Discover how your open heart and your integrity, in the right structures, bring your best clients to happily say, “Yes, I’m ready! How do I pay?”

It’s a moment of truth, and for many it’s a painful truth. There are people who so obviously need what you offer, and yet they slip through your fingers.

It’s painful for three reasons. The first is that someone who really needs what you’re offering isn’t getting it, and that’s sad. The second reason is you don’t get paid.

The third reason is that if you are doing great work in the world, if your heart is in what you do, if you’re wanting to be an agent for change, we need you to succeed to help tip the scales from a life-draining to a life-enhancing economy.

Your open heart is the most powerful way to bring in more clients.

“Surrender” and “sales” don’t seem to go together, but the truth is that vulnerability, trust and love are the critical ingredients in connecting with new clients. Yet, they aren’t the only ingredients.

Like the human body, you also need the strength of a structure, like the skeleton that holds you up and enables you to move powerfully. Sales is an incredibly intimate process, and without both an open heart and an ethical, clear structure, you will not be able to connect with your best potential clients, the ones who really need your help, in a way that results in you getting paid.

How does getting paid well sound?

And you get to work with your most favorite clients. You know it’s possible. You’ve probably already experienced it to a certain extent.

We all want people to get the help they need, for you to do as well as you need to be comfortable, and to start to shift our broken economy towards something that nourishes everyone involved.

Can Selling Be Sacred?

Well, yes. It can. For selling to be both effective and sacred, you need three things.

1. Heart

It’s easy to stumble when talking about price, or asking someone if they are going to hire you. Yet when your heart is open and connected you’ll find you are standing on solid ground, especially in those challenging moments.

2. Preparation

Your clients are expecting a lot from you, and the sales conversation is the place where their trust deepens. You need to be prepared in very specific ways, so you can meet their needs without getting flustered or overwhelmed.

3. Structure

These conversations are different than just hanging out with friends. While you don’t want to follow a robotic script, you do need a structure that will support an organic sales conversation, like your skeleton supports your body.

With heart, preparation, and structure, suddenly the whole conversation is easy and fluid. Finally, finally your prospective clients, who have been wanting to say “Yes” to you, who want to pay you what you’re worth, can do so easily, with a whole heart.

Presenting:

In seven sessions over seven weeks, you’ll be filled with practical yet nourishing information, deep healing, and actual practice in every aspect of the sales conversation.

You will quickly feel much more confident, clear and at ease about selling.

Best of all, you’ll start enrolling clients and getting paid.

Is this what your heart and business are longing for?

• To feel calm, centered and clear when you talk to potential clients.
• To stop getting stuck in the “I’ll think about it,” doom loop.
• To have the right people say “Yes” and willingly pay you, on time.
• To stop stumbling when talking about the price and payment.
• To have someone be eager to work with you, and not compare you to someone else who is cheaper.

That’s what I want you to have, too. It’s so much more fun to be in business when you aren’t feeling like you have to chase people.

“Luscious!  Surprisingly deepening and enriching to what was already a fairly profound spiritual practice/approach to life… I feel much more at peace as a business woman/entrepreneur and more clear and confident in this realm than ever before.”

- Kathryn, Sacred Selling 2011 participant

What is so hard about these conversations?

These conversations are so hard because with sacredness comes a surprising amount of vulnerability and intimacy. Both for you, and for your potential client.

If you’ve wished for a real breakthrough in selling, to get more Yeses from the right people, and to get paid what you’re worth there’s good news: I’ve helped hundreds of clients do just that.

For me, I now have this sense that I could have a place in the business world, an incarnation in the business world that would hold me- and I haven’t really felt like there was room for that before. It always felt like I had to cut part of myself off- and I couldn’t ever really do it, or stand to do it. And this is the first time that I’ve really felt like this might actually work, and there might actually be a welcome for me.

