Scared of selling and feel uncomfortable asking for the sale? This week Fashion brand consultant Elizabeth Stile Joins me on the podcast to chat selling with ease and without feeling salesy Elizabeth, dives deep into the world of sales and provides valuable insights on how to effortlessly promote your business and connect with customers.One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of actively promoting what you have to offer. Many people underestimate the interest their customers have in their products, leading to missed opportunities. Nicole and Elizabeth emphasize the need to make it crystal clear that you have something for sale when promoting your business.Creating desirability for your products is another crucial aspect discussed. Limited runs and a sense of scarcity can increase sales significantly. People want what others want, so portraying a lack of interest in your products is a big no-no. Instead, focus on building momentum and showcasing positive feedback to generate interest and desire in potential customers.A central theme explored throughout the episode is the importance of approaching sales from a point of service. It's not just about selling; it's about genuinely solving problems or providing pleasure for your customers. Nicole and Elizabeth stress the value of equal exchange and encourage sellers to overcome the fear of undercharging.Key Takeaways 1/Many businesses assume their customers aren't interested in what they have to offer and therefore don't promote it enough. But the truth is, the real reason their products don't sell is because they haven't actively sold them.n2/ When promoting your business, it's important to make it clear that you have something for sale. There's a fine line between sharing personal aspects of your life and promoting your products, but it's crucial to provide details about availability, pricing, and launch times.  3/ Building up momentum and showcasing positive feedback can generate interest and desire in potential customers. Approach sales from a point of service, adding a call to action to everything and taking the emotion out of selling. It's about creating value for both parties.  4/ Personalize your interactions with customers by using their names when messaging them. This creates a sense of being seen, heard, and respected. Connecting with your audience on an emotional, human level is crucial for building lasting relationships.  5/ To create a personal connection, consider sending voice notes. Not only does it lead to immediate responses, but it also helps build an emotional bond with customers. Sharing personal experiences and emotions allows customers to see themselves in you and builds trust.  6/ People don't only follow for a nice product, but also to connect with the person behind it. Using DMs and voice notes creates a conversation-like atmosphere that helps build relationships. Showcasing your personality helps customers relate to you and your brand.  7/ Your product should solve a problem or provide pleasure for your customers. They buy based on the perception of great value, desirability, or a cheap price. Don't compete solely on price, but strategically discount to attract customers.  8/ Highlight the unique value and desirability of your product compared to competitors. Providing detailed information about your product's features and benefits can help attract customer interest. Remember to show your face in videos to build desirability and accelerate the customer journey.  9/ Clear communication and guiding customers are crucial. People often like being told what to do, so provide reasons for your customers to stay engaged. You play the role of a traffic signaler, guiding them through their journey and creating a smooth experience.  Recommendations Words that sell https://www.amazon.co.uk/Words-that-Sell-Revised-Expanded/dp/0071467858/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3JMPTUZOXOHN5&keywords=words+that+sell&qid=1690318903&sprefix=words+that+sell%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-1 How to be a bad ass at making money https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=how+to+be+a+badass+at+making+money&crid=1Q660YM579ZU&sprefix=how+to+be+a+badda%2Caps%2C91&ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_1_16 Oversubscribed https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oversubscribed-How-People-Lining-Business/dp/0857088254/ref=sr_1_1?crid=AQG2XYZW83EZ&keywords=oversubscribed+daniel+priestley&qid=1690318863&sprefix=oversubscrib%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-1Nicole Higgins Links https://www.instagram.com/thebuyerandretailcoach/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolehigginsuk/https://thebuyerandretailcoach.com/https://thebuyerandretailcoach.com/newsletter-sign-up/https://thebuyerandretailcoach.com/free-discovery-call/https://thebuyerandretailcoach.com/blog/Elizabeth Stileshttps://www.elizabethstiles.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/elizabethstilesuk/This show was brought to you by Progressive Media

