Sales is NOT a Dirty Word

Are you tired of the same old spiritual advice? Stay positive, affirmations reprogram your mind, live at the frequency of the things you want to attract. 
It’s a lot of pressure to always feel good - or else suffer the consequences. 
This episode’s guest - Rebecca Quave debunks some myths about integrating spirituality into everyday life in order to create the incredible results you want.  
Myth 1: You have to be positive all the time to be spiritually awakened. 
Myth 2: Overcoming anxiety and depression requires distracting yourself from negative feelings. 
Myth 3: The ego must be destroyed for spiritual growth.
Get ready for a very different take on how to manifest, tap into your intuition, and energetically create all the things you want in your life. 
Listen in to discover:
What your mind wants and needs to settle down and provide you peace
The harmful consequences of toxic positivity and how to avoid them 
How to navigate negative feelings and situations without judgment or pressure to “stop having them” - which ironically allows you to move past them faster

Powerful exercises that feel like a cozy weighted blanket for your soul

The mainstream way of handling objections is wildly ineffective. 
 
It’s convincing energy and it’s not convincing anyone. 
 
Instead, it ends up making the prospect feel dismissed and invalidated instead of seen and heard. 
 
It’s important to understand that objections are NOT something personal. 
 
Objections are concerns and what do you do when someone you care about has a concern? You explore it with them.
 
This approach is extremely powerful in a sales conversation. 
 
If you're ready to ditch the old, pushy sales tactics and embrace genuine, curiosity-driven conversations leading to long-term client relationships, then this is for you. 
 
Because only good sh*t happens when you approach objections with curiosity, not coercion. 
Are you in? 
 
Listen to discover:
Understanding the emotions around objections and how to manage them for success
The completely natural fears prospects experience before investment and how to address them in a collaborative way
The approach to objections that not only wipes out the need for pushing but also steers the conversation toward a place of relief and trust.
Finding the ROOT of the resistance for more effective conversations
Approaching objections as an opportunity to also understand if a client is a good fit for YOU (no nightmare clients policy!)

In the latest trend of business owners avoiding doing sales themselves or hiring salespeople - there has been a new movement towards AI “doing the sales for you.” 
It’s an interesting concept and one that Noah Jacobs is an expert on as he’s interviewed 100+ companies on what results look like using AI instead of humans. 
The results are…what you may or may not expect. 
AI has a place in a more effective and efficient sales process - but that place is not in the actual sales conversation but beforehand.

Does it feel like your sales conversations are simply falling flat? 
You feel like you’re saying all the right things but you’re not seeing your prospect’s face light up with the telltale sign of clarity and excitement (both required to sign up with you). 
The issue a lot of times is you’re not using language and wording, specific to your client’s experience, so they can truly connect the dots of what you’re saying and how it benefits them.
Similar to using too many buzzwords, if you’re talking over someone’s head they’re not going to buy what you’re selling because they don’t understand it. 
And a confused mind says no. 
Listen in to discover how to:
Assess a client’s psychographics to create better connections, higher-impact conversations and sales 
Use metaphors effectively in sales to paint vivid pictures and captivate your audience's attention.
Transform a skeptical prospect into a loyal client without pressure or tricks 
Essentially, You will see a lot more sales when you’re able to assess your client’s experience and provide language and wording that resonates.

You’ve definitely heard all about how you need to niche down and the “riches are in the niches” - which is true.

When you’re equally clear about who is not a fit and who is a fit - you’ll see a decrease of unqualified prospects and an increase in ideal client calls, revenue and time in your day.

The powerful way to increase your ideal client’s attraction to you 
How to identify who is NOT a fit to work with you (beyond money and “not coachable” criteria)
