3 Secrets To Get Your Money's Worth Out Of GUIDE Culture
When people join GUIDE Culture, one of the first things they ask is: "how can I prepare beforehand?"Before their training kicks off, they want to know what they can be doing and how they can be preparing to get the MOST out of it.And we absolutely LOVE this energy! They are in it to win it and we love to see it. Our friend, GUIDE Culture graduate, and GUIDE Culture Coach, Shelby Rose, also asked this question when she first took her training. If you're in the GC bubble in any capacity, you know Shelby! People love her and trust her so they often ask her this question, too.During the Spring Cohort enrollment, so many people were asking her this question and she realized that she was responding with the same 3 things - so much so that she went to Kat and said, "can we record something and let it be one of the first things students see after they enroll?"Kat loved the idea, so they hopped on Zo

How To Engineer A Content Roadmap So You Always Have Something To Say with Danielle Weil

She didn't have an Instagram, just an email.So, Macy sent her an email and we've been going strong ever since! Over the last 3 years, we've met with Danielle (we call her Dani!) via Zoom every Tuesday and she helps us get our message across in new and different ways.She's the person outside of our bottle (we talk more about what this means in this episode) that helps us see how to connect with our audience in an engaging way through every piece of writing in the business.Though she specializes in launching, she's more like our cool aunt that helps us with EVERYTHING - from captions, to emails, to blog posts and more, Dani has helped the entire team SO MUCH and we're pumped for you to learn from her in this epi

The Trap To Avoid At All Costs: Be Aware Of This Before You Create Something New To Sell
Do you teach from a place of knowledge or from a place of knowing? There's a MAJOR difference!Macy here and just recently I was watching a documentary that revealed something that plays so true in business -- and this is this idea of people teaching or talking on subjects that they secretly struggle with as well.It's an easy trap to fall into and one that I've personally fallen into plenty of times. The way this starts to happen, as a business owner or entrepreneur, is when you are personally struggling with something -- whether that be hitting your sales goals, growing your team, refining your leadership, meeting deadlines, etc. -- and you start to seek learning on this specific subject.For example:If you're trying to grow your sales skills, you might take sales training.If you're honing your copywriting skills, you might hire a copy coach.If you're leveling up your leadership, you might read

Do You Want Your Business To Improve As Quickly As Possible? This Episode Is For You!
In last week's podcast episode, we revealed how we're burning down the business and starting over. The first step in consciously doing that was looking at all of our offers and asking ourselves, "how does this offer make me feel?"As we started this process as a team, it became crystal clear what needed to happen. Not because the certain offer in question isn't helpful. Not because it doesn't align with the business. But truly because it can be done so much better with greater intention.With that said, Needle Movers, our $197 product that teaches people the repeatable, sustainable system to consistently move toward their goals WHILE living a life that's important to them is RETIRING FOR GOOD ON MAY 27TH!We're burning it down, reevaluating and building back from the ground up!

We're Burning the Business Down to the Ground and Starting Over
Macy here! Last week on Instagram, I shared how I feel like I'm living in a paralleled space as an entrepreneur - in a place where SO MUCH is working, paired with things that aren't working.As a salesperson, it's difficult to focus on anything other than sales. And I believe that's how it should be most of the time, because there's really nothing else to focus on if sales aren't happening. There wouldn't be a business at all.Because of that, I've always moved forward quickly and with purpose - always looking for the next opportunity, the next angle on the same message and new ways to get into more sales conversations.If I'm being honest, GUIDE Culture has sort of been built by accident. Through the process of trial and error, seeing what sticks and what doesn't, the business has evolved. We've taken what's worked and continued moving forward.And that's what has allowed us to grow so qu

$70K and 36 Likes in 1 Day: Spring Cohort Launch Debrief
A few weeks ago we wrapped up enrollment for our 2022 Spring Cohort. The enrollment season for this cohort specifically was different than any other enrollment season or launch we've ever experienced!Earlier this year, we decided to ditch the traditional "launch" process that you're likely familiar with if you're in the online business world and try something new. This meant stop doing webinars so often, stop having only one open cart week, stop having such a long launch runway filled with mini events and do what we know best - which is sell. ALL. THE. TIME.Essentially this meant, that people could enroll for the cohort at any time - they didn't have to wait until open cart week. We started calling it the "enrollment period" and thinking about it terms of a school or college - everyone enrolls on a different date, but they all have the same first day. Pivoting to this style allowed for much more conversation with leads on a

