The More Profitable Podcast with Stacey Harris

Why “Being Too Much” Is Costing You Sales

Stacey Harris Episode 674

Most podcasters I talk to are worried about sounding “too salesy.” They don’t want to push too hard. They don’t want to annoy people.

And I get it. You don’t want to sound like a walking infomercial.

But here’s the problem. That fear of being too much is precisely what’s keeping your podcast from doing its job. Your show should be a sales asset. That means you need to be okay being clear, confident, and yes—a little salesy.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re unpacking the mindset that keeps podcasters from selling and the brass tacks strategy that fixes it. So if you’ve been avoiding the CTA or dancing around your offer, this one’s for you.
