How to Create Clear Business Messaging That Converts | EP 25
You've updated your website. You've rewritten your offers. You've posted about your service's countless times. But somehow, people still ask questions you thought you already answered. They hesitate during discovery calls, saying "I think I get it, but I'm not sure." Sound familiar? That frustration isn't about your expertise, it's about clarity. Along with the gap between what makes sense in your head and what actually lands with your audience. Which can cost you clients, revenue and momentum.
Today, we're going over overlooked challenges. Those assumptions that sabotage your messaging. We explore why clarity isn't about how well YOU can explain. But how can someone repeat it back to you? There are stories shared from both of us from real-world examples in our own businesses. While revealing how soft skills like self-awareness, confidence, and intentional communication become the foundation for building a business that resonates
What to listen for in this episode:
Clarity isn't about explanation, it's about repetition: True clarity means your audience can explain your business to a friend in one sentence. If they can't, you're likely making assumptions about what they already know. Remove insider language, jargon, and industry fluff. Read your copy out loud and ask: would a fifth grader understand this? The simpler your message, the stronger your momentum.
Context grounds your message in reality: Don't just say what you do, explain who it's for, when they need it, and what problem it solves right now. This removes guesswork and helps potential clients identify whether you're the right fit.
Soft skills fuel your business clarity: Confidence, self-awareness, empathy and communication are soft skills that help connect your message. Growing your business starts with growing your self-awareness. Because how you communicate impacts how you show up.
If someone had to explain your business to a friend in one sentence, could they—or are your assumptions getting in the way?
Whether you’re looking to grow your visibility through Pinterest Marketing or streamline your Podcast Operations and Team Management, we help business owners and creatives build sustainable systems that work for them, not against them.