Do You Sell Multiple Products? This Episode Is For You!
Macy here, co-CEO of GUIDE Culture!Just last week, I was on a discovery call with someone interested in taking GUIDE Culture's Sales + Leadership Training and during our conversation, she mentioned how she has so many passions and things that she enjoys doing.When we took a closer look at all the things that she does and ways that people can work with her, I noticed that everything she did had ONE common thread.If you sell multiple products or have multiple ways that people can work with you, chances are that you have ONE thread among all of them, too.As someone that teaches sales, one of the things I've learned is that it is extremely hard (if not, impossible) to sell multiple things. Every single product or service that you sell requires so much time and energy for it to really HIT with your audience.The good news is that if you do sell multiple things, you don't have to have different messages for each - in fact,

Building Value VS. Adding Value - What's The Difference?
After working with hundreds of business owners and entrepreneurs through the GUIDE Culture Sales Training, we've noticed that a lot of people get it wrong in this one major area.And that is the area of adding value versus BUILDING value - they aren't the same!You hear it all the time - "give value, add value." So much so that the word 'value' almost has no meaning anymore.When people think about "adding value" they think of giving away their knowledge, sharing information, stating facts, etc.And there is a time and place for that!The problem is that when you only share that type of content with your audience, you aren't inspiring people to take action. You aren't guiding them into a decision that is best for them.That's where BUILDING value comes in!In this episode, Macy and Loy talk about the main differences between the two - if you're

Sell MORE By Talking About Your Product LESS
When you have a product that feels like a no brainer, especially for your target audience, it's tempting to talk about just that - the product.Maybe you share the basic information about the product - such as size, color, name, etc. - and then maybe give a little insight about what or where the product would be perfect for.For example: a boutique owner might be selling a pair of sandals.When they post about the sandals, they might say something like, "these white sandals are the perfect addition to your closet for spring and summer and will go great with any skirt or dress this season. Available in sizes 6-11."When someone sees that they might think, "oh how cute!" and then proceed to find a similar version on Amazon for a cheaper price and faster shipping.The product caught their eye, but because there was no deeper conviction for THAT specific one, they moved on to finding it elsewhere.

Stop Giving Your "Best Stuff" Away For Free
Have you ever been given the advice to give your best stuff away for free because it will make people want to buy from you EVEN more?We hear this tension a lot.People want their audience to know that they have expertise. They want their audience to find value in what they share and ultimately experience wins. And we totally get it! We also want people to know that we have knowledge in our industry and for them to trust that they will receive value from our product.What often happens when you start sharing and giving away all of your best stuff for free is that people get overloaded with information and end up making no decision at all.Something we know to be true is that information doesn't always equal TRANSFORMATION.For example: most of us know that broccoli is a better choice than mac and cheese.

In this special episode, we sit down with one of our coaches and mentors from the past year, Brandon Lucero, who leads 4X Video Effect - recently rebranded into the New Generation Entrepreneur Mastery Program.Brandon's proven methodology shifts how online content is created and distributed by changing beliefs, shifting perspectives and the psychology of selling products online so you can move your audience into a buying state of mind while growing your brand.He has successfully generated over 9 six-figure launches, generated millions of views online, helped create million-dollar sales funnels and worked with multiple 7-figure entrepreneurs like James Wedmore, Carrie Green, Caitlin Bacher, Rick Mulready, and more.Through working with Brandon, we've learned the importance of selling and speaking on your beliefs and one message instead of following the social norms of bashing other opinions, going only where the attention is or only teaching how

What Matters Most: Sales or Sales Culture?
SALES VS. SALES CULTURE - what matters more?If you've been following GUIDE Culture or listening to the podcast for any amount of time, chances are you've heard us use the phrase "sales culture."Macy always says that she grew up in a "sales culture" home, but it's become very clear that a lot of people either a) don't know what that is or b) don't know how to cultivate it.While sales and sales culture are two totally different things, they both have one thing in common: they have to be planned for - neither of them just happen.Here's how you can put it in perspective: in 6 months, a year or even 2 years down the road, you can be living out 1 of 2 scenarios in your business ⬇️➡️ you can look up and think, "wait... how come no one is bought in to my mission? why can't I keep team members on board? why are sales so hard and I can't hit my numbers?" 😓<br/

