In this episode of the Sell Like A Woman podcast, I address the anxiety-inducing stage of sales: handling objections. I reveal my five-step Feminine Sales Objection Handling framework—Clarify, Isolate, Label, Empower, and Diffuse. Tailored specifically for women, this framework avoids outdated and pushy sales tactics, instead offering solutions that align with women's unique strengths and emotional intelligence.

I share my personal journey from being anxious and struggling with sales to achieving a 70% closing rate with 2-3x higher package prices.

You will learn actionable strategies to handle objections confidently, maintain high-status pricing, and foster a collaborative sales process that focuses on transformation rather than features.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most powerful pieces of my Feminine Sales Framework—handling objections with confidence and ease. As the founder of Confident Sales Women, I’ve helped so many female coaches and entrepreneurs transform how they approach sales conversations by getting ahead of objections before they even come up.

I’ll share my personal journey with sales burnout, how I used to dread objections, and the exact strategies I now use to pre-handle resistance in a way that feels aligned, authentic, and pressure-free. You’ll learn how to spot common objections early, guide the conversation with empathy and leadership, and help your prospects make empowered decisions—without ever feeling salesy or pushy.

This one’s packed with actionable tips to help you boost your conversion rates, deepen connection, and sell in a way that actually feels good.

Here’s the breakdown:

In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that’s not talked about enough—why so many women in business feel completely burnt out by sales. If you’re a coach, entrepreneur, or online business owner who’s ever felt drained, out of alignment, or even “icky” when selling… you’re not alone.

I’ll walk you through the real reason this happens: traditional sales were built by men, for men—and they often go against the way we naturally operate as women. I’ll share how I transitioned from masculine, high-pressure sales tactics to a more feminine, aligned way of selling—and why that changed everything in my business.

I’ll also break down what the Feminine Sales Framework is, how it works, and how it allows you to sell in a way that feels good—focusing on deep listening, holding space, validating emotions, and building real connection.

If you’ve ever wished you could sell with more ease and less pressure, this one’s for you. Oh—and don’t forget to take the free quiz I created to help you uncover your unique selling type so you can start showing up in a way that actually works for you.

I share the real mindset shifts, skill-building strategies, and business habits that separate struggling coaches from those who scale to $10k+ months. Plus, I'll tell you the ONE thing that will help you sign more clients faster. If you're ready for some tough love and real talk, this episode is for you.

In the last episode, we talked about why building trust is the key to turning your followers into clients. But trust alone isn’t enough—you need to guide them through a journey that makes them see YOU as the obvious solution to their problems.

Today, I’m walking you through exactly what your audience needs to understand before they’ll ever buy from you. By the end, you’ll have complete clarity on what to post so your content naturally leads people to sign up.

We’re covering:
👉 The real problem your audience has vs. what they think their problem is
👉 How to bridge the gap so they see your solution as the only answer
👉 The secret to authority positioning (so you’re not just a “gym bestie”)
👉 Why your coaching isn’t selling—and how to position it as a transformation, not just a service

Once you master this, you’ll never struggle with content or followers again—clients will start coming to YOU.

Tired of posting every day and getting zero fitness clients?

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why this is happening and how to fix it—without sending a million cold DMs or running paid ads.

For years, I showed up consistently in my online fitness business, but my DMs were dry, and clients weren’t rolling in. Once I cracked the code on implementing a strategic nurture sequence, everything changed—clients started reaching out to me, and I didn’t even need to rely on sales calls anymore.

Inside this episode, I bust the biggest myths keeping you stuck, including:
🚫 "People don’t want to buy from me." (They do—you just need to guide them.)
🚫 "The algorithm is against me." (It’s not—you're a business owner, not an influencer.)
🚫 "I need more followers." (Nope—some of my best clients hit $10k months with under 2k followers.)
🚫 "The market is too saturated." (Not if you know how to market and sell.)
🚫 "People can’t afford coaching." (They can, and they do—when they see the value.)

The real problem? Trust. If you’re not guiding your audience through a nurture sequence, they’re never going to take action.

Today, we go ALL the way back to where fitness all began for me as a kid, the hardships I went through, the mistakes I made, the lessons I've learned, and where I am now as a fitness coach and competitive bodybuilder.

I went from over 200lbs and overweight + depressed, to stage lean/skinny and down 80lbs....to now the heaviest I've been in 6 years and THRIVING in a bulking phase.

DM me on Instagram @exercisefordonuts if you listened and tell me YOUR story!! Don't need to add context - just share with me in a text or voice note :) I'd LOVE to hear it!!
