EP 149 - The Art of Subtle Selling: Why Your Direct Marketing Isn't Working Anymore


Listen Later

People want to love watching you sell. But your current marketing strategy might just be turning them off!

As the founder of a seven-figure design agency, I've mastered the art of subtle selling. So today, we're chatting about a strategy that makes your audience feel entertained and educated while they're being sold to.

In 2025, direct selling isn't just boring; it's ineffective. Everyone's become a salesperson, from TikTok creators to Instagram influencers, which means your audience is more sophisticated than ever at recognizing (and scrolling past) obvious sales tactics.

The secret lies in showcasing your expertise, creating strategic suggestions, and sparking curiosity in ways that feel natural and engaging. It's like quiet luxury. Your audience knows it's premium, but it doesn't need logos plastered everywhere to prove it. This approach turns audience members into clients and keeps them engaged even after they've bought from you.

In this episode, I break down the four-step framework for mastering subtle selling across all platforms. Whether you're struggling with engagement on Threads, feeling salesy in your stories, or just ready to elevate your marketing strategy, you'll learn how to sell in a way that makes your audience want to keep watching.

In today's episode, we're chatting about:

• Why traditional direct selling won't work in 2025

• The four-step framework for subtle selling that converts

• How to showcase your expertise without being pushy

• Why your CTA doesn't always need to be a sales link

• Practical examples of subtle selling across different platforms
