When I was first starting out, the thought of selling VIP days was very scary to me. Now I laugh about it because it's not that hard. But it's not something that comes easy to people. Nikki Rausch is the CEO of Sales Maven, an organization dedicated to authentic selling. She joins me to talk about her story, how she works with entrepreneurs to help them get better at sales conversations, and how to offer, deliver and price a premium VIP Day.  Nikki explains that selling is not something you do to somebody but with somebody. You are not trying to convince them that what you have is the right solution for them. Rather, you're having a conversation to find out whether what you offer is right for their particular problem and needs. For the last half of the episode, we talked about how to create and structure a VIP day to best suit your ideal client. Nikki shared how she structures her VIP Days, what you should keep in mind and how to approach pricing and how to close your discovery call with prospective clients.  This was a great conversation and Nikki's approach is very much aligned with how we do things on Team Sigrun.  In this Episode of The Sigrun Show: How Nikki came to start Sales Maven and working with entrepreneurs (3:12) How she sees sales (7:05) Why sales calls are important to your prospective clients ( 11:54) How not to end your sales conversations and how to end them instead (12:48) What to say and do when someone says “I need to time to think about it” (13:40) How to structure a VIP Day and what to consider including as content (14:53) How Nikki does her own VIP Days and leaves the structure flexible  (17:54) What she does to make VIP days a premium experience (20:53) How to close off the VIP day and how to keep your VIPs working with you (22:46) Laying out your offer in your VIP Day discovery call (28:00) How to price your VIP Day (31:16) Sigrun's first VIP Days (34:34) Connect with Nikki Rausch Free ebook: Closing the Sale

Like many Black women in America, today's guest went through a period when she believed that she had to look a certain way in order to be perceived as beautiful, mainly related to her curly, natural hair. After deciding to wear her hair naturally in college and encountering pushback from her own family, Nikki Walton realized the importance of creating a community for Black women who also felt the desire to embrace their natural hair. She started her industry-disrupting and now wildly popular blog, Curly Nikki, to document her natural hair journey, which went on to become the number one natural haircare and beauty blog in the world, reaching millions of women in over 30 countries and influencing the marketing and formulation of products for major beauty brands.From the outside, with all the television appearances, book deals, and sponsorships that come with being unafraid to take a leap of faith and put yourself out there, Nikki was the picture of success and empowerment. On the inside, however, she was struggling with burnout and disillusionment, working 24/7 on building her brand while also juggling being a wife and mother. It all came to a head when she realized that she didn't have a strong enough spiritual foundation to sustain it all. This led her on a spiritual quest, which ultimately culminated in a podcast collaboration with the Be Here Now Network. Go(o)d Mornings with CurlyNikki is currently one of the top 10 spiritual podcasts in the world.In today's episode, Nikki shares how her relationship with her hair impacted her confidence and her perception of beauty, why she had to learn to acknowledge fear rather than trying to eliminate it, and the key to her success, which was infusing everything she did with her personal story.

In this episode of the SALTovation podcast, we speak with Nikki Dobay, Senior Tax Counsel for Council of State Taxation (COST), and our very own Judy Vorndran.Nikki uses her expertise to explain how COST plays into the tax conversations and the inner workings of the state tax brain trust. She also discusses how COST decides what issues they focus on. Listen to how she explains how the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) was formed and why smaller businesses should get involved in the MTC.Questions asked and answered in this Episode:How did Nikki shift from public accounting to COST and back to a law firm?What role does COST play in the tax conversation?Where does COST focus their efforts?How can small sellers get involved in the MTC? What You Will Discover: [01:14] How Nikki navigated her career[09:26] What role does COST play in the tax conversation[20:13] How does COST decide what they get involved in[24:29] How Nikki thinks of the Oregon Corporate Activity Tax[28:53] How to determine state nexus[35:37] What is some advice for small sellers to get involved in the MTC?[42:39] Outro Quotables: “Somebody did tell me early on when I was very nervous because I had to testify about unclaimed property, which I know nothing about. And the person just said ‘I guarantee you even if you know almost nothing, you know more than they know. Just walk in there. You’re the smartest person in the room on this and just say whatever you think will help.” - Nikki Dobay [05:07]“What I have come to see going from the biggest firm in the world into a regional firm was how much that vote gets missed for the little guys. And the big guys can afford to pay someone like you. They can afford to hire someone internally as a lobbyist.” - Judy Vorndran [17:02]“It just seems like the state shouldn’t be able to dictate what the federal law says. It’s not their job to interpret this federal law and whether or not it applies.” - Nikki Dobay [34:15]“I think it’s a voice that really gets lost and the states don’t hear about it. They don’t think about it and they don’t understand that these decisions are having significant impacts on small businesses and mid-size businesses that are really just trying to make it and you’re going to crush them with state tax compliance for what reason.” - Nikki Dobay [36:12] Relevant Links: Website: https://www.cost.org/about-cost/staff/nikki-e.-dobayLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikki-e-dobay-10a018a

