540 - The Introvert's Guide To Selling Yourself with Krista Demcher
Selling doesn’t have to feel awkward, pushy, or overwhelming—especially if you’re an introvert. In this episode, I chat with Krista Demcher, sales strategist and founder of The ACORN Method, who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs learn how to sell in a way that feels like them. Krista shares how to shift your mindset around sales, embrace conversations as connection, and use storytelling to sell with confidence—no scripts, no sleaze, no huge team required. Whether you're gearing up for a launch or just want to feel more natural talking about your offers, this one’s packed with practical wisdom and real-world encouragement.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The mindset shift that helps you embrace sales as a service, not a pitch
