    How to Use Data (Yes, Math!) to Increase Your Sales Conversion Rate | Ep 26

    Your funnel might be getting people in the door… but is it actually helping you close the sale? 👀 In this episode of The DM Sales Gal, I’m talking all things sales conversion, high-ticket sales, lead generation, funnels, and case studies with Danielle Klem, a conversion rate optimization expert who helps businesses turn their funnels and launches into something that actually does the selling. We’re getting into the numbers, the data, AND the stuff your audience isn’t explicitly telling you — because your people are leaving clues everywhere. 👀 We talk about: Why more followers and email subscribers does NOT automatically mean more qualified leadsHow to know whether your funnel is actually convertingWhy you should plan your launches 6–8 weeks ahead instead of panic-launching two weeks beforeThe underrated data hiding inside heat maps, page recordings, FAQs, and average page session timeHow to use your sales event Q&A to create content that answers your buyers’ actual final questionsWhy your “quiet” audience might still be giving you tons of informationHow to create case studies that actually sell instead of posting another “OMG she’s amazing!” testimonial screenshotWhy your case studies need the before, during AND afterHow to use your clients’ exact language to improve your sales pages, emails, and contentWhy you should stop assuming every case study needs a giant revenue numberAnd how to turn your lead magnet into a sales-priming tool instead of just collecting another pile of email addressesPlus, Danielle shares some seriously good conversion-rate optimization tips that you can start using TODAY — including one thing you should install on your website immediately if you want to understand what people are actually doing on your pages. If you’re trying to make your sales conversion more predictable, improve your lead generation, or sell a high-ticket offer without throwing more content, more offers, and more random funnel pages at the wall… this episode is for you.

    Your Testimonials are Mid: THESE Case Studies Get You More Clients | Ep 25

    💸 Ready for $36k days straight from your Instagram DM's?  Hate to tell you but, your testimonials aren’t enough.  Today, I’m talking with client experience systems strategist Colie James about how to turn your client results into actual case studies that help you close more sales, get more clients, and make your marketing do more of the heavy lifting. And yes, we talk about the juicy numbers. But we also talk about the context behind them — because “my client made $30K” means absolutely nothing if you leave out the fact that she already had leads, a $6K offer, a launch strategy, and a massive audience. Context matters. In this episode, we’re talking about: Why a client testimonial is NOT the same thing as a case studyThe storytelling arc you need to turn client results into compelling proofWhy you should be collecting case study information during the client journey — not just at the endHow “in progress” case studies can actually be some of your best marketingThe specific data you should be collecting from your clientsWhy you need to know exactly what your offer is supposed to do BEFORE you know what data to collectHow to uncover unexpected results your clients are gettingWhy confidence, time saved, pricing increases, referrals, and retention can be just as valuable as revenue numbersHow to use case studies in your DM sales and sales callsWhy your prospects need to see someone like THEM in your case studiesHow identity-led case studies help potential clients see themselves getting the resultWhy context is everything when you're using client revenue as proofHow better client experience systems can create better proof, better referrals, and more repeat businessAnd how Colie is building a tool called Proof to help you actually organize and find all of this client data when you need itFollow Colie James: 👉Follow her on Instagram: @coliejames 👉Check our her tools and services This podcast was produced by Your Girl Media.  Follow on Instagram: @yourgirlmedia Want to be pulled into my world?  👉 Come hang with me on Instagram: @alyssalmoorhead  💸 Curious for more?

    6 MAJOR Sales Mistakes Keeping You From Closing More Sales in the DM's | Ep 23

    👉 Sign Up For My FREE Lead Tracker   I'm breaking down 6  sales f**k-ups that could be keeping you from closing 1–2+ high-ticket sales every single week — especially if you're relying on Instagram DMs for lead generation. And yes, I'm calling out some of the absolute nonsense I keep seeing online about what actually makes sales. We're talking about what really matters when you want to get more clients, close more sales, and make your DMs actually convert. In this episode, we're getting into: Why you need to know your conversion rates before you can predict your salesThe difference between cold-to-warm, warm-to-hot, and hot-to-close conversion ratesWhy your Instagram DMs are NOT a lead trackerExactly what you should be tracking in your lead trackerWhy mass-blasting your webinar, freebie, or event to everyone is not DM lead generationHow to actually follow up with people instead of talking at themWhy you're probably selling way too lateHow far in advance you should actually be talking to potential buyersWhy more RSVPs, followers, likes, and comments do NOT automatically mean more salesWhy your sales event should not be doing all the selling for youHow to turn questions from your DMs and sales events into content that helps you close more salesWhy clients with hundreds of followers can make more sales than people with thousands of followersThe sales numbers that actually matter — and the vanity metrics you can stop obsessing overAnd here's the big takeaway: Talking to people matters. Your follower count doesn't close the sale. Your likes don't close the sale. Your Threads comments don't close the sale. Your ability to identify the right leads, start conversations, follow up, understand where they are in the buying process, and actually track your numbers? THAT is what matters. I also share how one of our clients with under 300 followers generated $30K with us in her first five weeks, while people with 15,000 followers can still struggle to create consistent months. So if you're ready to stop obsessing over vanity metrics and start getting serious about high-ticket sales and DM lead generation, this one's for you.

