DQ News: How To Sell And Promote Without Being Sales-y and Promotional

Can you please give me 13 and a third minutes?

Because if you can give me 13 and a third minutes, I can teach you how to stop being weird about selling forever. It’s fun, and trans fat free.

In today’s episode, we talk about:

• why you’re afraid of selling,

• why you’re NOT like one of “those” marketers,

• how to make damn sure you never APPEAR to be one of “those” marketers,

• and how to understand what your customers are thinking when they read your sales emails.

(We also talk about the fanatical devotion of greyhound owners, PuppyCon 2012, and the Snuggie.)

Seriously, how can you not listen to this? What were you planning to do for the next 13 minutes? Mmm hmm? Yeah. That’s what I thought.

What’s all this in aid of, you ask?

I came out with a new course, called Online Business School for Coaches. As part of my “better living through bribery and tasty free samples” sales campaign, I’m giving you 20% of it for free.

Monday we talked about how to finally stop screwing around.

And today, how to sell and promote without being sales-y or promotional.

Grab the audio lesson here, or pick up the transcript.

Tomorrow, we’re talking about becoming indispensable and finding your superpower.

Friday, we’re talking about how to get your damn balls back already.

The grand master plan here is this:

If you like the idea of making an extra $20,000 next year from teaching classes, $20,000 from selling products, and $20,000 from your coaching itself, you will take this opportunity to listen to these (frankly fantastic) audio lessons and subsequently sign up for the full course.

The course is for sale until Friday. This is the first course I’ve made in over two years, so you can be pretty damn sure it’s good.

If you already know you want it, or you want to read about the other 80%, you can check it out here. Also fun. Also trans fat free.
