Make that money, honey! It's one thing to build your lead generation pipeline, but another thing to close sales and make money from your leads.
This workshop is designed to show you the conversation path that helps us, as humans, make decisions when it comes to monetary investments.
There are ways to be "less salesy" and we will definitely cover this topic! You'll get real examples of how to lead a prospect through your sales conversation so that you can generate more sales in 2025. Come join us for instruction as well as interactive exercises. You know more about how to sell than you realize and this workshop will get you closing sales faster and with more ease!
Mary has worked behind-the-scenes in large coaching companies selling high ticket offers in excess of $25,000 per sale which is how she learned the art of high ticket sales. She also is the owner of a retired high ticket mastermind that sold for $10,000 per year as well as executive coaching packages that started at $10,000 per quarter. Mary's best individual sales day to-date was about $250,000. Sadly, it was for someone else... but it also proves that mere mortals are totally capable of selling darn near anything.
Mary Williams is the CEO and founder of Sensible Woo, home of The School of Moxie Podcast. A librarian by trade, who established herself in the entertainment industry as the digital archivist for a major animation production studio, she has consulted for not only entertainment companies, but also marketing agencies, tech start-ups, and non-profit fundraising organizations.
For the last eight years, she’s been a business coach for highly-sensitive, neurodivergent business owners, championing the focus on systems and data management as a solid foundation for sustainable businesses that scale. The motto at Sensible Woo is that you are always your best system, which means embracing the magic of your intuitive side is just as important as the data your business produces.
Mary has been an online content creator since 2010, which makes her a tough old bird in the online entrepreneurship community and you should definitely ask her about all the crazy shit she’s seen people do online over the years. You can travel with Mary as she records guests in studios through her weekly emails, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads.
