When Selling Feels Icky: 4 Powerful Questions That Will Help You Beat Sales Aversion

As entrepreneurs, selling comes with the job. We have to put ourselves out there and offer what we have to transform lives, but what happens when the idea of selling feels gross, pushy and difficult? 

Sales aversion is a really common problem I see in a lot of clients - no matter how much they know, and how many people they have helped. Stumbling in sales is driven by deeply-rooted beliefs about who we are, and yes, it might just go back to childhood trauma. 

How do we unearth why sales feels so difficult for us, and how do we create a healthier understanding of what it means to sell? 

In this episode, we’re going to talk about sales aversion, where it comes from and what to do about it.
