Whether you’re a fan or not, there’s no denying her ability to grab attention, connect with people, and create buzz that lasts. In this episode, I’m breaking down how her latest album launch strategy—with the New Heights podcast and Travis Kelce’s GQ cover—holds powerful lessons for your small business. “Marketing isn’t about shouting the loudest, it’s about being intentional with where you show up, who you partner with, and how you connect your message to real people.” Inside this episode, you’ll learn: Why timing matters and how to plan your launches when your audience is already paying attention How to borrow other people’s audiences through collaborations, partnerships, and local opportunities Why storytelling is your most powerful tool to connect and stay memorable How layered marketing (showing up in more than one place) keeps your business top of mind Why talking about your product or service once isn’t enough—and what to do instead “Your audience connects with YOUR story. Not someone else’s. People love stories and they are so much more memorable than just giving information.” If you are wondering how to get more eyes on your small business, this episode will give you actionable ways to market smarter.    Share this episode with a fellow business owner who needs some fresh marketing inspiration.

    77. 3 questions to ask if your offer is not selling | sales for small business

    Check out my new course Sales Simplified: 7 Weeks to Selling with Confidence ------------------------- Welcome back to Grow My Business, where we talk about how to grow your business with real sales strategies (not just more social media posts). This is Episode 77, and we’re tackling a question I hear all the time: “Why isn’t my offer selling?” You’ve posted about it. You’ve talked about it. You’ve put it on your website. You might’ve even run some ads or tried a launch… And still—crickets. No sales. No traction. Just silence. I know how frustrating that can feel. Today, I want to take the mystery out of it. More often than not, it’s not that your offer is “bad” or that no one wants it—it’s just that something small is out of alignment. Listen for these 3 common check points to see if one of these is out of whack: 1. Are you solving a real problem? 2. Is your messaging clear and confident? 3. Are you actually sell it? (Not just marketing it.)   If you’re nodding along and thinking, “OK, this is me,”—don’t worry. This is fixable. In fact, this is exactly what I teach inside my course: Sales Simplified: 7 Weeks to Selling with Confidence Inside, I walk you through: Clarifying your offer Communicating it clearly Learning how to talk about it (without feeling awkward) And building a simple, repeatable system to sell it If you’re ready to finally feel confident in your sales process, go to https://sales.lindsayfletcher.co - You’ll get instant access to everything—and you’ll start making progress on day one!
