We're wrapping up this month's Marketing Methods series with a reminder that social media is just one way to create loyal shoppers for your farmers market operation, and not necessarily the best one. Nowadays rules and algorithms and reach seem to change daily, at the whim of the platforms. Email newsletters let you control your list and your timing, and personalize your outreach to build connections. How do you maximize those results? In this episode, Erika Tebbens, the Director of Impact at woman-owned and woman-led local food marketing agency Taste the Local Difference, makes a convincing case for breathing new life into your email marketing campaigns.

This episode was so much fun to record! Gosh I love Katie.   Katie is someone who I met in a business coaching program that we were both in with the wonderful Erika Tebbens. As soon as Katie started speaking, and especially when she started speaking about her business, I knew I not only wanted to hire her but I also wanted to be her friend. And that I am.    We speak about yoga, meditation, personal practices, energy, human design, and living life in a way that feels good to you.    One of the reasons I love Katie is because she speaks about these topics in such a kind and generous way. She knows not everyone is meant to have the same style of meditation. And that everyone has a different reason for incorporating these practices in their lives. And she is brilliant at helping people find their reason.    We also talk about the challenges of being an entrepreneur. And how sometimes you need to get another job to take some of the pressure off. And that is absolutely ok. She offers a great reminder that taking a step back in your business does not mean you love it any less.    I had the pleasure of joining Katie's Relaxation Club during the fall and winter and it was my favourite 30 minutes of the week. She has such a gentle and loving way of guiding you to move your body in a way that leads to total and complete relaxation - something we could all use a little help with. She'll be kicking that off again in June! And she will be also giving a 'Relaxation 101' workshop at the end of the month!

The Mother Like a Boss™ podcast has reached a big milestone: 300 episodes! To celebrate this incredible occasion (and celebrate every single one of you that has listened over the years) I'm bringing my best friend Erika Tebbens to the podcast to interview me. I'm answering questions submitted by our audience and students, and a few Erika is throwing in for good measure.  Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting the show, sharing it with friends, subscribing and letting us know how it's changing your life. It's all for you, mama!

Happy not-so-new-anymore year! Yes, I know I'm a bit late with my year in review episode, but I couldn't keep you waiting any longer for that brilliant conversation I shared with Eli Trier in my last episode. Besides, the usual excitement over the blank slate and new possibilities a new year brings… just hasn't been there for me this time round. This episode is a bit different. It has less of a branding and more of a general business and personal focus. I'm going to be sharing the good stuff from 2021, the not so good stuff, the top three lessons learnt, and a glimpse into my plans for 2022. It's the kind of transparency I myself was desperate to see from others when I first started out – and given that integrity, honesty and transparency are all values I align my own brand to, I want to practice what I preach. So in a way, I guess it does tie in with branding.

Courtney Holgate-Champney joins the podcast and talks about finding her path later in life, falling into healthcare supply chain for nonprofit healthcare through temp work (and loving it at the time!), and ultimately making a career change into tech in her 30s after a period of feeling dissatisfied and “stuck.”Courtney and I dig into:How moving away from her hometown was the first step to stepping into her own power and living a more aligned life.How she got her Bachelor's degree in Public Health at age 32 and how it gave her the foundation for making changes later in her career.How networking ultimately helped her realize how her current skills working in healthcare supply chain were well suited to tech sales – something she NEVER thought she'd do, that she absolutely loves, and that gives her family much more financial security and stability.How more flexibility and extra financial security with her job has allowed her to give back to her community, support local businesses, and volunteer more.The hardships that helped prepare her for a career change in her 30s and the 10 months it took to make the change.Handling the rejections along the way to making this career change.Courtney currently works in technology sales and has been in this position for over two years after moving from healthcare supply chain at a local non-profit healthcare system. She loves learning and talking about supply chain and healthcare, however her passion is in empowering women in industries that are traditionally dominated by men. Her undergrad is in public health and she also has an MBA, both from Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, where she currently resides with her husband and four year old. You can connect with Courtney over on LinkedIn or follow her on Instagram @workingwomxnrise.Check out the blog for more!Extra resources mentioned in the interview: ubu pod interview with Erika Tebbens – stats about women, money, and giving  back to the communityCourtney's favorite book: Burnout: The secret to solving the stress cycle by Emily Nagoski and Amelia NagoskiStacie's recommended book on therapy: Maybe You Should Talk To Someone by Lori Gottlieb

