As it turns out, the biggest blocker to outreach isn't time, strategy, or even knowing who to contact. It's fear, specifically the fear of being (or feeling) ‘salesy'. In fact, when I ran a LinkedIn poll, 70% of coaches said this was their number one concern. That fear shows up as discomfort, as overthinking every word of a message, and as procrastination that leaves outreach undone. And still, outreach is not optional if you want to grow your business. Inside this episode, I share why this fear is so common, how to work through it, and the mindset and systems that will help you do outreach without it feeling out of alignment with your values. Listen in to hear more about: ✅ The tension coaches feel when outreach feels “push-y.” ✅ How perfectionism and fear keep you stuck in avoidance. ✅ How outreach can grow your business if you do it consistently. ✅ Ways to view rejection so it feels like part of your growth. ✅ A free set of 30 outreach templates to get you out of overthinking and into action. Even if only a portion of your messages get replies, you'll be building conversations, creating opportunities, and moving your business forward. ➡️ Grab your copy of the 30 customizable outreach templates at elliescarf.com/templates and start sending messages without the overthinking. As always, I'll be back next week with more practical ideas for growing your executive coaching business. And don't forget to reach out and connect with me on LinkedIn.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Dan Lear discuss:The evolution of modern sales philosophy and methodologyRelationship-building and persistence in business developmentThe impact of information access on buyer behavior and expectationsQualifying clients and aligning offerings with real needs Key Takeaways:Hard-selling and product-pushing tactics no longer resonate in today's market, where the more effective approach is to guide prospects through a personalized, trust-based buying process that prioritizes their needs and decision-making journey.To avoid wasting time and energy, sales professionals must rigorously qualify prospects early on by confirming they have a compelling reason to change, a genuine commitment to act, decision-making authority, and the financial means to proceed.In a world where buyers have access to the same data and pricing transparency as sellers, attempts to manipulate or pressure them are counterproductive and often backfire, as credibility and authenticity now matter more than persuasion.Sustainable business development stems not from being aggressively persistent but from cultivating genuine relationships, staying consistently engaged without being overbearing, and building trust through listening, relevance, and patience."If you don't know what you want, be clear about that. And second, even if it's in the short term, put together a plan to help you... move in that direction." —  Dan Lear Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

You ever leave a home thinking the sale was yours…Only to lose it?That was me.I remember one appointment where I came in after two other roofers.One ghosted them. The other showed up late.I thought, “Easy win!”So I gave a great experience. Explained their options. Answered every question.And walked out without a signed deal.Why?Because I didn't close.I overcompensated by being “nice”... and I lost the sale.If that hits home, you need to see this.Watch this video to learn how to close like a natural.Once you understand what really drives a buying decision, closing becomes simple.And you don't need tricks or pressure.Just the right words, in the right order, with the right tone.Put it to work on your next sale. You'll feel the difference, and so will your homeowner.This is the kind of stuff we work on every week inside the Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance.Where we sharpen our skills, share what works, and help each other win bigger with the ‘Alliance Advantage' - https://www.rsra.org/join/=============FREE TRAINING CENTERhttps://theroofstrategist.com/free-training-centerJOIN THE ROOFING & SOLAR REFORM ALLIANCE (RSRA)https://go.rsra.org/join-podcastGET MY BOOKhttps://a.co/d/7tsW3Lx GET A ROOFING SALES JOBhttps://secure.rsra.org/find-a-job CONTACTEmail: help@roofstrategist.comCall/Text: 303-222-7133FOLLOW ADAM BENSMANhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSVx5TWX-m2dl6yuUVF05Dwhttps://www.facebook.com/adam.bensman/   https://www.facebook.com/RoofStrategist/ https://www.instagram.com/roofstrategist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@roofstrategist https://www.linkedin.com/in/roofstrategist/#roofstrategist #roofsales #d2d  #solar #solarsales #roofing #roofer #canvassing #hail #wind #hurricane #sales #roofclaim #rsra #roofingandsolarreformalliance #reformers #adambensman

You KNOW you should give a call to action in every podcast episode. But every time you sit down to record, your brain short-circuits — should you tell them to follow the show? Join your list? Download the freebie? Book a call? Support your sponsor? Buy your thing? Say too much and you sound desperate. Say too little and you miss your chance to turn listeners into leads.In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason CTAs feel awkward, the difference between a call to engage and a call to action (yes, they're different), what to say instead of stacking five random asks at the end of your episode, and how to say exactly what listener needs to hear to take the next step. If you've ever felt unsure of what to offer, how to offer it, or afraid of pushing people away when you do — this is the missing link between your content and your conversions.Ready to give a podcast CTA that feels good and actually converts?

Talking about your prices doesn't have to feel awkward or salesy or like you're trying to convince someone of something. During this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to explain your cash based PT pricing in a way that feels clear and confident—without rambling, apologizing, or cringing. If you've ever frozen when someone asks, “How much does it cost?” or panicked that they'll think you're too expensive, you are not alone. I'll show you how to bring up pricing naturally, how to respond if someone hesitates, and how to lead the conversation in a way that actually makes sense for both of you. Because sales aren't about you—it's about helping the person in front of you.--Follow me on Instagram: @drmorganmeese | Join my Facebook Group: DPT to CEO | Ready to start your own cash based practice?

How To Own the Room, Build Trust, and Convert—With Just One Signature Story Whether you're hosting a webinar, guesting on a podcast, or stepping onto a live stage, your ability to sell starts with mastering the art of connection. In this episode, I sit down with Colin Boyd, international speaker and business mentor, for a high-impact conversation about how to sell from any stage without feeling pushy or performative.

