5 Ways to Sell More

Selling can feel like an uphill battle, especially when traditional sales tactics feel out of sync with your style or your values. But here’s the thing—selling doesn’t have to be pushy or overly salesy to be effective. In fact, the way you approach sales makes all the difference. Selling with honesty, clarity, and purpose? That’s where the magic happens.


Read on for 5 ways to sell more (without actually feeling like you’re selling).


1. Know Your Solution Inside and Out

Before you jump into any sales strategy, get crystal clear on this: what problem do you solve, and how does your solution stand out? Whether it’s a product, a service, or a creative offer, this is the core of everything you’ll share.


Why it matters: When you focus on the solution you provide, it shifts your mindset. Suddenly, you’re not “selling” a product; you’re offering help, value, and transformation.


2. Share Your Solution in an Authentic Way

People are constantly bombarded with sales pitches, so being real and showing up with authenticity will set you apart. Here are some ideas on how to share your solution without making it just about the sale:

  • Social Media Content: Share the benefits of your solution through stories, posts, or even quick tips.

  • Live Videos: Go live to talk about what you offer, answer questions, or give an honest look into your work.

  • Breakdowns, BTS (Behind the Scenes), and Workshops: Show your audience the process, struggles, and wins that come with your solution. It builds trust and keeps them engaged.

  • Interviews with Clients & Peers: Let your happy clients or collaborators share their experience with your solution—it’s a powerful way to sell without selling.

  • Showcase the Transformation: Talk about the before and after. People love to see the journey from problem to solution and the difference it makes.


Why it works: These methods allow people to see your solution in action. They get to experience your passion, your expertise, and your authenticity—building trust and credibility naturally.


3. Extend Genuine Invitations

A key part of effective selling is making sure people feel invited, not pressured. Ask yourself, “Am I opening the door for them to explore, learn, and decide for themselves?” Here’s how you can do this:

  • Invite them to Experience the Solution: Give them a taste of what you offer, whether that’s through a free trial, a sample, or a discovery call.

  • Encourage Them to Join: Let them know they’re welcome to be a part of your journey, your services, or your community.

  • Create Space for Dialogue: A sales pitch should feel like an open invitation, not a demand. This way, they feel free to engage, ask questions, and explore further.


Why it’s powerful: Invitations make people feel valued and give them a sense of autonomy. It’s their choice to explore, not a push to commit.


4. Keep It Simple & Clear

Sometimes, we can overcomplicate things in an effort to sound professional or “convincing.” The truth? The clearer and simpler your offer, the better. Here’s a quick checklist to keep things straightforward:

  • Meet People Where They Are: Understand their current situation and tailor your approach to match.

  • Align Your Offer with Their Needs: Take time to discuss if and how your solution aligns with what they’re looking for.

  • Offer the Solution (Directly!): Don’t dance around the ask. If it fits, let them know and offer it up simply.


Why simplicity wins: When your offer is clear and easy to understand, it makes the decision-making process easier for them too. They know exactly what they’re getting into!


5. Be Transparent (It Builds Trust Instantly)

Transparency is my absolute favorite—honestly, it’s a non-negotiable. When you’re upfront about your offers, timelines, bonuses, and even the limitations of your service, people appreciate it more than you’d think.


Here’s how I keep it real:

  • Full Disclosure of All Offers: No surprises—any offer I have is available to everyone.

  • Bonuses & Extras are Public Knowledge: When I add bonuses, I share them openly, no secret offers here!

  • Clear Deadlines and Limited Spaces: If something’s limited, I’m upfront about it so people know exactly where they stand.


Why transparency matters: It builds trust! When people see that you’re upfront and honest, they’ll be more likely to trust you, and eventually, to buy from you.

When you sell with honesty, clarity, and purpose, you’re not just moving products or signing clients—you’re genuinely serving others. So if you’re ready to master your sales strategy and want 1:1 support to nail down your messaging, marketing, and lead generation, check out my Sales Masterclass!
