August 22nd: Easy-To-Implement Sales Techniques for Greater Success
Overcome your fear of selling...
Let’s be real—just hearing the word “sales” can make even the most fearless solopreneurs break into a cold sweat. It often conjures up images of slick-talking, high-pressure salespeople pushing products you don't need.
But guess what? That’s not you, and it’s definitely not what sales has to be.
Sales isn’t about being sleazy; it’s about sharing something valuable that can truly help someone.
It’s about connecting, solving problems, and making a difference in someone’s life.
Imagine you’ve got this incredible tool, and it’s exactly what your audience needs to level up their game—wouldn’t you want them to know about it?
Of course, you would! That’s what sales is all about.
So, let’s flip the script and think of sales as an opportunity to serve. When you approach it with authenticity, care, and a genuine desire to help, it’s not just selling; it’s empowering others.
You’ve got this.
Solo together,

The Conversation-First Sales Approach You Need To Implement Now
Shut your eyes and think of a stereotypical salesman.
If you’re like me (Carly), you’re imagination may have immediately transported you to a car dealership, or a person with a briefcase ready to give you a pitch.
That’s how I always used to think about sales, and frankly, why I was always turned off to that profession.
But then, over time, I started meeting people who revolutionized the industry, and turned my original connotation into one that thinks of people who can be relied on as trusty sources of helpful information.

We have advised countless solopreneurs on the importance of being authentic, and yet, after looking thorugh our LinkedIn posts, newsletters, interviews, etc, we've realized our true personalities don't always come through.
This has not been intentional, but we realized we are trained to put on professional personas, and that's a hard thing to shake.
So, we've made a decision that from here on, you'll see the real people beyond the LifeStarr brand, not just the professional sides of us.
Against some popular thoughts (especially for me as a marketer), we're done playing the algorithm games, and just want to be out true selves, providing the value we find important to you.
We hope you like this new approach, because we're sure excited for it.
Oh, and along with this, we're totally revamping this newsletter that you'll see soon. I'll leave you with that cliffhanger :)
