This week, we’re tackling the part of business that everyone seems to love to hate…sales.

For those of you who really don't love sales, but still want to grow your businesses, this is the bad news: there is simply no version of growing your business that won't involve sales. But the good news is that it is entirely possible to do this well.

What is covered:

-The key element of selling without the ‘ick’

-Where do your beliefs about sales come from?

-3 powerful reframes for your beliefs about sales

When it comes to sales, I would go so far as to say that as a business owner, it's not just a choice, it is your responsibility to sell, so that your business survives, and you can actually make a difference in the lives of people whom you serve.

And if you’d like to get your hands on our new guide to creating an effective, ethical and empowering sales page, head over to the Actually Making a Difference Facebook Group and look for the relevant post. You’ll find it in the featured section or by searching for ‘sales page.’

This week, we're talking about how to drive engagement on social media…probably one of the most common questions I get asked each week by my community and my clients!

What Is Covered:

-Valuable lessons from Actually's Birthday Bonanza

-How to drive engagement on social media

-Why avoiding one-sided conversations on social is crucial

-The value you can share that almost everyone ignores

-How to balance engagement with the promotion of your services

Driving engagement might seem like an indecipherable hieroglyph, yet it is pretty simple: it's about having conversations. And remember that genuine curiosity is one of the most powerful tools to make a difference.

This is another episode that may make you uncomfortable - but it’s all for your own good, I promise!

We’re going to talk about our priorities, or objectives, or intentions, or whatever you prefer to call them. I’m going to share with you some of the questions that I use to help me arrive at my business priorities for the year, in the hope that it helps you to consider your priorities for the year ahead.

What is Covered:

-Why you must look back before you look forward

-Growing vs. consolidating your business in the coming year

-The two money questions that everyone avoids

-Questions to help you realign your business with your purpose and principles

I find a lot of these questions work equally well when you're thinking about your personal life too. But I hope that these few will help you to get clear on your business priorities for the coming year, because it's time and you are ready to actually make a difference.
