How to Sell to Friends Without It Being Awkward
If you glanced at the episode title before clicking in, you probably felt a bit of awkwardness. Trust me, you’re not alone! On this episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast, I’m diving deep into how to sell to friends – and doing it without all the weird, uncomfortable vibes.
We’ve all been there: maybe someone hit you up with an awkward sales pitch for their network marketing or MLM business, and you wished they hadn’t. The idea of selling to friends stirs up memories of those uncomfortable moments. So when you’re told that your first sales will likely come from your own network, how do you make that happen without crossing boundaries or turning into “that person”? Lucky for you, that’s exactly what we’re covering today – and I’ve also got a special offer to help with those first sales!
Why Sales Always Felt Awkward to Me
Let me be real with you – sales conversations used to make me straight up uncomfortable. Whenever I felt like I was “selling at” someone, or pitching to a friend without knowing how they’d receive it, my body would literally react. I used to get a red rash that started in my cleavage and spread all the way up my neck and face during early sales calls, especially those first few months in business. It was so distracting – I was on video calls, watching this rash go wild, all because I was so uncomfortable with sales. It’s funny now, but back then, it was mortifying.
You might think I’ve always been comfortable selling, but the truth is, it's been a learning curve. I still get those awkward feelings, but over time, I’ve designed my own strategy to keep the discomfort at bay.
