Tip 32 is from Meredith Messenger and it's about how to become an expert in your field and how to develop business acumen. How have you developed your own business acumen and worked to become an expert? Join the conversation at DailySales.Tips/32 and learn more about Meredith.  

Meredith Messenger is VERY well versed in the demands of running a one-person shop and the struggles that many startups have with developing predictable revenue. She is the founder of Selling With Soul and the host of the Selling With Soul podcast. She is a Revenue Coach and Sales Consultant offering revenue strategy development, sales consulting and sales team building to start-ups, small and mid-sized companies. The mission of Selling With Soul is to help more small businesses survive, thrive and impact the world.   Episode Overview:   How to make sales NOT so SCARY! How Sales is an essential life skill If the art of Cold Calling is Dead Sales Pet Peeves Common Sales mistakes & tips to how to avoid them! How to utilize Sales Technology I also have another freebie for you - I just recently recorded a webinar on common sales proposal mistakes. Click here   How to make sales NOT so SCARY!   People have a negative impression on sales because they have gone through negative sales experience.   “We all hate that feeling of being sold to like we are trapped and we can’t get out on the conversation with the person who doesn't care about us at all and who just want to push their product on us”   These experience doesn't make us feel good and so we tend to bring up this emotion and experience when we talk about sales. When you are being sold to effectively and you didn’t know that, it doesn’t feel negative at all. In out of the business world, people tend to makes sales a little more complicated when it doesn’t have to be. Meredith’s mission and motto is to find how to we simplify sales, how do we put the fun back in sales and convince people that it is just about serving another person.     How sales is an essential life skill   Instead of making sales a thing about generating revenue, we should look at sales at a university level as a part of how we operate. An example that Meredith gave is when she had a negative sales experience in LinkedIn when someone sent her a message and tries to sell something about sales coaching. Immediately this made her feel that the person sending her the message is really obnoxious because it plainly tells her that these people don’t care about who she is, who didn’t even look at her profile and even worst, trying to sell a sales coaching program to a certified sales consultant. This action tells us that if they are sending this message to her, they are also doing it to thousands of people who are on LinkedIn and this gives a bad impression to all sales person.   Measuring the right metrics are really important because if we are pushing all of our people just to hit activity numbers, we are pushing for the wrong things and that is where our quality starts to suffer.     Is Cold Calling Dead?   According to Meredith, cold calling is a hot and highly debated topic because there are people who stand very firm in saying that YES it is dead and says everything can be sold through social selling but there are also people saying NO because outbound reach is very critical to a business. In Meredith’s point of view, there is no right or wrong answers to this because there are companies who are doing cold calling and outbound emails who are doing it really well and it also depend of the type of people you are talking to. There are also people who are using social selling all the time and are doing really good but you also have to understand what social selling is. Social selling is just providing value and getting into a point where they can get a phone call or a meeting from you because you provided value.   Tip: When you are at that point of your business, you have to proactively develop business. The business is not going to come to you and so therefor, outreach that area where a lot of people get really uncomfortable, talking to people they don’t know in one form or another has to happen in order for your  business to be successful.   Check out Selling with Soul Podcast Leveraging Technology to Make Sales With Miles Austin     Big mistakes that start-ups usually make: People don’t ask for the business Rushing the sales cycle Just because you are the seller doesn't mean you have the say on everything than the buyer does.   Recommended Tools: Nimble.com SalesForce.com HubSpot.com Mailchimp.com Drip.com Bots   Book Recommendations: Selling Boldly by Alex Goldfayn Little Red Book by Jeffrey Gitomer Stop Selling and Start Selling by James M.

Meredith Messenger’s background is in teaching emotionally disturbed children. It’s the thing she is most proud of. Unfortunately, it’s a job with a high burnout rate. And that’s exactly where Meredith found herself at age 24; burned out and no idea what to do next. She went to work for a medical start-up where she learned about financing, payroll, and IT.What she discovered is that the start-up world is almost completely dominated by men. She continued to work for start-ups as a consultant and learned a lot about what worked and what doesn’t. New businesses go under every year simply because they don’t know how to sell.Seeing the impact that knowing how to sell has for entrepreneurial businesses lit a fire under Meredith and prompted her to start her own business teaching these entrepreneurs everything she had learned about selling for success.Links:jennymelrose.com/how-to-sellClick to view: show page on Awesound

Do you talk to yourself? It's not a sign that you're crazy. Everyone does it everyday. But HOW we talk to ourselves could signal something is amiss with our mindset and self-belief. Mindset is one of, if not the, biggest factor in your sales and your success.  My guest today Natalie Eckdahl, author of R.E.S.E.T Your Mindset: Silence Your Inner Mean Girl, founder of the BizChix Community for women entrepreneurs and host of the BizChix Podcast. She says that we all have an "inner mean girl" or "inner mean boy" that voices our doubt and floods our mindset with negativity. Natalie is here to help us strategically deny these voices the power they need and change our mindset to work for us.  Natalie will also share with us some of the inner mean girl thoughts that plague our inner dialogue, fill us with self-doubt and suppress our revenue potential. Ask yourself as you listen if you've ever had some of these thoughts. Follow Natalie on Facebook and Instagram for more strategies to maintain a positive mindset.  Speaking of More Revenue Are you an entrepreneur, small business owner or leader looking for more advanced, one-on-one help generating revenue?

  Episode Summary Meredith and I talk about setting your revenue, sales, or growth goals where you design your plan backward! Meredith says to plan with the end in mind. One of the key things to think about when you are starting your side hustle and plan to transition out of working outside of the home is to ask ourselves, "How much money am I going to need?" Let's talk about the elephant in the room... FEAR! Looking at these numbers can be overwhelming and Meredith shares how you can create a plan backward and have a healthy mindset of money. "We have to learn to manage that mindset that this is a huge obstacle and break it down to small obtainable milestone chunks that we can absorb and give us a little bit of grace!" - Meredith Messenger The 3 step process for low-stress revenue generation - it's like building a house: Lay the foundation with the right mindset - sales is not a dirty word - we are in control, we are our only limiter The structure of your business is the buyer's journey - 3 pillars: the "M" phase, the funnel phase, and the retain and grow phase The roof of your house protects the structure that you have built and allows you to scale Track your success! We talk about tracking your conversion rate and what is the number of leads that are turning into sales. Meredith says that if you're not tracking this information, you won't know where to improve things in your business. "Track the success of those leads!" - Meredith Messagner Grab Meredith's freebie just for Side Hustle Moms fans! Full show notes: http://busymomcollective.com/ep44