Bonus Episode: Selling Something That's Not Trendy Without Bashing Your Competition
This bonus episode is pulled from a recent YouTube Live that we do every Tuesday morning at 9am ET! On YouTube Live, we answer questions from our audience to give you the insight and answers around sales, leadership & business in general. In this episode, we answer a DM we received on Instagram recently where someone asked:"I've always wanted to know how to sell our family's beef. Sometimes I think it would be easier to sell if we were grass-fed or organic because those are trendy. However, I just know that grass-fed/organic go against our values. How do you sell something when it's not the trend and you know what you sell is better without bashing the trend?"Do you feel like you have a product that's not trendy or sexy? If so, do you struggle to sell it because you think people won't want it? Do you know your product is BETTER than the trendy thing, but aren't sure how to communicate that?If you said yes

'Launch' Debrief: $198,606 Without a Fancy Strategy
A few weeks ago we SOLD OUT the seats for our 2022 Winter Cohort and the craziest part is that we sold out a week before close cart.If you're familiar with online business, you probably know that there's typically a week of open cart - meaning the week that people can buy - and prior to that there's a launch runway.The launch runway usually has a lot of mini events, such as challenges, bootcamps, small events, etc. to get people prepped for the big event which is usually a webinar, masterclass or something of that sort where the selling happens.While we have definitely utilized all of these strategies in the past, something we realized is that each piece of the launch runway required a tonnnnn of energy and by the time we reached open cart week, quite honestly, people were tired. And so were we.Because each piece of the runway is a sell - you have to sell people to join the Facebook group or sell them to join the Zoom call or se

The Power of Identity and Changing Old Patterns
Just the other day, someone sent us a DM and said: "On a recent podcast episode, I heard you and Macy talking about running a business through pregnancies and raising babies. I loved hearing this, but the thought I had in the back of my head was that I hope that when I get pregnant again, I can continue on the path of motivation and momentum that I'm currently experiencing. In my last pregnancy, I created a lot of bad habits because I didn't feel well. Do you have tips to keep things on track during pregnancy and the new born phase?"Even if you can't relate to the pregnancy or raising children scenarios, the underlying idea here is that if you've gotten off track before, you might be scared to go all in because you fear you'll resort back to old patterns.In this episode, Kat shares her story of when she was pregnant with her first child, Lucy, and compares that experience with her current pregnancy and shares how she ha

Permission To Play
If you've been around awhile, you probably know that here at GUIDE Culture, we used to host an In Person Training every single month. In 2020, we pivoted to online only like the rest of the world and then found a perfect path for all students.Through a lot of trial and error, we found it was best for students to start with our Signature Online 8 Week Training and then have the opportunity to come to a graduate only In Person Training if they wish, as well as have the ability to join our ongoing program, Academy. We've documented and been pretty open about this trial and error all along, which brings in a lot of questions from people asking things like "how did you start ____?" or "how did you know it was the right time to ____?" or "how can I make sure I do ____ correctly?"And we totally get it.

Heart to Heart with Kat: Why Skills Are More Important Than Strategy
Have you ever felt like you're being pulled in a million different directions when it comes to strategy in your business?We call it strategy skipping syndrome. As a business owner, it's easy to get caught up in this because you see what other people are doing and you want to try it too.But what happens when that strategy dies out? When it loses it flame and there's something new? Are you equipped to take on the new thing? Do you have the required SKILL to insert into a strategy of any kind?What we know is that strategy without a certain skill is pointless - and the skill we're talking about are SALES SKILLS. PEOPLE SKILLS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS.Those are the skills that you can carry with you into any strategy you choose and it can actually work for you.In this episode, Kat talks about a recent experience we had when learning a new strategy and a few roadblocks we ran into.

