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 thing your setup needs that nobody has made yet. You have thought about it. You probably even know roughly what it would cost. Doc Rock went and made his. This Friday we're sitting down with Doc Rock, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Ecamm and co-host of The Flow. He spent years traveling around teaching podcasting, and everywhere he went, people asked him about pop filters for their microphones. The only decent one shipped from the Netherlands, thirty dollars...
Howdy ! I have a folder on my Mac called "someday." It has subfolders. And is color-coded. That's how you know it's serious. You've got one too, probably. Maybe yours is a note called "ideas," untouched since 2019, sitting right above that reminder to back up your hard drive. Mine sat there for four years, giving me the side-eye every time I scrolled past. Then AI gave me some hours back, and three things came out of that folder in the last two months. Alive. Blinking at the light. 1. The CNL...
Howdy Reader! Here is a stat that may surprise you... Online content is up 57 percent since generative AI showed up. Everybody got the same tools on the same day, and we all did the obvious thing with them, which is make more. So it is worth asking why everything you publish seems not to work as well as it used to This Friday we're sitting down with Angie Callen, the founder of The Modern Coach. She is a former engineer turned award-winning executive coach, author, and speaker; she wrote a...
