Selling With Integrity: Beliefs

Profitable Joyful Consulting

On the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, I teach you how to increase your profits and enjoy your business more. In this episode, you’ll learn how to sell with integrity and finally feel good about selling.

I was inspired to talk about this by a sales meeting I had with someone this week where I was in the position of being sold to. I'd brought my husband to hear about a program I was super excited about, and I asked the person running it to tell us a little more about the program.

He stammered for a minute and then said, “Well, this isn't a predatory call.”

I thought that’s weird. Why would he use that word? Because I’m really excited and I want to enroll.

The program had three levels, and I asked him to tell us more about that and so he did. Eventually, I said, ‘Wow, this is so exciting. When can I enroll and how does that work?”

He said again, “Well, this isn’t a predatory call.”

Again, I was just stopped in my tracks.

I thought I'm not a gazelle. I don't feel like I'm being preyed upon. I came to this to hear more about the program because I want to buy it.

It was clear that he really didn't want to look as if he were selling us something. But what happened was actually worse:

We can’t even start talking about selling with integrity until we understand our limiting beliefs. That’s where we start in this episode - with working through your limiting beliefs about selling. In this episode, you’ll discover:

If you’ve ever said, “I hate selling,” this episode is for you. I can’t promise that you’ll LOVE selling when you’re done listening. But I do think you’ll have a fresh perspective.
