John Schnettgecke is the author of Pura Vida, A Thinker's Guide to Living—a best-selling personal development book for lost, stuck, or mixed-up Millennials. At age 25, John fell headfirst into an EPIC quarter-life crisis. He abruptly quit his job, fled the country, then fell off a motorcycle somewhere near the equator. Unsure what to do next, he started writing. He's now on a mission to encourage other young people to write their way to the life they want.

He's the poster child for all Millennials who have ever felt lost, stuck, or confused. John is the guy who read all the personal development books and listened to way too many podcasts, the guy who wanted to do everything, but managed to do nothing in the process. He spun his wheels and went nowhere.

That is, until he began asking himself some really tough questions and answering them honestly. He believes that all young people have the power to unlock their true potential and purpose with nothing more than pen, paper, and 10 minutes of writing each day.

Word Notebooks

Selling isn't a dirty word, and there's a few things you need to flip around in your mindset for you to believe me on that statement.

In this episode we're talking about the 4 things you need to BELIEVE in to feel really confident and 'of-service' when you sell.

1. what you do

2. who you serve

3. why they need it

4. yourself

If you're stuck and not sure about any of these, we need to do some work! Once you BELIEVE in these 4 things, there is no longer anything "gross" or "salesy" about selling.

Sales Funnel Masterclass

Two weeks we talked about the parts of a sales funnel and a bit about how they work -- you can find that episode here.

And in my Make More Sales - Sales Funnel Masterclass we're going to go even deeper on the HOW, but I need to press rewind and share with you the WHY behind setting up sales funnels in your business.

Today I’m going to tell you 3 reasons WHY you need a funnel strategy in your business. Neither Sales NOR Funnel is a dirty word - but more on that on episode 109.

Here are 3 reasons why you need a sales funnel strategy for your business:

1. Your “people” need you to lead them

Regardless of if someone is just joining your list or someone has been around for a little while, people want you to lead them through a process that makes sense. And you BOTH want a process that gets them the best results - that's what a sales funnel does versus sending them random weekly emails that they have little interest in. A sales funnel allows you to get super specific with your topic and value you provide to that customer.

2. There's only so much time in a day.

24 hours to be exact, and I'd rather you not work for all 24 of them - but with an automated sales funnel in place, you CAN work nights and weekends without actually working in your business. The funnel will run on autopilot for you and continue to provide value to your audience! WIN-WIN in my opinion!

3. People don't until they know, like and trust you.

Sales funnels give you opportunity to connect with them more times in a shorter period of time than if you were just sending weekly emails. So, the experts say it takes between 5-7 interactions before someone will consider purchasing from you. With a sales funnel you can shorten your timeline and get them faster results by following up via email every 2-3 days after your freebie is delivered versus once a week.

Plus they're going to get better results since the information you're sending is super logical and targeted to the topic they were originally interested in!

There are a ton more reasons why you should have a sales funnel strategy, but your time is valuable, and that should be enough to entice you to get started. I can help you get started with a step-by-step how-to on this Sales Funnel Masterclass.
