Purpose Driven Sales & Marketing With Cody May

Original Air Date: April 12, 2021

There are people who are just pure geniuses at marketing. 

And then there are people who are genuinely amazing human beings. 

I’m going, to be honest - it is rare to see these qualities overlap. 

My guest this week, Cody May, is one of those truly special people who is both a genius at marketing and a kind and gracious person. 

Having been in this industry for a while, I can tell you, it is refreshing. 

On top of that, you’re going to get the chance to learn some seriously valuable marketing, sales, and entrepreneurial insights. 

Cody is the co-founder of Create Your Purpose, a motivational and uplifting brand to help people find their purpose and experience fulfillment throughout life. 

He is also the COO of the full-service digital marketing agency StudioPTBO. 

In this interview, we cover everything from marketing psychology, what’s working in Facebook Ads Land, how to book calls and the blueprint for a successful sales call. 

Like me, Cody believes in relationship centered marketing. 

His commitment to living a purposeful life shines through in the advice he offers to all of us on this episode. 

Trust me, this is a must listen. 

Do yourself this favor. 

And hit play. 

You rock.

Conscious Sales With Nina Concepcion

Original Air Date: August 28, 2020

Sales. Salesperson. Closer. 

Most people have visceral reactions to these words and phrases, and almost all of us hold stereotypes or preconceived notions of what they mean. 

First off, we usually think of a man. 

Probably a white guy. 

Headset on, maybe. 

Yelling, probably.

Definitely intense, right? 

Maybe you envision the Wolf of Wall Street, or buying a car? 

Here’s the thing.  

If you have a life-changing idea, product, service, business, and/or brand, you are going to need to engage in sales. 

Even if you’re a nonprofit, you’re selling something. 

Even if you’re an activist, you’re selling something. 

For my entrepreneurs, business owners and side hustlers: sales is probably one of the biggest roadblocks holding you back right now. 

No matter how much exposure, leads, or prospects you get, if you can’t close them – if you’re afraid of sales – it will all be for naught. 

Now, this is usually where the tight feeling in our stomachs comes up. Or the explanation for how “my business is different though” starts to make its way into the conversation. 

But before we go there. Let me introduce to you this week’s guest: Nina Concepcion. 

Nina is here to turn all of your assumptions upside down. 

Nina is a master and teacher of Conscious Sales: a co-creation and a synergistic relationship between two or more people that is beneficial for both parties and the rest of the world. 

Now I bet that sounds more in alignment with your values, right? 

Sales and selling don’t have to be ugly. 

When done right, it provides growth, opportunity, and a step forward. 

I invite you to take a few minutes of your week and hear what Nina has to say. 

Not only will it change your entire perspective on what it means to be in sales, you’ll also have the opportunity to meet a truly remarkable entrepreneur. 

In addition, you’ll get to hear Nina talk about:

-How your values drive your life

-How to get your coaching business off the ground

-The power of social media

-What to do on a sales call

-What’s stopping you from moving forward

-How to overcome self-sabotage and step into your inner power 

I’m telling you: this interview is essential! 

Hit play and let me know what your number one takeaway was.

Websites are often the most neglected tool in our entrepreneur toolbox. 

We know they have the ability to convert leads into customers, build brand awareness, and communicate our authority. 

And yet, creating or updating our website remains on the “I’ll get to this soon” to-do list. 

This week’s episode is your moment to move past hesitation'

Our guest, Michanae Edwards, is the owner and designer behind Michanae’s Designs.

She specifically works with female service providers who are interested in a more minimalist and holistic approach to design. Someone who’s looking for a website and brand to be designed strategically to achieve a certain goal.

She is a creative genius when it comes to designing minimalist and strategic websites. 

In the middle of this episode, you will get to hear the HUGE aha moment that Michanae brought up for me on what I was doing wrong.  It was such a big aha that I immediately hired Michanae right after the interview to solve the brand design problem she uncovered.

Funemployment and Redefining Success With Janna Hall

This week I’m joined by Janna Hall, a Richmond, VA native and CEO of Leap Innovative Group, a digital marketing and brand development agency. Janna began her career in digital marketing when she relocated to New York City in 2011, working at agencies and large non-profits. In February 2016, Janna decided to bring her experience to her hometown by starting her own company to provide strategy development, execution, and copywriting services to local and national brands.

Janna’s passion for entrepreneurship inspired her to launch Funemployed, a brand, community and movement that provides resources to educate & connect dreamers who are monetizing their passion and working to do what they love full-time. With her platform, Janna mentors local youth while teaching them employable skills and plants seeds of entrepreneurship. 

On this episode, we discuss her journey from what appeared to be “living her best life” in New York to actually having the courage to put her real dreams into action with her own company. We also talk about what it takes to get to the ultimate state of self-awareness to determine the kind of life you want to live, and how to take steps to achieve exactly that. Above all, Janna believes that success should be measured not by societal standards and pressure, but by our willingness to take the leap and cultivate the life of our wildest dreams. 

You can find the Medium article where I met Janna here (5 Things Beyonce Taught Us about Building a Brand). Her digital marketing agency, including Funemployed, can be found here.