The last few weeks, we've been talking quite a bit about enrollment for GUIDE Culture’s Winter Cohort. We’ve been chatting with a lot of people in DM’s and answering a lot of questions to give people clarity on whether or not GUIDE Culture is a good fit for them right now.Having these conversations is so fun because we get to hear about where you’re at in your business journey and where you want to go and then help you identify what you might be missing to really get there.While having these convos in DM’s is wonderful, we always wish that more people could hear our responses, so Kat and I decided to sit down and just talk through some common scenarios we're hearing.If you've been interested in GUIDE Culture, but have some lingering questions before enrolling, that's exactly what this episode is for!IMPORTANT DATES:January 25th - Live Viewing Party of Session 1 with Macy and KatAll Winter Cohor

Why People Buy: Is It You or The Prices?
WORKSHOP CALL TODAY 📣 January 28, 2022 @ 12pm ETA few weeks ago on Instagram, we received a question that said: "I’ve noticed that several coaching/leadership programs are sharing their pricing on Instagram now, when in the past it was just their website. What’s the thinking behind this? Is their a price too high to share?"This question was in response to a story that we shared of GUIDE Culture's Signature Online Training price and payment plan options and it's a great question!Chances are if you're in the online space, you've likely been told to "keep people curious" or "don't share the price until they ask."A lot of people have been trained to get people on a sales call first so they can build the value of the price before sharing it.Either way, we have some thoughts and it all comes down to your money mindset.

Pricing "Premium" Products
Recently, we received a DM on Instagram asking us, "what made you guys decide to price GUIDE Culture at a premium price?"This question sort of made us tilt our head, because we honestly believe that GUIDE Culture is fairly priced.Which is why in this episode, Macy and Kat talk about the journey of landing on GUIDE Culture's price and ultimately the importance of your money mindset as a business owner.The thing is, if you perceive your product as "premium" and walk around believing that it's hard to get or achieve, then that's exactly what you'll project onto prospects.The way you feel about money will undoubtedly come off to others, so it's vital that you develop a mindset of knowing that you can help people and that your price is worth it.MENTIONS:January Workshop Call - Why People Buy: Is It You or The Prices?

We're gearing up for our In Person Training coming up this week for our GUIDE Culture Graduates and feeling super excited because we're live streaming a portion of the training to our graduates who aren't attending AND giving them a chance to grab their seat for the 2023 In Person Training. Through conversation recently, we've noticed that a lot of people are only thinking about “how can I learn” not “how can I perform”?And there's a massive difference.People say that they're setting aside money intentionally to invest in themselves and in their business, which is a great thing, but then the question becomes: is personal development enough?Think about the last time you attended a conference. Were you just another person in the crowd? Did you sit and take notes and then return to your everyday life?That's typically how it goes. You aren't being seen by people. You

Objections. You either love 'em or hate 'em. And if you tend to shy away from them in your business or feel uncomfortable handling them when people throw them your way, chances are you simply haven't learned how to properly handle them confidently.The good news is that can be learned. Recently we've been playing with a new style of content on Instagram where we interview each other without knowing the questions so the answers come from the heart in the moment.This podcast episode is similar to that - Macy asks Kat a few questions regarding objections specifically in hopes of providing a perspective shift when it comes to objections and help you feel more confident and skilled in handling them.MENTIONS:Follow Up FlowSignature Online 8-Week Sales + Leadership TrainingEnrollment is NOW OPEN for the Winter Cohort 2022. <a href='https://guid

Hey GUIDE Culture fam! Kat here.Just the other day, I was getting my hair done and I found out just how busy hair salons are this time of year.Now in December, I feel like a lot of people describe this season as "busy." And most people truly are. You've got the dress up days at your child's school, the class parties, the dance recitals, the Christmas plays and not to mention all of the end of year things in your business.With the busy season, a lot of people choose to push "extra" things off until January.In the hair salon, I was having a conversation with my stylist and she was telling me how they recently completed a training for a new skill and how they were originally going to put it off, but decided to go ahead and take a day to complete it. As it turns out, completing this training made the entire salon feel more energized and excited about their busy season. And that's exactly what

Recently, I've been in a lot of conversation with people that are interested in GUIDE Culture, but they keep saying things like, "I want to make sure it's the right time."I totally get it, because I also like to make sure the timing is right for certain things in my life. What's interesting about knowing sales skills, is that you want to be prepared BEFORE you need them. In this episode, I share an experience I had before I really knew sales skills and how I completely crashed and burned. I wasn't prepared and it showed. Looking back I can now see how that was honestly one of the best things that could've happened to me. It was low risk and I was able to go truly learn so that it never happened again.