And it’s deep for me (tears).
-Andrew Byron

When you join the Sacred Selling course, my primary focus will be on teaching you how to create four core results in your business:

1. Confidence and clarity when talking to potential clients/customers.
2. Freedom from any sense of being a piranha or on the hunt for hapless victims, instead having a real sense of integrity and heart.
3. An understanding of what to do in the challenging parts of a sales conversation.
4. More clients! More money! Having fun working with the right people who enjoy paying you.

You get there by going through seven 90-minute teaching sessions spread over nearly two months. This way you’re not overloaded and actually have time to integrate and put into practice what you’re learning.

Whether you are stretching into a new level of business or just starting out, this course can help you connect powerfully with your best clients.

Each step of the course will have practical implications, so you won’t have to wait until the very end to see results. Each time you improve something, whether it’s crafting an offer that sells itself, getting clear on your right price, or learning how to truly connect to someone even when you feel ‘off,’ you will see improvements in your selling.

And There’s the Statistics (94% Effective)

We’ve surveyed participants before and after the course, and here’s the results we’ve seen from Sacred Selling.

94% of the people who were struggling with different aspects of the sales conversation found themselves with the skills, approach, and heart-understanding they needed to enroll clients.

Is it time you had the same ease in enrolling clients and getting paid?

“This has been so wonderful! I feel like I finally “get” it. So much of the nuts and bolts I’ve heard before, learned before — or thought I had learned — but it was never taught in this way and brought together concepts of business with spiritual values. This approach just really hit the nail on the head for me and I SO appreciated an opportunity to dissect the sales conversation into these little (but important) aspects. I’ve never gotten to do that before and it’s been incredibly valuable! Thank you very much for your teaching, your openness and your passion.”

- Lisa, Sacred Selling 2011 participant

Here’s what you’ll be learning in these seven heart-centered, immediately practical teaching sessions.

Class One: Selling is Sacred and Crafting Your Offer

Tuesday, May 1, 1 p.m. pacific

In the first session you’ll find the pure heart of selling, something far different than what is usually experienced, which will bring both a structured context and a deep sense of relief in your approach to effective, honest selling.

Then we’ll plunge into the most critical first step of the sales process: making sure that what you’re selling is something people actually want! Unfortunately, for most heart-centered business owners, the offers they make look like roadblocks to their potential clients, and so of course people don’t easily buy.

The four-step “Crafting Your Offer” process means that half the struggle is gone before you even start a conversation, because an offer that is crafted from the heart sells itself.

Which leads right into…

Class Two: Your Right Price

Tuesday, May 8, 1 p.m. pacific

Pricing is a painful topic for nearly everyone, and with good reason. The solution to right pricing is not about going as high as the market can bear, and it’s not about pricing so low that you starve yourself. It’s about finding the right price that resonates for you, and that your right clients feel great giving to you.

The Your Right Price exercise has been used by thousands of clients over the years with surprising success. Finally you’ll have a price you can tell someone without stuttering.

With your offer crafted, and your right price from your heart, you’re ready for…

Class Three: Connection

Tuesday, May 15, 1 p.m. pacific

Connecting with others is both simple and… sometimes very challenging. The trouble is that how most of us were taught to connect is backwards from the reality of how connection happens. By understanding the spiritual nature of heart-connection, you’ll be able to effortlessly connect with anyone, even through nervousness or fear.

You’ll learn the Sequence of Connection, and go through an exercise, without words, that shows how your internal shifts in the connection process have real-time, immediate effects on the amount of trust and closeness the other person feels towards you.

When we do this exercise in live seminars, you see people compelled to step closer to one another, with no words spoken. It works equally well when speaking to someone over the phone, because of the infinite nature of the heart.

This may well be the most nourishing class of the entire course.

“Awesome! This class has been the missing link to truly having sacred and heart-centered, authentic connections with clients that work without being salesy or pushy. Hallelujah!”