Welcome back to the Good Girls Get Rich podcast. I'm your host, Karen Yankovich. Let's talk about the truth that no one is saying out loud: if you're not using LinkedIn DMs strategically, you are leaving opportunities — and let's be real, income — on the table. #GoodGirlsGetRich  We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com.   About The Episode and Highlights: In Episode 311 of the Good Girls Get Rich podcast, I'm taking you deep into the art and soul of messaging decision-makers on LinkedIn in a way that feels authentic, confident, and effective. If you've ever stared at someone's profile thinking "Wow, I'd love to work with her…" — and then totally froze, not knowing what to say — you're not alone. That hesitation? That fear of sounding like a spammy bot or a desperate sales pitch? We're tossing all of that out today. This isn't about cold-pitching. This is about relationship-building. It's about showing up in a way that positions you as a thought leader, not just another profile trying to “pick their brain.” It's about LinkedIn messaging that opens doors, lands speaking gigs, builds partnerships — and yes, secures those dreamy high-ticket contracts. So let's walk through the exact LinkedIn DM strategy I use (and teach in my She's LinkedUp programs) to create business magic through intentional connection.   Why LinkedIn DMs Are Your Hidden Goldmine You've probably heard me say this before, but it bears repeating: LinkedIn DMs are the most valuable piece of real estate in your entire online business. Yes, visibility is important. Your profile needs to shine. Public content and PR get you noticed. But money doesn't come from likes and views. It comes from conversations. Your DMs are where real decisions get made. When you stop viewing LinkedIn as just another social platform and start treating it like a curated networking event for powerhouse women — that's when everything shifts. But here's the catch: how you message matters. A lot. Because most people are doing it wrong.   What Makes a Great LinkedIn DM? Let's get something straight: no one — and I mean no one — wants to read a long-winded pitch from a stranger. And no one's jumping on a 30-minute call just because you dropped into their inbox saying you can help them scale to seven figures. So, what works? Keep It Personal and Purposeful Start with something real. Mention a podcast they were on, a post they made, or a mutual connection. Let them know this message is meant specifically for them — not a mass blast. Example:  “Hi Sarah, I just listened to your interview on the Good Girls Get Rich podcast. Your take on redefining success for women over 40 hit me hard — I've been having that same conversation with my own clients lately.” That's not just a message. That's a bridge. Explain Why You're Reaching Out — Briefly This isn't the time to outline your entire service suite. Just share why this feels like the right connection. Example:  “I work with women in transition who are looking to step into more visible leadership roles, and your work really aligns with that. I thought it might be worth connecting.” Boom. No pressure. Just purpose. End With an Easy Yes This is where most people fall flat. Instead of launching into a sales pitch, simply extend an invitation. A “let's chat” that feels low-pressure and high-vibe. Example:  “If this feels aligned, I'd love to hop on a 15-minute call and explore some ways we might collaborate.” Not only does that feel approachable — it's more likely to get a response. That's not a pitch. That's a possibility.   Voice Notes, Video Messages & What to Watch Out For Now, if you're feeling bold (and I know you are!), using voice or video messages can really help you stand out. There's something magical about letting people hear your energy and intention. But a word of caution: not everyone's in a place to watch or listen on the spot. And sometimes those messages sit unopened for days because people just don't have a minute to absorb them in the moment. So use these tools wisely. They're powerful — just make sure you're not making it harder for someone to respond.   Let's Talk Stats: Why This Works Here's what the data says — and you know I'm all about backing strategy with evidence. LinkedIn InMails (if you're not connected yet) have a response rate of 18–25%, which is more than double the 1–10% rate of cold emails. Short messages (under 400 characters) have a 22% higher response rate than longer ones. Messages referencing mutual connections, shared groups, or podcasts increase your chances of a response by up to 21%. And here's a bonus tip: Thursdays have the highest response rates for outreach on LinkedIn. So block off an hour every Thursday to make this your new revenue ritual!   Your Energy Speaks Before You Do And listen — none of this matters if you show up from a place of “pick me, pick me!” desperation. You're not begging. You're bringing value. You're not selling. You're inviting. The energy you lead with makes all the difference. If you don't feel 100% confident yet, that's okay. Borrow my confidence. Seriously. So many women in my community have said, “Karen, I heard your voice in my head while I was messaging — and I doubled my quote.” You have permission to channel your boldest self until she feels second nature.   Imperfect Action Beats Perfect Planning Don't sit on this. Don't overthink it. Don't wait until your profile is perfect or it's Thursday at 10am. Open LinkedIn. Pick one person you'd love to connect with. Send a short, genuine, purposeful message. That's how momentum starts. That's how conversations turn into contracts. That's how you stop being invisible and start being unforgettable.   Want Help Crafting the Perfect DM? This kind of outreach is just one piece of what we cover inside She's LinkedUp — my signature program designed to help women like you become the most powerful, profitable version of themselves online. We just revamped the entire program, and it's more aligned than ever with ease, visibility, and results. If you want support mapping out your own high-ticket strategy and crafting messages that feel like YOU… hop on a free call with my team. Let's build a business that brings you back into your brilliance — starting with a single message.   Magical Quotes From The Episode: “Your LinkedIn DMs are the most valuable real estate in your business. It's not just visibility — it's where the real money happens.” “Don't pitch. Invite. This isn't about convincing people — it's about creating conversations that matter.” “If you're not feeling confident yet, borrow mine. Show up with the energy of the wealthy woman you're becoming.” “Take imperfect action. Open LinkedIn right now, pick one person, and start the conversation. That's how momentum is built.”   Resources Mentioned In the Episode: Connect with me on LinkedIn: Karen Yankovich Follow me on Instagram: @karenyankovich Book a Clarity Call here.   Help Us Spread The Word!
