    329: 3 Things You Must Know Before You Take a Business Loan

    You hit six figures. The orders are coming in. And yet, somehow you still can't pay yourself. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Chantal, founder of Oh Color Me,  a fast-growing coloring book business that doubled its first-year revenue, and she's pulling back the curtain on the cash flow problem nobody talks about when your business takes off.  Listen in and learn: Why six figures in sales doesn't mean six figures in your pocket. Why you can't grow your way out of a profit  problem (but what you can do instead) Why an operating line of credit is the wrong tool for inventory growth We're walking through her exact numbers, her pricing, and the changes she needs to make before she borrows a single dollar. This is a real strategy conversation, and it's the one I wish someone had with me 25 years ago.    RELATED LINKS: Chantal's mini coloring books are available at ohcolorme.com, on Amazon in Canada, and through retailers found via the site's store locator.

    328: How a Handmade Business Owner planned for her best sales ever

    If you've ever felt like you're working yourself into the ground and still going backwards, this episode is going to hit home. Andrea York runs Catch the Fire Worship Flags — a completely handmade, hyper-niche business — and just one year ago she was having her lowest revenue quarter ever, emotionally done, and seriously questioning her life choices. By the end of that same year, she had her highest revenue quarter ever, outsourced manufacturing, and moved to a 3PL… all things she thought were impossible. Listen in and learn: How to stop flying blind and get brutally honest about your numbers The difference between a strategic plan and a to-do list (hint – only one of them will move the needle) Why outside feedback was key to getting the clarity she needed to move onward and upward In the end, Andrea had built a business that's easy to run, or…if she chooses, easy to sell.   RELATED LINKS: Get on the Inner Circle waitlist here: https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/inner-circle-membership From stressed to confident.

    324: How to Sell Your Art Online: What One Botanical Artist Did to Grow 521%

    What if you woke up one morning, checked your stats, and realized your sales were up 521%...without running a single ad?  That's exactly what happened to Wendy Mitchell, a botanical artist who went from relying on festival sales to pay her bills, to building real online sales from her studio in Colorado. Today she's walking us through exactly what she did — and trust me, you can do this too. Here's what you can do to start now: 💌 Send more email…way more than you think you should. If you're only emailing once a month, your list forgets you exist. More emails = more people back to your store = more sales. 🚀 Launch your collection like an event, not an afterthought. Build a runway for your launch, create urgency, and make your buyers feel like VIPs. 👯‍♀️ Find your best-selling product and double down on it. Stop spreading yourself thin and put your energy behind what's already working. If the art fair grind has got you second-guessing whether you're even cut out for business, you can't afford to miss this one.

    323: Why you're not getting Sales - it's NOT your Conversion Rate

    "What's wrong with my website?" If we had a nickel for every time we heard this question… And it's heartbreaking, because even without seeing your website I can tell you, that's not the reason folks aren't buying.

Listen in and learn: Whether or not your conversion rate is normal (for your niche) Why your "viral moment" felt like a flop The REAL numbers you should be focusing on How to use paid ads to complement, not compensate for, your marketing Stop tweaking your button colors and asking strangers for feedback, this episode is guaranteed to get you back on track fast.   RELATED LINKS Do you have the right traffic?

    322: Tired of Starting from Zero Every Month? This free Training will change that.

    Running a business can feel a bit like Groundhog Day. On the first of every month you find yourself staring at your sales goal as if it's looming over you from the top of a very, very steep hill. AGAIN. But what if 75% of your revenue hit your bank account…before a single bill came due? That's what's possible when you build a subscription model. My friend Sarah Williams has been selling physical products for years, and for almost 10 of them she's started every month knowing her subscription income will cover all of her expenses. Listen up, because you can do this too (and it doesn't matter whether you have a bricks and mortar shop, an e-commerce store, or both). Sarah's new FREE training will show you how.   RELATED LINKS: Register for the FREE Launch Your Box Summit here: https://www.launchyourboxwithsarah.com/launch-your-box-summit-register The Secret to growing a business you love with Sarah Williams https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/blog/the-secret-to-growing-a-business-you-love-with-sarah-williams-episode-96 What happens in a Coaching Week with Sub Box Queen, Sarah Williams? https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/blog/what-happens-in-a-coaching-week-with-sub-box-queen-sarah-williams-episode-25 The email strategy behind Sarah's 7 figure business https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/blog/the-email-strategy-behind-sarahs-7-figure-business-episode-14 -------------------------------------- Stop wondering if you're "doing it right" and learn how to grow your sales in a consistent, predictable way.
