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! If you've been around these emails for a bit, you know I'm a book nerd. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, I've got a book in my hand. And that love started way back in grade school with a sci-fi series I could never quite remember. All I had were fragments. A boy gets a robot brother who looks just like him. They charge him up through a port in his belly button. Something happens at a swimming pool. That's it. That's all my brain held onto for forty-some years....
Howdy Reader! Quick question: how much of your story are you handing over to AI? This Friday, we're sitting down with Zac Brown, host of The Zac Brown Show. Zac just got back from his first Social Media Marketing World, AND he's writing a book called An Accidental Education. His whole approach is built around helping creators see their work as more than content. It's a world. It's an experience. It's a connection. We'll break down... → What he took away from his first SMMW as a creator → The...
Howdy Reader! If you caught my last email, you know I was supposed to be in Anaheim this week, soaking up Social Media Marketing World and taking the stage to talk about creating visuals with AI. Spoiler alert: I'm not in Anaheim. My back had other plans. Since I was already planning to skip the live show this Friday (because, you know, Disneyland), I made the call not to scramble for a last-minute guest and push through. Sometimes the smart move is to actually rest. Wild concept for me, I...
