Key Takeaways:

"Your services are a gift and selling is just a way of the invitation. It's like an invitation to the party. Some people will say no and some people will say yes. And that's nothing to do with you. It's nothing even to do with them. Sometimes it's just timing." - April Meese

"The more sales you make, the more people you can help. So you have to believe in yourself, right? We have to believe in ourselves. We have to believe that sales is serving and we are reaching people in a different way." - April Meese

"It takes courage to show up and to get no's or feel like you're going to have some rejection. To put something out there and have nobody comment. To put something out there and have nobody respond. To have a promotion and have nobody buy. It's a hit on the ego, right? You're going to feel a certain way and that takes courage. That means you have to come out of your comfort zone." - April Meese

"Storytelling is about marketing and messaging and understanding what messaging is going to align with your audience. It's going to speak to their pain, present a solution, that is going to inspire them, that is going to motivate them, and that is going to bring them to action." - April Meese