“How do I run a promotion that doesn't damage my brand?” is a question I get asked all the time. It's a valid concern, evidenced no better than by what my friend and fashion brand consultant Elizabeth Stiles calls “The Gap Trap” - where the constant over-promoting and discounting of stock at the famous clothing retailer culminated in the admittedly flagging brand having to shut up shop in the UK. The important thing to remember is that promotions should look like they're designed for and are beneficial to your customers, but really, first and foremost, they need to work for you! One of the best questions to ask yourself when you're considering running a promotion is:  “What is your end goal?” In today's episode of The Resilient Retail Game plan we'll discuss the types of promotions, discounts and campaigns available to small businesses, their effectiveness and when best to employ them. We'll discuss the powerful but short-term impact of blanket promotions, using specific targeted promotions to clear stock and how this differs from a ‘stock clearance' sale. We'll also talk about plotting your promotions against your sales calendar, promotional options such as free shipping and how promotions, at their core, are a great way to have new conversations with your customer.

So, in today's podcast, we talk about trying to shift our mindsets around selling, appreciating that it can be a mutually beneficial exchange and not you pulling a fast one on your unsuspecting audience. We talk about the art of conversation, seduction and the power of emotion when it comes to people's purchasing decisions.

So, the inspiration for today's episode came out of a conversation I was having with fashion brand consultant, Elizabeth Stiles. We chat often over WhatsApp, sometimes about the things that drive us crazy about small businesses - and on this occasion we both found ourselves bemoaning the recent trend of founders posting negatively framed content about their businesses. Now, this episode is definitely not about shaming you if you're having a tough time, or indeed if you've recently shared posts on social media to this effect! What I really want to discuss today are the risks of implementing such a strategy, the damage it can do to your brand and ultimately why it's important to understand that there should be a line when it comes to sharing content built around your business. In today's podcast, we'll talk about compassion fatigue and not shifting your problems onto your customers. I discuss how retail is theatre, and how we as small business owners need to offer up escapism. We'll also look at how to positively reframe your struggles and challenges, by thanking those who are supporting your business and how we can authentically connect with our audience by “sharing the scar, not the wound”.

Elizabeth is a fashion & textiles brand consultant, who takes us on the journey of venturing into her own business after 15 years of experience as a buyer & sales manager for the likes of Next, New Look, River Island & Urban Outfitters. Through online courses focused on selling & visibility, Elizabeth helps launch & scale independent brands. We talk through how she built a business that's let her follow her passion of helping creatives make more money, including the realisations that come with launching, visibility, and persistence when selling and marketing. Tune in for great advice on how to keep showing up even when reception feels quiet (and the benefits that will follow,) as well as how to find your footing in what you love to do.   You can find Elizabeth at https://www.instagram.com/elizabethstilesuk/ https://www.elizabethstiles.co.uk/   QUOTES “Selling has so many negative connotations to it… it's weird, it's pushy. But I was really good at selling and I was just nice. If people like you, they want to spend time with you. And then if they want to spend time with you, you can show them nice stuff. And if they like your nice stuff, then they'll buy it.”   “When it's quiet, those negative voices like to creep into that space of silence and fill it really, really loudly with, ‘Nobody wants to hear from you. Everyone's unsubscribing. Everyone's unfollowing.' It can seem like that, but meanwhile there are other people following and other people subscribing.”   “How do you buy as a consumer? You are looking at something, and then your phone rings… and then you're looking at something else and the dinner's boiling over…the dog starts barking, the postman's here…the process could take like six weeks. But when we post one picture on Instagram and nobody buys anything, we throw our phones out the window. Calm down, have some patience with people.”

E-commerce can be very demanding. It takes enough energy and focus to create, source, produce and manufacture wonderful products - finding the consistent motivation, correct strategy and optimal platform on which to then sell can feel like an exhausting and elusive endeavour at the best of times.  That's why in episode 107 of The Resilient Retail Game Plan, I speak to fashion brand consultant Elizabeth Stiles. Equipped with over 15 years of experience in the retail industry, Elizabeth focuses on the three key pillars of manufacturing, mindset and marketing to help founders form financially sustainable businesses. In today's podcast, Elizabeth shares her top tips for online selling success. We discuss social media sales channels, posting more regularly and why we have to stop blaming the algorithm for slow growth. We also talk about “selling through the silence”, creating the kind of content you enjoy consuming, moving out of your comfort zone in order to connect authentically with customers and how the evolution of Instagram, TikTok and the rest means you can't get away with phoning it in any more.

