Give value before you make an ask! 

Have you ever been in a scenario or a relationship where someone continuously asked you for something without offering anything in return? Let’s face it, no one likes to be taken advantage of - but it can feel that way when someone asks something of you without providing value in return. Don’t let that happen to you and your business! Scott encourages sellers like you to get into the habit of delivering value way before you ever make an ask of your customers. To hear more from Scott about this critical topic, make sure to tune in to this episode of The Amazing Seller! 

Let your list get to know you

Are you nervous about stepping in front of the camera or even putting your name on an email you send out to your list? If that sounds like you, you aren’t alone! While you might be tempted to keep your identity anonymous - the truth is - people don’t connect with a brand, they connect with a person! If you want your ecommerce business to build a following, you’ve got to either let your personality shine through or connect with someone like a spokesperson who can make that connection for you. Get Scott’s full take on building your brand with your personality front and center by listening to this episode of The Amazing Seller!
