The Boss
Lifelong Entrepreneur & Salesperson
I have been an enterprising entrepreneur since I was a "yah" high (a young child). I have always been a problem solver and servant at heart. Entrepreneurship is a part of who I am. Along with being a mom to 5 kids, I love the outdoors, wild herbal plants and meeting new people (self proclaimed extrovert).
My business, The Follow Up Boss, comes from years in the sales world. Struggling to create results while also creating community in a methodology that feels authentic and ethical. Struggling to not feel salesy while still making sales. Being told "this" is how sales work yet knowing there was a better way. So I dug in, committed to finding that better way and found other experts who agreed me. What I discovered were the methods to growing authentically, organically and sustainably through curiosity and personal connection. Now I work with other heart-centered businesses to create their people-focused sales processes.
The doorbell rings. You get up from your comfy couch to see who it could possibly be, and you are annoyed to realize you've just opened the door to a salesperson.
Feel familiar??
It is these moments that reinforce why you HATE sales!
Door-to-door sales is the embodiment of unwanted, interruptive sales. And it is a technique still commonly used among MANY trades. This and other sales techniques, though they "can" work to create customers, also create negative experiences for those who COULD be customers.
How do we, as business owners, figure out how to connect with our core audience WITHOUT being this same kind of obnoxious salesperson??
Through creative techniques that create a POSITIVE experience and make the person WANT to open the door.
Experiences are the universal language. They can be created through humor, unexpected candor, out-of-the-ordinary opportunities and more. Which one works for YOUR business... well, that's a discussion I'm here for.
I used to believe I SUCKED at sales! Until I realized it was because I was buying into the false belief that sales can only happen one way... It wasn't until I understood my own strengths in developing trust and demonstrating my expertise. You also have skills and personality strengths that flavor the way you connect and build trust. Together, we can uncover the actions needed to tap into those strengths to connect ORGANICALLY with your prospects and earn their trust.