    My Group Program Launch Formula That Generated $65K on Instagram | Ep 22

    What if you could make $65K from 35 sales across just THREE group program launches? That’s exactly what we did for three of our done-for-you DM sales clients — and I’m giving you the actual formula we used to make it happen. And spoiler alert: it’s not about having a massive audience, launching every month, or making your offer cheaper. It’s about having the right offer, the right leads, and a sales system that actually follows up with the people already raising their hands. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how we generated nearly $65,000 across three group program launches, including one client who made $30K from just FIVE sales. We’re talking DM lead generation, Instagram lead generation, group coaching sales, high-ticket sales coaching, and how to close more sales without making your entire business revolve around sales calls. Here’s what we’re getting into: The exact numbers behind three group program launches that generated nearly $65KWhy I actually think higher-ticket offers can be EASIER to sell than mid-ticket offersThe biggest mistake I see group program owners make before a launch: starting their sales process way too lateThe simple Instagram form field you should be adding to EVERY opt-inWhy your email list and Instagram should work together instead of operating as two completely separate audiencesHow to turn email leads into hot Instagram DM leadsWhy you absolutely need a lead tracker if you're serious about DM lead generationThe six-step sales system we use to move leads from opt-in → sales event → DM conversation → saleHow we use Instagram Stories, carousels, Reels, and Threads to create demand during a launchHow we use DMs to personally invite people to a sales event and get them to actually show upHow to turn questions from your webinar, sales calls, and DMs into sales contentWhy case studies are one of your best tools for closing salesWhen you DON'T need sales calls to sell a group programWhat separates our “level 10” clients from everyone elseWhy having an in-demand offer and strong positioning makes the sales process so much easierHow to know if you're actually ready to scale your Instagram lead generation and DM salesThe six-step formula: Get their Instagram. Add an Instagram field to your opt-ins.Track the leads. Put their email + Instagram into a lead tracker.Create high-quality content. Stories, carousels, Reels, Threads — actually use the damn platforms you're on.DM your leads. Invite them to your sales event and ask why they joined, what they're excited about, and what questions they have.Turn their questions into content. Your audience is literally telling you what they need to hear.Close the sale. Close in the DMs when you can, or book a sales call when you actually need one.Simple? Yes. Easy? Not necessarily. That's why people hire us. And the biggest thing I want you to take away from this episode is that you don't necessarily need more leads. You might just need a better system for the leads you already have. If you've already got an in-demand offer, an audience, leads coming in, and a sales event — the missing piece might be the DM sales strategy that turns those warm leads into actual buyers. Want more? Get on my email list for behind-the-scenes details from the podcast, weekly-ish sales content, and even more of the shit I'm testing with our clients. And if you're listening to this because you're ready to close more sales through Instagram, come find me in the DMs and tell me you listened to this episode. 👀 I’ll see you there. 🎬 Want to Make Your Offer Stranger Ready?

