For many horse business owners, when they think of sales the word pushy or sales comes up. In episode 168 I used the analogy of a used car salesman – it's that ick factor that makes you feel awkward as soon as you start selling.

That means that as an equestrian entrepreneur, you need to strengthen your sales-building skills. But, is it possible for sales to feel natural, even if you hate it right now? Yes! In this episode, you'll learn 3 simple ways you can sell more without feeling salesy.

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Melissa Snow, the founder of Powerful Women Rising. Melissa and I have one of those "we just know each other" connections—probably from an event we both attended years ago, but honestly, time isn't real. In our conversation, Melissa shared her journey from an unexpected start in entrepreneurship—taking over a fully loaded client list overnight—to realizing that networking is the most underrated, sustainable way to grow a business. She helps entrepreneurs—introverts, extroverts, socially awkward folks, and everyone in between—learn how to network like a human and not like a salesy weirdo. She built Powerful Women Rising, an online community for female entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses through meaningful connections, support, and referrals. And yes, it's global! Melissa hosts a virtual speed networking event every month, which draws women from all over the world. We dug deep into what networking really is (spoiler: it's not just showing up to events), how introverts like us can make it work, and why trusting your own journey in business is crucial. She also shared her own challenges, like the time she overheard women talking about her at an event and how she reframed that experience into fuel for creating a more inclusive and supportive space. If you've ever felt awkward about networking, thought you needed all the "business stuff" (like a website) before making real connections, or just want to find a way to build your business authentically, this episode is packed with insight. Melissa's Powerful Women Rising speed networking events happen on the second Thursday of every month, and first-timers can attend for free using the promo code firsttime. You can connect with her at PowerfulWomenRising.com or follow her on Threads, where she's been building a vibrant and engaged community. And of course, you can always find me on Instagram @lifejennsway or at jennsway.com.

It's not always fun talking about pain points in your marketing, but I want to show you how you can talk about pain points and not feel like a salesy jerk. Your ideal client has a problem they want to solve. And your program or offer can solve that pain point. So you talking about pain points can help a lot of people to understand more about how you can help them. ...when you do it the right way.TAKEAWAYS:Speaking about pain points helps your audience feel understood. Your audience wants to feel seen and heard so when you talk about pain points, you are validating their experience and concerns.You owe it to your audience to tell them what you offer. If you don't call out these symptoms as a great fit to work with you, how will they ever know you can actually help them?Not all marketing needs to be pain point marketing. Remember that there are 7 types of buyers and pain point marketing only targets one type of buyer. So use the pain point marketing technique, but don't shift all your marketing. RESOURCES:Visit the blog post that goes along with this episode for more resourcesCheck out Polly the Pitch Sequence Generator and create unlimited Email Pitch Sequences in a matter of (literal) minutesIf you want to learn more about AI assistants, listen to episode 413Want a backstage pass to the Funnel of the Month Club?

Mastering Sales Through Human ConnectionFor so many entrepreneurs who are starting out, it can seemdaunting to figure out how to make a sale without being salesy. It is essentialto understand that selling is serving and how to do it in a way that does notpush people into anything. Your job in sales is to build a human connection andhelp people to make a decision.Embracing Human Connection in SalesThe first thing to learn about sales is that sales are nottransactional. We are learning how to engage people to do something that theymay not want to do, but that gets them the result they are looking for. Peopleare not buying the thing we sell; they are buying the outcome and the result.Building a human connection and listening to what people are looking for allowsyou to help people decide whether to engage or not.The Power of ListeningAs salespeople, the goal is to step back from being overlyinterested in showcasing what we have to offer and instead focus on beinginterested in what the client needs. We want to be interested in them, not showoff how interesting we are. The conversations are not about you and what youhave to offer; they are about the client. By asking the right questions andbuilding a genuine human connection, you discover what truly matters to themand position your offer as a solution to their specific needs.Coaching Through ConversationsSales conversations mirror coaching sessions in many ways. Bothrequire the ability to guide individuals through uncertainties and help themreach clarity. You are not pushing someone towards a yes or a no. You aresupporting them in exploring what feels most aligned with their goals. You wantto help them make a decision that they feel good about.About Nic CramerNicole Cramer is a distinguished Sales Conversation Coach,Keynote Speaker, and Corporate Sales Trainer, celebrated for transforming salesthrough human connection and strategic language.

In today's Philosophy Friday, Mitch dives deep into the power of connecting with your audience—whether it's a room of executives or a crowd of thousands. Recorded live from New Orleans, where Mitch is speaking at a leadership conference... this episode blends philosophy with practical strategy to help you honor and engage your audience. Plus, Mitch introduces the empowering concept of pronoia—the belief that the world is out to support you—and explains how it can transform the way you interact with your audiences... even those with “grumpy listening faces.” Pro-Tips for Speakers: Honor Your Audience: Small actions like eye contact signal respect and presence, helping to foster trust and engagement. Choose Pronoia: Adopting a mindset that the world (and your audience) supports you leads to greater connection and enjoyment in your work.
