[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.

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
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...

How to Show up in ChatGPT:4 Smart Ways to Get Found in AI Search
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!)
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
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...
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!
