Hey hey, welcome back to Selling Your Expertise! I’m your host, Renee Hribar — TEDx speaker, author, and your business sales coach who believes selling your expertise should feel like having a great conversation over coffee — not climbing a mountain of tech or pretending to be someone you're not.

Today’s episode is a mindset reset.

Because if you’ve ever told yourself, “I need a bigger list before I can make sales,” I’m here to lovingly say… nope. Not true.

Let me tell you a story.

When I started my online business, I had five hours a week, no fancy funnel, and zero email list. What I did have? Conversations. I made a short list of people I had helped in some way — women I had given advice to, coached through a sticky situation, or even just brainstormed with casually.

And I started reaching out. Not with a pitch. With a pulse.

I asked how they were doing. I asked what they were working on. And when it felt right, I said, “Would it help if I supported you with that?”

That’s it. No magic funnel. No webinar. No tripwire.

And from that short list? My first clients. My first sales. The foundation of a business that’s now supported thousands of women around the world.

So if you’re sitting on a goldmine of past clients, current connections, and curious friends — and waiting for the “right tech” to launch — I’m here to tell you: you’re ready now.

ACTION STEP:

Make your Love List. Write down 5 people you’ve sat next to (even virtually) in a zoom call or group program, maybe you have answered questions for them, or just feel aligned with them. Don’t overthink it. Don’t try to be fancy. Just start.

CTA:

And if you want help with what to say once you’ve got that list? Hop on my email list by following my lead at ask me coach dot com. I’ll give you the exact phrases, scripts, and prompts that make starting these conversations simple and fun.

You’ve got this. I’ll see you Friday.
