Closing the Sale as a Podcast Editor
If you're an excellent podcast editor who delights your clients, it might seem like new clients should be beating down your door because of all the amazing referrals.
Often, that doesn't happen.... So you invest time and money learning how to market your business. You identify your ideal client, speak their language, even get on sales calls. But even that isn't enough.
Even if you're the very best at what you do, your customers are happy, your sales machine is working overtime, and you have consistent sales calls, you will not be able to grow your business if you don't do this one thing.
Close. The. Sale.
Listen as we talk about closing the sale - what it is, why it's important, what we do well, and where we struggle. Join the conversation so that you can share your thoughts, questions, and insights too!
