🎙️ Conversations That Sell (Without Being Salesy) with Cori Josias | The Art of Value Whispering Podcast (Episode 312) For many business owners, sales conversations can feel uncomfortable. You worry about saying the wrong thing. Coming across as pushy. Or hearing the word "no." So instead, you spend more time creating content, tweaking your website or waiting until you feel more confident. But what if confidence isn't the missing piece? What if the real key to growing your business isn't posting more... but having more meaningful conversations? In this episode of The Art of Value Whispering Podcast, I'm joined by business coach Cori Josias to explore a refreshing alternative to the "always be posting" approach to marketing. Rather than relying on endless social media content or complicated funnels, Cori has built a thriving coaching business through genuine one-to-one conversations. Together, we explore why commitment matters more than confidence, how deep listening can become your greatest marketing advantage, and why creating clarity is far more powerful than trying to convince someone to buy. If you've ever wished there was a more natural, relationship-led way to market your business, this conversation will show you why meaningful conversations still outperform transactional selling. 💡 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE ★ Why commitment creates confidence, not the other way around ★ How deep listening helps build trust and stronger client relationships ★ What makes a sales conversation feel supportive instead of salesy ★ Why the goal of every sales conversation should be clarity, not persuasion ★ How gifted coaching sessions can help clients experience your value before they buy ★ Why meaningful conversations will always outperform transactional selling ★ How to find a marketing strategy that fits your personality, values and business *********************************************** 🎧 Prefer to Listen?
