Today, Nikki is celebrating another sales success story with a member of the Sales Maven Society, Karen Rae. Karen is the founder of Fave Lifestyles, a lifestyle brand and community for women to amplify their expertise to the community seeking the resources to create their Fave life. Fave is a place for women in business to shine! Listen as they discuss the significant results Karen has gotten from implementing the things she and Nikki have worked on, plus much more on this episode of the Sales Maven Show.
Originally Karen came to Nikki for help with engaging with women in her online community without sounding salesy and instead becoming a resource for them. Nikki helped her by flipping the script and teaching her how to change her mindset on how to help and serve someone. She learned how to make the women she wanted to help the center of the conversation and engage by coming up with strategic questions.
Karen shares the results she has seen since she implemented the script that Nikki suggested. Karen also talks about how successful she has been at moving people from a DM to a live conversation to actually becoming one of the experts in the community. This is allowing her to now have conversations to identify whether or not it makes sense for this person’s business as well as for Fave to offer them the opportunity to be an expert.
Nikki believes Karen is a great example of implementation and seeing the results of it. She went from being a stay-at-home mom to building a business and went out of her way to understand what works for her and how to be willing to change things up. Karen says that what has really helped her is Nikki’s year of asking questions. She had never felt comfortable asking questions until Nikki told her it was ok to ask questions in business. Nikki knows you can pretty much say or ask anybody anything as long as you phrase it correctly.
Karen says that the number one biggest benefit for her of being a member of the Sales Maven Society has been the confidence she has gained. She was so scared to get out there and chat with people because she didn’t know what to say or how to say it. But because of the gentle, beautiful words that are talked about in the different scenarios and how to create those conversations have given her the confidence to talk to people.
