Why Selling Your Own Stuff is SO Hard (And How to Fix It)
|
Howdy Reader! Selling stinks. When I worked for other people, I had no problem selling our services. I love recommending great products and services from brands and influencers that I know, like, and trust. So why is it so hard to actually sell our OWN products and services? Listen, I’ve heard all the sales tropes like, “you sell the sizzle, not the steak.” Or, “go after the low-hanging fruit.” And even “this is a win-win situation for both of us!” Now, if I had a tree with low-hanging sizzling steaks, THAT would be a win-win. I’d never leave the yard! Seriously though, selling is hard and not something that comes naturally to a lot of people. That’s why I’m really excited to shine the spotlight on selling on today’s show. I was blown away when I saw Conor Brown speak on the art of selling at Momentum this past year. (Don’t tell him that; I’d never hear the end of it.) He helped everyone who listened become more confident in selling their products and services, and I know he can help you, too. So join us today at 10 am central and ask your questions on selling that you’ve always been afraid to ask. See ya there, -Jeff Are you looking for powerful features without sticker shock?

Howdy Reader! There is a profile on the internet with your name on it that you've not edited in about three years. Other people are looking at it. Two things changed on LinkedIn this year. The feed stopped running on your own network, and only about a third of what people see now comes from their own connections, so your posts land in front of strangers. At the same time, AI assistants started reading LinkedIn to answer questions like "who should I hire for this?" So now we know both new...
Howdy Reader! Mike Allton is one of my BBFs (which stands for Before Beard Friend). I've known him since the Google Plus days, which, in internet years, was right after AOL stopped sending you floppy discs. So when he asked me to join his new podcast, The AI Social Playbook, I said yes before he finished the sentence. He had me walk through the animated open for The Makers Table, my Friday craft show with Katie Fawkes. Claymation-style, twelve scenes, two characters who still look like the...
Howdy Reader! Eighteen Disney Legends. Twenty years of conversations. And almost none of them used the word magic. They said curious. They said story. They said detail. They said we tried it, it did not work, and we tried something else. Today, we're sitting down with Lou Mongello, host and creator of WDW Radio and a Podcast Hall of Fame inductee, who has been sitting across the table from the people who actually built Disney since 2005. Imagineers, composers, animators, and the executives...