Unfulfilled? Why It's Normal And How To Fix It
Have you heard of The Great Resignation? Also known as the Big Quit, The Great Resignation is the ongoing trend of employees voluntarily leaving their jobs.It's not because they aren't getting paid well or that they absolutely hate where they're at, but rather people are feeling unsettled, unfulfilled and purposeless with the work they're doing and they're seeking that elsewhere. This phenomena really started after the onset of 2020 and one of the key factors that we believe contributes to this the most is the missing piece of connection. In this episode, Macy and Kat dive into how connection can really play a huge part in your fulfillment no matter where you're at and how micro-interactions make a huge difference in your day to day.REMINDERS:Signature Online 8-Week Sales + Leadership TrainingEnrollment is NOW OPEN for the Winter Cohort 2022. <a href='https://guideculture.co/enroll2

My husband and I have been church shopping lately, which means I'm having a lot of first time interactions, specifically with the nursery staff, since we're dropping off our 6 month old son while we attend the service. I've had 2 veryyyyy different experiences in the last few weeks, which has got me so fired up about why ministry is the most important sales job of all.For those that don't know, my last job was in ministry and when I pivoted to sales, I quickly realized how important it is that people in ministry (in any capacity - volunteers, pastors, leaders, speakers, etc.) know sales skills and create a sales culture within their organization.This really goes for any industry so even if you aren't in ministry, tune in to hear the principles of what I'm saying!MENTIONS:POP UP COACHING WORKSHOP: Perfect Your Pitch 📣WHAT: 1 hour call with Macy McNeely + Kathryn Sh

Have you ever needed to do something that you reallllyyyyy don't want to do and it takes everything in you just to get through it?A few universal things that come to mind are:➡️ yearly taxes ➡️ going to the DMV➡️ filling out your child's school paper work➡️ dentist/doctor appointments➡️ grocery shopping (you either love it or you hate it 🤣)And of course we all have our own things in our life and business that we HAVE to do, but we really don't enjoy.These are the things that you might put off until the last minute or, if it's something that can't wait, you find any and every distraction while you're doing it.They're the things that we just have to fight through so they can be marked off the list.What's so interesting is that a lot of times, what's more exhausting than just doing the thing is half doing it and purposefully getting distracted during it.Sur

Feeling Unseen? Good News!
As an entrepreneur or business owner, chances are you've experienced seasons where you're doing a TON of underground, behind the scenes work. The not-so-sexy work that people don't see. The work that doesn't get you noticed or recognized - you feel totally unseen.And then there's seasons where you're feeling on top of the world. You have things figured out, your content is on point, people are connecting with you and you feel highly motivated. And thennnnn that fire burns out. You're suddenly riding a rollercoaster of motivation and inspiration and aren't sure how to get on that steady, consistent ground that you dream of.If you resonate with either of those scenarios, first you should know you're not alone. These are both normal seasons of business ownership - but they don't have to be where you live forever.In this episode, Kat gives you some encouraging and clarifying words and tangible tips

If you're a business owner or entrepreneur, selling a product or service, you've probably thought a time or two about how you're going to scale what you have.Maybe you have an online course or passive product, but you still desire a level of hands on experience for each of your students or customers.Maybe your product has the potential to reach wayyyy more people, but your time feels capped.Whatever the case, there is absolutely a way for you to scale what you have without YOU having to be the one to do it alllll.In this episode specifically, we sit down with Sara Stapleton, GUIDE Culture's Head of Coaches, to talk about how we've reconciled similar issues with our coach program.When GUIDE Culture first started, Loy Day (Creator and Co-Founder) said that the only way this would work is if the students could get coached throughout their training.

