Sell Like a Mutha

The Problem with “Blinders” ... it reminds me of a story I would share with my sales teams.Have you ever said “I’m just going to put blinders on and work through this”?My grandmother used to say “keep your nose in the books” and to me that translated to “just focus on what YOU’RE doing” (a.k.a don’t get distracted)!!The goal is to get “it” done but...You also need to know when it’s time to stop.If you don’t have a sales goal — you don’t know when it’s time to stop.If you don’t have anyone looking out for you (watching out for your blind spots) — you don’t know when it’s time to stop.If you don’t have something to look forward to ONCE you are “done” - you don’t know when it’s time to stop.I have been an entrepreneur — running my own profitable companies— since 1996.I have sold millions of dollars in “invisible” services for BIG companies and private startups alike. I have taught thousands of freelancers (web designers, virtual assistants, ads managers) to sell for themselves with confidence and kindness.One pattern repeats itself over and over - you’ve got to know “when” enough is enough.Write down a sales goal.Hire someone you trust to cover your blind spots.Have an “Next Steps” plan.If you need help, start here: www.reneehribar.com/linksYou don’t have to do this alone.*********************************************Renee Hribar has been a sales professional since 1994 in New York.

Getting Visible VS. Converting Visibility into Paying ClientsLet's continue the conversation → www.reneehribar.co/trainingThe age-old debate!!When we first start out (or are pivoting) it's easy to feel like the BEST KEPT SECRET.Often times this is the reason we accept as the TRUTH that we are not getting the clients our business needs to thrive.To avoid spending 100% of your time on sales activities focus on ONE piece of content each week.My BEST advice:One Piece of ANCHOR CONTENT each week.a. Podcastb. Blogc. LIVE Videod. Something elseHave you been getting people on the phone but not converting them into paying clients?Have they said things like:a. That's expensiveb. I'm talking to a few other peoplec.

Escape the Waiting Game: Your Answer to Proposal LimboI sent the proposal but haven’t heard back...--> There are a few key strategies that work.1. Deadline with the proposal. “This offer at this price is valid through________”2. Set up a quick check-in call before the initial Discovery call is over if you have not accepted payment over the phone already. Law of Diminishing intent — once you hang up that phone the ROI depreciates daily.3. Asking different questions before and during a Discovery call. For example: If you were to find the perfect solution, what is the timeline? (They May say “well, we’d like to start in January” — then that would change my deadline)Deadlines are meant to help bring in consistent work for you so that you have enough to support your growing company but not too much at once where you are scrambling to deliver on time and having to hire temporary contractors who may not have been vetted properly.If you are a woman business owner who is ready to connect with new paying clients and deliver stellar results again and again but have tried selling and it just didn't work for you . . . it's not your fault.You probably didn't have the right person explain it to you!Take the next step TODAY and grab my free sales training: https://www.reneehribar.co/training*********************************************Renee Hribar has been a sales professional since 1994 in New York.

What Innovators Do That Others Completely Miss (the cure for “average”) INNOVATION: What is it? It’s the ability to look at what you already have in a new way. We often don’t need more skills, or more raw materials. What we need to do is step back and reevaluate what we HAVE and look at it from a NEW perspective. I’ll take you through an exercise I do with my clients regularly:What do you want the outcome to be?  What is it currently? What do you already have to work with? This last one is the REAL key to innovation. It’s not INVENTION. There are plenty of inventors out there that never see their beautiful, amazing, incredible invention put to use. With innovators — the USE (outcome) is already built in. 💡Did this connect with you? Take the next step TODAY and grab my free sales training: https://www.reneehribar.co/training*********************************************Renee Hribar has been a sales professional since 1994 in New York.
