In this episode, we dive into sales strategies from the buyer’s POV because this is often when the biggest “ahas!” are unlocked. 
 
Have you ever felt like you bought something and then what was delivered was very different from what was sold? 
 
We probably all have encountered one of these sales “burns” that are so prevalent in mainstream sales.
 
These “burns” result in higher refunds, damaged reputation and lower sales overall - it’s a very short sighted strategy.
 
For that reason, it’s crucial to be as transparent as possible about what your buyer is buying - and as a result, you will have a lot more people buying from you!
 
Tune in to discover how to: 
Win more sales through clarity and honesty
Define your anti-audience - and become more magnetic to your ideal audience
Understand the top 3 reasons why people get burned - so you can avoid them!

Ever heard that it’s not WHAT you say - it’s HOW you say it that matters? It’s true. I would not be surprised if there were murders every year based on tone alone. 
 
Some sales experts will tell you to focus on tone - which can be incredibly distracting and difficult to stay present. 
 
Instead, focus on the energy and intention you’re bringing to the conversation and your tone will naturally follow - while allowing you to stay present! 
 
Tune in to discover:
The dangers of faking tone, personality, etc. in a sales conversation - and what to do instead 
How to effectively use the tone of your voice to move more sales forward 
The benefits and steps for objection prevention vs. objection defense

Ever feel like you're your own worst enemy? Like you’re driving with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake? 
 
This is a far too common experience for humans and I sat down with Tracy Pleschourt, the mastermind behind transformative life coaching school “Self Made You” to explore why. 
 
And more importantly - how to break that cycle! 
 
She dives deep into her SELF framework that has changed dozens, if not hundreds, of lives. It starts by defining what we want, eliminating fear-based thoughts, leveraging our strengths, and making continuous progress. 
 
We even use a pickle of a situation I found myself in to walk through the framework live. 
 
Remember, personal growth is like riding a carousel—no finish line, just continuous, small steps forward.
 
Tune in to discover:
How to recognize and address fear-based narratives that impact your decisions and create results you don’t want.
The power of empathy for yourself and others in making better choices that create the result you want.
Practical advice on using the SELF framework to overcome self-sabotage and leverage your strengths to create the reality you want.
Why continuous learning and intentional decision-making are key to a fulfilling life.