Clarifying Your Beliefs
In business, the word belief is thrown around a lot and feels very general. So much so that you might not really know what it means or you gloss over it without giving it much thought. A few months ago, we held an event at GC HQ called 3x Your Leads where we dove into this idea of belief in a few different ways and recently received a DM from an attendee asking:"I love what you guys said about believing in yourself, product and it's value and KNOWING that it will work for someone. My question is - what if it doesn't and/or what do you do if it doesn't and how might that impact your belief?"In this episode, Kat answers this question about belief from 3 different standpoints: belief in yourself, your product and your products value. You probably already know that you need belief in each of those things, and if you have a business or plan to have one one day, you likely ALREADY have certain beliefs.For

Fall 2021 Launch Debrief: What We're Starting, Stopping and Keeping
We just wrapped up our last launch of the year and enrolled almost 60 new students into the GUIDE Culture Fall 2021 Cohort.This launch was much different than what we've experienced in the past for a few reasons and in this episode, Macy and Kat walk you through the entire thing. They share what we did differently and from that they share what went well and what didn't. They also give insight to the big lessons learned so we know what to start, stop and keep for the future.One of the main takeaways from this episode (and from the launch in general) is that, like many things in life, it's a time game. Often times people require a little bit of time to get to know you before they feel comfortable buying from you.This concept goes back to a major principle that we teach in GUIDE Culture, called GRIT. Now, I'm sure you've heard about grit before, but for us it's an acronym that means:G - Growth MindsetR - Reas

What strategy should I implement?We totally get it, because there is SO much advice coming at you when you own a business and it feels like none of the advice is the same.One person says to run ads. One says to run funnels. One says to create passive products and sell them on evergreen. Another person says to live launch with webinars. Oh! You could do one live launch and then evergreen it.

If you're a solo business owner, chances are you know that feeling of the sales being all on YOU.Not only do you have to worry about filling seats to your program, but you have to make payroll if you have employees, you have to pay your contractors, you have to get yourself out of debt and you have to do allllll of that before you can even think about paying yourself.The solution to YOU not carrying all of the weight might sound simple - just bring on a partner so they can carry it with you. And it makes sense why you might think that - because 2 brains are stronger than 1... right?Well, not always. It has to be the RIGHT brain! And what we mean by that is the person must know how to sell. Bringing on a partner to handle the backend of the business or manage finances is helpful, but won't lift the weight of the sales - essentially, the health of the business will still be on YOU.In this podcast episode, Macy and Kat sit dow

We work with a lot of business owners and a lot of time we'll hear them say that they think they need to hire a business coach or possibly a service provider, but they aren't sure which to do first. And as business owners ourselves, we get it - you of course want to invest in the right thing at the right time.The key to this is really knowing the difference between all of your possibilities - a business coach, a service provider or a course/training.We've been in situations before where we truly didn't know what we needed at the time and made the wrong investment - it's not a fun place to be in and can be totally frustrating when all you want is for your business to grow.Because of that, Kat takes the time in this episode to really differentiate between the 3 - business coach, service provider and a training - so you can feel confident in where you invest next.MENTIONS:FREE Masterclass o

Are You Marketing or Going to Market?
Are you “playing” business or are you IN business? There's a big difference! The truth is, you're only IN business when you are exchanging value with someone else.Think about this way:Would you rather buy from the person that stays tucked away behind their computer perfecting the label and editing their branding to make sure everything looks perfect BEFORE they go to market (aka go sell the thing)ORWould you rather buy from the person that takes their 80% perfect product with the imperfect branding and packaging to market and sells with their heart?The second person is someone who knows that they have something that people need and they know they can’t wait any longer to get it out there because there’s too many lives to change.Here's the thing: the behind the scenes work will never end. It will always be there. Something will always need to be updated and tweaked. But none of that matters if you aren’t taking w

Bonus Episode: Is Consistency Enough?
As an entrepreneur or business owner, you've probably heard the advice of "just be consistent."It seems like that is what all of the experts and gurus are telling you - that if you are consistent and keep showing up then your business will grow.And while there is a level of truth to that, because yes consistency is important, we have to ask you: is consistency alone enough?Is consistency all it really takes to get where you want to go? In this episode, Kat is arguing that it is NOT. And here's why: think about a plane that takes off in Texas heading to New York. If the pilot is just 1 degree off, they could land in Ohio. Just because they're consistent throughout the flight does not mean they're heading in the right direction. They must be consistent in the right direction.SPECIFIC consistency is what matters - in your business and in your life.Because without specific consist

