Have you ever had one of those "burn it all down and start over" moments in your business? Yeah… same. In this episode, I’m getting real about the monthly existential crisis I have (shoutout to my pre-period spiral), how I pulled myself out of it this time, and the unexpected email that flipped my perspective and sparked a whole new revenue idea.

I recently had a mastermind leader reach out wanting to bulk buy my digital product for her group—and that little moment cracked open a huge lightbulb for me. Instead of selling to one person at a time, what if I focused on selling to groups? This shift in thinking could be a total game-changer for your sales strategy.

If you’ve got a digital product, course, or program, this episode will show you exactly how to make group sales work for you.

In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on:

-The sneaky monthly mindset spiral that almost took me out (and how I snap out of it)
-The email that changed everything for me
-Why selling to one leader instead of 10 individuals is a smarter, more scalable move
-Who in your network is already primed to buy your offer for their entire group
-How to pitch bulk sales (without it feeling weird or salesy)

Listen in, take notes, and let me know if you're diving into the group sales game!
