I wanted to share more about my story and how I want to be able to help serve you as you’re going to come along with me on this journey for the content that I have planned and the incredible guests who I am able to bring on this show for you as well. I never intended to have a career in sales. In fact, I always ran away from sales jobs for as long as I can possibly remember. I&#39;m not a stranger to sales. I&#39;m not a stranger to business and I&#39;m not a stranger to entrepreneurship. In fact, my parents have been entrepreneurs ever since I was, I think ever since I was born. I don&#39;t remember anything else other than kind of growing up beside them as they ran their brick and mortar store. However, I found myself going from over 600 million in corporate sales to a 6-figure business. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>How I went from being a huge introvert who is also definitely shy of public speaking and doing everything related to crowds to ending up in a sales role.</li><li>I&#39;ve had a marriage and two kids and the white picket fence. Yes, I even had that and from the outside, everything looked perfect. What was happening on the inside though was very, very different. I was a victim of my own success.</li><li>My breakdown lead to my breakthrough. This gave me the opportunity to share all of these big corporate strategies with small business owners, entrepreneurs, experts like you, and show you the exact behind-the-curtain steps that I have taken so many people through to create success in sales and allow you to master the sales game.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>Your breakdown will lead to your breakthrough. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/46GwO" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Once you know the rules of selling, it really just is one big game and it&#39;s a matter of practicing and implementing and executing. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/5oAat" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>I never intended to have a career in sales and ran away from sales jobs for as long as I can possibly remember [01:02]</li><li>I decided to embark on my own and try and do something that would allow me to live a life of freedom [02:44]</li><li>I wasn’t good at the selling part. So I watched an informal mentor of mine till I was able to create and master a sales process that worked for me [03:34]</li><li>How my breakdown lead to my breakthrough [04:46]</li></ul> Bonus Resource:<a href="https://www.susanmcvea.com/work-with-me/freebiescomingsoon/abundance/" rel="nofollow">5 Steps To Growing Your Abundant Sales Mindset</a> - How to connect authentically with your audience so you can finally sell with more ease and less sleaze. <a href="https://www.susanmcvea.com/work-with-me/freebiescomingsoon/abundance/" rel="nofollow">Grab your free copy now.</a> Send me your burning questions:<a href="https://podcast.susanmcvea.com/ask/" rel="nofollow">Send me your questions</a> and I will profile you here on an upcoming show. Find out more about me here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SusanMcVea" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/successfulsalesstrategies" rel="nofollow">Facebook Group</a><a href="http://www.instagram.com/susanmcvea" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a><a href="http://www.susanmcvea.com/" rel="nofollow">Website</a>

My Story: From over 600 Million in Corporate Sales to a 6-Figure Business

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/6/ebc1cbf4-538e-4e4b-a592-73ccbaf57dc7_msg_episode_4_final.mp3

Introverts can sell just as well, if not better than extroverts. After having worked with hundreds if not thousands and thousands of sales professionals back in corporate, what I know to be true is that regardless of your background, experience, age, ethnicity, gender, it really doesn&#39;t matter. Introverts have just as much capacity to be able to sell extremely well as extroverts do, if not better. Too often what we think of is that extroverts, the ones who have the big personality, who just seem to have that charismatic nature that draws people to them.Introverts can do extremely well in a sales career, in selling in their business and making those sales, especially premium programs or services, is because of their ability to be able to connect in a very unique way. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>Contrary to popular belief, introverts have just as much capacity to be able to sell extremely well as extroverts do.</li><li>You hanging in the background during a networking event, observing, listening and figuring who&#39;s going to be the best person for you to connect with, is the exact same strategy that you can apply to selling in your business.</li><li>You can structure your business model and set up in a way that allows you to actually shine in your personality as an introvert.</li><li>In selling, your job is to lead the conversation using high quality questions and responding appropriately. This takes a lot of active listening and this is a skill that introverts excel in because of the nature of our personalities.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>Your ability to connect deeply actually works in your benefit, especially if you&#39;re working one-on-one with your clients. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/9Aub6" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Sales is an activity of listening.

