I recently polled my Instagram audience about why they find selling hard--maybe you’ll relate to some of their answers:

“I’m afraid my dream client will turn down my offer.”

“I don’t know the right words to say to express my worth. And worse than that, what if they laugh or act offended when they hear my pricing?”

“I’m worried that my potential clients (and other people) will think that I am overvaluing myself--like who am I to be charging these prices?!”

And my FAVORITE:

“If I wouldn’t pay a certain price for something--why would anyone else???”

I’ve listened to all your concerns, and here’s what I have to say: it’s time to KICK THEM IN THE ASS AND OUT OF YOUR HEAD!

Think of selling like an art. It’s as important as learning to wield your camera or create authentic art. Selling (or what I like to call, serving) helps you go from a STARVING ARTIST to a WEALTHY ARTIST.

It’s another Play It Brave Tuesday, and we’re talking all things selling with a true master, Anthony Sarandrea. Anthony runs a team that serves over a million customers every year, and he has a few tricks up his sleeve that will get YOU in front of your dream clients and customers in no time. Tune in to hear what easy ways to boost your client and customer base!
