Have you had those moments in your business where it feels like everything is falling apart?

Me too!

Nothing is static and that means we, and our businesses, go through transformations…and transformations are messy, period.

The good news is, the mess of transition is where SO MUCH good stuff happens. Welcoming the mess means we open up to new opportunities, new ways of doing things, and new ways of doing business.

I’m going to walk you through my own recent experience with WholeCo’s messy middle, how I’ve been moving through that and what changes are happening behind the scenes.

I hope this provides you with some reassurance that these moments are not a bad thing - they’re an amazing opportunity to uplevel!

In episode 1 of season 6 we explore:

• As we change, our businesses have to change - what that can look like, feel like, and lead to
• The first principle of how to encounter the moments when we’re doubting or feeling like something big needs to change in our business
• The growth potential (both inner and outer) that the mess invites us into and how to engage gracefully with that invitation

The messy middles are where so much magic happens - embrace them!

“If or when you find yourself in a space where you know that what you’re doing are all things that you need to be doing but it’s creating a challenge in some other area of your business, you’re not alone. This is part of building a successful and sustainably successful business. The messy middles are where so much magic can be found.”

- Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate

Are you tired of feeling like you working hard in your business and not getting the results you want?

Of feeling like you’re doing all the things but nothing’s really working and you’re nowhere near having 10k months?

Well the reality is all actions are not created equal! You might be expending unnecessary energy that would be better directed elsewhere. That’s why having a strategy is so important; to make sure you’re taking aligned and effective action.

No more throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping that something sticks! If you want to do more than survive and actually shift into thriving, you might (like me a few years ago) need to make some changes!

In episode 1 of season 5 we explore:

How great would it be to KNOW (and to have proof!) that you can make money?!

“In those moments where you feel like you’re pushing or you’re striving or you’re trying to force these things to FINALLY work - the best thing you can do in those moments is actually to pause. To take a step back. And to start assessing, What I need to do differently to create the results I desire?”  - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate

Some clients are a dream come true and others, sad to say, not so much…

Have you experienced this?

Does it feel a bit hit and miss whether or not people buy from you? Maybe your product or service works really well for some of your customers or clients and not so well for others?

I get it, it can be super frustrating.

I’m here to tell you there’s an art and science to marketing to the right people and that the #1 game-changing business insight is figuring out who your “right-fit” customer is and marketing specifically to them.

Stay tuned while I give you a clear method of identifying those people!

In episode 2 of season 5 we explore:

Clarity is a beautiful (and powerful) thing my friends! I’m excited for you to finally know exactly who you need to be selling to!

“You want to be exclusively attracting people in who are ready to buy AND the person who's going to be best served by you. So if you want to get more “right-fit” people into sales calls with you who are ready to say Yes to working with you, then you need to know who that “right-fit” person actually is.” - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate

Are you struggling to sell your offers consistently?

If so, it’s a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself.

There are various reasons you might be struggling with this, and we’re going to unpack each of them and outline how you can change the reasons you are having inconsistent results.

Building an offer that is an obvious YES to your soul-aligned clients and that you’re super excited by is within reach!

In episode 3 of season 5 we explore:

Stay tuned for these four key entrepreneurial problem-busting strategies!

“You are the only one who is responsible for your success. Your job is NOT to create your client’s success; your job is to create the conditions in which they can succeed. You don’t have to choose between serving your “right-fit” people or doing work you love doing - it’s BOTH.”  - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate

Is your marketing copy not bringing you the results you hope for?

Do you feel like you’re writing compelling copy but it’s attracting the wrong people? Here’s the thing; if you’re not directly addressing the version of your ideal client who is ready to buy, even great-sounding copy is going to be redundant.

When you figure out how to speak directly to your purchase-ready customer, you unlock consistent sales.

Stay tuned to find the right words to connect with your “right-fit” clients and grow your business growth expertise so you can uplevel your income whenever you want!

In episode 4 of season 5 we explore:

Get ready to match your language with your core offer and see how fast things can change in your business!

“What does the purchase-ready version of your ideal customer know to be true? What questions are they asking? What are they presently experiencing? And what do they see as the real problem? When you have that clarity on who this version of your ideal customer is, that’s when we can find that core language, those messaging pieces that we can use to talk about your core offer.” - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate

Does selling tend to bring out some anxiety for you?

