And too often, service providers stretch themselves thin trying to deliver it all - hello, burnout and resentment.

Many times your first sales meeting is NOT with the decision maker or CEO at a company.  That means your sales strategy needs to be different in that initial meeting in order to get the final meeting with the REAL decision maker.  In this solo episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I reveal why winning over internal stakeholders - like a CMO, Ops Lead, or HR Director - is the key to closing the deal. If you want a powerful internal champion that makes the CEO say yes, you've got to address the unique pressures and metrics of the person right in front of you. You must uncover each stakeholder's biggest pain points, demonstrate genuine empathy for their day-to-day challenges, and empower them with everything they need to pitch your solution up the chain.  Once you become a TEAM with your internal advocate, they will fight to internally sell you over any other solution or competitor.

Everyone focuses on their ideal audience and misses the huge opportunity lying in their ANTI audience.  So, when you've got tons of leads and no one is buying, the problem often isn't your offer—it's who you're selling to. In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I break down why defining your “anti-audience” is the key to making sales easier, faster, and more profitable.

Want to know the fastest and most unexpected way to increase your revenue and client retention? Clear boundaries.   People pleasers often think someone will like them more if they do more, never say no and go above and beyond.    However, if you don't let someone know what you're doing is above and beyond then it simply becomes what's expected and you quickly become burnt out.    Then you can't keep up that level of performance and the client leaves because quality declines (when in reality they just had mind-blowing quality before and had no idea).    Listen in to discover how to:

The mainstream way of handling objections is wildly ineffective.    It's convincing energy and it's not convincing anyone.    Instead, it ends up making the prospect feel dismissed and invalidated instead of seen and heard.    It's important to understand that objections are NOT something personal.    Objections are concerns and what do you do when someone you care about has a concern? You explore it with them.   This approach is extremely powerful in a sales conversation.    If you're ready to ditch the old, pushy sales tactics and embrace genuine, curiosity-driven conversations leading to long-term client relationships, then this is for you.    Because only good sh*t happens when you approach objections with curiosity, not coercion.  Are you in?    Listen to discover: Understanding the emotions around objections and how to manage them for success The completely natural fears prospects experience before investment and how to address them in a collaborative way The approach to objections that not only wipes out the need for pushing but also steers the conversation toward a place of relief and trust. Finding the ROOT of the resistance for more effective conversations Approaching objections as an opportunity to also understand if a client is a good fit for YOU (no nightmare clients policy!)   “You want to treat your clients better than you treat your prospects, and you want to treat your prospects like they're going to be your client for a really long time.” - Aleasha Bahr   Interested in mastering clear conversations and eliminating the need for convincing or discomfort around objections?
