I take new entrepreneurs (at least 6 months’ experience) from fear of selling to having the impact you desire in your business.
Sales Focus Framework
My Sales Focus Framework:
✅️ Eases your fear of rejection,
✅️ Relieves you from fretting about bothering people,
✅️ Frees you from small talk,
✅️ Directs your attention to the social cues that matter,
✅️ Makes your desire for perfection work for you.
This framework helps you sell in a way that feels right to you, for the impact you want to have.
You have thought long enough about what you want to do. You don’t need to know more to take action.
It’s time to move from thinking about your ideas to putting them on the market. If you have good ideas and no sales, that means you are a person with good ideas. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you need a sales system that makes you confident you can reach the right people with the right offer. A predictable sales system is important to everything you do in your business, now and in the future.
Selling is a skill, which means it can be learned, even by you, who fears it with every ounce of your being. Selling begins before an offer is made. It begins with knowing who you are, what you do, for whom you do it and who/what you need to help you do it. Otherwise, you will make up stories that waste years of your business life. These stories will justify an elaborate ritual of people pleasing, in which you give away your products and services indefinitely, with no real strategy in mind.
If you are choosing business for a better life for yourself and your family, selling is where this choice will be tested in real-time. With the right tools, you can pass these tests. With a Sales Focus Framework, you can pass these tests.
