Find "selling" a bit spooky (or icky)? I don't blame ya. I bet you've been sold to in an unethical way before, witnessed predatory sales tactics, had buyer's remorse--- all experiences that can make a business owner resent the sales process.

BUT if you've got a business, making money isn't negotiable. And if you wanna make money, sales is part of the process. So let's see if we can chat some non-scary stories to help undo the spookiness around selling, shall we?

In this episode I'll share:

1) A story about winning a beer-selling contest

2) A story about learning a fundamental lesson in sales while fliering a theatre lineup

3) A story about the ONE THING I couldn't sell, even when my listing got national exposure on Facebook Marketplace thanks to a random PR opportunity.

After this episode, you'll feel inspired to use some sales tactics you're more aligned with, so your business can grow and you can maintain your authenticity and morals around money.

If you've got a business with an email list you've GOTTA stream this episode if you wanna grow it. One of the most tried and true email list growth methods is to trade info for emails. EG. Promote a freebie, lead-magnet, opt-in, quiz - give some sort of free value-packed resource to your leads in exchange for their name and email.

It's a win-win!

They get valuable info - you nurture a lead for your business and grow your email list.

BUT... There's a but.

After working with hundreds of businesses I've noticed 3 major mistakes business owners make with their freebie that seriously hinder the lead magnet as a marketing strategy.

...Wanna know what they are to make sure you're not throwing a monkey wrench in your email marketing?

Viral comedic sensation Steph Tolev has had a tremendous year of accolades. From opening for superstar Bill Burr, to multiple viral videos and performances across North America. Steph is among the most authentic creators out there and in this episode she's spilling on mindset shifts she's made to keep going strong - even amid taking heat from some of the worst trolls on the internet.

She is unabashedly authentic, and doesn't compromise who she is in content creation, even when the Instagram and TikTok algorithms suppress her content because of it.

Steph Tolev is about to give you the content creation pep talk you didn't know you (and your business) needed.

Heads up this recording is NSFW - for language.

This week CTV posted an article questioning whether corporate social media content was chasing edgy trends and getting a tadddd inappropriate. In this episode we talk about where the crude-content trend started, why it "works" so well, and why you, as a small business owner, have a major social media marketing advantage that corporations lack.

We'll also share David Sommer's 3 rules for how towing the line when using comedy in your content (as quoted in CTV), and I'll share one of my own rules for helping my small business clients decipher whether a joke or hot take has gone too far to post or juuuust far enough.
