77. 3 questions to ask if your offer is not selling | sales for small business

Check out my new course Sales Simplified: 7 Weeks to Selling with Confidence
-------------------------
Welcome back to Grow My Business, where we talk about how to grow your business with real sales strategies (not just more social media posts).
This is Episode 77, and we’re tackling a question I hear all the time: “Why isn’t my offer selling?”
You’ve posted about it. You’ve talked about it. You’ve put it on your website. You might’ve even run some ads or tried a launch… And still—crickets. No sales. No traction. Just silence.
I know how frustrating that can feel. Today, I want to take the mystery out of it. More often than not, it’s not that your offer is “bad” or that no one wants it—it’s just that something small is out of alignment.
Listen for these 3 common check points to see if one of these is out of whack:
1. Are you solving a real problem?
2. Is your messaging clear and confident?
3. Are you actually sell it? (Not just marketing it.)
 
If you’re nodding along and thinking, “OK, this is me,”—don’t worry. This is fixable.
In fact, this is exactly what I teach inside my course:
Sales Simplified: 7 Weeks to Selling with Confidence
Inside, I walk you through:
Clarifying your offer
Communicating it clearly
Learning how to talk about it (without feeling awkward)
And building a simple, repeatable system to sell it
