Listen Later

If you’re like most creatives, sales probably isn’t your favourite part of running your business. But what if you could change the way you think about sales - and the results you get?

In this episode, I break down The 10 Commandments of Sales - key principles that have helped my clients close more deals and land higher-value projects, even if they haven’t had any formal sales training.

These are fundamental principles that you can refer back to before any sales conversation that will make you feel more confident and get you better results.

From how to get clients selling themselves to you, to making sure you never get ghosted again, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to make sales feel lighter, more effective, and even enjoyable.

Covered in this episode:

  • 10 fundamental principles that you should take into every sales conversation.
  • How to motivate prospects to get them excited to work with you.
  • How to keep prospects from ghosting you after a sales conversation.
  • Handling objections and getting value out of the “nos”.
  • Identifying whether or not a prospect is a good fit.
  • Why budget doesn’t matter and what you should be qualifying leads on instead.
  • The exact questions to ask that make sales feel easier, without feeling pushy.
  • And much more…