If you've ever asked yourself “why would people pay me to do this?” in your business, this episode is just the eye-opener that you need.   Episode Introduction:  Our guest today is a sales strategist who teaches us a new holistic approach to doing business and selling in a way that feels true to our values. Our episode today is filled with strategic tips, action steps, and aha moments.   Episode Summary:  Erika Tebbens walks us through her journey of making several scary pivots in her business until she found the path that aligned with not only her passion but also her core values as an individual. She now teaches other women to do the same through her consulting business.    Main Takeaways: Before you help solve an advanced-level problem for your clients, make sure you have something set up that helps them in their journey leading up to the point. When you feel like you need to earn more money, it's time to sit down and do a realistic breakdown of how that can be done without trading other important things that matter to you. The six key aspects that you need to assess in your business' foundation are: Truth - Your brand's promise. Health - Your business' financials and your personal well-being. Rest - Schedule periods to take a break. Impact - A product suite that serves people. Voice - High converting content plan. Exposure - Your marketing plan. It is okay to allow yourself grace and the flexibility to choose a new routine as per your life's shifts. When you're finding your core values, find 3-5 things that are non-negotiable for you as an individual.   Recommended Resources: Take the Strengths Finder Test: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/home.aspx Rebellious Success Program: https://erikatebbensconsulting.com/rebellious-success   Help us mentor other entrepreneurs through the power of storytelling by rating us and leaving a positive review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-chat-with-girija/id1528580730   Get the FREE Five Day Legal Audit: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/5-day-free-legal-audit-challenge/   Join Law Chat for Entrepreneurs Free Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/449334726047480   Find Erika Tebbens: Website: https://erikatebbensconsulting.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erikatebbensconsulting/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/erikatebbensonline Get the visual experience, watch the videocast for the episode here: https://youtu.be/aBBe7_ReCOA   Connect With Girija: Website: https://www.gbplaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbplaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GBPLaw/   Get Ready To Use Contact Templates At: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/

I am soooo excited about this episode you're about to hear! I know I say this every time, but this is an episode I've been looking forward to – maybe even a little bit more than usual. Can I even say that without offending any of my other guests? Ah well, I just did. Because today, my dear listeners, today I have the pleasure of introducing you to someone whose work has inspired and directly impacted me and my business; first as I consumed pretty much every free resource she has ever created (I'm still eagerly awaiting her podcast episodes every Wednesday, and you should too!) and then as I joined her group programme Rebellious Success – and now to be able to call her a friend, and soon-to-be client at the time of recording this… It's awesome. She's awesome. Erika Tebbens is a Sales Strategist for ambitious misfits who want success, but aren't willing to compromise who they are to get there. (See why I was drawn to her?) She works with service-providers, consultants, and coaches to create custom growth plans that avoid complex systems, sleazy sales tactics, or battling burnout. With 17+ years experience running successful businesses, from solo operations to multimillion dollar retail teams, Erika knows that there's no one "perfect" way to operate – only one that's perfectly aligned with your strengths, values, and vision. She also hosts the weekly Sell it, Sister! Podcast where she dishes out BS-free business advice.

