The secret to REAL CONFIDENCE on sales calls (It’s not jumping up and down before the call)

If you are someone who is serious about selling high ticket offers, then you have to be able to show up to sales consults with complete confidence.

That may seem obvious, but what’s less obvious is how to actually do that.

After doing more than 1500 sales consults over the last 15 years, I can tell you that the best thing you can do to improve your confidence and your close ratio is to have a CONSULTATIVE SALES PROCESS.

What does a consultative sales process do for you?
🙌 It provides a standard operating procedure. The more you follow it, the better you get.
🙌 It makes you look and feel professional
🙌 It gives you a blueprint for staying in control of the conversation (or for getting back on track when one goes astray)
🙌 It transforms you from just another salesperson to a caring client advocate
🙌 And of course, it greatly improves your sales numbers

But probably most importantly, it is part of the foundation for scaling a great offer. 🚀

So, if you are feeling afraid of sales, or like you hate selling, I invite you to lean into that. Is that really true or is it possible that you are just missing a process that makes sales easy and fun?

6 Questions To Ask Yourself Yourself In The Early Stages of Planning an Offer (so you know it will sell)....

⭐ Are you clear on the specific problem you are solving?
It is super important to have complete clarity on the problem you are solving. If you can't describe the outcome you provide in 1-2 short sentences then you need to work on this more.

⭐ Do you have a fall out of the mouth name and domain?
The name is one of the most important parts of the offer. It needs to be memorable, and your need a tagline that makes it clear what it does and who it’s for?

​​⭐ Is it tangible?
Digital products or services have a lower perceived value because it is not something you can touch or hold. Having mockup shots on your sales page makes it feel like a real life product which increases the value.

⭐ Is it aspirational?
Is your copy centered around something they aspire to have or do? People move away from pain and towards pleasure - so your copy needs to help them make that move.

​​⭐ Is it proprietary?
Do you have clarity on what makes your approach different from your competition? If not, take the time to figure it out.

⭐ Is it priced right?
Your price is determined by the value of the outcomes you provide + the audience you are offering it to. It also determines your selling process. Higher ticket items are hard to sell without some kind of consultation. Lower ticket offers need a lot of follow up to account for any leaky spots in your funnel.

In my opinion, asking yourself these 6 questions EVERY TIME you create an offer WILL help you cut through the noise and create an offer that is IRRESISTIBLE. And yes, there are other elements that come into play - but this is a good start.

Spicy hot takes on offer positioning! I'm curious if you've thought…

🤷I picked a niche with no money
🤷Nobody wants my offer
🤷I’m attracting the wrong type of people
🤷Something doesn’t feel aligned

Here’s my take on it..

When it comes to digital marketing for your coaching business, it is way too easy to get swept up in information overload and then wonder why all these strategies aren’t working for you.

After creating and selling high ticket offers for over 10 years now, I can tell you that offer positioning is one of the MOST important parts to getting people to take action.

Offer creation is both an art and a science and there are several aspects that combine to make an offer irresistible. If you have launched to crickets, then you’ve probably got several of these elements missing.

So before you do something drastic like switching your audience, changing your offer, or putting things on pause until you can figure out your purpose (been there, done that).....simply revisit your offer positioning.

✔️Is it a problem people want solved
✔️Is the offer name clear and marketable
✔️Can you describe what it does in 1-2 SHORT sentences
✔️Is it proprietary
✔️Is it packaged and priced correctly

If not, make these changes and see if things improve. Afterall, success really does boil down making incremental improvements over a long period of time.

Curious what your take on this is?

I see you.

Hustling.

Making “it happen.”

On the outside it looks like you’ve got it all together.

But on the inside your soul is slowly dying.

You started your business with passion.

But somewhere along the way, you got sucked into the “shoulds.”

One guru told you “You have to do it this way”

Another yelled “No, you have to do it that way.”

And somewhere along the way, you got misaligned with your purpose.

You lost that sense of excitement.

And now you lie awake at night dreading the next day…

…..secretly hoping it all comes crashing down so this nightmare can finally end.

But there’s good news….it doesn’t have to be this way.

Alignment is not some woo-woo concept.

It’s the foundation on which your freedom and happiness lie.

And it’s 100% possible to realign and reignite your soul’s purpose in your business.

The best part is from a place of alignment, there’s nothing that can stop you from creating your empire with ease and flow.

To achieving the freedom lifestyle you want to experience.

To retiring your spouse…

Building that dream house…

Traveling the world…

Making the world a better place…..

And becoming the powerhouse you are meant to be.

If you are ready to ignite your soul’s purpose in your business and life, then I’ve got a free masterclass training next week to show you the way.

It’s called the 5 Steps to Becoming a Powerhouse CEO Who Steps Into Her Message and Attracts Ideal Clients (without leading your health and well-being into burnout). You can reserve your spot here: www.lesliesharkeycaoching.com/masterclass

[THE MISSING INGREDIENT IN YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS]

❌Worrying you aren’t enough of an expert

These are all symptoms of not being connected to purpose + passion in your business.

The rules of business have changed.

In 2020 and beyond, people are looking for authentic connection.

Yes, they care about having their problem solved, but they also care about working with someone who is authentic and aligned with their own values.

That’s where you soul’s purpose comes into play.

As a woman who is selling her expertise, your business is literally the embodiment of you.

That’s why it is so very important that you take the time to get in touch with your passion and purpose – so you can build your business foundations around it.
