Do you ever feel like selling has to be a high-pressure, uncomfortable interaction? What if I told you it could be more like an inviting conversation?  

Today I'm sharing my interview with my good friend, Holly Rustick from the Grant Writing and Funding Podcast where we dismantle the traditional notions of marketing and selling. We share our personal tales from the entrepreneurial trenches. From coping with rejection to the mysteries of online course building, and handling your inner critic. 

As introverts, Holly and I understand the psychological acrobatics often associated with selling. We debunk this in the episode, showing how you can leverage your introverted tendencies to your advantage in selling. The key lies in shifting the frame from an aggressive sell to a warm invite. From adopting the right mindset to utilizing graphics and audio on social media, to consistently making offers - we cover it all! Plus, we share how you can be your own best case study.