Today's Guest: Erika Tebbens I'm Erika Tebbens. My clients call me their coach, consultant, or strategist. But I care less about labels and more about results. I've been running successful businesses for 17 years, and teaching ambitious misfits like you how to do the same. I've run multi-million dollar stores, a six-figure small business, and was in the top 3% of my direct sales company. I now run my consulting business entirely from my laptop, and rarely work more than 25 hours a week. I do work I'm passionate about with clients I adore and I'm well-paid. I believe in transparency, not false hope. I'm a super geek for all things ethical sales and marketing, and I have a knack for explaining it in a way that makes sense. I'm passionate about showing people like you a REAL path forward toward your goals. Not the newest marketing fad or the thing that will get you the most “likes.” I want you to make money, because we need more compassionate world-changers like you to have the power & leverage that money provides to make good shit happen. I also firmly believe there's no one “right” way to succeed in business. And yet the Internet is chock-full of people trying to sell you a cookie-cutter solution. Quotes from the episode: "Your marketing should be warming up your audience to get them to that sales call where you can build that real relationship." -Jennifer Tamborski "When we know what people really need and struggling with, we're no longer assuming their needs. WE can get to the heart of the matter." -Erika Tebbens Connect with Erika Tebbens: Website: https://erikatebbensconsulting.com/ (https://erikatebbensconsulting.com/) The Marketing Matchmaker YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMrbOFRkfTspCSS7MLCDomA Take the Marketing Matchmaker Quiz: https://mmquiz.com

Whether it be a product, service or career opportunity, we are all selling or being sold to on a daily basis. Sales is a part of our lives.

Erika shares with us her S.A.L.E.S method to authentic selling. If sales and self promotion is ultimately about confidence, courage and impact, then it's time we all get to it. Because if not you, then who? And if not now, then when? Let's support, promote, encourage, hire, say yes to women who are bravely putting themselves out there… let's celebrate women in sales!

I'm excited to chat with Erika Tebbens, a kick-ass female business consultant who brings entrepreneurs to the next level. We chat about networking, following through and how to sell with integrity. Making Connections to Make Sales I noticed the most important aspect of coaching and online business, in general, is the lack of people making an effort to make connections. No one is teaching coaches how to sell. Giving Value Away Give value, but if you want to get paid and have a viable business, you must embrace the people you serve. You are amazing, and the people you are speaking to will value your service. This means allowing them to take advantage of an opportunity they are a good fit for and help them. Coffee Chats to Talk Business So many women enjoy live coffee chats because it's an easy, low-key way to talk about business. I've been in lots of coffee chats where I take control of the situation to focus our talk on how to make money, get referrals, or whatever the topic is at hand for that session. So many women don't focus on relationship building because many of them don't want to be pushy or seen as high pressure. Listen in to find out how to build your self-confidence and why networking is important to build your business.   In this episode, I dive into how to create more sales, including: Why you want feedback on your product or service The importance of creating relationships when selling How you can make connections and network Why you want to network in-person For more information, visit the show notes at https://amandaabella.com/building-relationships-to-build-sales

Growing up we learn to follow the rules, hustle to create success, if we make enough money we'll be happy and valuable... Most of these stories are rooted in toxic systems that reinforce harmful ways of engaging money and people. This doesn't make money bad. But it does mean that we need an additional level of mindfulness to engage running a business that is sustainable and ethical in practice as well as product.  It takes cutting out the noise from all the “right way” gurus and following a path that you create based on your gifts, interests, and values. AND doing your own work to deprogram the unavoidably internalized hustle culture.In this episode of the Unlimited Podcast I invited Erika Tebbens to join me in a conversation around being sustainable AND ethical as an entrepreneur.Some of what we cover in this episode include:Creating systems that are aligned with your gifts and interestsMindset around pricing to be sustainableTapping into your intuition to build your businessReleasing shiny object syndromeLearning how to trust yourself and live in integrityAnd so much more!Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot of the episode to post in your stories and tag me!  @unlimitedcoachvalI love to hear your thoughts and I'm always happy to answer any questions.You can shoot me an email at valerie@valeriefriedlander.com or DM me on InstagramAND don't forget to subscribe, rate and review the podcast and tell me your key takeaways!CONNECT WITH ERIKA TEBBENS:InstagramSell It, Sister PodcastNo-Sleaze Sales GuideRad Clients On RepeatWork with Erika! CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Facebook Instagram Get email updates!

