Reach, Brand, Sales. Can you answer THESE three questions?
The Lisa Bean Podcast
In order to grow your business as an entrepreneur, you must have a clear answer for these three questions: What are you doing to reach into new markets? How are you build a strong reputation for providing value in those new markets? How are you inviting people to buy? Finding the answer to these questions is a lot about experimentation in the beginning. You begin with a hypothesis, which says: “I think that if I turn up here, in this way, and offer this service, people will buy”. This is not only about making informed decisions between multiple options, it’s about going out and testing...

I Put On My Dream Show – Here’s What I Learnt
The Lisa Bean Podcast
A few weeks ago I did something I’ve never done before. I put on my first ever theatre-style business show: Laugh or You’ll Cry. A full script. Lighting cues. Sound cues. Slide timing. Jokes I had to actually write and rehearse. For someone whose speaking style is usually “a few bullet points and make the rest up as you go along”, this pushed me right to the edge of my ability. But what surprised me the most wasn’t the logistics of putting on a show… it was what it did to my nervous system. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the experience and sharing a huge...

Our Secret to Staying Consistent on YouTube (We Film 5 Videos in ONE Day)
The Lisa Bean Podcast
Being in business is hard. It's full on. It's busy. This is especially true when you're winning clients and working hard to deliver behind the scenes. For all those reasons, the balance of creating content and delivering what you've promised to clients is a hard one to maintain. Personally, I've found producing content daily impossible. It's a different energy, and it takes a while to get things set up. That's why we don't do it! We create a lot of our content in key filming days, where we get everything set up, plan our content, and film 4/5 videos in one day! It's effective. It's...

[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!

Terrible advice that will actually grow your business (motivational)
The Lisa Bean Podcast
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. You’ll get tired of waiting for the ‘lucky break’. You’ll wonder if you should have stuck in that earlier career. If you’re feeling like this today, this episode is for you. 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...
info_outlineIf you hired a sales person and found out they were doing what you’re doing now to sell, how happy would you be?!
For a lot of people, the true answer is NOT VERY.
We’d want a sales person:
Reaching out to new prospective buyers
Pitching weekly or daily either face to face, at events or on webinars
Using content to build a brand / reach new audiences and retarget them with offers
Building a database and following up
Networking at least twice a week…
RIGHT?
But most business owners aren’t doing that. Nope - they’re posting on social media, working on a sales page, networking when they can but not really following up.
When you put it starkly like that, you can see the void…and the opportunity!
In this week’s video, we’re going to have a chat about making sales in your business, looking specifically at:
- What your product needs in order to be attractive (and useful!) to buyers
- How to stand out by innovating in your marketing
- Why content makes selling easier, and what content to make to help!
- The one big feeling a buyer has before they buy from you
- What every step of the journey needs in order to help you make more sales and win more clients in your business
- The true difference between a warm and cold lead…and how to warm up a cold lead nicely
- Do lead magnets work, or rather: Why lead magnets work and how to maximise them.
As ever, this is not a prescriptive list of things to do. It’s more of a discussion about the premise of selling and the core concepts of winning new customers in your business.
Dive in and enjoy!
