Longer access? Exclusive bonuses? For example, Trevor worked with a client who ran an online summit. By significantly increasing the value of the paid upgrade, they saw a massive boost in conversions.

Your product is great, your service is exceptional, but your sales numbers aren't where you want them to be. The problem might not be your skills—it could be your mindset. In a recent conversation, business expert shared profound insights into the psychology of successful selling. He argues that your beliefs about sales directly impact your effectiveness. If you secretly think sales is "sleazy," you'll struggle, no matter how good your pitch is.
info_outlineIn business, we're taught that profit is the ultimate measure of success. But what if the numbers on your balance sheet are misleading? According to business finance expert Avi Pinsky, many businesses fail not because they're unprofitable, but because they run out of cash. In a recent podcast episode, he revealed the often-overlooked truth: positive cash flow is the foundation of a healthy, growing business.
Avi calls cash flow the “sixth lever”—the one that holds the other five together. You can be great at generating leads and closing sales. Still, if you're not managing your receivables, forecasting your cash position, and separating "revenue" from "cash-in-the-bank," you're building on a house of cards. Avi's real-world examples demonstrate that a profitable company can fail without careful cash flow management.