Does the thought of “selling” make you feel sleazy and leave you feeling like you need a shower? You’re not alone! It’s actually quite common for creative entrepreneurs, and even more so for female entrepreneurs to struggle with the thought of sales. If you struggle with the idea of selling, you’re going to love the message that guest Erika Tebbens has to share—selling can be simple, authentic, and leave you feeling good with money in your pocket. And, you can be a selling rockstar! Erika Tebbens is a Lord of the Rings lovin’, coffee drinking, teenager mama and all-around spunky entrepreneur. She’s not about the labels, but if she was you could call her a business coach, consultant, strategist or selling superstar. She’s paired her passion for helping women succeed at growing their businesses with the knowledge she’s gained from working corporate retail, small business retail and direct sales to create an incredible consulting business of her own - and she drops ALL kinds of knowledge in this episode. In this episode, you will learn: How Erika fell in love with selling and teaching others to succeed in sales and creating a great customer experience.

"I knew that my faith was bigger than my fear. And, I knew that if other people had figured it out that I would be able to figure it out too. It was just a matter of staying in the game long enough to see that success."  "Every new thing has a learning curve." "When you're so close to your own stuff, it's hard to see opportunities that you may be missing or small tweaks you can make that would make your life easier."  "There's room enough for all of us with all of our quirks and everything combined. We don't have to keep them hidden." "Everyone has something amazing to offer and by being too afraid to share it, you're keeping it from the people that need it most."  "You can be a selling rockstar. I promise."  A few areas to consider outsourcing early on include: Legal (hint, hint! You know a pretty fun lawyer!!) Accounting Social media Graphic design

Sometimes what you need to pull yourself out of a funk is cozy slippers, hot tea, and deep conversation. Other times, what you need is permission to slam your body into another strong woman while roller skating.    When Erika Tebbens found herself drowning in motherhood after moving across the country to a new community, the way she found herself again was through the surprisingly fierce community of roller derby.

In just a few months, however, she realized that what she was trying to sell wasn’t what her audience wanted to buy. “My people weren't worried about getting people to come back, they were stuck without being able to get enough clients in the first place,” Erika realized. Instead of doubling down and trying to find a new audience, she adjusted the offer. Erika began teaching marketing and sales strategy in a way that wasn't confusing, complicated, or sleazy—and her business took off. She learned that making a small but powerful shift (from customer experience to sales) can change everything. More nuggets in this episode: “Clarity comes from action” and from listening to what your audience is telling you they need (5:50) Even if you hire a coach or seek advice from others, ultimately it’s important to listen to your gut (6:35) It’s easy to dismiss your special talent because it seems so obvious to you (7:45) The why of your business is far more important than the how (8:43) Pivoting in business can be frustrating, but also totally worth it (10:05) A 100% closing rate is an impossibility, and anyone who says they can help you hit that number is full of crap! (11:25) You can’t be everything to everyone, but saying no to some people can be really, really hard (13:15) Ready to pivot? Be open to going down a path you weren’t expecting and resist the urge to hurry along the process (16:25) Don’t wait for the “right time” in business because it will never arrive; get okay with imperfection (19:00) If you believe what you do helps people, you’re doing a disservice by not selling it (20:10) Erika Tebbens is a Business Growth Strategist for ambitious womxn entrepreneurs. She's an expert in selling and sustainably scaling your business without restoring to complex systems or sleazy sales tactics. She's the creator of the No-Sleaze Sales Method and The Sell it, Sister! Podcast. She lives in Upstate, NY with her husband, teenage son, and two dogs. When she isn't working, she's probably listening to true crime podcasts or knitting.