Why You Can Sell Really Well As An Introvert

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/6/f274c20e-5bcb-4bee-b01a-1d363f710102_msg_episode_5_final.mp3

I created six-figures in six months, going from the zero list zero audience, zero connections, literally zero everything. In this episode, I&#39;m going to dive into the details of the exact steps I took initially to start my online business, even though I had no Facebook profile before April 2016. I had no plan or intention to actually achieve this milestone. In fact, I was perfectly happy in my corporate career until the point where I could no longer physically do the job and had a breakdown. Here’s how I did it. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>If you are struggling with clarity, you may be overlooking something that&#39;s right there in front of you.</li><li>Start by creating content talking about the specific pain points around the problem that you solve for your audience.</li><li>If you spend time, you may find more results, but that&#39;s not always the case and it&#39;s really about creating those connections. Now from there, so you&#39;re engaging these conversations, you&#39;re commenting, you&#39;re helping, you&#39;re answering questions that are in your wheelhouse.</li><li>My calendar blew up I was giving so much value, not only through the posts that I had already built up credibility and expertise in the other communities, but in asking people what they wanted and asking people how I could help serve them. And then delivering upon that with the trainings that I was creating inside my own Facebook community. As a result, people felt heard and validated, understood. And more importantly, they felt connected to me.</li><li>It only took me 20 and a half years to get to six-figures because everything that I learned through my career enabled me to take those shortcuts when I finally put it into practice in my business.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>The better you can get at getting clear on who you help and what you do for them, the easier the rest of it comes along and the more that you can get into flow. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/a5Uic" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Take the time to engage in conversations and be helpful. Serve people and help them, then building your business is the byproduct of the way that you are serving. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/qmLx9" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>You can build a business generating four, five, even six-figures by keeping things extremely simple. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/46v7u" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Start by creating content talking about the specific pain points around the problem that you solve for your audience. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/54XFe" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>If you spend time, you may find more results, but that&#39;s not always the case and it&#39;s really about creating those connections.

How I Hit 6-Figures in 6 Months

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/6/99c41d3f-fdba-4085-aa68-d1d52877b2a2_msg_episode_6_final.mp3

After helping other sales professionals sell over 600 million through my sales career, I’ve learnt that it&#39;s very different selling products and services for somebody else on behalf of another person or another company, another brand versus having to sell yourself. If you are somebody who is struggling to sell in your business, perhaps it’s because you&#39;re serving, serving, serving and you don&#39;t know how to transition that into selling. Serving is selling. On this episode, I’ll teach you how to articulate and understand when to shift that dynamic from giving something for free into giving your audience an opportunity to work with you and, most importantly, pay you. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>Selling requires money. The transformation is in the transaction. And without a transaction there really isn&#39;t a transformation.</li><li>When you have paid for something, it means that you have put your money where your mouth is. The money you spent have been put towards something that is meaningful to you. And when something is meaningful, you are much more likely to pay attention to it.</li><li>If you are currently serving somebody and you are not giving them an opportunity to work with you, you are being completely selfish.</li><li>Allow people to have the full ability to choose whether or not they want to partake of the full depth of your gift.</li><li>In order to sell with ease, you need to have very clear boundaries. You need to have very clear ideas of where you are willing to do things and where you aren’t.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>There is one constant and that one constant is that serving others is always the golden ticket. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/YesaM" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Selling requires money and the transformation is in the transaction. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/iq0fS" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Serving is selling.

My Key Takeaways On Selling With Ease

Have you ever been on a sales call, a sales conversation, in a sales meeting or presentation and you hear the dreaded, I can&#39;t afford it? Or even worse, they ask you up front for any discounts, price reductions, ways that they could get your services for cheaper. In this episode, we&#39;re going to be diving in deep around discounts and why I don&#39;t believe that you need to discount your prices or your services or programs or products in order to be able to get the deal. And what you can do instead so that you can sell with ease. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>The number one issue that you&#39;re facing if you find yourself giving lots of discounts in your business today, is that you have a positioning problem, NOT a pricing problem.</li><li>You need to find customers and potential customers that have an urgent need where your service provides the exact solution that they&#39;re looking for right now.</li><li>That magic combination of your own confidence, the value in what it is that you deliver, as well as the perfect prospect who understands what it is that you&#39;re providing to them and is willing to pay. When you have that magical trio, you are able to sell confidently and easily and hear those yeses consistently without having to discount is a very real factor of the sales process.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>When people are asking for discounts, you have a positioning problem, not a pricing problem. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/o53Sg" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Find customers and potential customers that have an urgent need where your service provides the exact solution that they&#39;re looking for RIGHT NOW. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/0T5Q2" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>You need to be able to engage as the leader in the conversation to be able to say, here&#39;s what it looks like to work with me and to exert your expertise right from the get go.  [<a href="https://ctt.ac/cfcL" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>Why you do not want to position yourself as the discount service provider [01:38]</li><li>The problem you have is NOT a pricing problem.

