    Ep 324: 5 Reasons Your Customers Aren't Buying From You - and It's NOT Your Product (with Andee Hart)

    In this episode, Gillian Perkins talks with sales expert and entrepreneur Andee Hart about the real reasons customers aren’t buying—and why it’s usually not your product that’s the problem. Andee shares insights from her 17-year career in corporate sales and her experience building a product-based business, breaking down the most common (and overlooked) mistakes that prevent sales—from unclear messaging to friction in the buying process. As you listen, you’ll learn how to improve your conversions without reinventing your offer—by refining how you present, sell, and deliver your product so it becomes an easy “yes” for your ideal customer.

    In this episode, Gillian Perkins talks with watercolor artist Dianuh Aerin about how she turned a creative side hustle into a high-end, in-demand business serving major brands and celebrity events.

    In this episode, I share how I built a successful membership site, attracting 300 members and generating $10,000 in monthly revenue within a week of launch. I debunk the myth that a large audience is necessary, focusing instead on starting with a manageable launch list and delivering just enough content to engage members. I also discuss effective content management strategies that prevent burnout and ensure meaningful interactions.

    Ep 318: Why the Marketing Course I Bought Didn't Help Me (w/ Rebecca Tracey of The Uncaged Life)

    In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Tracey, founder of The Uncaged Life, to discuss the common pitfall of purchasing online courses that fail to meet expectations. We uncover the shared frustration among entrepreneurs regarding wasted investments and emphasize the importance of making informed decisions in course selection. Key Takeaways: Course Evaluation: Review past courses to understand why they fell short, focusing on issues like unclear messaging and misalignment with your business stage. Importance of Clarity: Establishing a clear niche and message can significantly enhance the application of strategies learned from courses. Setting Realistic Expectations: Entering courses should be coupled with an understanding that foundational work precedes results; courses won't be a magic fix. Building a Strong Foundation: Prioritize creating a solid business model before moving on to advanced strategies or tactical courses. Peer Insights: Leverage feedback from your network to clarify your business message, which can inform more strategic course investments. Throughout the episode, Rebecca and I stress the significance of distinguishing between appealing marketing and practical solutions. Listeners are encouraged to identify their genuine needs rather than getting sidetracked by flashy promises. With additional resources for beginners and a strong emphasis on community feedback, this episode is a valuable guide for entrepreneurs looking to enhance their decision-making in professional development. Tune in for actionable insights that will help you navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship with clarity and confidence!
