What You’ll Learn From This Episode

“My first question is always what do you sell? Can you clearly define what you sell to your clients? And scarily, the answer more often than not isn’t clear.”

Maria Armstrong

“If you can’t define what you sell clearly enough, then how are your clients supposed to understand?”

Maria Armstrong

“As business owners, their job is to sell the concept of their business... to be constantly selling, even if you’re not salespeople.”

Maria Armstrong

“The myth that I’d like to dispel is you can only grow your business through new customer acquisition. And it’s a load of rubbish.”
