  • I can’t believe I’m now saying this…”Sales is exciting”
    June 1, 2023 by abalone girl from Australia

    Having been an entrepreneur for almost 3 decades delivering services to big corporates through my first 2 companies I managed to avoid ‘doing sales’ as business just seemed to come in the door and sales was the last thing on earth I wanted to do. However, I watched competitors enter the market well after me and they dominated. Hmmm!! So, when I launched by 3rd company I just knew that I had to get my head around this thing called sales and all the jargon that went with it… lead gen, qualified lead, CTA yes… OMG! I just had no idea. Enter stage left the one and only Jessica Lorrimer and side-kick dog Max (sound effects expert) and I was hooked. Jess’s podcast is so unbelievably good. After binging all episodes I regularly go back and listen again and again for more ideas, inspiration and laughs. The biggest breakthrough for me was Jess unpacking in super simple terms the purpose of each stage of the sales cycle. I now look forward to the time I schedule each week to focus on sales (I really can’t believe I said that!). Seriously Jess’s commitment to sharing her knowledge, experience and know-how is next to none. Thank you so very much Jess, you’ve had such an impact on my world and the success of my business(es).