    How to Hire Your Next Virtual Assistant: 3 MAJOR Mistakes Founders Make | Ep 21

    👉 Sign Up For My FREE Lead Tracker   If you’ve ever hired a VA and somehow ended up with MORE work, more management, and more shit on your plate… this episode is for you. Because sometimes the problem isn’t that your VA “didn’t work out.” Sometimes you hired the wrong person for the role, didn’t know what you actually needed, or tried to hand an executive-level job to someone you were paying $400 a month. And yeah… we’re gonna talk about it. Hey, sales friends! Welcome back to the DM Sales Gal Podcast. Today I’m talking with my client and Denver neighbor, Dawnisha Taylor, founder of OnPoint, an executive virtual assistant agency that matches founders, executives, and consultants with US-based executive VAs. And I LOVE this conversation because I’ve hired a LOT of people over the years. In fact, this year alone, I’ve hired more people than I probably did in the first several years of my business combined. So I have some opinions about hiring, delegation, operations, and what happens when you finally stop trying to do everything yourself. We’re breaking down the biggest mistakes founders make when hiring a virtual assistant — and, more importantly, how to do it better. In this episode, we talk about: The biggest mistake founders make BEFORE hiring a VAHow to figure out what you actually need to delegateThe simple seven-day exercise Donisha recommends to identify what should come off your plateWhy you shouldn’t hire someone just because you’re overwhelmedThe difference between a general VA and an executive virtual assistantWhy hiring based on the lowest price can cost you WAY more in the long runHow to calculate the actual ROI of hiring operations supportWhy your time as a founder has a dollar valueThe importance of SOPs when you’re building a teamWhy you don’t need perfect systems before hiring an operations personThe difference between hiring a task-taker and hiring an actual strategic partnerWhy founders need to take accountability for their part in a bad hiring experienceWhen you should hire specifically for marketing, social media, lead generation, or other specialized rolesHow to build a team that can actually think, make decisions, and operate without constantly coming back to youWhy the goal of hiring isn’t just to get things off your plate — it’s to give yourself back the time to actually be the CEOConnect with Dawnisha: Follow her on Instagram: @therealvaconnectCheck out her website Start Your VA Match Call This podcast was produced by Your Girl Media.  Follow on Instagram: @yourgirlmedia Want to be pulled into my world?  👉 Come hang with me on Instagram: @alyssalmoorhead  💸 Curious for more?

    Why You're Capped at 5 Clients (And Why More Leads Isn't the Answer to Scaling) | Ep 19

    👉 Sign Up For My FREE Lead Tracker If you’re a small business owner or service provider who feels like you’re working your ass off, constantly booked out, and STILL somehow watching your revenue tank every 30–60 days… this episode is for you. Because there’s a very real point in business where more clients stop being the answer. You’re at capacity. You don’t have the cash flow to hire. You get busy delivering, your lead pipeline dries up, then you panic-market, get booked out again, and the whole damn cycle starts over. Emylee Williams calls this “ceiling season” — and in this episode, we’re getting into how to break out of it without completely burning your business to the ground. Emylee is a growth strategist for one-on-one service providers and the founder of Sold Out Services. She has spent 15+ years in the online business space helping service providers make more money, create more impact, and actually build businesses that are sustainable. And today, we’re getting VERY nerdy about productizing your service, scaling your business, avoiding business burnout, creating better case studies, and building a business that can grow without everything depending on you. In this episode, we’re talking about: What “ceiling season” looks like for a service provider — and why you might be stuck in the cycle of being booked out → delivering → losing leads → panic marketing → getting booked out againWhat it actually means to productize your offer and why it goes way beyond simply creating systems and SOPsWhy productization can be your first hire before you ever bring someone onto your teamHow to redesign your offer, positioning, client experience, delivery, team structure, and founder roleWhy adding more clients isn't always the solution to increasing revenueThe connection between an undefined offer and business burnoutWhy service providers can start resenting their clients when boundaries, scope, and expectations aren't clearWhy creating a course, membership, or low-ticket offer isn't automatically the answer when you're burned outThe “one-to-medium” business model and the middle ground between bespoke one-on-one services and one-to-manyHow Emylee went from replacing a six-figure salary with five clients to building a more scalable service-based businessWhy you should stop changing your offer every five seconds and start making decisions based on dataHow to beta test a new service before rolling it out to your entire client baseWhy case studies are one of the most powerful tools for converting cold audiencesThe difference between quantitative and qualitative case study dataHow to actually measure the results your clients are gettingWhy screenshots, client language, feedback, and real data can dramatically speed up the trust-building processHow to build a marketing strategy around your signature offer without trying to be everywhereWhat Emylee teaches inside Sold Out Services to help service providers productize and scalePeople Mentioned Taylor Elizabeth Lane — Mentioned in the conversation around using real screenshots and client proof to build stronger case studies and increase trust with your audience. @taylor.elizabethlane on Instagram Lauren Selwood — Mentioned as a resource for carousel design and content support when you know what you want to say but need help turning the idea into a polished marketing asset. @laurendoesmktg on Instagram 👉 Connect with Emylee: Want to nerd out with Emylee about service-based businesses, productization, and scaling your offer?
