#216 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 6 - Honest Invitation

There’s one word that can shift the energy in a room faster than almost any other. Say it to a circle of purpose-driven, creative, soul-led women and you’ll see a collective clenching… The word, of course, is sales. And I understand the flinch completely, because most of what we’ve absorbed about selling, consciously, but mostly unconsciously, through the whole culture of online business and through the grim experience of being sold to badly, has taught us that it’s something to be endured at best and avoided when possible. Persuading. Scripts. Handling objections. Closing strategies. Getting someone from a no to a yes through sheer pressure and cleverness. If that’s what sales is, then of course you don’t want to do it. It would be a breach of your values. It would feel like a betrayal of the entire reason you started this work in the first place. Here’s a dollop of good news: that isn’t what sales is. Not here. Not in this framework. Not in the kind of business you and I are building. In this episode I'll walk you through what feel good sales look like... This is layer six of the Natural Order of Things - you can grab the free book, which walks through all seven layers along with the journaling prompts to self-audit what’s solid and what isn’t, HERE (https://gillmoakes.com/natural-order-...) There’s a companion worksheet for this one at gillmoakes.com/216 (https://gillmoakes.com/216) .