Are you following the method of giving value before selling your offer?

So many of us have a tense relationship with money and selling. But through selling to our ideal clients, we’re doing what we love AND helping someone else uplevel their lives; our work matters!

And our “right-fit” people WANT us to sell to them! They recognise that we have something they want, so in order for us to serve them we have to sell to them.

Essentially, if you want to expand your income, you need to go from pseudo-selling to truly selling, but it doesn’t need to feel icky or sleazy; it’s just a matter of finding the way that feels good to you (and then doing it consistently)!

In the season finale of season 5 we explore:

Are you ready to have your first, or first-in-a-while, 10k cash month? Then join us for this final episode of season 5 to start making giant leaps in your sales figures!

“Even though our work does not create our worth or our value, it is often through the channel or the avenue of our work that we are introduced to and called to recognise the value and the worth that has always been part of who we are.”  - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate

Have you been trying to convince your audience that you have something they need? Are you tired of doing 'all the things' and still not making sales?

I get it. It’s EXHAUSTING following a strategy that isn’t tailor made for YOU, your biz, your audience, and your goals.

As soon as I shifted away from doing what I thought I “should” be doing and started doing things differently in my business, EVERYTHING changed. Simplifying and developing a strategy that feels aligned is actually far more efficient AND lucrative!

In Season 4, Episode 1 we explore:

Tune in and find out what the key action is to start consistently selling!

“I know from personal experience how much easier it is to make money, make sales, get new clients etc., even to market our businesses, when we’re doing things that we love doing in the way that we love doing them.”  - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate, Season 4

Nothing about these 3 strategies is "new" or "groundbreaking" in this online business world. In fact, you've probably heard other business coaches share similar lead generation strategies before.

So why would you want to listen to this episode?

Because while there is no "secret strategy" that every "successful" business owner has that you don't, what those successful entrepreneurs have (that you might not) are the business FOUNDATIONS that make ~any~ strategy (including these 3) successful.

Inside this episode, I'm sharing 3 of my favorite Lead Generation strategies. These are strategies I've used to generate multiple-6-figures in my business, and that my clients have used to do the same. AND I'm sharing insights into the real foundations that make ALL of these strategies even capable of doing so.

Because if we're being honest: Very rarely is the strategy you’re using actually “off.” More often than not, it’s not the strategy, it’s the foundations underneath that strategy that are causing the strategy to not work how “they” say it will.

In this episode of Selling Chocolate we explore:

Join me as we dig into the nitty gritty of how you can start generating more leads with more ease by tuning in now.

“You have to be able to talk about your offer and market it in a way that both generates leads AND naturally moves those leads into paying offers. You have to release your fear of selling, or the belief that selling is sleazy or annoying, and remember that there are people in your audience who are ready to buy; and if that’s true, the very best way that you can serve them is by selling to them.” - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate

How you help a Lead become a Client goes WAY beyond the Sales Conversation, and it actually starts BEFORE you even get that Lead.

Whether you're dreading following up with a lead because you're afraid of being "annoying" or maybe even sleazy...

You often find yourself coaching on the Sales Call (instead of actually selling)...

Or you feel like you constantly attract freebie-seekers who never actually turn into paying customers...

This episode will help you know exactly what you need to do with every single Lead to help them easily and seamlessly become a paying client.

In Season 4, Episode 3 of Selling Chocolate we explore:

Join me for this episode and discover your aligned way of selling with ease.

“Moving a lead into a sales conversation and then into becoming a client actually starts before you get the lead. Meaning, you have to know where you are taking this lead before you get out there and start implementing any lead-generation strategy.”  - Carly Jo Bell, Selling Chocolate, Season 4

Are you finding yourself getting more no’s or even being ghosted by your leads after a Sales Call?

Many of us have scars from past sleazy sales conversations we've had with someone who didn’t provide value or was behaving in a pushy or even manipulative way. Which often leads Big-hearted Entrepreneurs like you to loathe or even fear sales and selling!

But what if you could sell with ease and absolutely no sleaze? What if your sales conversations could empower the right-fit people in your audience to take their aligned next step (working with YOU)? What if the way you SELL is actually how you SERVE your clients most?

In this episode we explore:

Join us for this episode of Selling Chocolate and say goodbye to feeling bad about sales conversations!
