When someone says they don’t want to sound “sales-y,” what they’re *really* saying is they want to sell in a way that adds value to others and isn’t off-putting, annoying or uncomfortable. Good news: That is 100% possible, and it’s much easier (not to mention more fun!) than you think it is.

Today I’m sharing how to get your mindset right when it comes to sales as well as how to sell online without ever coming across as “sales-y.” I’m also explaining why I fully believe sales = service… If that sounds crazy to you, you’re definitely in the right place!

In this episode, you’ll get my best advice for overcoming the limiting beliefs and fears that hold you back from selling your products and services, and you’ll walk away with strategies you can implement right away to help you sell more effectively, authentically and confidently – WITHOUT being pushy.
