What's the common strategy to sell a service or a product? Having been in the business for over 9 months and working with 9+ clients, I've come to understand one common thing that works best for both service-based and product-based companies. Don't sell the product or service; sell the mind behind it. Understood? No? Let me explain. Picture this: you're super famous on LinkedIn or Instagram. You have a great community that engages with you and spreads word of mouth about you. Now, you have a product to sell. Would you burn your money on performance marketing and paid marketing to make your product famous? No, right? What if instead of pouring money into ads, you leverage your personal brand? That's the power move. People trust people, not just products or services. They want to connect with the mind, the personality, and the passion behind what they're investing in. Think about it this way: would you rather buy a faceless product from a random ad or invest in something recommended by someone you admire and trust? Exactly! By putting yourself out there, sharing your story, your expertise, your journey, you're not just selling a product or service - you're selling yourself. And that's the ultimate strategy in today's market. This is why I always suggest to my clients to build a personal brand before building their company (if they don't want to exhaust all their funds into marketing). So, next time you're thinking about how to sell, remember: it's not just about what you're selling, it's about who's selling it. And that's you. Ready to elevate your business?

Are you currently facing objections A lot of businesses are experiencing low sales not because they don't have buyers that come around... But because they have not mastered how to handle objections to get the sales rolling in. Before your prospect clicks on your link or goes through your sales pages, he already has some objections in mind. So here are 4 ways you can overcome buyer objections and clinch that sale... 📍Establish a relationship People buy from brands they know and trust. Create a relationship with your prospect and make him feel you totally understand what he is going through. 📍Establish authority People don't only buy from brands they know and trust but also from brands they know are experts and excellent at what they do. Establishing your authority as an expert in solving your audience problem makes you more credible than your competitors. 📍 Show proof Show testimonials of those who have made use of your product and are living happy and better lives. You can also do a video showing how your product does exactly what it says it does (if it's a physical product). 📍Trigger Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) You can do this by either putting a limited price discount or limited free shipping services. ❓What other ways do you overcome objections from your clients??

How I write on LinkedIn to convert (without selling) This insight helped me monetize, fast. Focus on speaking to the heart, not the mind. Here's a breakdown with some examples. 1. Write to known unspoken territory ↳ Don't say ‘I can't get leads’, say, ‘I may go back to my 9-5’ 2. Give someone a reason to follow you ↳ Document in public, demonstrate your actions 3. Build your universe to attract people ↳ Watermelons are funner than money, crocs are worn by sales bros - what’s yours? 4. Talk about what you believe in ↳ "I believe you can sign high ticket clients w/o sales calls" 5. Use memes to drill points home ↳ Information + Entertainment = sales 6. Tell stories often & pivot them to your offer ↳ "1 fruit stood out at the supermarket... if you want to stand out DM me" Then write your posts with the intention to shift beliefs. Most posts on LinkedIn are imitatatable. A post that comes from your experience is inimitable. Stop copywriting, start power writing. --- ♻️ Repost to help 1 person win PS.

Today is the day...I am jumping in with both feet and starting my side hustle... Content Marketing Consultant Why content marketing after over 20 years in sales? It is because of my 20 years in sales...all of the time spent reaching out to potential cold clients...being told no without really being listened to...being hung up on...wondering if there was a better way. Knowing how much easier it was when someone came to me saying "I need your product." Having people come to me because someone referred them to me. Wanting more of this but not knowing how to do it. We do not buy things the way we used to. We educate ourselves before a purchase. We research companies to find "the best." Think...when was the last time you walked into a store or called a company and said - tell me about your product, I know nothing... Although it may not drive an immediate response, content marketing will deliver a more qualified lead to your sales team. It is time-consuming work to develop these educational pieces but that is where someone like me comes in. My goal is to help small to medium size businesses develop a content strategy to present themselves as an industry expert and drive more qualified leads to their teams. I am looking for two small businesses that would like to get started. Message me to get the conversation started. (Your sales team will thank you 😁 ) #contentmarketing #inboundmarketing #contentstrategy #contentconsultant

