Ep 169: Learn To Weave Your Offer Into Every Story You Tell And Sell More With Less Effort

Send us a textWe share a warm holiday intro, then dive into Kendall Cherry’s practical playbook for selling through story. We unpack case studies that convert, day-in-the-life frameworks, attraction and repelling, and how a content ecosystem can replace most sales calls.• using bottom-of-funnel case studies that show the real before and after• writing day-in-the-life and vision casting stories with concrete detail• threading offers into every post with subtle, soft selling• attracting right-fit buyers while repelling poor fits to save time• designing a no-calls-needed sales ecosystem with guides, forms, and video proposals• staying consistent instead of relying on referrals and launch spikes• sharing processed lessons learned without performative vulnerability• leveraging a unique origin story as your competitive moat• aligning sales design with energy, values, and delivery modelSo now that this episode is over, this is what I want you to do. Audit your content. Does every post that you've created in the last seven days, let's say, subtly sell? Are you hinting or nodding or threading your offer into the content and the stories that you're telling? Incorporate storytelling in your marketing, particularly around client case studies, so people can visualize themselves in the place of your current clients. Clarify your messaging to both attract and repel potential clients. It will save you so much time on unnecessary sales calls. Build a streamlined sales process that works for you. So everybody's sales process is a little different. You need it to work for the life that you have and your business and your offers. So build one that you actually love. And last, embrace the long game, nurture leads so they become ready to work with you. You love all things tiny marketing.

Send us a textClick Here to join the Gateway Offer Mission. << Expires October 30, 2025.What if your next client didn’t need convincing, just clarity? We walk through the gateway offer model that gets you paid to diagnose, builds trust across the buying committee, and turns the final decision into a simple next step. Instead of free discovery calls and bloated proposals, you’ll learn how to package interviews, a focused roadmap, and a short review session into a two-week container that proves value fast and removes risk for everyone.We start by breaking down the hidden cost of the traditional sales process: thin discovery, speculative proposals, and a six to eight-week on-ramp where you figure things out on the client’s dime. Then we map the three-part gateway offer: stakeholder interviews that surface goals and constraints, a concise strategy or audit that prioritizes quick wins, and a review call designed for clarity, not pressure. You’ll hear how sending the plan 24 hours ahead sparks better questions, why using stakeholder quotes in your recommendations creates instant alignment, and how to draw out silent objections so you leave with consensus instead of confusion.We also dig into pricing and positioning. A sub-$1,000 “why not” offer is easy to approve and creates momentum without setting off procurement alarms. You’ll learn how to present scope without scope creep, outline a 90-day plan that feels actionable, and introduce execution options that make yes the obvious next move. Concerned they’ll shop your strategy? We explain why it rarely happens when you co-create with stakeholders and demonstrate value in the room. Most buyers either hand you the keys or implement internally—both outcomes strengthen your pipeline and reputation.Ready to cut your sales cycle and convert with confidence?
