Selling products online is not a predictable game. You‘ve to be prepared for curves, pivots, and immediate change-of-plans. You’ve to be prepared to not let failures define you.

Alison J. Prince, our guest for today’s episode and an incredibly successful seller and entrepreneur, takes this lesson a notch higher and tells you that your first (or second or third) product doesn’t define you. In her personal journey, she’s learned to use every experience as a confidence-building learning. It’s the same lesson she used to coach her daughters to make six figures before reaching high school. And the same she’s using to teach her boys how to start a business face-to-face.

Join us on the Fearless Seller podcast today to learn from her the importance of being messy, learning, and not being afraid to pivot to new products.

Alison also discusses marketing trends and how they are shifting towards sustainable brands, storytelling, and human connection. And if you think standing out with over-edited videos and sales pitches is what works these days, you’ll be surprised to know it isn’t.

It’s blending in and peer-to-peer recommendations for the win! Learn more through the conversation.

Episode Lessons:

• Use personal pain to create products that help others
• Show compassion to customers
• Create products that serve a specific audience
• Keep a file of positive testimonials for motivation and a file of negative reviews for comedic relief and to show growth
• Celebrate small wins and don't dismiss them
• It's okay to pivot and try different products, Hershey started with caramel, Wrigley's started with baking soda, Jeff Bezos started with books
• Entrepreneurs can get antsy and spread too thin, it's important to consolidate and not lose sight of the original goal of having freedom and enjoying life
• Raw and natural videos work better than over-edited videos, blending in with people's world and peer-to-peer recommendations are effective in influencer marketing.
• Small influencers can still drive significant sales.
• Algorithms on social media platforms value good content.
• Confidence in your product and knowing your customer is crucial.
• You don't need to invent something new; you can sell what people are already buying.
• Starting to sell now is more important than having a patented and trademarked idea from the start.
