Speaker 2 Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.

Speaker 2 I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now.

Speaker 2 What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the level up podcast. I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be tackling a challenge that so many entrepreneurs face.
How to sell without sounding salesy?

Speaker 2 Let's keep it real here, guys. Nobody likes feeling pressured into a sale, and nobody likes the person who's pushing too hard.
But here's the good news. You don't have to sell the way to win.

Speaker 2 In fact, the best salespeople don't really sell at all. They connect.
So let me break it down for you. First, lead with value, not the pitch.

Speaker 2 Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, OfficialPawAlex.com for more motivational episodes. People don't want to hear about what you're selling, which is the vehicle.

Speaker 2 They want to know how the vehicle helps them. When I started my businesses, I just didn't throw out products or services.
I actually listened to my customers.

Speaker 2 I understood their pain points and showed them how I could solve their problems. When you make it about them and not you, the sale takes care of itself.
Second, you have to be real, guys.

Speaker 2 The quickest way to sound salesy is to follow some cookie cutter script or fake enthusiasm here. Be yourself and talk to your prospects like you would a friend, a family member.

Speaker 2 Share your story, relate to those challenges, and let them see you as someone who genuinely wants to help them. Being authentic builds trust and trust closes deals, guys.

Speaker 2 And lastly, here's the best one, guys, okay? Ask the right questions. Instead of pitching nonstop, I want you to get curious, okay?

Speaker 2 Ask them about their goals, their challenges, what they really need in life or that business opportunity. The more you listen, the easier it is to position your product or service as a solution.

Speaker 2 Selling isn't talking to them into something, guys.

Speaker 2 It's showing them why saying yes makes sense no brainer right so what's the bottom line here selling doesn't have to be pushy guys or awkward you got to lead with value you got to stay real and you got to focus on listening that's how you sell without selling and still win big guys all right so thanks for tuning into love all podcast i'm paul alex reminding you that sales isn't about pressure it's actually about connection guys you gotta stay real you gotta stay focused and as always Let's keep leveling up.
