It is 2022 and I still hear women say, "I'll have to check with my husband." And I'm f*****g over it. The Be Your Own Daddy Podcast will inspire and teach women how to get out of their own way by challenging their current mindset and beliefs about power. It is time to stop asking for permission to be or do what you were destined for. The host, Alycia Israel, along with the women in her family escaped her sociopathic convict father, digging themselves out of bankruptcy. In college Alycia aspired into the male dominated field of strength and conditioning to pursue her passion for strength. Despite years of being the underdog, Alycia went from making $40,000 a year at one of the most sought out Universities in the country, to taking the leap and starting her own business now grossing over half a million a year. The stories, lessons, and actionable takeaways from guest interviews and original episodes on this podcast will inspire you to break past your limiting beliefs along with any bullshit "glass ceilings" you keep telling yourself exists.

    If You Can't Sell People You Can't Help People (Ep. 137)

    Sales gets a dirty scammy rep but the truth is, if you can't sell people you can't help people. Charging people is not immoral, it's required for their success. If you have a good product or service, you have an obligation to be good at sales. I've closed over 2.3 million in sales and only had $7,000 in refunds which is .3% of total sales. Unheard of in my industry. “If your product or service is good enough it sells itself” is such a lazy approach to business. When it comes to most clietentel, they have limiting beliefs around spending money on themselves, mom's and women especially. A tip I have for sales that a lot of people miss: bridging the gap. In this episode, I'm going to explain how a lot of people fuck up sales by talking about themselves too much and not enough about solving their potential prospects problems. We'll also talk about what to look out for during the call and how to personalize your program for what they want in real time.   Time Stamps:   (0:13) If You Can't Sell, You Can't Help (2:16) 50 Dollars A Month For Online Coaching Back In The Day (5:00) Why You Should Listen To Me (8:02) I Was Not Good When I Started (10:51) Bridging The Gap (14:30) Initial Questions (17:00) What Do They Want To Achieve?
