    Luckily, just in time, they by chance landed on the lead generation strategy that turned out to generate $600,000 in 4 years without cold calling a soul.

    Scaling Your Business with a Sales Team

    Scaling Your Business with a Sales Team

    Are you finally ready to scale your business with a salesperson? 
    After building 4 teams over 4 years and taking them from $30k/month to $300k/month - there’s a lot I’ve learned from that process. 
    Without a doubt, it’s THE fastest way to grow your revenue and get back time…if it’s done right.
    This episode will cover the most crucial elements that - if done wrong - can create years of pain for an owner trying to scale their business with a salesperson. 
    Listen in to discover how to:
    Set your salesperson up to close from day 1 - instead of painfully “learning on the leads” and losing them. 
    Create compensation, goals and expectations that are a powerful win/win for you both
    Get buy-in from the start that sets your salesperson’s motivation on fire for quick wins  
    Train them to be an even better version of you who converts more
    Sales is not a one-size-fits-all. Somebody acting exactly like you is not going to bring clients in the same as if they could be themselves and represent you authentically. - Aleasha Bahr

    Break the Business Rules for Ultimate Sales Success

    Break the Business Rules for Ultimate Sales Success

    Does it feel like business is so much harder than it should be? That you know what you want, but you don’t know how to get there so you’re settling? 
     
    This episode is going to bring you a ton of clarity. 
     
    Business growth coach, Erin Marcus, has a unique combination of MBA, corporate, and life experience that allows her to laser identify the BS most business owners are buying into that makes everything feel harder than it should. 
     
    More importantly, she shares what to focus on instead which will make it all easier. Of course, what works will be specific to you so this is not about one or two tactics. This is about getting laser clear on YOU, something that scares a lot of people but the reward is so worth it. 
     
    Without being radically honest about what you want, what you like, and what you don’t like - you risk ending up with a business you don’t like.
    In this episode, you will be able to:
    Discover how to dig deep into self-awareness to create the business and life you REALLY want - instead of the one you’re settling for
    Uncover what makes you more susceptible to bad strategies and how to avoid them in your business 
    Determine whether your current issues are business-related or marketing-related (usually it’s NOT marketing although everyone mistakenly thinks it is!)
    Understand the neuroscience dragging you down and how to successfully get around it
    Plan for the future instead of planning for the now (which is ultimately not what you want!)

    Generate More Revenue by Saying No to More Clients

    Generate More Revenue by Saying No to More Clients

    Are you interested in higher quality leads and less nightmare clients? Then this episode is for you. 
    You’ve definitely heard all about how you need to niche down and the “riches are in the niches” - which is true. 
    Not enough people realize that you can make that attraction strategy even more powerful by layering on the philosophy “the more you repel, the more you sell.”
    Purposefully repelling certain clients isn't about negative exclusion but rather about empowered selection. 
    When you’re equally clear about who is not a fit and who is a fit - you’ll see a decrease of unqualified prospects and an increase in ideal client calls, revenue and time in your day. 
    Listen in to discover:  
    The powerful way to increase your ideal client’s attraction to you 
    How to identify who is NOT a fit to work with you (beyond money and “not coachable” criteria)
    The kind, respectful way to repel the wrong people that makes the right people even MORE likely to say “yes” to working with you 
    Build trust and transparency as a pattern interrupt and become an ideal client magnet as a result

    How to Do Cold Outreach Right

    How to Do Cold Outreach Right

    Have you heard that sales is a numbers game? 
    It is - if you treat people like numbers. That’s the ineffective way most people do cold outreach and the reason why everyone dreads it. 
    However, if you do cold outreach well - you’ll get a surprisingly positive response with very little effort. 
    It’s all about being intentional which is what I cover in this week’s episode with live examples.
    Listen in to discover: 
    Identifying whether you need quantity or quality in your lead gen.
    Pre-research that creates positive response from cold outreach. 
    Including storytelling to make your cold pitch stand out.  
    Empathy as a crucial (and often forgotten) element of effective cold outreach.
    How to effectively follow up in your cold outreach without saying the same thing repeatedly like “just checking in”, for example.

She’ll launch you so fast!

Aleasha is not only brilliant but she’s also incredibly tuned in to how to actually talk to people so that you can serve them best. Listen with intention and I guarantee she will deliver you a nugget of genius that will take your impact and service to higher levels, fast. Aleasha is having conversations that people typically avoid, or try to have with themselves, alone, in the dark. It’s OK to talk about sales and business and what gets in the way of service and that’s exactly what she does with this podcast.

Love Alesha’s Thinking…

Absolutely, we're all in the business of selling, whether we realize it or not. Nothing is truly self-selling; it all requires a touch of creativity and strategy. This episode really drives home that point and underscores the universal truth of sales. Kudos for the bold insights shared in the "Sales is not a dirty word" podcast – they're enlightening and appreciated!

Aleasha Bahr/SNDW delivers everything I look for and love in a podcast!

Aleasha Bahr delivers everything I look for and love in a podcast host: Smart, funny original thinker who offers me actionable information that makes my life better. I wish Aleasha, her podcast and her Black Sheep Sales Method had been around 20 years ago when I was starting my business. I had a steep learning curve without her. Listen and take advantage of what she is offering. Aleasha is a great interviewer who asks insightful questions and actively listens to her guests. It’s clear she’s done her research. Oh - and she gives context and connects dots which I appreciate a lot. Again, an example of how much Aleasha is listening and always thinking, “what’s the value here.” HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