The 70/30 Rule
All too often people ask us: "what do I need to DOOOO?!"What they're asking is what actions do they need to take in order for their business to "work."What are the step by step instructions they need to follow so that sales come in and their business grows.And all of that is great because as a business owner you of course have to DO certain things in order to see growth and experience the success that you desire.What's really interesting and often looked over is that who you ARE is far more important. When you decide who you are going to BE, the actions that you DO naturally follow.Which is why in this episode Macy and Kat are diving into the BE-DO-HAVE model and give great insight to the type of person that you must be as a business owner.After that, they dive into HOW you can do this well with the tangible takeaway that we call the 70/30 rule.MENTIONS:

How Do I Make My Offer Irresistible?
Something we get asked a lot from online business owners is, "how do I make my offer irresistible?" What they're typically asking is: what can I ADD to my offer so that people see it as a no brainer?And we totally get it, because perceived value is a thing. Which brings up the question - do you want your offer to be PERCEIVED as valuable or do you want it to ACTUALLY be valuable when you get it into the hands of your people?What's interesting and super important to realize is that INFORMATION does not equal TRANSFORMATION.Knowledge alone is useless. It's not until that knowledge is applied that people actually win.Which is the very reason that giving more, more, more isn't exactly the answer to making your offer irresistible.Instead of asking: what do I need to add to my offer so that it's irresistible, start asking yourself: what does it ACTUALLY take for someone

Can You 'Reel' Your Way Into Growing A Business?
As an online business owner, there's so much coming at you at once that it can get a little foggy when it comes to where you should be spending your time.And it makes sense because when you hear 'online business' the first things you think of are the things that are, well... ONLINE.Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, podcast, website, alllll of those things.And THESE are typically the things that you hear all the experts and gurus talking about and telling you to focus on - you know, so you can get more exposure, go viral and be omnipresent.So then, you start to think about all of the things needed for those individual online platforms.Branding colors, logo, pretty pictures, perfect Canva graphics, aesthetically pleasing grids.Because of all this, you might be tempted to start spending all of your time THERE.

If You Feel Like You Need More Eyeballs To Make More Sales
Have you ever felt like the ONLY way to make more sales is to grow your following?We hear this a lot when we work with business owners and entrepreneurs.

If You've Ever Said: "I'm Not a Good Closer"
"I can't seem to close the sale after someone shows interest."⤴️ that's a common response we received recently when we asked our audience what their biggest struggle was in their business. And maybe you can relate - you're really good at posting and sharing knowledge and information, but then you can't seem to make the sale.What's interesting (and often what people don't realize) is that during the sales process, you're actually closing more often than you think.CLOSE EARLY + CLOSE OFTEN is the name of the game which is why in this episode Macy talks about:What a close really is (it's not as hard or scary as you might think)The 2 different types of closes & how to utilize each effectivelySomething you can try TODAY in your own sales conversationsMENTIONS:GUIDE Culture's Fall Cohort opens on August 30th!

How to Confidently Control Conversations
Have you ever asked someone a question and they answer based on why they think you're asking, but they don't actually address the reason that you're really asking?For example: let's say you're car shopping and you ask the car salesman the length of a car before buying it. They may assume it's because you are worried about the space in the back because you have kids, so they answer based on that assumption. When in reality, you may just need to make sure it'll fit in your garage.If they would apply this one simple concept it could totally change the way they have conversations - and that concept is CLARIFYING QUESTIONS!These scenarios could be happening in your sales conversations without you even realizing it, which could be resulting in people walking away from your offer. Incorporating clarifying questions is one of the easiest ways you can confidently control conversations, in your life and in your

If You've Ever Said, "I Don't Work For Anyone"
People who work for themselves often think they work for nobody. The TRUTH is that they work for everyone.⬆️ that's a comment we heard just the other day on Clubhouse and we couldn't agree more.This concept is what we call having an Agent Mentality because, by definition, an agent is simply someone who represents another. The spirit of an agent is incredibly powerful when you truly think about it.It's an obligation to conduct business with the well-being of the principal who has appointed that agent to do so. As a salesperson, business owner or entrepreneur, you have obligations to your clients and customers and embracing the Agent Mentality can truly set you apart in your industry.

