Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs [FFL 397] How to Sell During a Crisis
Are people buying during COVID-19? Is it even okay to sell during a global pandemic? These are the sales questions plaguing many female entrepreneurs in this time of panic and uncertainty. It is crucial to reflect on whether the stories we tell ourselves about whether we are “allowed” to do business are serving us, or whether they are derailing our potential to thrive amidst the chaos.
In today’s episode, I discuss whether female entrepreneurs should amp up or relax their sales efforts in response to the coronavirus pandemic. I discuss how to approach the situation with a CEO mindset and follow through with the responsibility you have to your business. I also highlight how you can be creative with selling and how to refine your messaging and find ways to connect your offer to what people need right now.