How do you gain clarity? In this episode, Nikki Barua and Monica Marquez explain how they found their passions and identified their unique skills. Change is constant; the only species that survive are the ones that adapt to the change. The challenge in innovation is about anticipating change and adapting quickly. Nikki built her reputation as an innovation expert and has guided people and organizations in adapting to change quickly. That’s why she is known as the Darwin of the Digital Age. Early in her career, Nikki would attempt to fit into a box and define herself narrowly. However, she learned that your unique skill is something that comes effortlessly. Nikki discovered that her unique skill is her ability to see the big picture, connect-the-dots, and recognize patterns. Nikki says that to grow your impact, you must find the most significant platform where you can reach the most people, solve their problems and deliver massive value. Monica always had a knack for finding creative solutions to problems. She didn’t see the lack of resources or tools as a limitation. Instead she had a gift in being resourceful and creative to solve the most challenging problems. She discovered that her unique skill was creativity and resourcefulness and it was something people valued greatly.   Monica wants to help other underdogs figure out the way and find opportunities. She takes her creativity and resourcefulness to pave the way for other underdogs. That’s why she is known as the McGyver of the Marginalized. Highlights: [01:00] How Nikki gained clarity [04:50] How Nikki discovered what she wanted to be known for [07:30] How Monica gained clarity [12:10] How Monica discovered what she wanted to be known for Quotes: “I was always equal parts creative and analytical.” – Nikki Barua “Every business is trying to adapt a change; you need to understand what change is likely to happen.” – Nikki Barua “Change is happening so fast; if you don’t get ahead of that change, then you are going to be left behind.” – Nikki Barua “It’s all about survival of the fastest and I help people adapt to change quickly. That’s why I am the Darwin of the Digital Age!” – Nikki Barua “I learned that my creativity and resourcefulness was a skill I could use to be successful.” – Monica Marquez “Identify the largest platform, share the message, and create opportunities for others to become aware.” – Monica Marquez   Links: Take the Quiz: https://www.iambeyondbarriers.com/quiz/

In this episode, I interview Nikki Love, an extraordinary person who lives by three words -- love, fun, and adventure. Listen in as she talks about her adventures and what drives her to take the challenge of breaking the world record running across Australia. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Nikki’s adventures and the life of running Moving to England and building a new life Gearing up for different marathon events The books and the people that became Nikki’s influences What drives Nikki to keep challenging herself Battling insecurities and nagging fears What Nikki does to train mentally How Nikki juggles between being a mother, running a business, and going on adventures Key Takeaways: To make things happen, you have to start working on things to create the life that you want. You don’t always have to listen to other people when they try to talk you out of a challenge. Sometimes you only have to listen to yourself and find your own dreams. If what you can do helps other people, there’s more purpose to it. Working on your mental toughness is essential when preparing for marathons. Action Steps: Give yourself a goal or a target, and then do it. Know your purpose and your bigger WHY. Keep a journal of what you’re going to do, but write them in the past tense. In this way, when you read it, you’re reinforcing to your subconscious that you’ve already done it. Nikki said: “Life throws things at you, and when things are thrown at you, you start thinking, ‘Maybe I can’t do this. Maybe I’m pushing just one step too far.’ But then I have to think again about why it is that I’d want to give it a go in the first place.” “You have to work out what it is that you genuinely want. And if that means that you journal that lifestyle that you want, then eventually you will start making the decisions and the choices to implement the results that you want.” Thanks for listening!