You Don't Need To Give Discounts To Get The Deal

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/6/d9eb6ddc-aff9-4091-8685-9ece180e57fb_msg_episode_8.mp3

Have you ever had a sales conversation and you&#39;re wondering why the heck aren’t they actually just going ahead and saying yes when you know that you can in fact help them. You&#39;re getting frustrated and struggling because you don&#39;t know what you&#39;re missing in your sales process to actually help them to go over that finish line, to cross the line to finally saying yes. Instead of being on the fence, or worse yet, you know that you can help them, but they don&#39;t see how. In this episode, we&#39;re talking all about the top three reasons why buyers actually say no and don&#39;t buy the thing that actually could help solve their problem and get them the solution that they&#39;re desperately seeking (which is you!) and how you can actually get them to say yes instead. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>When you have that kind of magic secret sauce for your true ideal clients, it is really going to be magnetic. It is something where they’d go, “I want that. Gosh, I didn&#39;t even realize that that was something that I&#39;d been looking for, but I desperately need and I want it.”</li><li>Your customers have to trust that you have a high level of expertise and credibility around being able to do what it is that can actually help them the most.</li><li>Understand the critical piece of tapping into all of our emotions on why we can&#39;t do something and inviting them to think about a different opportunity, inviting them to consider a different option to what they think is the solution. The more open you can be in that conversation, the quicker you can invite them into that opportunity.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>The most critical factor is that they trust that what you say is actually true. They trust that you have a high level of expertise and credibility around being able to help them the most. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/4cf39" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Actually you get fabulous results. You just downplayed it because you&#39;re so used to getting that level of result with the people you serve, that you don&#39;t even realize how wonderful it is. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/x24Wc" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>] </li><li>The more you can make them feel like you&#39;re speaking to them, that this is exactly what they need, this is exactly the time for them to do this, the easier it is going to be for them to SAY YES. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/48Hle" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>This is the most critical thing you need to have beyond the know, like and trust factor. [02:41]</li><li>How we rationalize our purchases.

What if I don&#39;t have a sales process? I have no idea what it is that I am doing when I&#39;m selling. Even if I am making sales, I don&#39;t actually know where they&#39;re coming from. I have no idea how people find me. I really don&#39;t have a system. I don&#39;t have a process... If you’ve been wondering about these things, this episode is for you.

And more importantly, that invites the clients who are the perfect fit.</li><li>The fortune is in the followup and on average most folks are actually not buying until the fifth to eighth touch point. If you are not doing a ton of marketing, chances are sales process are the touch points that you&#39;re having with your customer.

Mastering The 7 Critical Steps Of Your Sales Process

How does self-care even relate to our business? In this episode, I share the 5 key benefits when you focus on you in your business. We’re going to dive deep into this really short but really impactful conversation. Too often we&#39;re focused so much on strategy, which is important. Don&#39;t get me wrong because I&#39;m all about strategic thinking and strategy and tactics, but I think we do ourselves a disservice, especially as business owners and leaders when we fail to recognize that we are human beings too. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>When you are consistently and constantly taking care of others, and getting burnt out, you&#39;re no use to anybody because you&#39;re not giving your highest self.</li><li>When you&#39;re pulled in a million directions, when you don&#39;t have the time and the energy and just the space, the margin to be able to sit and breathe, have a cup of tea, just ponder and think, and really just allow yourself time to just be, it is much harder to make decisions.</li><li>The best leaders take care of themselves. The best leaders do take the time to put their oxygen mask on because without it, they can&#39;t lead.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>Self-care is the biggest gift that you can give to yourself in order to help you to generate better results and make more impact the people that you are called to serve. [<a href="https://five.libsyn.com/show/episodes/view/%20https:/ctt.ac/Te3VI" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>] </li><li>Leaders come from a place of abundance, clarity and focus because they&#39;re looking at the 30,000 foot level and all of the things that are going on. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/3c9s7" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>If you have faith in your ability to stand firm in your leadership to do what&#39;s required of you first and then you serve the people that you need to serve, the results will show up. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/bR6dO" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>How to instantly shift into a less stressed state [05:03]</li><li>How to focus and remove distractions by saying “No.” to things that don’t serve you [08:55]</li><li>Why the best leaders take care of themselves [10:30]</li></ul> Send me your burning questions:<a href="https://podcast.susanmcvea.com/ask/" rel="nofollow">Send me your questions</a> and I will profile you here on an upcoming show. Find out more about me here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SusanMcVea" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/successfulsalesstrategies" rel="nofollow">Facebook Group</a><a href="http://www.instagram.com/susanmcvea" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a><a href="http://www.susanmcvea.com/" rel="nofollow">Website</a>

