In this episode, I'm speaking with Clare Whitmell, an online English teacher specializing in fluency. She tells the story of how she changed her mindset when nothing was working.

For a long time she tried different strategies, looking for a tactic that would bring success. But with coaching, she realized that she needed to focus on her offer and how to launch it.

Clare shares the ways that shifting her mindset has helped her feel confident about promoting her services. She's now saving time and getting better results than ever before.

In this (final) episode of my mini-series on sales, I talk about the importance of making offers, why posting on social media doesn't qualify as "making an offer" and what you need to know about one of the most common objections your students will bring up, "Now is not the best time."

To dig deeper into the subject of selling something that's not 1:1 classes, check out my upcoming training on sales: https://www.elenamutonono.com/sell-asynchronous-program/

In this episode you'll hear about selling on social media and through your other channel: podcast, blog, Youtube channel, etc.

I break down the process of sales in several important lessons I've learned over the years and give examples from my own experience as someone who used to resent sales and thought they were random and chaotic. 

Selling can actually be rewarding and help you grow as a person, especially if you want your message to sound authentic and compelling.

In this episode I talk about my love-hate relationship with sales as an online language teacher.

I resented sales for the longest time, which is why selling was too hard and unpleasant. But if there's anything I've learned from my struggle, it's this: the sooner you accept that sales are a part of your online teaching business journey, the sooner you'll be able to choose what to think about selling and how to improve your sales skills.

Ready to learn more about sales? Join my 3-day training at the end of the month. You can participate live or watch the recordings, but joining now will give you access to 1-week support group on Telegram where you'll be able to ask questions and get coaching on strategies and mindset shifts necessary to improve your sales.
