Running a business can be tough. It can be even more difficult if your friends and family don’t believe in the work you’re doing. The people that you surround yourself with can make a huge difference in your productivity and your success. So if you have critics around you, it can keep  you feeling stuck and discouraged instead of moving forward.    If you’ve struggled with getting support from the people you care about the most, you aren’t alone.  I hear this same scenario described by countless entrepreneurs. In this episode, I dive into this topic and drop some truth bombs about what may or may not be an actual lack of support. By the end of this episode you’ll know what you can do to communicate in a way that enables your entire network to provide you with the meaningful support that you need!   This episode is for you if you want to hear about: My family’s reactions when I told them I quit my job as a lawyer to become a dating coach The four mistakes entrepreneurs make that keep them from getting support The mindset shift that took my client from being ready to leave her marriage or shut down her business, to increasing her business profits by 75% in just six months while receiving incredible support from her husband who became her biggest advocate Tangible actions you can start taking today to help you get the support you really want - Watch this week’s TV episode of the Rita Goodroe Show with my guest/husband Chuck Goodroe!   Join me in my FREE private Facebook community, the All-In entrepreneur: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theallinentrepreneur/   Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ritagoodroe 

How do you feel about sales calls? Love them or hate them? It honestly doesn't matter how you think you're showing up on the call. If you’re not excited, the person on the other end of the call will not be excited either, which means you will not make the sale.   In this episode, I share how I went from dreading sales calls to truly being excited for them. It is important to understand the definition of what a sales call is and why you need to have a relationship marketing strategy that moves people into awareness and then through the consideration stage. This way, by the time they get on the call, they already know you're good at what you do. Learn how to love your sales call process so that you can convert more sales calls with ease, get more clients, generate more money, and ultimately have a bigger result.     This episode is for you if you want to learn:   My definition of a sales call How to find the solution for why you’re not completing the sale Why you shouldn’t give away too much information and problem solve on a sales call Why it’s not a sales call problem, but a VALUE problem How to have an easy and effortless sales call due to effective marketing that has built relationships and inbound leads     Join the waitlist!
