[Live talk] To Make Sales, COMMIT to Your Marketing show art [Live talk] To Make Sales, COMMIT to Your Marketing

The Lisa Bean Podcast

You're not struggling with sales - you’re struggling to have an impact at a big enough scale to make sales. In this week’s video, I’m breaking down what’s really going on when you’re not making enough money in your business — and how to fix it. This is not another “sales hack” video. It’s about learning to have a real impact on people, before they ever pay you. That's marketing! If people can feel the impact you can have on them i.e if you’ve already helped them see themselves differently, think differently, or take new action, then you’ll won't have to convince them to...

Business can be awful! Let’s be honest. Some days, it feels like it’s never going to work; like you’re never going to make it. You’re going to want to quit.

In this raw conversation, I want to share the “terrible advice” that will turn things around for you, help you fall back in love with business, and get you back on the path to success. We’ll talk: What you’re waiting for Why you should stop...

Don't cheat, just market (like this!) show art Don't cheat, just market (like this!)

The Lisa Bean Podcast

If you were to ask me how to make more sales in your business I’d say: stop trying to cheat the process and just market better. Marketing is the simple act of adding value to someone’s life before you ask them for anything in return. Examples of marketing done well: You’re a guest on a podcast of someone your future clients listen to. You’re talking about your journey, you’re sharing your wisdom, you’re helping people believe they can do it to. You write a LinkedIn post sharing the 3 biggest mistakes people make when approaching [your industry/topic], and you explain how to avoid...

Human vs AI: Why Being Real Will Be Your Superpower in 2026 show art Human vs AI: Why Being Real Will Be Your Superpower in 2026

The Lisa Bean Podcast

In 18 months, you won't know if that image, video or news clip is real or AI so be smart: start finding ways to show your clients just how real you are, and you'll win more business. ↓     Before we came to Italy, I showed Lucy's daughter a photo of Lake Como. She said "No, that's AI", and I laughed. "Wait till you see it in real life", I said, "and then you'll know - that's real." I think it's happening already... We're doubting that content is real. Whilst this was once limited to photos and maybe some dramatically staged social media clips, it's now...

The Lisa Bean Podcast

Most people are still writing SEO optimised content for Google… but the way we search is changing. Five key take aways for ranking in ChatGPT: ➔ AI responds to real prompts, rather than vague keywords and search terms. Think about full questions your clients would be asking ChatGPT and write questions to answer those more human prompts. ➔ Consistency builds authority — ChatGPT “reads” your homepage, bios, blogs, and news stories. Say the same thing across all of them to help create a consistent narrative about your business. ➔ Structure matters — Use clear H2s...

How to stop playing small - three practical strategies (that work!) show art How to stop playing small - three practical strategies (that work!)

The Lisa Bean Podcast

“Stop playing small” is terrible advice because no-one really knows what it means to play big, or how to approach it! When people talk about playing small, they usually mention things like: Not charging their worth Self-sabotaging Avoiding key projects and actions Not being visible Not going for their dreams!   Does that mean that playing big is the opposite of this: Charging your worth Letting yourself have the win! Tackling key projects and taking difficult actions Being visible and building your brand Going for your dreams!   Probably! But, I think we can go further. In...

Marketing = impact show art Marketing = impact

The Lisa Bean Podcast

I wish I could convey this one thing about marketing. MARKETING = IMPACT MARKETING = IMPACT MARKETING = IMPACT Posting isn't marketing if it doesn't open someone's thinking, influence a new behaviour, or challenge an old behaviour. Marketing is marketing when it has an impact on someone's life, and you become associated with that impact.  If we can get someone's attention, get them to pay attention to us, and share something that truly changes their life, then we're marketing. For this reason, simply posting isn't marketing. Marketing is more about building a connection between your brand...

This is the truth of how I went from zero to £100,000 in online sales in my online coaching business.

Look, I know you’re trying and I know you think it should be working right now. You took the leap to build your online business, you’ve made sales here and there but it feels too hard and you’re wondering: Will this ever work; have I got what it takes?

IT WILL AND YOU DO but -

You’ve got to do what will actually work and I’m going to be really straight and tell you what those things are right now.

The truth is it’s harder than a lot of people will tell you online. For this to work, you've got to be so hungry for this to work, you've got to feel like it’s your life's mission to show up in this way and make this work, you've got to focus on learning the proper skills of positioning value, marketing, mindset and sales to turn on sales and set yourself free.

I know you want more clients and I know you can help more people. But I also know that the best coaches don't win - the best marketeers do, every time. So, if you want to build an online business and be an online coach or course provider, you've got to accept the fact you're about to become an expert in online marketing and selling. And I'm going to help you!

So here's the bottom line. In a job, you get paid for showing up, regardless if you do the work or not. In entrepreneurship you do not get paid for showing up. You get paid for two reasons: (1) You added meaningful value to someone who was willing to pay for that value; and (2) Enough people got the chance to consider that valuable offer in the first place. If you’re not making sales it HAS to come down to one of those two things and both are skills you develop with work, trial and error and well, more work.

-

For juicy context, here are some of those key ideas:

 

(1) Get into the world:

First and foremost (hilarious phrase!?) you’ve got to get out in the world and sell things. Content will not lead to sales, no matter how great it is. What leads to sales is webinars, masterclasses, live workshops, discovery calls, freebies with a clear call to action.

In the beginning, I understood this deeply. I made a lot of content to help build my brand and build trust, but I was ALLLWAAYYYSSS launching, selling stuff, trying stuff. I’d put on events in local coffee shops, I’d book hotel venues and put on talks every month, I’d go live on Facebook and announce new course launches. When I look back on my journey, I can see I was out there in the world. I was making new connections ALL THE TIME. I was meeting people. I was making pitches and offering things and I built my business one client at a time.

Now, I tend to do long copy PDFs, and online masterclasses and workshops rather than live stuff. Back then, I did a lot in person.

So ask yourself: How many times have I offered something low risk to bring people to the front of the room this year? If you can 10x that you will massively increase your sales.

 

(2) Tell people what you believe:

Don’t share boring generic sh!t and DON’T YOU DARE USE CHAT WHATEVER IT’S CALLED TO SHARE YOUR CONTENT. I don’t even think you can use it for ideas if I’m honest. No-one wants to hear from a robot and no-one wants a generic summary of waffle off the internet. They want to know what worked for you! They want your powerful insights. They want the map you made! They want a human's journey.

So honestly, get really deep with yourself and think about two things: (1) What is the one big outcome you can deliver right now for clients; and (2) What is the truth of what that will take. Go make that content. Go write those mailers. Go build offers in answer to that.

 

(3) More time with clients:

Listen - get on calls with clients, offer more group time, offer more live time, offer more 121 time. If you’re not making sales right now, being tight with your time is hilarious isn’t it?! Instead offer more!! Double the time they get with you.

If you have an online course, introduce a live weekly call where you teach key concepts and answer questions. If you’re coaching is 6 sessions, make it 6 sessions + 3 action check ins. If you have a group, make one week live training and another week dedicated Q&A.

This doesn’t just make it a great offer, it gives you so much valuable insight about where people are, what they need, how you can help.
