How does Jade use six words or less in sales?

She keeps her messages ultra-short, six words or less, and that gets prospects to spill their pain points. Short messages lead to deeper conversations and more closed deals. It's one of the ways she keeps the sales process simple, which so many salespeople overcomplicate.

Why did Jade fire half her clients?

Her business has thrived on referrals alone, and she puts referrals ahead of paid ads. That steady flow of referrals let her fire the clients who weren't a fit, and she made that bold move to scale her business. Referrals gave her the freedom to choose who she works with.

What advice does Jade give new salespeople?

Be the salesperson you'd want to work with. Treat your prospects like they matter, because nobody likes being dismissed. Focus on solving problems. Make sales a daily habit, since selling once a week means you'll struggle. And sales only gets slimy if you make it that way.

How does Jade think sales and marketing should work together?

Marketing should make sales look good. Jade says most companies fail at connecting the two. If you want help lining yours up, she offers a free cheat sheet on aligning sales and marketing, and you can get it by sending her a message on LinkedIn.
