If you want to be an entrepreneur, you are going to have to do SALES!
This episode for those of you that struggle with sales and selling, especially when it involves putting yourself out there and possibly being rejected.
Sales and selling is a topic that is rarely discussed in the online world, at least not in the way I am addressing it today.
Most of the talk is about passive income and selling through ads and webinars and more passive means, but most successful entrepreneurs fill their courses, group programs and sell their products based on personal selling and using the connections they already have.
I have four approachable topics relating to selling I cover in this episode:
- Understanding your sales mindset.
- Creating brand awareness in your personal network.
- Personally selling your product or service.
- Designing a simple system to follow up.
