184. Managing Your Sales Pipeline with Sara Murray
Description
Sales doesn’t have to feel awkward or pushy and this episode proves it! Sales strategist Sarah Murray returns to discuss what actually moves clients from “just thinking about a trip” to confidently booking with you, without burning yourself out or chasing people who were never serious to begin with. This conversation reframes sales as relationship-building and positions you as the guide through every stage of the booking lifecycle. You’ll learn how to spot high-intent leads, avoid getting derailed on discovery calls, follow up without feeling awkward, and move clients forward in a way that feels aligned, professional, and sustainable. If you’re tired of tire-kickers, ghosting, or feeling like sales is the hardest part of your business, this episode is a must-listen! Want to go deeper in this topic? Sarah will be teaching The Art of the Effortless Upsell inside the Niche Community on February 12th - Don’t miss out!