- Tami, Sacred Selling 2011 participant

Once you have the sequence of connection down, you need…

Class Four: Compassionate Questioning

Tuesday, May 22, 1 p.m. pacific

That nameless, beautiful spiritual feeling of connection in the heart is hard to translate into words, and this is often where the sales conversation goes astray. Without guidance here, the connection you established in Class Three is quickly lost.

You’ll learn how to ask compassionate questions, as well as how to bring focus and structure into your conversations with potential clients, without dehumanizing the process.

This class will also teach exactly how to handle that delicate moment in the conversation where you’re wondering, “Okay, well, are they going to hire me or not?” How do you shift focus from a friendly, focused chat to getting to THE question? That moment is called the Pivot, and this class teaches you how to handle it.

If your potential clients feel attracted and trust you through Connection, here is where they figure out that yes, they do want to work with you.

Mark, I just want to say to everyone reading this blog that the material from The Sacred Selling seminar was a game-changer for my business. That course gave me such clear perspective on how to handle what to me is probably the most uncomfortable part of being in business. I can truly say that the sales conversation is now pain and drama-free.

Your suggestion…takes so much pressure off the situation and usually leads to the person becoming a client.

More ease and flow…who doesn’t love that!

with love and gratitude-
Cathy Wilke

Class Five: Singing Like Sinatra- The Details

Tuesday, May 29, 1 p.m. pacific

Did you know that a significant number of sales are lost after the client has already told themselves (but not you), “Yes, I’m ready to buy.” But then they change their mind. What unsold them?

Frank Sinatra knew how important the details are. After someone says, “Yes,” there are a number of details that need to be handled for you to get paid. Keep the heart connection open while you are handling the details with confidence, and there’s no problem.

But lose the heart connection, or stumble with the details, and your new client, who had already decided “Yes” is off like a scared rabbit into the underbrush, never to be seen again.

In this class the ordinarily “boring” details come alive, and you make sure you don’t drop anyone who is putting their trust in you. Ol’ Blue Eyes couldn’t have done any better. With details handled, you’re ready for the last part of the sales conversation…

Class Six: The Agreement

Tuesday, June 5, 1 p.m. pacific

By this class you may have noticed a pattern… first you prepare, then you jump in. We’re big believers, as was Frank Sinatra, that being prepared means that you have more attention to actually be present.

And presence is what you need for The Agreement. Commonly called “the close” in traditional sales, this is actually the sacred moment wherein the truth of your relationship is revealed. Are they going to be your client or not? Are you going to get paid or not? Do they get the help they really need or not?

How you handle this moment, with sacredness and love and strength, will determine everything.

“Sacred Selling has been an absolute breakthrough for me. Previously I did not feel comfortable having a sales conversation with potential clients. Now I feel there is a weight that has been lifted and regardless if the client is ready or there’s a fit, there is still genuine connection and even some transformation going on for me and prospective clients. I’ve noticed that since I’ve taken up the Sacred Selling methods, all of my recent talks with prospective clients end with their heartfelt thanks and their experience of being a little lighter and having more clarity, which I love!”

- Stacy, Sacred Selling 2011 participant

This class will teach you how to be with the Agreement, and where to go next.

Class Seven: the Bridge/ Wrap-up

Tuesday, June 12, 1 p.m. pacific

There is one very common special situation that comes up from the Sacred Moment of the Agreement: that’s when they tell you “I need to think about it.” Argh! So frustrating!

On one hand it’s legitimate- of course they want some time to think about it. On the other hand, it can be a frustrating descent into vagueness, where you are stuck sending emails and leaving uncomfortable voicemails for them, “Uh, just thought I’d, y’know, check-in…” which they never respond to.

There is an effective, honest, heart-centered way to deal with these situations, one that relieves you of the vagueness and gets you and the client moving into the Agreement.

And then we wrap up and send you off.

By this time, if you’re like hundreds of previous students you will have done more than make big breakthroughs around selling, you will also have realized the profound power of the heart, and how to access it in business.

And, because of the practical nature of the class, you’ll be applying this immediately. When we have taught this in a two-day, live seminar format, participants have started enrolling new clients the next day with great effectiveness and ease.

