Check out my new course Sales Simplified: 7 Weeks to Selling with Confidence

-----------------------------

If you've been showing up online, creating content, engaging on social media, and still not seeing sales—this episode is for you. In today’s episode of Grow My Business, we’re digging into the real reason your business isn’t growing... and it’s probably not what you think.

If you are getting leads, it's not your marketing. It's sales that's the problem.

• The difference between sales and marketing—and why it matters

• Three signs your sales process is holding you back

• What to do if you hate follow-up or feel “salesy”

• How to build a simple, confident sales conversation that converts

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start closing sales, join Sales Simplified: 7 Weeks to Selling with Confidence — the self-paced course designed to help small business owners close more sales without burnout or pressure.

Today's episode is all about my new course Sales Simplified - it's FINALLY here! It's be a labor of love, and I'm extremely proud of this course.

This course is for small business owners and their teams who:

• are doing all the marketing things (posting, showing up online, showing up in person, networking, etc.), but not seeing sales
• get a lead and then freeze because you don't want to be "salesy" or "pushy"
• have never learned sales psychology or process of sales

Sound like you???

Sales Simplified was design for small business owners who want to stop running on the marketing hampster wheel of death and want to start making an income.
