Business of Story #112: How to Sell Without Feeling Salesy with Your Brand Stories
We all have tremendous difficulty making a request.
It’s a humbling experience for everyone; you’re exposing your vulnerability to a person who has what you need. You may feel that your message is so compelling that customers will immediately decide to get involved, but almost always, they need a direct invitation.
Today’s show will be breaking down the structure of an offer, and teach you how to get the sale without being “salesy.”
Joining us is Dustin Mathews, co-founder of Speaking Empire, and author of No B.S. Guide to Powerful Presentations: How to Sell Anything with Webinars & Online Media, Speeches, and Seminars. Dustin is an expert in creating an attractive request and will teach you his “patented” Irresistible Offer Architecture: a 9-Step Process will help you sell anything without feeling like you're selling at all.
Are you sold? Let’s go.