Nikki Chin, the founder of Spark Spring, an online marketing company, tells us how to successfully navigate the business world as a solopreneur. Ever been scared to take a leap of faith and start a business by yourself? Nikki gives great advice on how to be a successful solopreneur! Solopreneur Success: Nikki moved to Louisville to reduce her cost of living, and to pursue her original dream of being a sign-language interpreter. She originally learned to sell as an insurance agent before starting Task Guardian, a digital marketing company. Nikki's pet peeve is people who try to do everything themselves and don't ask for help in business. We learn the reasons a company should choose Wordpress over another web builder such as Wix or Squarespace (Wordpress will grow as your company grows). How Nikki has built successful businesses while attending "The School of Hard Knocks" and why she believes anybody can be successful without going the traditional college route. Nikki's key to doing great is to make everything a game/competition (gamification). To self-teach herself, Nikki used Moz.com to learn how to be a successful marketer/web designer. She recommends others use online learning platforms and find a mentor if they skip the college route. If she could go back and do it again, Nikki would skip college and go straight into the workplace, but does regret missing out on some of the relationships colleges provide. The problem with most entrepreneurial failures is that people give up and are not persistent. To learn more about not giving up, check out our episode with Jon Matar. "It's the journey not the destination. Once you get to the destination you're bored." "Fail fast and optimize what is good." As we learned from our conversation with Matt Kenney, when you're young you can afford to fail because you have the rest of your life to make it up. John's mindset when starting his business was the worst thing that could happen is he goes right back to where he was with his previous employer.  Remember to focus on what you love and what you're passionate about because you don't want to be miserable and filled with regret the rest of your life.  Nikki prefers Facebook and Instagram for both personal and business but has not jumped on the Snapchat train yet.  One thing everyone can learn from Facebook is their constant drive to keep improving.  One of her keys to getting new clients is to ask for testimonials from her friends and existing clients.  Last call questions and answers: Best career advice: Never give up Advice to entrepreneur:  Have the guts and skill set to be successful.  What advice would your 60-year-old self give you today? Charge more at Task Guardian and be more selective with her clients.  Best thing spent money on the past 6 months: Rocky Patel Edge cigar. Get from J Paul at Oxmoor Smoke Shoppe Financial vice:  Going out to eat.  What media do you recommend: Essentialism by Greg McKeown Favorite drink: Yuengling! Like Phil Brun, Nikki swims well in all waters.  What do John and Paul love about Drunken Money?  John - being able to educate people without financial backgrounds about personal finance and entrepreneurship.  Paul - being able to create and keep learning every day, while hanging out with awesome people.  Special shoutouts and show notes: Yuengling, America's Oldest Brewery, is Nikki's favorite beer and one of John and Paul's gotos when they're on vacation. Scary Mommy, a blog Nikki helped that originally got her into the marketing world. Kale & Flax - a friend of everyone on the show and the designers of John's redesigned website. Wordpress - Nikki recommends companies use Wordpress to build their websites, even though the learning curve is steeper than other platforms. Executive Presence - a book Nikki highly recommends for women professionals. Enjoyed this episode? You can learn more about Nikki Chin at GoSparkSpring.com.

  If you want to know how to write a book, this is the episode for you. Many in the Happy Black Woman community have been interested in writing a book for some time but simply haven’t known how to get started. That excuse is gone with this episode. Today Nikki Woods, a black woman who specializes in helping authors get their book written, published, and out into the world with a BANG is on the episode with Rosetta. She going to share the basics approach she uses to help many authors write best-sellers and make that book an integral part of their brand and expertise. You’re going to gain a lot of insight about writing and publishing a book on this episode. How to write a book: Nikki unpacks her process. There’s a lot more that goes into writing a book than you might realize. It’s not only about sitting in a chair and pounding away on a keyboard. You’ve got to know how to organize your thoughts, how to plan the book out in a logical way, how to build a following BEFORE you write the book, and how to publish and promote it once it’s written. Nikki Woods is here to help. Her generous sharing on this episode will help you get oriented in the right direction to get that book out of you and into the world! After you’ve written a book, what do you do with it then? It’s a monumental task to write a book that’s worth reading. Even if you haven’t gotten over that hurdle yet, you will if you keep working at it. But once it’s written - then what? You can’t expect to announce it on your Facebook feed and sell thousands of copies. It simply doesn’t work that way. You’ve got to know how to promote a book the right way - the way that gets people’s eyes on it and their wallets out to purchase it. Nikki Wood has that part of the process wired and will be sharing aspects of it with you on this episode, so be sure you listen to what she’s got to share. Why writing a book is a great opportunity for you as an entrepreneur. When you put your knowledge and experience between the covers of a book something amazing happens. People almost instantly view you as an expert, a person who knows the details and specifics of how to do what it is you do. That’s when people start contacting you to find out how you can help them with their dreams. It’s when you begin coaching, building courses, speaking at events. The book is the key that opens many doors of opportunity. Today Nikki Woods is going to share how that happens and why you need to get started writing your book right away. Build your platform and tribe before you write the book. Many entrepreneurs who become authors make a fatal mistake at the beginning of their publishing journey. They forget to build an audience before the book is even written. It may sound counterintuitive but think about it: When you’re able to begin the conversation about the topic of your book far in advance of writing the book, people begin to see you as the person who knows about and is interested in that topic. They begin to see you as the go-to person for all things related to the topic. When you begin to talk about writing a book on the subject you’ll get all kinds of enthusiasm, feedback, and insight into what your book should be about and the momentum will start to build.
