ROI meets ROR: Return on Relationships and Serving Before Selling with Jillian Murphy
In this powerful and down-to-earth episode of the Present & Powerful Podcast, Lyndsey is joined by Jillian Murphy, a magnetic sales mentor and entrepreneur who went from corporate success to creating a thriving seven-figure business without a website.
Together, we dive deep into Jillian’s journey of identity, resilience, and reinvention after an unexpected job loss became the spark for building a business on her own terms. She shares how the power of real relationships, discipline, and a value-first mindset became the foundation of her success.
We also talk about integrity in sales, simplifying your offers, and why showing up consistently (even when it’s hard) is non-negotiable. This episode is a masterclass in selling with heart and staying committed to the bigger vision especially when no one’s watching.