I think we can all agree that Christmas wouldn't be much of a success if Santa Claus didn't show up, and the same holds true for your business. If you don't put the time and effort in to get yourself out there and make your brand and your products more visible you won't be taking full advantage of one of the most lucrative sales seasons in the calendar.   Incredible products will sell themselves, but some of your lines will need a little TLC to get them flying off the shelves. That's why it's not only important but essential to break through those barriers of self-consciousness, embrace repetition and shout loud and proud about your wonderful offerings in the run-up to the big day.  In today's episode, I speak to fashion brand consultant Elizabeth Stiles. After working for 14 years in the industry, Elizabeth now works with purpose-driven independent brands to help support them with their manufacturing, marketing and mindset and she's a real visibility queen.   In this podcast, we discuss the importance of giving your products the exposure they deserve, how the more you talk, the more you have to talk about and how if you focus on your sales, your operations will take care of themselves.

In 1606, as Shakespeare staged Macbeth, James I had published his book on witchcraft and the supernatural called Daemonology, and witch trials were rampant across the UK bringing women of all ages and classes before a court hearing for acts of anger, revenge, and even mental illness, all of which called them under suspicion of evil magic. The presence of witches on stage was not merely theatrical for Shakespeare's plays but also represented a cultural reality for turn of the 17th century society in which witches, spells, magic, and the consequence of delving into the supernatural were active in the lives of Elizabethan England. One particularly harsh case of witchcraft in 1578 occurred when Shakespeare was just 14 years old, and saw a woman named Elizabeth Stile brought before the court for her acts of anger, considered so threatening that Elizabeth I had her famous magus and astrologer John Dee perform acts of counter magic to defend against Elizabeth Stile. Here this week to share the story of what happened to Elizabeth Stile, why she was charged as a witch, and what these incidents tell us about Shakespeare's presentation of witches in Macbeth and Henry VI part 2, is our guest and author of Witchcraft in Shakespeare's England for The British Library, Carole Levine.

The Pantone Colour of the Year 2021 has been announced and there are two of them! Ultimate Gray + Illuminating Yellow.   2016 was the only other time Pantone has two colours, in the two decades they have been doing the colour of the year.   I got together with my friend, Elizabeth Stiles who is a fashion brand consultant to talk about the Pantone Colour of the Year 2021.   ELIZABETH AND I DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING: The meaning behind the two colours of the year How this meaning and the colours relate to the consumer mindset right now What we think about the colours! How to use the two colours in your product development From using them literally To using the meaning behind them How to use the colours in fashion, accessories, beauty, home, stationery and gifting How to use the message behind the Pantone colour of the year in your marketing and content Other accent colours that work well with these two colours   Our key takeaway is don’t just focus on the colours and take them literally. But use the meaning behind them in your product development and marketing.   People can get so outraged about the colour choices!

The Delicate Rebellion is a beautiful print publication to challenge the mainstream media's portrayal of women and to bring your peepers back from screen to print.  Last year, Hannah launched The Collective, an online community that pairs the wild ones featured in the mag with the readers to provide a community with the added benefits of mentorship, online workshops, support and encouragement.

My guest today walks us through how to make the transition when you have one foot in your full-time day job (the one that's paying the bills) and the other knee deep in entrepreneurship. Girl's got rent, ya know...but the girl also deserves a chance to build the business of her dreams. Elizabeth Stiles is a fashion brand consultant in the UK. She's worked in all aspects of the fashion and apparel industry. She had a lot of great jobs that paid well, but something was missing. She wanted something bigger, something better.
