Episode Details

If you've ever felt weird, squirmy, or like a used-car salesman fundraising or in a pitch meeting, this episode is for you!

I recently got locked in my house and what followed for the rest of the day was a huge lesson in stepping into the spotlight.

Here's what you'll learn:

• How to talk about what you do in a way that doesn't feel icky or salesy
• How to think, on purpose, before you go into a funder or pitch meeting 
• Why shining the light on you and celebrating the wins, is the missing piece of your growth strategy 

Plus, I'll explain how to create the optimal energy behind a discovery call or donor meeting, and how shifting your strategy can attract more perfect-fit clients and customers.  

It's time to stop villainizing the word "salesy" -- we're here for 2 things: purpose and profit. Let's reduce the tension around the idea of selling (and fundraising) -- it will change the way you prospect and make it a lot more fun.
