Have you ever felt that having multiple offers would lead to more sales? 📈 It’s a common belief among new entrepreneurs. They think that if they can cater to more people with more products, they’ll bring in more business. But here’s the truth: More offers often lead to more confusion, NOT more sales. 🤯 When you’re trying to do it all—multiple products, multiple markets—you spread yourself too thin. The result? ❌ You dilute your message ❌ confuse potential clients ❌ and end up with less impact. Sam Saarinen knows this struggle all too well. Early on, he tried to be everything to everyone, thinking it would lead to more success. Instead, it made selling even harder. But everything changed when Sam decided to narrow his focus. He cut back to one core product and one ideal client. And that’s when his business started to take off. 🚀 In this blog, I dive into how this shift transformed Sam's business. We share his journey, including the mistakes he made, the lessons he learned, and the pivotal changes he implemented. This post offers "REAL TALK" about what it truly takes to build a successful business... 🙌 insights that I believe more people should be sharing. Whether you're just starting out or scaling your business, there are powerful insights waiting for you. Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/dkGmteQY

Hiring a sales team won’t fix what’s broken in your sales process —it’ll just make the cracks even bigger. 💥 When I started hiring for my sales team, I thought they’d solve the problems I hadn’t figured out yet. I believed they’d bring clarity to our sales process. Instead, I learned the hard way that: A sales team is there to amplify what’s already working—not to fix what’s broken or build a sales process from scratch. If you bring in a sales team without knowing what works, you’re not just gambling with your process 🎲 —you’re gambling with their salaries. 💸 On this week’s podcast, I’m diving into why hiring too soon is one of the most expensive mistakes founders make—and how to avoid it. 🎙️ Tune in to hear: ✔️ The hidden risks of scaling your sales team too quickly—and the strategy to scale with purpose and precision. ✔️ How to ensure your first sales hire is the right one for your business—without wasting time and money. ✔️ Why premature hires can slow down your sales cycle—and how to know when you're truly ready to scale. ✔️ How understanding the difference between a founder’s sales role and a sales team’s role can transform your revenue potential.

🤝 Struggling to Get Leads on LinkedIn? You’re Doing It Wrong. Too many founders treat LinkedIn like a sales pitch platform when it should be a listening platform.

Engage in real conversations. Because when you build trust, sales naturally follow.
