When you think of the word “sales”, what else comes up? “Icky”, “sleazy” or “pushy”, perhaps? If you find yourself cringing when you think of selling, it really doesn’t have to (and shouldn’t!) be that way. We’re all running businesses, and sales are an essential part of that – we need to make money! Looking at sales from another angle is key to shifting your mindset in the right direction towards getting comfortable with selling. Our guest today has the perfect “salesy” mindset and is really someone who embodies everything good about sales and proves that selling doesn’t have to feel horrible.
Joining us for today’s episode is Sandra van der Lee, owner of 2 online businesses, rehabilitated digital nomad, unapologetically salesy and your ride-or-die business bestie. She’s the person to message when you are ready to own your expertise and start selling it.
