Being "salesy" is killing you 😭

Hey friend,

Here’s a hard truth:
Being “salesy” is killing your business.

It’s turning people off.
It’s draining your energy.
And it’s not even working.

But here’s the good news:
There’s a better way.

It’s called storytelling.

Because stories don’t feel like sales.
They feel like conversations.
Connections.
Moments that matter.

Think about it:
When was the last time you bought something because of a bullet point?

Exactly.

But a story?
That sticks.
That moves people.
That sells without feeling sleazy.

Here’s how to make the shift:

1. Ditch the pitch.
   Start with a problem your audience knows too well.

2. Make it relatable.
   Your story isn’t about you, it’s about them.

3. Show, don’t tell.
   Paint a picture they can see themselves in.

4. End with hope.
   Leave them thinking, “That could be me.”

When you focus on storytelling…
You’re not just selling a product.
You’re selling a possibility.

And that’s where the magic happens.

So, if you’re tired of feeling like a pushy salesperson…
It’s time to try something different.

Stop selling.
Start storytelling.

Stay sharp,
Stephen

P.S. If you’re ready to ditch the “salesy” act and let storytelling do the heavy lifting, let’s talk. Real selling starts with real stories, let’s write yours.
