Highlights
Do you think sales and yoga are incompatible opposites? Or perhaps a necessary evil?
On the podcast this week, my guest Amanda Kingsmith makes the case that sales are a necessary part of being a yoga teacher, that they don’t have to feel slimy, and that they can actually be a catalyst for personal growth.
Our conversation also dives into:
–>What Amanda learned working on the sales floor at Lululemon
–>The difference between convincing and offering
–>The inner work that is the first step to getting better at sales – and making them feel more comfortable.
–>How to make sales feel like service.
Inspired Action
After you listen to the episode, Amanda invites you to sit down with a journal and brainstorm on the following four questions:
- What does success mean to me?
- What is one thing I really want to do with my teaching or business?
- What is one thing that is holding me back right now?
- What is my relationship to money?