Self-Care = Better Sales Results

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/6/732b07cf-01b6-45a1-b40e-0b7d1358fd85_msg_episode_12.mp3

How do you actually sell higher priced programs and offers and services? In this episode, we discuss about the different ways that you can sell between transactional selling versus consultative selling and why the consultative selling approach is the best and easiest way to sell.Too often, what I see is that most people use transactional selling. Transactional selling is essentially where there&#39;s not a lot of advice or information that is provided to your customer or buyer. They&#39;re simply coming in, paying for the service or the product. And that&#39;s it. There&#39;s not a lot of differentiation between what it is that you offer versus your competitors or alternativesIf you are a service provider, you’d want to sell more in a consultative selling process. This means that you take the role of a trusted advisor and you’re the expert in the transaction. You&#39;re acting in an expert capacity to help your customers understand exactly how they can get the solution that they&#39;re seeking because you under, you&#39;ve taken the time to really understand the problem, which ultimately gets you the sale. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>Consultative selling means you take on the role of a trusted advisor, you are the expert in the transaction.</li><li>In a consultative sales process, you are standing in your position of authority and expertise. You are speaking with your potential customer to find out if they are a perfect match for your offer.</li><li>Your customers will get overwhelmed by too many options, so keep things to one to three options and keep things simple.</li><li>With a consultative selling approach, you won’t ever feel like you are selling because in essence, you are not selling, you are simple recommending because you are acting in an expert capacity to help your customers understand exactly how they can get the solution they are seeking.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>In your consultative sales process, make things as simple as possible. Encourage your customers to really think through what would a yes look like versus what would a no look like. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/e3vbF" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>] </li><li>If they are the right people, they will come back. If not, they will send you the right people because they already have the respect for how you sell with integrity and understand exactly how you help people. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/Mnc3e" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>You can’t help everyone. Your unique zone of genius, the way that you help is unique to you and unique to the people your serve. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/MQiHw" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>Transactional selling vs. Consultative selling [01:15]</li><li>What goes down in a consultative sales process and how you can apply it to your business as a service provider [04:18]</li><li>How to keep things simple and not overwhelm your buyer [07:23]</li><li>Do this ONE thing that gets you mad respect from your customers and have them refer other customers to you even if they didn’t sign up to work with you [09:17]</li><li>Three simple steps of the consultative sales process [11:48]</li><li>How to set yourself apart from everyone else offering similar services [13:57]</li></ul> Bonus Resource:<a href="https://www.susanmcvea.com/work-with-me/freebiescomingsoon/free/" rel="nofollow">6-Figure Blueprint: Finally Say “I’m Fully Booked”</a> - With this mind map, learn the 3 simple proven ways to get calls booked so you can generate clients on demand! <a href="https://www.susanmcvea.com/work-with-me/freebiescomingsoon/free/" rel="nofollow">Grab your free copy now.</a> Send me your burning questions:<a href="https://podcast.susanmcvea.com/ask/" rel="nofollow">Send me your questions</a> and I will profile you here on an upcoming show. Find out more about me here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SusanMcVea" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/successfulsalesstrategies" rel="nofollow">Facebook Group</a><a href="http://susanmcvea/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a><a href="http://www.susanmcvea.com/" rel="nofollow">Website</a>

Consultative vs. Transactional Selling

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/6/840ea808-0243-4fc7-aca9-b3c9f314214f_msg_episode_13.mp3

