So much of the sales process is nerve-rattling. It's hard enough to get potential clients for most business owners, but it's even harder to standardize the process once you start growing and trying to scale.

Plus, what if you've never been on a sales call before? I've done thousands of sales calls, and there is a TON of advice out there about what you should do, what you should say, and what you shouldn't say.

In this episode, I break down the sales process into three easy steps for new business owners to help simplify everything.

Those steps include:

• The pre-conversation — How you need to prepare your potential clients for the first meeting.
• The sales call — How you structure the call, and how to handle objections.
• The follow-up — What you need to do if your potential client says yes, or "I don't know."

Hey ladies, I've been getting a lot of requests to talk about confidence and why that's important for women, particularly Black women, in business.

In this episode, I talk about some of the ways I worked on my own confidence, how I was able to boost my self-esteem and self-worth by focusing on being honest with myself and having the integrity to follow through on all of the things I set out to do. This is something I'm passionate about and I know it can help others.
