    Hear my personal behind the scenes journey starting Grit & Tenacity Consulting, the year of Grit working 2 full time jobs and almost a year later getting laid off from THE most TOXIC place I have EVER worked for!

    Challenges even I face as a seasoned sales coach and the traps we can get into if we aren't careful. Selling from a place of angst or fear never results in the outcome you desire. If your in a season of transition, this is the time to surround yourself with big thinking, action taking people who can help you navigate your next steps!

    We don't go into business to just survive... so lets thrive girlfriends...

  • 036 Gwen's sales call fail - why she lost the client
    Jun 13 2024

    Highlights of this episode:

    Before we get started I wanted to remind you that I have a FREE Sales Audit.

    https://www.gritandtenacityconsulting.com/gt-sales-audit

    Listen I get it! As a Mom who sacrificed weeknights, weekends, early mornings, and up late at nights, grinding to make a sale sucks! Selling is not complicated when you are confident in what you are selling. As someone with over 20 years of experience in business and sales, I am helping female entrepreneurs sell more confidently by refusing those masculine sales norms, leaning into your authentic selves and creating processes that feel good. See I have found that most female entrepreneurs don’t know how to sell, let alone have sales processes that help to build confidence in your business. If you're like me, you have a drawer full of cosmetics for every occasion, why not be prepared and have a “toolkit” for every sales situation? I want you to consider this podcast as a way to build that toolkit so your able to sell MORE confidently!

    Key Takeaways:

    Gwen shares her insights and experiences in sales, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing a potential client's pain points, and the need for respecting the client's decision-making process. She also discussed her own journey of learning from sales rejections and the significance of introspection in improving sales processes.

    Gwen's Regret in Client Conversation

    Gwen discussed a situation where she secured a sale with a client but later realized she had made a mistake by not involving the client's husband in the initial conversation. The client, who later communicated with her husband about the financial aspects, wasn't able to join as a client due to a summit she was preparing for. Gwen shared her regret for not handling the situation correctly and emphasized the importance of understanding and respecting the client's decision-making process, which may include consulting with a spouse or partner.