The very first thing that most of my clients come to me with struggling with is pricing. If you&#39;re a freelancer or a consultant or a coach and you are working off of the trading time for money model, you need to stop, because it’s the fastest road to burn out. Too often, what I see is high level experts like you who want to help more people, but you are caught in this whole hamster race of trading hours for dollars and hours for dollars.In this episode, I’m going to discuss value based selling in order to help you to charge more with your high ticket services and offers. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>Value based selling is based on an outcome or a result where the value of the item is very, very high.</li><li>If something is easy for you as the expert, chances are you&#39;re taking less time to do it. You’ve already honed your craft, you’ve already learnt from the mistakes. What would take your client five hours to do, you can accomplish in an hour. So in fact, with you charging by the hour, you&#39;re actually doing yourself a disservice.</li><li>Your customers are willing to pay a lot in order to get the solution and to shorten their timeline, especially if it&#39;s something that maybe they have been working on or dealing with their entire life.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>When you actually are able to sell the value of the transformation, outcome and results regardless of what area of expertise that you have, it&#39;s a game changer. [<a href="https://five.libsyn.com/show/episodes/view/%20https:/ctt.ec/efVe6" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>] </li><li>When you&#39;re able to articulate the value of the transformation, the results you provide and not focusing on trading time for dollars, it&#39;s much easier for your customers to say yes. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/BGmw1" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>] </li><li>In value based selling, you are selling based on the transformation based on the outcome and result. As a result, the price tag is indicative of that total transformation. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/lUTzk" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>What exactly is value based selling and how you can charge higher rates for the subject matter you’re an expert in [03:39]</li><li>Why you are doing yourself a disservice by charging by the hour [05:00]</li><li>Why clients are willing to pay high ticket prices [07:30]</li><li>The KEY to value based selling and how to clearly explain the value you provide [09:54]</li><li>Why charging by the hour will burn you out and how to flip that around [13:32]</li><li>How to create a value based package [14:58]</li></ul> Bonus Resource:<a href="https://www.susanmcvea.com/work-with-me/freebiescomingsoon/free/" rel="nofollow">6-Figure Blueprint: Finally Say “I’m Fully Booked”</a> - With this mind map, learn the 3 simple proven ways to get calls booked so you can generate clients on demand! <a href="https://www.susanmcvea.com/work-with-me/freebiescomingsoon/free/" rel="nofollow">Grab your free copy now.</a> Send me your burning questions:<a href="https://podcast.susanmcvea.com/ask/" rel="nofollow">Send me your questions</a> and I will profile you here on an upcoming show. Find out more about me here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SusanMcVea" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/successfulsalesstrategies" rel="nofollow">Facebook Group</a><a href="http://susanmcvea/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a><a href="http://www.susanmcvea.com/" rel="nofollow">Website</a>

How To Charge More With High Ticket Offers Using Value Based Selling

If you have ever thought that closing the sale is the end all be all to your sales and your sales process, I&#39;m going to debunk that myth on today&#39;s episode. People are focused on how do I close, how do I close, how do I close. Maybe you&#39;ve even heard The ABC of sales - Always Be Closing. However, I very much believe that it really should be ABS - Always Be Serving, instead of ABC. In this episode, we&#39;re talking all about why opening the sale is the most important part of the sales process and why it will bring you even more sales in the long-term. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>Selling is the opportunity for you to provide your service, programs, products and solution as a way for your customers to get the help that they need.</li><li>The front end part of your sales process, which is the opening, is a combination of your preparation as well as setting the stage and building rapport, making the connection with your ideal customers.</li><li>Set yourself and your potential customer up for success by having very clear expectations for what the sales conversation is supposed to look like based on what you want.</li><li>People buy from those that they know, like and trust. They may know you and trust that you have the expertise, but if they don’t like you very much, especially when you’re working with them at a high level, high touch type of service, then there would be a huge disconnect. </li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>Selling is serving and when you sell really well, then you’re serving at the same time. When people have a problem you can solve, they’re naturally going to continue to ask how to work with you. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/_r91k" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>You get to choose who you work with and if you don’t like them, you can say no. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/c34_x" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>] </li><li>Nobody wants to be pushed through with their credit card. They want to know that they matter even if they don’t end up working with you. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/n3S1m" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>] </li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>Why opening the sale is the most important part of the sales process. [01:22]</li><li>The key things you need to prepare for sales calls (it’s actually pretty simple!) [05:01]</li><li>How to set the stage in your sales conversations and have the confidence to set your expectations upfront. [07:20]</li><li>How to create rapport and set the tone for the relationship that you’re going to have with your customers right from the get go.

