Welcome back, Aligned Entrepreneurs! This week I spoke with Launch Strategist, Sales Coach, Podcast Host, and Co-Founder of Authentic Audience Krista Ripma about growing your audience and business authentically. Krista opened up about the tough situation she found herself in at the beginning of the pandemic, and how she was able to pivot her business for even more success in the following months.
She spoke about the power of honest marketing, why truth sells, the line between vulnerability and over-sharing, what authenticity means to her, and why resistance is a normal (and powerful!) part of the entrepreneurial journey.
Plus, she shares tips on how to market your offerings in a way that is real and honest, while calling in your dream clients. Enjoy!
