694. Selling Your Physical Products Isn’t Manipulation—It’s an Act of Service

Hey hey, Product Bosses! Let’s talk about something that so many product-based business owners feel but don’t always admit: the fear that selling is somehow sleazy. Maybe you’ve hesitated to send that email, post on social, or make the offer because you didn’t want to come off pushy. I’ve been there—and I’ve heard it over and over again from our students. But here’s the truth I want you to take in today: selling isn’t manipulation, it’s service.In this episode, I walk you through how to shift from shame to service by seeing selling not as something you do to someone, but for them. When you truly understand your customer’s needs, when your product solves a problem or fulfills a desire, not sharing it becomes the real disservice. You’ll hear me share real examples, practical mindset shifts, and how to align your brand and message so your product speaks directly to your ideal customer’s heart.If you’re ready to stop hiding and start selling with purpose, this episode will speak right to your soul. Let’s build that bridge between your customer and your product—because the solution they need might be the one you’re afraid to offer. And if you want to go even deeper, doors are open to Standout Society! I’d love to welcome you in.Resources:Join me inside Standout Society and get the clarity your business deserves.Join our mailing list for access to additional training and support to turn your business into the best it can be.Consistent content is key to getting more people to see and buy your products.

692. The Real Reason Product Business Sales Feel Hard (and How to Make a Profit)

Hey hey, Product Bosses! I know what it’s like to be out there posting, emailing, launching, and still wondering why the sales just aren’t coming in. In this episode, I’m getting real with you about why your business might feel like an uphill battle—and no, it’s not because you’re not working hard enough. It’s because you might be missing clarity—in your brand, your message, and your customer connection.I share a personal story of a time when I thought I had done everything right for a launch—but it flopped. It wasn’t until I got super clear on who I was talking to, what I wanted to be known for, and how my product was different, that things started to turn around. And I didn’t change the product—I changed the message.This is your reminder that you’re not broken and your business isn’t either. You might just be at a turning point. So if you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start selling with more confidence and ease, I’ve got you. Plus, if you’re ready to take this work even deeper, the doors are open to Standout Society—my signature program to help you build a brand that truly stands out.Resources:Join me inside Standout Society and get the clarity your business deserves.Join our mailing list for access to additional training and support to turn your business into the best it can be.Consistent content is key to getting more people to see and buy your products.

689. “I Launched My Product-Based Business… So Why Aren’t Sales Coming In?” | Coaching Session with Ashley of Saints & Ivy

Hey hey, Product Bosses! In this week’s coaching session, I sit down with Ashley Terrell, founder of the children’s pajama brand Saints & Ivy, who’s navigating the early stages of her product launch. Like many of you, Ashley launched a beautiful product with heart and purpose—but found herself stuck when sales didn’t follow. She came to me with questions like: “Why isn’t anyone buying?” and “What should I post on social media?”Together, we uncover that this isn’t a product or price problem—it’s an awareness problem. So many small businesses struggle with this exact hurdle. Ashley and I work through a visibility strategy, starting with defining her ideal customer and then using the ABCs of content (Attract, Bond, Convert) to build a rhythm for her brand on social media. It’s not about posting more, it’s about posting with purpose.Ashley’s mission to bring culturally inclusive, representation-rich pajamas to the market is powerful—and what she needed most was for people to see it. In this episode, I help her connect the dots between product, brand voice, and customer identity. If you're building a business rooted in heart and impact, this episode will give you the roadmap to get visible, build connection, and ultimately boost sales.Resources:Learn more about Ashley’s line of sleepwear here.Follow Saints and Ivy on Instagram by clicking here.Join our mailing list for access to additional training and support to turn your business into the best it can be.Consistent content is key to getting more people to see and buy your products.
