QUOTABLES:
“Specialized businesses or industries or brands focus on a specific expertise or skill set, like, say, a unique product or service that demands a technical know-how, that is what specialization means. However, niche is different. Niche actually targets a subset of a broader market with distinct customer needs."
— Julie
“It's not just about having an amazing offer. It's about having someone in your world who truly wants what it is that you're selling them and they're willing to invest in it."
— Julie
"It's not about forcing someone to buy something that they don't want or need. Because selling at its core is relationship based. And that's why when we're just selling all the time, we don't even realize that we're selling. Because it is service based. It is relationship based. When we come from that lens, it's about genuinely helping people solve a problem or achieve a goal."
— Julie
"Are you reaching your ideal buyers effectively? Do you have the right funnels and automations and processes and systems set up to do this in a way where you can actually access your sales approach to ensure that it's consistently bringing money in for you and that it also aligns with your offer and your target audience, which maximizes the chances of your success."