I used to love sales, but then... I discovered marketing. And within a month, I realised that selling is useless without marketing. Why? Because in today’s business culture, sales means: ↘ Expecting unreal outcomes in the name of growth ↘ Most people can’t reach those targets (leaders included) “You can achieve anything you set your mind to”. Bla. Bla. Hmmm… you can, if your life depends on it. But is ‘do or die’ sustainable? What happens when your lead is looking blank at you? Blinking his eyes just after your 110% pitch? They don’t like you. They don’t trust you. The worst thing? They’ve never heard of you. Why should they pay you? Can’t blame them for ‘agreeing’ to give you an appointment then making you wait for 2 hours then rescheduling (ouch) Then you follow up. Then you beg (ouch) Then you go to your friends and ask them to buy You’re ‘testing your friendship’ To book revenue. Even if you’re the senior types, the ammmouunt of physical energy it takes to make people truly understand the value. Then you send a junior to open calls. The cycle goes on. Sales doesn’t have to be draining. That’s because thankfully, you have marketing. With marketing you can: ↗ clear your ICP’s mental blocks wrt your product ↗ talk about relatable examples using emotions ↗ iron out misconceptions Pair it up with an effective content strategy, and you can: ↗ pitch round the clock ↗ in a non-needy way ↗ on auto-pilot ↗ at scale I still love selling. Not sales pressure. I’m a copywriter and brand strategist. If you want ways to sell better, smarter, easier, I have a simple system you can immediately use. With this system, you can stop chasing customers and start attracting them. They'll easily remember you, and be happy to keep paying you.

You can’t be a successful freelancer or solo marketer unless you know how to sell yourself. And guess what?     The first person you must sell is YOURSELF.   If you can’t sell yourself on why you’re the obvious choice, how do you expect to show the client that you are?   I spent the first 12 years of my career in sales. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned is that you HAVE to believe in what you’re selling.   When I didn’t believe in my product, company or service, it showed in my results.   When I was 1000% personally sold and convinced on what I was selling, it also showed. But in a much more positive way.   As a writer and marketer, you offer more value to clients than you give yourself credit. I know you do!   You may not realize it because you’re so close to your own stuff. Or because you’ve done the work for so long, it comes easily to you.   And when something feels easy, we tend to devalue it.   How do you break out of that belief cycle?   Here’s one simple way. First, recognize that the reason it often feels easy is that you’ve spent X number of years making mistakes and learning from those mistakes.   Your clients haven’t shed the blood, sweat and tears you have. So this stuff is hard for them, as it should be.   Second, do a quick inventory of all the clients you’ve worked with over the years. Think about what you did for them and how you helped.   Think back to all the accolades you’ve received. All the praise. The testimonials. The repeat work.   And while you’re at it, take a couple of minutes to think about how far you’ve come in your business. Because when you’re climbing a mountain it’s too easy to stay focused on the summit and lose sight of how much you’ve already climbed.   So, yeah. Sell yourself first. It will show in your client and prospect conversations. And in your bank account.   #FreelancerTips #MarketingStrategies #SellingStrategies #ValueProposition

Why should prospects invest their hard-earned money on you? Sales happens only when you eliminate the buyer's objections. Persuasion involves a step-by-step approach. Here's one that helped me seal a $600/month project. Project Overview Scope: Insta and LinkedIn page handling Niche: Health and Lifestyle Requirement: Sell consultation services via social media We got into a discovery call.. Step 1️⃣:  Proof of work I shared 2-3 content planners I prepared for my former clients. This gave clarity on the content strategy, post captions, hashtags, etc. Step 2️⃣: Package your services I offered 3 customized packages for them to choose from. For eg, Package 1:  Ideas Package 2: Ideas + Content Package 3: Ideas + Content + Page handling Step 3️⃣: Lowering risk via trial project $600 is not a small amount. So, to prove my skills, I offered the prospect a $100 trial project option for 5 posts. Step 4️⃣: Offer freebies Who doesn’t love freebies? I suggested 5-10 page optimization tips for free. This had 2 benefits: ✅Increased rapport ✅Instant brand credibility Step 5️⃣: Multi-platform bundle Having different freelancers handle their handles was tedious. I also offered to handle their LinkedIn page - a single point of contact for two platforms. “Sid, we have a $600 budget for our Insta and LinkedIn page marketing. Please share the proposal. This looks promising.” We ended the call. Objections to buying - GONE! ❌ Sales - ON!✅ What objections to sales have you faced? #sales #linkedin #copywriting

You never got the results you wanted in sales because... you always left this out. But don't worry, now you don't have to leave it behind anymore. It is nothing but: Answering sufficiently the questions your prospective buyer have in mind. You have to answer questions like: 🔸 How am I sure I'll be free from my problems using this product? So you have to prove to them how you stand in a better place to solve their problems with your product. 🔸 How easy is it to use compared to the others? So you elaborate specifically how your product can help better their lives. 🔸 Will I not be wasting my money? I'm using a product similar to this. If your product is not solving a dire problem, then you cannot fully convince your prospects to choose yours over others. Remember you are selling value not product. 🔸 What's in it for me? What bonus are they getting on purchasing your product? 🔸 What happens now if I don't enjoy using this product as said? Offer a full money-back guarantee and place your prospect on the safe side. 🔸 I want to buy, but I don't believe anything he says. So you have to back your claims and provide as much social proof as possible to convince them to buy from you. And this is it, you just few steps to winning the hearts of your prospective buyers.
