So let me share a little about the importance of connection and have every conversation is an opportunity. Last week, I shared my conversation with my friend Jen Grosso from the Boldfire Institute that was part of a live chat for her awesome business group. Well… as fate would have it, in the audience of that group was a fiery character who was dropping hilarious, encouraging one-liners into the chat, cheering Jen and I on and asking thoughtful questions as the chat continued. That fiery awesome character was the one and only Heather Petherick who I’m delighted to say is my guest today. Heather Petherick is a master business coach, with 14 years worth of experience helping clients grow their service-based business and consistently sell out their high-ticket offers without being salesy, rude or annoying AF – and she and I connected right away after that guest interview; we were totally on the same wavelength when it comes to integrity in marketing and sales, using a low-intimidation approach, high-connection approach, and having a duty of care in your business. Also, there’s the fact that she is totally hilarious. And today, we talk about…. * The evolution that Heather has seen in her 14+ years in coaching * How your customer is far more discerning now – and why that’s a really good thing * Why ‘bro marketing’ and shaming prospects won’t cut it anymore * The welcome conversation around ethics is getting louder in the coaching industry * Why relationship-based, organic marketing means reaping more benefits with less hustle * The sales superpower that women often have – but don’t always recognize * The real goal of a sales conversation – and no, it’s not getting someone’s money Heather’s bio Heather Petherick is a master business coach, with 14 years worth of experience helping clients grow their service-based business and consistently sell out their high-ticket offers without being salesy, rude or annoying AF.

My friend, Jen Grosso, is a certified business growth strategist and mindset coach who has a wonderful Facebook group called Mind, Body and Business breakthroughs for entrepreneurs and executives – and she asked me to be a guest expert for her interview series on entrepreneurship.  And she is so awesome that I didn’t have to think twice about it. So this week, the interviewer is becoming the interviewee as Jen and I talk about… * How to get started in podcast guesting even if you have no idea what you’re doing * How to embrace testing to get to a better service or product * What you need to pitch to podcasts – and what you can ditch * The things I look for when vetting guests for my own show * Why you can blow past lead magnets and other ‘pre-requisites’ if you choose to be a podcast guest * The myth that your business needs to be more complicated in order to work * Surviving the 9-5 and side hustle limbo This was such a refreshing conversation and I hope you feel the warmth of it as you listen.  We touched on a lot of triumphs, frustrations and common misconceptions in business that I think you’ll really enjoy.
