$22,500 in Sales Without Sales Calls: BTS of My Sales Strategy | Ep 14

I'm Closing $27K on Sales Calls... Here's Why I'd Still Choose DM Sales | Ep 15

Ready for $9K in DM sales? Join my email list for no-fluff sales strategies, free resources, and exclusive trainings. 👉 Sign up HERE [https://alyssamoorhead.myflodesk.com/emailsignup]  This week, I'm closing $27,000 in high ticket sales from sales calls...and I still prefer closing inside the DMs. Yep. Both can work. But they're not interchangeable. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on when I choose sales calls, when I refuse them, why DM sales are still my favorite way to sell, and exactly what qualifies someone for each. You'll also hear what it actually looks like behind the scenes when you're selling bigger retainers, larger proposals, multiple decision-makers, and high-level clients. If you've been wondering whether you should focus on sales calls or DM sales to get more clients, this episode will help you decide. Inside this episode: * Why I'm currently closing $27K in high ticket sales from sales calls—and why that isn't my default * The real reason I still prefer DM sales for most clients * When a sales call actually makes sense (and when it absolutely doesn't) * The differences between selling in the DMs versus on a call * The three qualifying questions I ask before I ever make an offer * Why voice notes are non-negotiable if you want to close more sales in the DMs * How my offer posts, FAQ posts, and client stories shorten the sales process and save hours every week * The deadline strategy that helps prospects make decisions without chasing them * What scaling into larger clients actually looks like behind the scenes * Where my best lead generation is coming from right now My biggest takeaway: You don't need to do business the way everyone else says you should. Decide from the beginning whether your sales process is built around DM sales or sales calls, then create content that supports that process from start to finish. Your offer content should answer questions before prospects even ask them, making it easier to close more qualified leads and get more clients without spending all day selling. Your action step: Go make your Instagram Stories. Start three DM conversations. Practice asking: * What's your specific goal? * What's your timeline? * What's your budget? Then guide them to your offer content instead of rewriting the same answers over and over. Efficiency wins. Ready to sell more in the DMs?

$22,500 in Sales Without Sales Calls: BTS of My Sales Strategy | Ep 14

What if you stopped treating sales like a stressful obligation... and started treating it like a game? This month, I played with my marketing instead of forcing it—and that mindset shift turned into $22,500 in sales, dozens of qualified leads, and a sales system that's working without relying on endless sales calls. In this episode, I'm taking you completely behind the scenes of what actually worked in June—from Threads to Instagram Stories to DM sales—and exactly how we're creating more high ticket sales while having way more fun doing it. If you've been wondering how to generate leads consistently, sell on Instagram Stories, and close clients inside your DMs, this episode is for you. In This Episode, We Cover: * Why putting less pressure on sales often leads to better results * The mindset shift that helped generate $22,500 in sales * How my Instagram Stories collaborations brought in over $9,000 * Why cross-marketing is one of the most underrated lead generation strategies * The behind-the-scenes changes we made to our sales team * What I learned from launching Lead Gen Sprints (and why we changed the offer) * How we're using Threads to attract warm leads every single week * The exact path we're using: Threads → Instagram Stories → DM Sales * Why your Instagram Stories are doing more selling than you realize * How to create Instagram Stories people actually want to watch * My favorite places to find endless content ideas * The five-step DM sales flow we're using instead of traditional sales calls * Why having more fun is actually a legitimate sales strategy Key Takeaways ✨ Sales matter—but they don't have to feel serious. ✨ People buy from people they're excited to work with. If you're having fun, your audience can feel it. ✨ Instagram Stories are one of the strongest trust-building tools you have before someone ever sends a DM. ✨ Most of my newest leads aren't coming from posting more—they're coming from engaging with other people on Threads. ✨ You don't need more content ideas. You need to stop overthinking the ones you already have. ✨ You don't have to rely on sales calls to close premium clients. The right DM process can absolutely convert high ticket sales.

Make the D*mn Instagram Stories: The Fastest Way to Hit Your Next Sales Goal | Ep 13

What if the thing standing between you and your summer sales goal isn't another strategy, another funnel, or another certification? What if it's simply the thing you've been avoiding for months? In this episode, I'm getting real about what I've seen after 11 years in sales and lead generation: why some people start making sales quickly while others stay stuck waiting, and the one simple activity that consistently speeds up sales results. Spoiler alert: It's not sexy. It's not complicated. And yes, it's probably Instagram Stories. If you've been wondering how long it actually takes to hit your sales goals, build momentum, and create predictable revenue, this episode will help you set realistic expectations while showing you exactly what to focus on right now. In This Episode, We Cover: * How long it realistically takes to hit your summer sales goals * Why existing leads dramatically shorten your sales timeline * The difference between businesses with lead pipelines and businesses starting from scratch * Why lead generation is only half of the sales equation * The biggest mistake business owners make when trying to increase revenue * How Instagram Stories directly impact lead generation and sales * Why consistency beats intensity every single time * The truth about trust-building and longer buying cycles * What to post on Instagram Stories when you have "nothing to say" * How to turn everyday client conversations into sales content Instagram Story Ideas to Generate More Leads If you're staring at your phone wondering what to post, start here: ✔ Questions people ask you in your DMs ✔ Frequently asked questions from potential clients ✔ Client success stories and transformations ✔ Common challenges your clients face before hiring you ✔ Why now is the right time to solve a specific problem ✔ Conversations from sales calls ✔ Wins, lessons, and behind-the-scenes moments from client work The Hard Truth About Sales Growth You can't control exactly when someone buys. You can control: * How consistently you create sales content * How often you're generating leads * How many conversations you're starting * How frequently you're following up The businesses making sales consistently aren't waiting for motivation. They're showing up anyway. Key Takeaway If you want to speed up your sales results, stop overthinking and start posting. Five minutes of Instagram Stories a day can create more leads, more conversations, and more opportunities than hours spent tweaking your website or obsessing over your offer. The fastest path to your next sale may already be sitting in your phone.
