8. Sales & Marketing Strategy | 3 Ways to Get Your Small Business Noticed

Hello!  Welcome back to Small Business Sales & Strategy!  In today's episode, we are talking about sales and marketing strategy and I'm on a little bit of a soap box.  There is this misconception in business that we can slap up a website and/or open the doors to a business and the right people will just find you and show up to buy. Well, that is absolutely false.  If you aren't talking about your business, you can't expect anyone to know about it.  You certainly can't expect them to talk about it.  So in this episode, I share 3 ways to get your business out there and noticed: 1. How to use Social Media to build trust, 2. How getting involved in your community can lead to business growth, and 3. How networking and relationship building can lead to personal and business growth.  These 3 things have helped us grow month over month for over a year, and they will help you too. I'll say it again - if you aren't talking about your business, no one is talking about your business.  So get out there and start the conversation!
 
I'm praying for your business!
My best,
Lindsay

7. How Emotion Impacts Consumer Behavior & How to Use Emotion to Close More Sales in Small Business

Hello friend!  I'm so happy you are back for another episode of my podcast!  Today, I dive into how emotion impact decision making, specifically consumer behavior and buying habits.  As adults, we make nearly 35,000 decisions each day and 95% of those decisions are emotional decisions.  That leaves us with only 5% of decisions being made with logical or rational thought.  Emotion is one major element of being a human that we can't miss when we are selling our service or product. It's the thing that you might be missing in your sales and marketing campaigns that are leaving you with lack-luster results.  If you are looking to grow your business and close more sales, emotion is where the magic happens!
 
As always, thank you for listening, and I'm praying for your business!
 
My best,

Scripture Reference:
Phil 2:3-4 (NIV)- Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

5. Five Things to Know about Objections in Small Business Sales

Hello there!  Welcome back to the show!  In today's episode, we are talking about objections and the 5 things that you need to know about them as a small business owner. Objections get a bad wrap - they hold a negative connotation and something to be avoided.  I hope my guidance will change your mind about objections and help you understand that they are actually an opportunity to learn more about your customer and their needs, and that it's a sign that they trust you! These 5 things are vital to understanding what an objection really is and what steps to take to overcoming them.  
As always, I'm praying for business!
My best,
Lindsay

3. 4 Buying Styles and How to Communicate Effectively with Each Style

Hey friend!  Welcome back to the Small Business Sales & Strategy podcast!  Today I'm talking about buying styles and how we can effectively communicate with each of the 4 buying styles. Buying Styles can also be called Decision Making Styles, and each one of us have a dominant style followed by a secondary style. The magic happens when we identify our (potential) customer's buying style and tailor our message to their buying style, not our own.  I'd love to hear from you - which buying style are you?