How do you get through the holidays as a mom and business owner?   On this episode of the Plan Simple Meals Podcast, we have a special treat. I’m talking with Megan Flatt and four other Mama CEOs about how they find flow between business and family and keep things sane during the holiday season. Since we’re talking about work and family, let’s introduce ourselves, what we do and our kids ages. I’m Mia Moran. I help people plan their days. It means spending a lot of time in front of the computer while my 15, 13, and 9 year old are in school. It’s busy, so slowing down is hard for me.   With me today: Megan Flatt is a Mama CEO, a business growth strategist, and a planning pro who helps mom entrepreneurs grow and scale so they can reach their business goals and be present for their families. Her kids are 7 and 10. Stacy Spensley is a coach for parents of young kids through coaching classes and community. Her kids are 5 ½ and 2 ½ and she’s having a third in a few weeks. Sara Barry is a content strategist, client success manager, and a writer. She uses words to help people make connections. Her kids are 10 and 8. Erika Tebbens is a consultant who provides sales strategy for  passionate motivated women entrepreneurs. She shows them that sales doesn’t have to suck. Her son is 14. Sonia Ruyts owns a brick and mortar yarn store and is a coach to creative small business owners. She has kids who are almost 4 and 9. I love that we have a variety of kids and ages from 0 to 15. We have kids not in school and in school and home schooled. We have a range of business experience here. We also have people who love the holidays and others who really down play it. Hopefully something will speak to you.   We talk about: Setting boundaries—Try setting boundaries around your work time, even if you are not good about it during the rest of the year. Schedule some down time. Think about doing one thing a day (or less as suits you). Talk about boundaries around gifts with your family. Consider the “a want, a read, a wear, a need” criteria to simplify things. Setting priorities—What’s most important to you and your family? Ask your kids what they really want to do. Make sure those things have a place and then let the other things go. Putting your big rocks in place early. Get your work schedule and the kid’s school schedule on the calendar. Know what things have to happen at certain times and what things you want to make sure happen. Get those on the calendar and let other things flow around that. Knowing your business. Is this a time to push for your business or a time to scale back and set yourself up for a strong January? For retailers, it’s a busy time, which can affect how you schedule other things. Choosing things that are meaningful to you. Sara creates an Advent calendar of holiday books that helps her slow down and read with her kids and get in the holiday and giving spirit. Erika has something they do over the course of the winter to extend the feel of the season and does some volunteering. Sonia loves taking her family to her big, local light display and getting silly. Stacy gets Christmas jammies every year. Slowing down. Find out the way of slowing down that works for you, which may mean setting a day of home/down time or make choices about what you do or focusing on teaching kids about baking rather than pushing to get everything done. It could mean choosing to celebrate with extended family on a different day instead of trying to run around to many places on the actual holiday. Consider pacing the excitement by opening gifts as they come—then you can put things away when the shine wears off and take them out again later. Deciding what you want for you family. Getting really clear with yourself and your spouse with what you want for the holiday season. Then work with other people, like grandparents, who may want to see you.             LINKS Meganflatt.com Stacy Spensely, Semi-Crunchy Mama Sara Barry, Content Strategist & Copywriter Erika Tebbens Consulting Sonia Ruyts, Creativity Coach   Doable Changes from this episode: GET YOUR BIG ROCKS IN PLACE. Get any big work days on the calendar. Pick the key things that you want to do as a family during the holiday season. Put those on your calendar now. Get used to saying no to other things that pull you out of the holiday feel you want. SCHEDULE SLOW DOWN TIME. Schedule down time for yourself or your family. That might me a Sunday when you all sit around and read Christmas stories or setting aside every Friday for a holiday movie night or choosing not to go to another holiday party. Take an afternoon to browse in your favorite book store instead of braving the mall. Spend time baking cookies or crafting. Cross something off your list undone and take a holiday stroll. Mark off some time on your calendar for this and hold it sacred. SET BOUNDARIES AROUND GIFTS. We talk a lot about scheduling and being busy, but there is also an overabundance of “stuff” this time of year. Set boundaries about gifts and share them with family members. Consider going with just “a want, a read, a wear, a read” or encouraging family members to share experiences, like tickets to an event or a museum membership, instead of stuff. Think about when you want to open gifts—will you do it all on Christmas morning? Will you open them at different events throughout the season? Will you open them as they arrive at your house? Decide and communicate to your family.
