54 Your Checklist For Selling (Without Being Pushy)

Published on: 20th February, 2023

Your sales journey - and it is a journey - is the most important aspect of successful selling.

👉 If it's too long, people will drop off

👉 If it's too short, you may be missing out on potential clients


It's all about finding the right balance and this episode helps you do just that.


Here's what I talk about:

  1.  Building trust from the moment someone makes an enquiry
  2.  Choosing a call-to-action that leads to sales
  3.  The steps in place for people to buy from you
  4.  Having a strong first call
  5. The power of following up
