Ep. 132 - What You're Getting Wrong About Selling with Orly Wachter MSc, RD

This one started as a catch-up call that Whitney and Orly both walked away from thinking, we should have recorded that. So they recorded it. It's a loose, honest conversation about selling, the mindset work underneath selling, and what it actually takes to put yourself out there when everything in business feels like it's shifting. Orly shares the 30-day experiment she ran on a whim earlier this year and why it was the easiest thing she's ever sold. Whitney talks about the overthinking spiral that used to eat all her energy before a launch even started, and the two of them get into pricing, follow-up, objections, and why talking to real humans beats another round of edits on your sales page. If you have something sitting half-finished waiting to be perfect, consider this your nudge.Takeaways:You can't perfect what doesn't exist. Put the thing out there, watch what happens, and improve it from real data instead of guesses.When something doesn't sell, dig past the obvious explanation. One of Orly's clients was sure her webinar didn't convert and wanted to scrap it, when the real issue was that she taught the whole time and barely sold at all.Selling starts way before the buy button. Your job is to help people see the real problem, understand why the quick fixes failed them, and recognize how your approach is different.Your worth isn't part of the pricing conversation. Price off your actual business math, and let a no be a no about fit or timing.Go deeper on what you're already doing instead of adding more to your plate. The emails, posts, and conversations already in your week can carry more of a sales message than they currently do.Connect with Orly:Website: orlywachter.comInstagram: @orlywachterLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/orlywachterResources mentioned:The Sell Your Sh!t bingo card, a set of small connection and outreach actions Whitney and Orly built for themselves.
