Sales Training for Small Business Owners

Doesn't exist, does it?

We, as small business owners, wear a lot of hats. There is of course your profession (which you bloody rock at by the way) then there's the roles of bookkeeper, admin assistant, delivery driver and of course.. Sales person.

Ick, that last title there makes some of us feel a littttle uncomfortable doesn't it? No one wants to be seen as too salesy but, we also want the sales in order to have a profitable business so, what can we do?

It's not our fault. We set up our business, loving what we do and so presumed it was a case of build it and they will come! Some of us just didn't give the promotion side of our business much thought. Set up an Instagram account - check drop out a few flyers - check. Now we wait, and keep waiting, and the only thing turning up is the crickets we can hear. This then knocks your confidence completely. Thoughts like "what have I done, I'm not cut out for this" enter our heads and "maybe I'm too expensive" which leads to us immediately discounting out offerings or, WORSE, giving them away.

If you've experienced this then I have a new tool for your small business owner toolkit.

My new eBook: Get Sales Confident: The Ultimate Guide to Confident Selling for Small Business Owners.

What is the eBook about?

It's all about building your confidence in promoting and selling your product, service or yourself i.e. your own skills, knowledge etc in your small business

What 'qualifies' me to help you with sales?

I have worked in sales in some capacity my entire working life. My corporate career started out in retail banking and now, in my self employed career, I promote and sell within my business every day!

My first business was an award winning wedding and event floristry business, The Floral Design Boutique. Every summer, I was fully booked for weddings with clients booking up to two years in advance. I ran Christmas workshops too which sold out within 24 hours every single year. Fast forward to my business just now, Shot by Amanda and I am fully booked for my brand photography membership for the first half of 2024, this happened before 2023 had even ended and that was within 12 months of me starting up!

There's no way I could yield results like that if I shyed away from promoting my business and closing those sales and now I want to share that confidence with you.
