Storytelling is getting a lot of buzz these days, and for good reason. Telling stories connects us as human beings, and helps the listener actually imagine themself inside the story.
When selling, stories are king (or queen!). BUT - not all stories are created equal. In this episode, we are diving into 6 storytelling mistakes that we see again and again…and we're arming you with plenty of tips to avoid them.

"But how do I figure out what makes my business different from those of other people who are doing the same thing?" It was a great question we got at the end of our latest workshop, and we devoted this entire episode to answering it! Understanding what makes you different (which is BETTER than better) is absolutely fundamental to developing great sales stories + messaging, and we're committed to helping you understand exactly how to do it.

When we sell, we focus so heavily on the benefits that our product or service will bring to the lives of others. But what if we told you that by painting the dream, you're missing out on the real thing that moves customers to action? Behavioral economics tells us that loss aversion theory, aka the desire to hold on to what we already have, is the key to getting someone to make a buying decision, and in this episode - we are making it MAKE SENSE for you!
Listen in as we break down this concept + give you some real life examples of what this could look like in your own business. If there's one episode NOT to miss…it's this one!

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. In fact, a study out of Harvard University found that 93% of feelings + emotions received from a message come from nonverbal communication. That means your delivery matters so much more than your words do!
This episode is the last in a 3 part series where we're covering the 3 main pillars of sales, and we're diving headfirst into communication: what it means, why it matters, + how to improve yours.

It's no secret that selling is an inside job. Not only do you have to believe in yourself + what you have to offer, but when selling you have to be coming from the right place. One that doesn't make you seem desperate or have "commission breath", but instead one that shows you truly care about helping your customer + one that allows you guide them naturally toward a decision.
This delicate balance is one that most salespeople struggle with, and it all boils down to one thing: your character. This episode is the first of a three part series where we are covering the qualities that every single person must develop to sell well: your character, your competence + your communication skills.
Listen in as we break down what character truly means when it comes to sales, and give you some context around how to develop yours so that you can be the kind of person people actually want to buy from.

Heather Krout is back! After rave reviews from her first guest appearance on She Sells He Sells, we've brought her back to talk about the personal side of business: namely, how she balances being the mom she wants to be while building the business she dreams of.
In a world where bigger + faster is better, Heather takes the stance that slow + steady wins the race and she embodies that not only in business, but in her parenting.
Listen in for a real + candid conversation on all things motherhood + entrepreneurship!
--------------------------------------
Heather Krout is the owner of the home decorating consultation business called Home with Heather. Her business was recently recognized, with the esteemed honor of receiving The Best of Harford Award, in the category of Best Interior Designer & Decorator. In addition to her decorating consultation business, Heather is also a Christian women's speaker and writer as well as a lifestyle blogger and influencer. Heather has been married to her husband Shawn for 18 years and lives in Bel Air, Maryland with their 3 daughters, Eve, Maci and Livvy.
Heather's mission is to bring inspiration and encouragement to the hearts and homes of her clients, readers and followers by sharing her authentic and sometimes vulnerable stories and the nuggets of wisdom she is learning, all gleaned through her own life experiences of being a wife, mother, daughter and business owner.
When Heather is not decorating or writing, you can most often find her walking the beach looking for shells with her daughters. While Heather claims to be a homebody, the sound of the ocean waves hold her heart and speak the language of her soul.
