Creative Courage

The Real Reason You’re Not Closing More Deals


Listen Later

There’s a hidden force stopping creatives from making more sales and landing bigger deals - it’s called your shadow.
The shadow is the part of your personality that you suppress - A part of you that you don't like.
It's this part that often inhibits founders ability to sell higher value projects.
In this episode, I’m going to show you how to identify your shadow and work out if it's holding you back.

Covered in this episode:

  • The real reason you're not closing more deals.
  • Why so many creatives feel "anti-sales" and how to get past this belief.
  • The mindset shift that will help you show up to sales calls authentically.
  • How to stay in control when pitching your services.
  • And more…
