Fix This, Grow Fast

If starting conversations in your network marketing business makes you cringe, the problem may not be prospecting—it may be the scripts you were taught to use.In this episode, Genevieve Skory breaks down why generic, copy-and-paste DMs get ignored, screened out, or blocked—and why forcing yourself to send messages that don’t sound like you can actually make prospecting harder over time.You’ll learn a more authentic approach to network marketing prospecting: how to start genuine conversations, make people feel seen, ask better questions, and stop treating every new contact like someone you need to convert.Genevieve also shares a simple framework for starting three real conversations a day without pitching, pressure, or awkward sales tactics.If you’re tired of cold messaging scripts, uncomfortable DMs, and prospecting strategies that make you want to throw your phone across the room, this episode will show you how to build your network marketing business through authentic connection instead.RESOURCESFree 7-day trial to The Network Marketing Growth Academy (our community + system)https://www.skool.com/network-marketing-academy-7884/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

She said, "This sounds amazing, let me think about it" — and then she vanished. So you left her alone, because reaching out again feels desperate and pushy. And you told yourself if she's interested, she'll come back.Here's the truth: she probably won't. But not for the reason you think.You weren't bad at follow-up. You were handed a weird, awful version of it.This week, Gen reframes follow-up completely. Inside this episode: the one-question test that tells you whether a message is worth sending, three word-for-word follow-up sequences you can use today, and the mindset shift that turns follow-up from something you dread into how you find the women actually worth your time.Because the right ones don't need to be chased. And follow-up, done right, is exactly how you find them.Want to go deeper than the show goes?

You're doing everything right — posting, messaging, showing up — and it's still going backward. Here's the part nobody tells you: it's not your effort. It's where you're putting it.In this episode, Gen breaks down the three phases every buying brain must move through — in order — before anyone says yes. Most women in this business pour everything into the last phase (the information) and wonder why nobody moves. The problem isn't your audience size. It's that you're skipping the two phases that make her care in the first place.RESOURCESFree 7-day trial to The Network Marketing Confidence Academy (our community + system)https://www.skool.com/network-marketing-academy-7884/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

Imagine standing in front of a room full of women at your very first retreat — books bound, everyone excited — and realizing the pages of chapter two were printed backward. Not a typo. Backward. That actually happened to me, and it was only the beginning.In this episode, I'm walking you through the eight (okay, closer to ten) things that went wrong at my first retreat (the haboob that took out the umbrella might be my favorite). Not because they're funny (some of them are), but because every one of them taught me something I couldn't have learned any other way.If you've been carrying around your mistakes as evidence that you're not ready yet, this one's for you. RESOURCESFree 7-day trial to The Network Marketing Confidence Academy (our community + system)https://www.skool.com/network-marketing-academy-7884/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

For years, I thought that if I could just find the better script, the better close, the better way to handle objections... that would be the thing that finally made it work. Some of it helped. None of it was the thing.Because underneath it all, I was doing something I didn't even realize I was doing: every time something didn't work, I shifted the responsibility up one link. Sales manager. Upline. Upline's upline. Corporate. The comp plan. I just kept climbing until I ran out of people to blame.I call it the blame chain. Your business's success depends on your understanding this principle thoroughly. And that's what we talk about in today's episode.RESOURCESFree 7-day trial to The Network Marketing Confidence Academy (our community + system)https://www.skool.com/network-marketing-academy-7884/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

I took my daughter wedding dress shopping at two different stores. Same dresses. Similar prices. Completely different experience. One was so-so, the other was magical.That's what we're breaking down today — and more importantly, how you build that exact experience for the women you're trying to reach.In this episode, we cover the specific internal lie your customer is living inside that keeps the business or life she wants just out of reach, and why naming it changes everything. We cover the four language signals you're already sending before you ever show a product or quote a price — signals that are telling the women you want to attract whether this is designed for someone like them or inadvertently pushing them away.This isn't about a better script. This is about experiencing sales in a completely new way.RESOURCESFree 7-day trial to The Sales Confidence Studio (our community + system)Including the 7-Day Sales Transformationhttps://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

