah discuss:

• How letting your child find their own solutions to challenges empowers them and allows you to step back and enjoy the process.
• Supporting your child in play by allowing them to lead and noticing what they're doing in a way that doesn't interfere with their process.
• The power of one-on-one time with a parent, even just once a week for 30 minutes

Key Takeaways:

• Each child is the expert on what they need to express in play.
• Play therapy is much more powerful when done at home with parents who have been trained in play.
• Children who are allowed to make kid-size decisions and enabled to learn on their own terms are more likely to become self-sufficient, confident, empathetic adults.
• It's not just the children getting the benefits, the parents are also learning skills that help them to relax.

"When you learn the simple concept of a kid-size decision versus a mom size decision, that notion by itself can give you so much peace. There things in your child's life that it really is okay if they decide, and you don't have to worry about it." —  Deborah Woods

About Jackie Ulmer: Jackie Ulmer is an award winning speaker, coach and entrepreneur, focused on helping women develop the business skills, confidence and social media strategies needed to attract their ideal clients using online and offline methods. As a 25+ year entrepreneur, she's sold products, services and built teams in over 40 countries in Direct Sales and Coaching. We don't get our goals; we get our habits! Jackie is going to coach you on how to develop the habits you need to rock your business.



In this episode, Jennie and Jackie discuss:

• Overcoming the obstacle of who to talk to outside your “warm market.”
• How the internet changed the way we do business, and the ways the landscape is changing again due to COVID-19.
• Using social media as a networking platform rather than an advertising platform to build relationships first, then appropriate sales.
• Finding and fine-tuning your marketing to your ideal client.

Key Takeaways:

• Building a successful business requires breaking out of your circle of friends and family to find new clients.
• Using the internet to build your business brings the leads to you, rather than you having to hunt them down.
• Market yourself, share what you do, share who you're looking to serve, share in what ways you're going to serve them. 
• Hone in on your ideal client and build a marketing strategy around that ideal client, online and offline.

"My secret to success are my three C's, and that is clarity, commitment and consistency. Everything that we do in this business is a learned skill set, we have a tendency to want to think that somebody else has some secret sauce that we don't have. But it really is just a learned set of business skills. And when you have clarity around your why, and your who, and your what, and your how, it leads you to the commitment, and part of the commitment is finding and committing to that process of developing that skill set. And then it's consistency. Success is sexy, the road to get there, not always so much." —  Jackie Ulmer
