In this episode, I talk with my friend and *expert* sales coach Kristen Sobel about how to make sales human, honest, and maybe even kind of fun (?!). We talk through what sales really IS (relationship-building and trust) versus what we’re all afraid it is (pushy, gross, or slimy), and talk through the invitational version of selling that we both teach clients - which does NOT require pelting anyone with pitches.

Kristen shares her uber-simple approach to sales through mindset, systems, and habits, and we get into the obstacles we ALL have including perfectionism, over-delivery, and all the sneaky ways we avoid selling—even when we want our businesses to grow.

My favorite takeaways:

Sales = Trust (Empathy + Authority)

Sales is about FIT on both sides.

If sales calls keep stalling,it's not that you’re “bad at sales.”

Ready to avoid selling less and instead have sales and selling be a normal, sustainable part of running your business? Listen on!

In this episode, I’m sharing seven crazy simple yet high-impact tips that can make a real difference in how your business feels and grows. These are small ideas pulled straight from real & recent client conversations, and they'll help you as much as they helped my clients :).

The goal in this episode (and always, really) is to help you see that you don’t need to make giant changes or become someone you're not to succeed - - you just need simple, consistent practices that you can actually stick with.

For example...

• Don’t bury the lead—be clear and direct first.
• Simple priorities have to live along side your long, overwhelming lists.
• Your business grows through discomfort and seasons.

Ready for the whole list? Listen on!

In this episode of Uncomplicating Business, I’m joined by my friend and brilliant LinkedIn strategist Molly Godfrey for a conversation about connection — on LinkedIn, sure, and also, everywhere else. We talk about connection IS [genuine curiosity and care without a specific agenda], and how trust sits at the center of everything we do as business owners.

We get into:

- Why LinkedIn is more like your favorite coffee shop than you realize;

- The convergence of trust and connection in successful networking;

- The nuance of figuring out someone’s capacity for depth of connection (and why that matters!);

- What to do when you feel disconnected, comparison-y, or in your head

Molly also shares how she handles lots of inbound connections without losing her mind (or human-ness!)