You did everything right. The conversation was warm, she was nodding, she even said "this is exactly what I've been looking for." And then you said the price — and something shifted.Here's the truth most people will never tell you: she decided before you finished the sentence. And it wasn't about the number (hint: it had something to do with your nervous system).In this episode, Gen breaks down co-regulation — the silent conversation happening between two nervous systems — and why your customer feels your hesitation long before she hears your words. Most people don't need a better script. They need to do the nervous system work. That's what we unpack inside this episode.RESOURCESFree 7-day trial to The Sales Confidence Studio (our community + system)Including the 7-Day Sales Transformationhttps://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

You're following the system. The conversations are great. The signals are all there—and then, nothing. She goes quiet.So you tell yourself a story. She didn't want it. It's their loss. I'm not going to waste my time. And just like that, you close a door that was still wide open.In this episode, I'm reframing everything you think silence means. Because quiet is not no. No response is not no. Silence is not a verdict—and it's almost never what you think it is.I'll walk you through what's actually happening when a prospect (or a team member) goes quiet, the three things that silence is really telling you, and why the answer is never another script or a "just checking in" message. We'll get into the difference between interested and ready, why your reach-out should be one of six or seven conversations and not a single shot, and the real reason most women don't lean in when things go quiet.Here's the truth: this isn't a tactics problem. It's a self-worth problem. And that's actually the best news, because it's completely fixable.When you stop tying your worth to a response, you can hold steady, stay objective, and offer perspective when she's too close to her own fear to see clearly. That's leadership. That's what makes selling feel like you again.RESOURCESFree 7-day trial to The Sales Confidence Studio (our community + system)Including the 7-Day Sales Transformationhttps://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

This episode is for two types of women.The first learned (maybe from a mentor, an upline, or a manager) that keeping herself small was the price of belonging. The second picked up a framework she didn't consciously choose: a framework about who deserves her belief, her time, her investment.In this episode, we go deep on something I see in nearly every high-performing woman I coach: the invisible damage left by narcissistic leadership. We're talking about the "temperature shift," the "scarcity spotlight," "selective celebration," and how authority over belief quietly reshapes an entire team culture — without anyone ever saying a word about it.If you haven't listened to last week's episode on self-worth vs. self-esteem, start there first. It's the foundation for everything we cover here.RESOURCESFind out what the 8 mistakes most network marketers make, and how to fix them for good.https://www.skool.com/network-marketing-academy-7884/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

Most high-achieving women don't have a self-worth problem. They have a self-esteem problem — and nobody's talking about the difference.Self-esteem is conditional. Self-worth is the unconditional belief that you have value regardless of what the scoreboard says. In this episode, Genevieve breaks down the three places this shows up for high performers.She also shares the story of working under a boss whose own insecurity required her to dim her light — and how that adaptation followed her. If you're a leader, listen twice. Once for yourself. Once for the women on your team who are learning what they're allowed to want by watching you.RESOURCESFind out what the 8 mistakes most network marketers make, and how to fix them for good.https://www.skool.com/network-marketing-academy-7884/aboutSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?

What does it take to build something from nothing when no one believed in you from the start?Audrey Sommerfeld — CEO and founder of Jump2Health — grew up in a town of 200 people, was the first in her family to go to college, and was told women didn't need to. She was born with physical challenges, spent years in braces, and faced one of the lowest moments a person can face. She got back up.In this episode, Audrey shares what actually fueled her — and what she's learned after decades in corporate nutrition, pharma, and now running her own health company — about what most of us are getting wrong with our health every single day.In this episode: Why sugar is your number one health enemy — and how much you're eating without knowing it The fiber gap most Americans don't know they have (and what to do about it) Why supplements can help, but can't save you from a bad diet The three things Audrey says separate successful entrepreneurs from everyone else Her philosophy on hearing "no" — and why it almost never means what you think Audrey's mission is simple: help people reclaim their health through education, real ingredients, and small sustainable steps.Connect with Audrey and Jump2Health: jump2health.com RESOURCES Get your free 7-Day Sales Confidence Transformationhttps://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studioHonest Check-in PDFhttps://honest.gskory.com/form-pageSubscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results).https://newsletter.gskory.com/Need help now?
