Hey designed starters. What I'm going to talk about today is a lot on selling without making people feel like they're being sold. And that is where you start to see leads coming in. Like they're all getting, although they're not really all getting because you have been doing the work to get those leads.
So what I've been doing over months and years, maybe, maybe at least three years is just putting out what I've been trying to work on in my business. And the, the point of how should I put it? Maybe, maybe the mindset I would say, right? The mindset behind all these. It's not about selling, although, you know, At the end, there is a selling, right.
But selling is, is like, you know, the, the, the last part of it where you tell people, okay, time to buy, you know, this is the cost of it. And this is the price. If you want to start, this is the price to pay, but the whole journey to what's to that point, there are many ways. Okay. And. So I've been reading books.
I've been listening to podcasts. I've been watching YouTube videos, reading articles, and I'm sure you've been doing all of that. And there are so many ways that so many people are using to make an income and just to sell things and just make a living out of that. And what are we looking for here? We are looking for probably the fastest way.
To get more leads, right? The shortest time possible to get that number of leads to kind of a half the number of people to buy so that we can more than just survive. We can have that income to even invest further and then lead to somehow our financial independence in the future. So there are a lot of lead ups.
There are a lot of preparation. There's a lot of work and then time is involved. And, you know, after all that few years, that was saying that I was building up, I come to this age where I'm already 41 this year. And then I realized that, Hey, I'm getting older and, and all those time has passed. What have I done?
What, what is there to show? And have I gone to the point where I'm making the right amount of sales that I want to do to bring the income right. And. With that I would want to know as well, what works and I'm sure that's what you want to do. So like you have gone through so much time, so much pain, so much struggling of one thing to get that flow of leads, but time has passed and all you have done is doing the same thing over and over.
And always doing the same work just to get the leads and it's burning you out. Same for me. And so what I found is that. You don't want people to feel like they're being sold. That's the first thing. So that mindset must be there because if you have that mindset, then it's going to be tiring for you to always try to use something that is not within your comfort zone to keep trying to make something, you know, make someone buy from you.
And, and when it looks like sales, these people just reject these people just turn away because. They just feel like they're being sold. They don't want to buy because of that. It's not because they don't want the product. It's not because they don't want the service. They probably end up buying from somebody else and they're getting the same service possibly.
Right. So what I'm trying to say is you're going to get Hyatt from that because you are trying to sell to them, sell to them. And then the few that we, they don't buy, and then you go to the next one, you do the same thing. They don't buy. And then you go to the next one. So, you know, time has passed and you have been doing so much and trying to sell that.
And if you don't get that sale, you think, Oh, it doesn't work. People don't want the service. People don't want the product. People don't want your design service at all. And you feel less confident and you don't believe in it. You feel that the business doesn't work. You think you feel, so this is how I have been feeling as well before I started trying to.
Really put out what I do on a daily basis, weekly basis on a regular basis in my work. Because when I do that, I put that, put that out, people outside. See it. The audience, see it. People who were not ready to buy at at time, see that. And in three years time when they are ready to buy, they buy because they already see me doing it, working in public, putting out what I do in my business.
And they read about what I write. They read about what I say and. So they know me right through these years, but they don't exactly know me as in, we don't keep in contact that is so personal, but because they consume what I put out, it seems like they know me already. Then when they truly want to buy, they know who to go to.
They come to me and then they asked me for help. And that's when I tell them exactly the details of what I do. That's when the features and benefits and the value of the work that I do is being communicated to the people. And then the last bit of it is the selling. So, so, you know, you want to bring in sales, you want to bring quick sales.
There is nothing complicated. It's just explaining what they can get from you. The benefits, the, the, the, the good stuff, right. And, and it starts from just putting things out in your intention, your mindset, you know, what you do on a daily basis, then getting them to know you better in this way works better rather than just plain.
Trying to tell them, Hey, I, I do, I do graphic design, you know, and it's, this amount of money is cheaper than these people. And we do better than them because we are of higher quality and we have better customer service. So if you say such a thing to someone who hasn't listened to what all or read what you have done in your work.
What they don't get is they don't trust you. Right. And trust is the single most important factor when it comes to business. Right? Because they are going to give you the money to get something that they think is of promise. So if you are going to promise them something right from the start, they wouldn't think I would, I would trust you.
They will need to see more. Right. So don't make it complicated. There's no need to go through super deep funnels and, um, super, uh, you know, interesting or exciting sales tactic or, or even copy that, try to kind of make them miss being misled. Right? Like kind of mislead them, no need for all that. So there's no need to spend.
You know, tons of money trying to go on causes that, that teach you super copywriting skills or, or content marketing or SEO. There's no need for that unless right. Unless you have super deep interest in that, because all of that brings a lot of complication. All of that brings a lot of overwhelm because with all of that is telling you that you don't have enough.
To sell. You don't have enough in you to be able to sell as much as you want. So no, you can. You are enough already. You'll have what you have use, what you have now. Put it out there. Just tell them, tell them your weaknesses, tell them, Oh, I'm not getting enough traffic today. Tell them, um, my leads are not, you know, so perfect as to what I expected all today, I have, um, incoming traffic and people are calling me more, you know, whatever, whatever results that you have, your analytics, your traffic, your, your, your results, how you feel and how your customers view and the customers may not be, may be feeling.
So good about y'all y'all service today, and you can say it too, right? Like, like for myself, I, I don't get great comments every other day. You know, most of the comments are great. I do have great referrals, but I do have customers who churn. I do have customers who don't sign up anymore. I have customers who give me a review that.
That tell me I can improve better. I can do better. And, and they were a bit disappointed. I do. And I say this too, and I'm telling you now, so it's the same thing when you want to sell, right? It's all about, you know, your journey between when you start between, when you get a climb and between working with clients, you got to show all of that, that things are going on.
And this will help people gain trust on, we know all about you with you, and they know that they can rely on you. And what with you, because there, there will be, there will be this communication, there will be this conversation between you and them, and they know that you exist and run the business rather than, you know yeah.
Just trying to sell. And then when you just trying to sell the. They, they still don't get it. Right. And, and there'll be skeptical over what you're trying to tell them, because everybody sees the same thing. Right. Everybody sees the are the best. So what's, what's the best they can feel it. You got to show them on a more daily basis to get them to know you first.
Right. So, so this is just, you know, more of what I want to put out today because. Because, um, I do feel like, uh, the times I don't get overflowing leads, there are times when a few that leads are not automatic and I have to rework again on, you know, getting that sale. If somebody churns, I have to think, okay.
Let's um, you know, look for another person who wishes to buy and it can get quite tiring. And I also understand that. You guys also feeding this way too. So just want to share this with you on, on where I'm at and what I'm trying out and what I have been trying out that way. That's.
Hey designed starters. What I'm going to talk about today is a lot on selling without making people feel like they're being sold. And that is where you start to see leads coming in.
