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! No Creator News Live last week. I was at Disneyland, getting the best arm workout of my adult life. This trip was supposed to happen back in March. Social Media Marketing World was in Anaheim, right next door to the parks, and I was speaking there. The plan was simple: give a talk, then go see THE mouse. Then my back went out, and the only ride I took that week was from the couch to the heating pad. So I moved the tickets and the hotel to line up with Lou Mongello's Haunts and...
Howdy Reader! Johnny Carson kept an arrow on a table behind his desk. It was a prop from a 1964 sketch that bombed. He kept it there so he'd never forget he could fall on his face on any night, and his writers wrote backup jokes, called "savers," for when the first ones died. That's how the most-watched man in late night stayed on top for nearly 30 years. He planned for the flop. Today, on what would have been Johnny's 101st birthday, we're sitting down with Mark Malkoff. Mark hosted The...
Howdy Reader! Quick heads-up: there's no Creator News Live today. I'm at Momentum this week. But on the drive here, I had an idea I can't stop thinking about, and I really want to know what you think. One of my favorite parts of what I do is helping someone make something they didn't think they could make. A show. A video. A system that makes their business easier to run. That moment when "I could never do that" turns into "Wait, I made this?" I want to create more of those moments. And I...
