Coming soon: Small group sales coaching w/ Ramit (limited seats)

Reader,

One of the most impactful skills I've learned in growing my business — and growing my confidence in general — is how to sell.

At work, you’re selling ideas. You have to persuade the people around you to see your vision.

At home, you’re selling EXCITEMENT! Who wants to live a boring life? Hey, let’s try this new thing. What? It sounds weird? Let me show (sell) you on why we should consider this.

In life, you’re even selling yourself. I should read this book — it could change my life. I should try this new food, this new workout...

You can learn how to sell better.

Today I can hop on IG Live, a podcast, a call with a reporter or even open up a Google Doc and tell a compelling, persuasive story. I can write an email and know it will motivate people to take action, whether it's to join a course, donate to a cause, or just pause and ask themselves a tough question.

But this wasn't always the case.

Rewind back to late 2006. I was launching my 2007 Guide to Kicking Ass:

I was also petrified.

I had been blogging for years, without selling anything, and now I was afraid people were going to call me a sellout. You can see it in my cowardly, apologetic copy. (When I look at it today, I cringe.)

I had such low self-esteem that I didn't even set up a fulfillment system. Meaning that when people bought it, I was just going to watch the PayPal order come in and send them an email with the PDF attached.

It's crazy to think about, but I really didn't think anyone was going to buy!

But much to my surprise, people did buy.

I didn't make millions of sales, but I did sell enough to see that running a business online has potential. And that if I got better at selling, I might be able to turn IWT into a sizable business.

Fast forward several years to when I sold a $12,000 product. No cowardly excuses here. I was just totally upfront about what I had to offer. I was confident. I said, “This is probably not right for you. Here’s why. Boom. And here’s the select group that I’m looking for. No harm done if you don’t buy.”

I mean, just think about that. So different, you wouldn’t believe it. And I got more complaints about the $5 e-book than the $12,000 product.

This is the power of AUTHENTIC sales.

Knowing how to promote yourself and your business is one of a very short list of must-have skills for any business owner.

And like all skills, it can be learned.

In a few weeks, I'll be teaching a very small, hand-picked group of people how to grow their business with Authentic Sales.

This is the only way to get direct feedback from me on building your sales skills.

Most business owners limit their growth because they're afraid of selling. Or they aren't sure how to do it well. They don't want to come across as sleazy or scare away their followers.

Those are valid concerns, but they shouldn't keep you from learning how to sell.

EVERY successful business is built on sales.

Whether you're selling by phone, by webinar, in email, or on Instagram — if you don't master the learnable skill of selling, you're going to have a very difficult time growing your business.

It's as simple as that.

Having a great product and lots of knowledge isn’t enough. To grow your online business, you need to be comfortable with selling your products and promoting yourself.

There is good news: Sales can be LEARNED. And it can be AUTHENTIC. (And when you know what you're doing, it can even be fun.)

If you're uncomfortable selling your products or unhappy with your sales results, this workshop is for you. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with me in a private, online, small-group setting and get personalized help to drastically improve your selling skills.