Creating Team Culture and Defining Your Owner's Intent with Casey Graham
"Why do you really own this business?"That's the one question that Casey Graham, co-founder and CEO of Gravy Solutions, believes that all entrepreneurs and business owners should ask themselves in order to develop their Owner's Intent.So, what exactly is an Owner's Intent? It's a single sentence that answers that question above. It's not just a surface level answer. It requires you going 5 layers deep and asking yourself why you REALLY do what do you.That's how a true culture in your business will be created, because once you know WHY you do what you do, all of your decisions and actions will stem from that. Defining your Owner's Intent really helps you determine what you really want for your life and then taking a look to see if your current actions match up to get you there.Owner's Intent is just one nugget you'll get out of this episode with Casey Graham.Tun

The $12K IG Story: How to Get More People to Take Action Without Spending More Time Selling
Have you ever felt like when you communicate with people they just aren't picking up what you're putting down? Maybe you use Instagram stories to talk to your audience, but the words you're saying just aren't hitting, meaning people aren't coming to you with questions, much less taking action (aka buying your offer).Or maybe when you're on sales calls, eyes are glazed over and you're left wondering "WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!"Here's the thing: everyone has a different buying style. And because of that, everyone requires something different in order to make a buying decision. Some need more details, some need more connection, others just want you to get to the point.And I know what you might be thinking: "GREAT! Now, I've gotta figure out how to talk to alllll of those people - this is going to take so much more time."We get it - we also want to make sure we'r

The 75% of People You Might Be Missing: How to Know and How to Fix It
“After I get people interested, I can’t get them to convert into customers.”“I struggle to create content that gets people interested.”“I know what I have can help people, but I just can’t quite get that across.”A few months back we sent out a survey to see what people are struggling with most when it comes to sales and those ⬆️ were some of the common things we kept hearing…And what's interesting is that all of those statements have 1️⃣ thing in common:It all comes down to MISSING the signals that someone is sending to you.You see, the information that you might be giving to someone, isn’t necessarily the information they need to hear to click the buy button.

Your Scaling Gap
If you're an online business owner or entrepreneur that sees clients 1:1, you may realize that a lot of your clients have the same problem, or even if they don't have the same problem, maybe you've noticed that you keep giving them very similar solutions.This is totally normal because as the professional, no matter the industry, you're typically going to see similar types of people. That's just how it works!Overtime, as you grow and help people get results, you may find that you actually don't need to see people 1:1 in order to continue helping them. So maybe you want to start a course or launch some sort of automated program to give them the same information without actually coaching or teaching them live, real time, face to face.But then, the question of "How do I sell them on the fact that they DON'T need me 1:1?" comes up.

The Truth About Time and Money Objections
As an entrepreneur selling your product or service, have you ever gotten the “I’m too busy” or “I can’t afford it” objection? I'm sure you have! They’re easily the most common objections people give when they’re not able to make a purchase.The question is: are these objections even real?The truth is, sometimes people use these objections to protect themselves from buying from you! They have an idea of what your product or service is, they think they might want it and it's easier to say "I don't have time" or "It's too expensive" than it is for them to dig deeper into what your product or service can really do for them.And that's where you, the professional, come in!In this podcast episode, Kat is walking you through how to determine if the time and money objections are even real, how you can handle them if they are AND how you can avoid them all together.

I’ve invested in branding. I’ve invested in email marketing. I’ve invested in a social media coach. I’ve invested in a website - and I haven’t seen that money come back. So I can’t invest in myself anymore until I do.”And listen, we get it.

The One Important Thing You Might be Missing in Your Sales
If you sell a product or service, you might be in a place where you feel like you can't quite get your audience excited about what you do. Maybe you're making sales, but it isn't happening frequently enough for you to hit the goals you have for yourself. If this is you, there might be something missing and it probably isn't what you think...The truth is, you already have the right audience. The product or service itself isn't the problem either. The problem might be that you don't have enough knowledge about what you do or what you offer. Product knowledge, though it might sound like the most boring thing ever, it is actually the thing that will help you stand out in your market, make you the expert and help people recognize that they need what you have.
