    enMay 11, 2021

    About this Episode

    There’s one common mistake I see so many entrepreneurs make in their messaging that keeps them from truly scaling their business - and that mistake is explaining when they should be persuading.

     

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference that persuasion versus explanation can make in your business, how to spot the difference in your own messaging, and how to pivot to persuasion in order to consistently grow your business. If you're ready to learn how to take your messaging to the next level and increase your impact, this episode is for you!

    Part 4: Sales - The Most Powerful Communication Elements

    I have a secret – growing up, I hated sales. So when I had to go door to door for one of my first businesses, it felt full-body painful – even though I KNEW my offer created huge wins! But now?

    Having a Unique Product Doesn’t Mean Sales But This Does

    Having a Unique Product Doesn’t Mean Sales But This Does

    Having a unique (breakthrough) product does NOT equal sales. And yet, I hear it all the time from marketing gurus, “You have to be unique in order to stand out.” While your uniqueness might help you gain attention, attention doesn’t necessarily mean sales. I’ve had many students come to me with thousands of followers and zero sales and this might be something you've experienced as well.

     

    Instead of focusing on your product and being “unique”, try the communication techniques I’m sharing in this episode of the podcast. Listen in and learn why you may have a unique product that isn’t selling well, how to stop the scroll and get sales, what’s necessary to understand about your audience for higher conversions, and the three communication tools I use to create engaging messaging. I don’t just list the tools in this episode, I give detailed stories and examples so you can implement these steps in your own business ASAP. Start your journey of creating your own unique communication with these tools today!
