Your Business Will Grow By Asking For What You Want

When building your business, you have to be willing to ask questions and do so without hesitancy.

I see people often holding back on asking for help or asking questions because they are unsure how to or don’t feel confident asking.

To get what you want, you have to ask for it at the end of the day.

To get more sales, you have to ask for the sale.

To get more results from your staff, you have to ask people to do work for you.

Asking is a huge, underrated skillset that people need to start doing more of.

Many times we have limiting beliefs that are preventing us from asking for help with things.

We aren’t sure if it’s going to work. We aren’t sure if it’s the right time, etc.

At the end of the day, just putting yourself out there and asking is always going to be better than not asking!

Many of us have childhood trauma in our lives - or even adult trauma from friends, family, and coworkers that have belittled us for asking questions. This made it a bad thing in our minds to ask questions. We were even punished or judged for asking “stupid things.”

There’s no such thing as stupid, bad questions.

Now, it’s possible to ask inappropriate questions, but you can’t let the fear of asking an inappropriate question keep you from asking!

Start asking for things that you want more often.

You are worth asking for things. You’re worth asking for help. You’re worth getting your needs met.

Don’t let anyone silence you or keep you from asking for things!

How To Find More New Customers For Your Business

If you're not getting more customers in your business, it's dying. We have to know how to communicate with the people who will buy from us!

But how do we find these people?

There are many platforms online where people are. Facebook and Instagram are my favorite platforms to use to find people.

To find your target customer, you have to speak directly to the person who will buy from you.

100% of your market efforts need to be about your customer, not you. They need to be about what your potential buyers care about.

You can tell your personal story and show things that you like - but only in the efforts to connect with your potential buyer. It's never so that they find YOU interesting; it's so that they know that you understand them and what they are going through!

To find your target customer, you have to make them offers that are aligned with what they want and care about.

We do this by creating internet offers, landing pages, lead magnets, and more.

Then, we run advertising campaigns. You reach your customer by putting advertising dollars into the platform to find the people who will buy from you.

Then you rinse and repeat.

The part most people miss is the feedback loop. You want to become tenacious at listening to, talking with, and conversing with your target customer (a lot of people reading this will glaze over and ignore this step, for whatever reason, yet it's actually the most important part of the entire process).

You have to get into actual human-to-human conversations with strangers on the internet to talk about what they care about and what they desire.

From where you can then create more effective offers that connect with your buyers. You then push these offers out, based on the direct feedback you get from people - to connect with MORE people to discover more about what they care about - to then create better offers - additional offers that c connect with those people.

You will create many many offers, and run many, many unique campaigns with ads to reach your target customer.

You'll never be successful just trying to make one single offer work. You have to do this feedback loop work, adjust your messaging to fit the customer, and find new people.

It's a process. It happens over time. You have to continuously find new people on a regular basis with your offers, your ads - and connect with them to have that conversation to learn what they care about and what they need.

Crafting offers that are all about people, and running an ad campaign that connects with them is what I teach in my courses "Irresistible Offers That Sell" and "Social Media Ads That Work" - as well as the majority of the work I do with my one on one coaching clients.

Talk with your target customer (not at them, WITH them), and you'll be able to sell them anything.

What To Include On Your Sales Page To Handle Objections

When creating our sales letters, we have a lot to think about when selling online!

One of the first things I always have to remind myself - and those I coach is, you never want to validate yourself in your sales copy.

This means you're not trying to convince people that you can do what you say you can do. It would help if you came to the table with total confidence in what you can do. 

Your copy can't have any level of insecurity or lack of belief in the ability to deliver the result you are promising.

You want to make promises on your landing page and cast a vision for what people will experience when buying from you.

The way that we can most effectively do this is by speaking directly to our target customers. When we make our sales pages, we have to assume that we are talking to people who are already interested in what we are selling.

Your sales page will never "get someone interested" in what you are offering, so don't even try. It's a waste of time, and it'll make your page fall flat! Your goal is to speak to people who are already interested and paint a picture in their mind of the result they can expect after they buy from you.

One important thing to keep in mind is that people will have objections even if someone is interested in what you are selling.

Everyone has life experiences, all different than our own. As you get to know your target customer and listen to them, you'll start to learn how they think and what they worry about.

Because of this, you want to speak to the issues that your target customer worries about.

You do this by speaking directly to the positive result they can expect. You can address your customer's objections and concerns by stating the opposite of what they are concerned about in a creative - forward-looking manner.

For example: if someone is concerned that learning Facebook Ads is complicated, expensive, and technical, you can use a headline like I did that says, "Create profitable Facebook ads for less than $5 a day, even if you aren't a social media guru or tech genius". So this statement IMMEDIATELY handles the objection this person has.

They are a buyer who has some questions, and if you can address these questions up front in your copy, you can help them get more results!

I've had coaching clients who applied this single piece to their landing pages of objection-handling, and their sales increased.

You want to handle the objections directly and speak to the result they can expect to get.

By doing this, you can confidently display what they will expect and paint a picture in their mind of what it will be like to be your buyer!