I started my professional career in sales back in the ’70′s. I did that for about nine years. And then as a general manager I did a lot of work trying to land large contracts with new customers- the largest one was nine million, but typically they would be in the area north of a $100,000.

Then, since I left the corporate world I’m out selling consulting services for myself and others. I’ve done a lot of selling in my life.

The common thing for me before was being *careful* in how I was speaking or phrasing, compromising myself and feeling stunted trying not to put the client off. Less than all of me coming through. I could be nervous and it would come across- you know when you demonstrated the ‘needy’ person- Bingo! that was me, that was coming through.

What I liked most is the ease of selling from my own strength- it eliminated my attachment to outcome- that I was selling from who I am- and that was enough, in fact, that was more than enough. It took all the tension for me out of the selling conversation.

- Dan Duggan, partner LionHeart Consulting, and participant

There are bonuses we offer to make the course even more effective.

Bonus 1: Partnering! PDF

How to get the most out of working with partners, without driving each other crazy. Two things are true- business and selling can bring up lots of emotional stuff, and working with a buddy can be amazing… or it can go horribly wrong if certain dynamics in the give-and-take crop up.

I wrote a guidebook to support you when partnering with others to work through the material. Having a buddy or friend can make working with these materials so much easier, and this guide will help ensure success with the process.

Bonus 2: Unveiling Your Jewel Audio Course

Your Jewel is the essence of how marketing works. Your clients don’t just want your product or service, they want what your heart has to give them. Fill your own heart with the truth of your essence, and others become profoundly drawn to your essence.

This is a Heart of Business signature exercise, and has helped literally thousands of people to a deeper connection with who they truly are, what they do in the world, in a very tangible sense.

Premium Bonus: Individual Sessions with Heart of Business Practitioners

Sometimes you need or want one-on-one individual support, guidance and coaching. Something particularly stuck? Want focused attention just on you? Want to go beyond the course into other territory around your business or money issues? An individual session may be just the remedy.

Our two practitioenrs, Yollana Shore and Jason Stein, can care for your heart, help with your business and financial healing process, all while providing practical guidance and coaching. There are a limited number of these premium individual sessions. And yes, people have been known to go on and work with Jason or Yollana in our Organic Business Development Program afterwards.

Because We Really Want You To Start Experiencing The Results You Want, We Have Seven Ways To Make This Material Very Effective For You.

We know that as inspiring as these seven call-in sessions will be, there is so much more you can do to make these teachings produce real and substantial changes in your business (and emotional!) life.  So we’ve arranged five additional resources that will help you get the most out of Sacred Selling.

1st: “MP3 Player Friendly” Downloads That Make Accessing Specific Topics Easy

It can be difficult to revisit material in an audio course when you have to search through a 90-minute file, trying to stumble upon the part that was most important for you. We understand that, and so we’re making it very easy on you to find what you’re looking for fast.

Each of the class sessions will be split into multiple tracks, by topic, so you can listen to exactly what you want without wasting any time.

With each session’s recordings split into easy-to-digest tracks, you will be able to listen to the meditations, discussions and exercises as often as you need. Because we’ve invested in professional-quality recording equipment, you’ll be able to easily understand everything that’s being said without straining through “fuzz and buzz.”

So even though the course runs for only two months, you’ll be able to revisit, absorb and enjoy the teachings as often as you want to, for the rest of your life.

It’s worth mentioning the recordings are not your standard teleconference audio. I use over $1000 of audio gear to ensure that participant voices are clear, and that my voice as the instructor is near studio quality. No telephone buzz here.

2nd: Guided Remembrance Meditations To Center Yourself Before Sales Calls

At the start of every class I lead an in-depth Remembrance meditation to open the heart, clear anxiety and struggle, and to access your deepest gifts and strengths. Each Remembrance relates to the topic of the class, and so answers a different aspect of the heart’s relationship to sales.

