082: Myths Costing You Thousands

I've been doing this podcast for a while now, and lately I feel like we've been moving fast. Quick lessons, straight into tactics, on to the next thing. This episode is me hitting pause on that, on purpose. I want to talk about in-person sales, and specifically, the three myths that are keeping so many of you from ever trying it. Not because IPS is complicated. Because you've been told things about it that just are not true. Here's what sparked this one. A few weeks ago I was driving into the studio and the idea for this episode hit me. That same day, within twelve hours, I got a voice note from a photographer I'd barely spoken to. She told me exactly what was scaring her about making this switch. It lined up with what I'd been thinking about that morning, so I knew I had to build the episode around her words instead of mine. In this episode I'm breaking down the three myths I hear more than anything else. You have to dramatically raise your prices to do IPS. You have to start selling albums and frames and take on a whole new workflow you don't have time for. Your current clients will get angry and leave you. None of them are true, and I walk through exactly why and how to understand IPS better so that we can change your mindset around it. I talk to you about a student who made over twenty two thousand dollars in a single month selling nothing but digitals (no products at all!!) And the real story of what fifteen years of an all-inclusive model actually cost me. Spoiler, it's well over a million dollars. If you've been putting off IPS because you're scared of one of these three things, this episode is for you. And if you're ready to actually build this out in your own business, the pricing structure, the reveal process, the launch system, that is exactly what we work on together inside the Mastermind. For the first time ever, I'm backing it with a guarantee.
