Show your moves on the dance floor! 

One of the worst things you can do as an ecommerce leader is to tease your audience without delivering the goods. Don’t let yourself come off as a sleazy salesperson - be willing to deliver the goods upfront! It’s like Scott always says - focus on delivering value WAY before you focus on making a sale. At the end of the day - it all comes down to selling to others as you’d like to be sold to - the golden rule! Jadah sums this up nicely - show your moves on the dance floor. Show people that you are here to help and resource your following - then you’ll start to build up the trust that’s needed when you go in for an ask.

Don’t post and then ghost. 

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and then suddenly they walk away without any warning? Chances are - your answer is, no! Most people were raised to treat others with respect and consideration - we should do the same on social media. If you want your following to trust and engage with you - you’ve got to be willing to put in the time. Jadah encourages sellers like you to avoid posting and then ghosting. Don’t just throw a conversational grenade into social media and then walk away - stick around and engage with your following!

As frustrating as it can be - you’ve got to be prepared to make a pivot if you find yourself headed in a direction you don’t feel passionate about.