Because the class recordings are divided up by tracks, it means you’ll end up with seven short Remembrance recordings you can use again and again, in your work with your business and prior to enrollment conversations to make sure you are your strongest, clearest, most open-hearted self when connecting with your potential clients.

3rd: PDF Workbook With Class Content And Exercises

While many people love to learn by listening, we understand that others prefer to savor their learning experiences in print format.  If that describes your learning style, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a PDF workbook you can read, print and write in at your convenience.

The downloadable workbook will contain each teaching and exercise, fully explained and ready to be acted upon (or patiently sat with, if need be).

If you’re a “reader,” you’ll love having these workbooks at the ready. And if you’re an audio learner, these PDFs will help you revisit and enjoy the content at those times you can’t get to your computer or music player.

4th: An optional “Buddy System” That Gives You Safe, Compassionate Support When You Need It Most

One of the most powerful components of the course is the buddy system, where you will connect with other participants between each of our group meetings for compassionate support in going through the exercises and assignments.

Instead of just learning information, you will gain an entire supportive community to cheer you on through your most challenging money issues. We won’t let you fall down!

Many participants say this is the most profound part of the class.

We’ll be giving you a detailed guide for how to work with your partners based on years of facilitating partner exercises.

Question: Just how does the partnering thing work? Answer: Everyone who signs up before the course starts can opt-in to the partnering. We then put you in broad groups based on geography, to minimize time-zone differences. Within each geographic group, we assign you a partner for each class, so you don’t have to reach out to strangers. This is a system that has worked really well over the years.

5th: Weekly Check-Ins To Ensure All Your Questions Get Captured

We don’t want any of your questions or concerns to fall through the cracks during this course, so you’ll have access to online forms you can use to “check-in” before every class, recording your experiences, your challenges, and any questions you might have.

It may sound like “homework,” but the process of checking in is a powerful, results-generating exercise. It ensures that you take the time to reflect on what you’ve learned during the week, allowing it to sink in more deeply.

As the course progresses, you’ll have all those questions answered.  Here’s how.

6th: A Big “Q&A” PDF To Answer Everyone’s Questions

With so many participants connecting, awakening and asking important questions throughout this course, it will be impossible to answer everyone’s questions during the live classes themselves. However, I will be answering every single question asked.

Each week in your check-ins you’ll be asking any questions that have come up for you. I’ll collect the questions and answer them in writing, distributing all of it (with all identifying personal details removed) in a PDF each week.

Questions that are similar, I’ll bring together and answer collectively. Unique questions that come up, I’ll answer in-depth. And you’ll get all of them.

6th, Part Two: Last Year’s Questions

With each class you’ll also receive the Q&A PDF from the previous year’s course. Dozens of personal, in-depth answers from me to specific, selling-related questions.

7th: Examples of How to Do It Effectively

Late in the course, after you’ve had a chance to work with the material in-depth, I’ll be asking for a few volunteers to participate in a separate “hot seat coaching” session. In this session I’ll listen in as you go through an enrollment conversation. When something in the conversation goes “off” or is ineffective, I’ll stop you and give you compassionate coaching.

Then, I’ll take your part and redo that portion of the conversation, so you can hear how it can go.

When do you get to listen in on effective, heart-centered sales conversations? Here you’ll be able to.

Although I’ll only be able to work with a few people, the session will be recorded and available for the entire class to listen to.

With Seven Powerful Teaching Sessions and Five “Make It Stick” Resources, You Can Finally End Your Sales Stress and Experience Your Own Client-Enrollment Breakthrough

Here’s the bottom line: I want you to make a difference in the world, and impact the clients you are supposed to impact!

If I can escape from the horror of ineffective cold calls to an incredibly effective enrollment rate, you can too. With the support and well-blazed trail this class offers, you can do it much more quickly than I did. You already have the seeds of success within you. Your strength and abundance is in your heart. You have clarity and ease waiting for you, once your fears and assumptions and misunderstandings are peeled away.
