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! I sat down last week and added up how much of my time goes to work I never wanted to be doing, the inbox, the scheduling, the follow-up, the repurposing. It was a lot. Our guest this week has spent her whole career making that stack disappear. This Friday, we're sitting down with Jennifer Bennett, the founder of Get Desky and a Fractional Chief AI Officer who has run the systems behind 1.2 million leads a month. Now she helps founders hand the backend busywork to AI and AI...
Howdy Reader! There's a long weekend coming up, and if you're anything like me, there's already a little voice in the back of your head making a list. Clean the garage. Catch up on email. Finally deal with that closet. Be productive. Here's a confession... I'm weirdly bad at days off. Give me a free Saturday, and I'll quietly turn it into a to-do list, then feel guilty when I don't finish it. (Nothing says “relaxing holiday” like disappointing yourself by 10 am.) So this week on The Maker's...
Howdy Reader! I went back and listened to some of my early interviews recently, and oof. I was so busy thinking about my next question that I talked right over the best moments. Our guest this week has a fix for that, and it is simpler than you would think. Today, we're sitting down with Matt Stagliano, a portrait photographer, host of the Generator podcast, and the author of a new book called Speak Less, Get More. He has been interviewing people since 1999, and his whole method comes down to...