The Most Important Part of Your Sales Process And What It Means For Long-Term Business Growth

If you&#39;ve been listening to other episodes, you know that I really do believe that selling and sales can actually be fun, easy and exciting. I never thought in a million years that I would ever feel this way, because when I first started to sell, I dreaded it. I hated it. I ran away from it. So if you&#39;re anything like me, you want to stay tuned because we&#39;re diving in deep about five key things that I believe that you need to have in place in order to make sure that your sales mindset game is on point.In this episode, we&#39;re talking all about sales mindset and exactly what it is that you need in order to be able to win at this game of sales. Now, sales strategies are important. Don&#39;t get me wrong. But they&#39;re only really about 20% of your ultimate success. The other 80% probably even more than that is really all what goes on inside your head. It&#39;s inside your heart and inside of you. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>Selling is not about lying. If you&#39;re trying to convince people, it typically means you don&#39;t believe in the product or service that you&#39;re trying to sell.</li><li>I always like to take the shortcut. I always like to take the proven path from somebody else that has already walked the path ahead of me.</li><li>When we do the right thing by the people that we&#39;re serving, we actually end up winning even more. And in order to do that, sometimes you have to turn down a sale. </li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>Really understand what it is and what it takes for you to be confident in your own abilities to produce the results and transformation that you&#39;re promising to your customers. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/7ckfZ" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Continue to move forward knowing that your success is inevitable, assuming that that is the case and expecting it. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/rmsot" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li><li>Find someone to serve every single day and serve the heck out of them. [<a href="https://ctt.ac/V4MsF" rel="nofollow">Tweet This</a>]</li></ul> Highlights:<ul><li>What you need to do to be confident in your sales [02:17]</li><li>There is always enough to go around, even in a highly competitive market [07:16]</li><li>The sales mindset you need to master so that your success is inevitable [14:30]</li><li>Don’t take things personally in sales, especially around the “Nos” [18:10]</li><li>Why you need to keep on serving and why you may need to turn down sales in order to win [21:23]</li></ul> Bonus Resource:<a href="https://get.susanmcvea.com/f/pricingobjectionfreebie" rel="nofollow">Turn “I Can’t Afford It.” Into “Sign Me Up!”</a> - Overcome price objections to get more sales, more paying clients and turn those Nos into Yeses!

The Sales Mindset You Need To Win

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/6/f15772c6-b180-43d8-83c2-f439644a7222_msg_s1_episode_16_1.mp3

If you are struggling to sell, perhaps you&#39;re over complicating things. I know that it happens for a lot of my clients. You&#39;re making things harder than they need to be. In today&#39;s episode, I’m breaking down super simply, the two critical pieces that you actually need to have in place regardless of whether you&#39;re selling a product or service.Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>It really doesn&#39;t matter what you&#39;re selling. You need something to sell and you need somebody to buy it and that&#39;s it.</li><li>You can&#39;t simply just build it and hope that they will come. Because even if you have a buyer, if you are not clear, they are not going to buy just simply because you&#39;ve made the offer or you have it available.</li><li>You need to have the offer, but you also need to make sure that your messaging, your marketing, your positioning, how you&#39;ve described it or you&#39;re explaining that in your communication really makes sense for your buyer.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>Don&#39;t go for clever.

If you are selling a service or program that is higher priced, where there&#39;s high touch involved, a high level of expertise, perhaps even a one-on-one, workshop or mastermind where you need to have some kind of conversation with the people that are going to buy from you. This episode will be perfect as we’re going to dive in deep in to the three biggest reasons why your high-ticket sales aren&#39;t going to happen.  Sometimes we overthink and get so caught up in our own stories that we miss sight of the fact that fundamentally, regardless of what we&#39;re selling, whether it&#39;s a product or service, but especially the higher the ticket price, the more that&#39;s on the line, not just for you, but ultimately for your potential customers. Biggest Takeaways:<ul><li>If you&#39;re talking to customers that you really, really do want to work with and yet they still keep saying no, there&#39;s still that&#39;s keeping them on the fence or you&#39;re getting frustrated.</li><li>Identify if there’s something about your offer that has been poorly explained that needs more communication, more explanation or clarification in order to make sure that it really does meet the needs of your ideal customer.</li><li>The more you can empathize with your potential customers, the more you can set their minds at ease. You can use past customer successes and testimonials, as well as examples from your own life and from the people around you, to let them know that they are not alone.</li></ul> Quotables:<ul><li>It’s all about you and your authority.
