Unless you started a sales agency, chances are, when you became an entrepreneur you didn’t think of yourself as getting into “sales”. The truth is, though, your #1 role as an entrepreneur is to SELL! Whatever your product or service, selling it is an integral part of your business. In order to bring in money, you have to sell.
Why, though, is it SO difficult, to ask people for money?
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, your income seems to be stuck at a certain level? And if, on the rare occasion you do break through and make a little more, then next month your income comes right back down again?
If that sounds like something you’re experiencing, you’re certainly not alone.
I’m super excited about this week’s video!!!
I had the opportunity to interview my client Lori Steeves and we talked all things decorating and design.
And it’s not what you think, we took it deep.
There are a lot of parallels between creating a beautiful space and creating the life and business you really want.
We’ve all been there…..we have a perfect call, with the perfect candidate, you have the solution to their perfect problem – you make the offer and then….
If you don’t know how to overcome this objection, you are leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.
As you may or may not know I recently moved into my dream Equestrian Estate. And on October 23, I brought the horses home! It was an amazing manifestation of one of my biggest dreams to date. And in a recent YouTube video, I shared with you the day that dream came true. [Click here to see it happen] The last few weeks with them here have been an adjustment for sure as I get used to living with a herd of horses.
But the other day… my own horse Chip got loose.
In 2018 I made one of my biggest dreams come true and that was moving onto an acreage that I could bring my horses here to live with me. For a long time I thought this dream was way bigger than me, and I had NO idea how I was going to make it happen.
And even one short year ago today, this dream still seemed so far off…..I was still talking about it without a clue as to how and when it would manifest. It just seemed so impossible.
I’ve been sharing a lot lately about the quantum leaps my clients have been making in their income, and usually what goes with that is “HOW DID THEY DO IT?”…. To make it happen, there’s a whole lot of internal work, learning and applying the Laws of Success, and of course practical action steps involved.
One of those steps is mastering sales. Sales is the ONLY thing that will move money. And talking to a prospect and making an offer is probably the fastest and most effective way to create income. Yet so many entrepreneurs resist it.
Not because they don’t want to create income. They just dread selling.
Cash flow hiccups happen to all of us. And it can happen for any reason. Perhaps your business is seasonal, a client flaked out on you, or maybe you need suddenly need something for your business and you need to find the cash to get it. Then, the panic sets in…. what will you do? How will you fulfill YOUR commitments?
The choice of whether to be “safe” or to go after opportunity and what we truly desire is one that we must make throughout our lives.
And if we’re choosing to go for what we want, we are leaving safety behind, accepting risk and going against what most people think is practical.
When I look back on my journey to what got me here…..it’s always the risk that propelled me forward, and safety that held me back.
Is there something you want to be, do, or have and making it happen, bringing it into your life requires action that feels a bit risky or scary because the outcome isn’t assured?
I’ve been there on just about every single one of these examples and more.
It’s so so so scary.
But you don’t feel ready for what it takes to get “the thing”.
