Review the Transcript:

Quianna: If you are ready to skyrocket your sales and increase your revenue, you need to meet my new soul sister, Jillian Murphy. I am so pumped about today’s episode because at the end of the day, we can craft beautiful brands. We can have jaw dropping photos and a legit marketing plan, but if we’re not booking our leads or have a cashflow, we don’t have a business.

We have an extremely expensive and time consuming hobby. Today, Jillian is going to bring the energy backed by some powerful strategies to help us ignite our sales and increase our income. I hold nothing back when it comes to asking these questions that we’re all thinking about sales being too annoying or salesy and what to say when there’s objections.

Jillian shares a ton about the phases of sales, building authority online to confidently sell, and creating resources and offers that never actually end and become a business expense that your clients and students rave about you, and it becomes reoccurring income for your business. Literally, so genius.

Jillian is my kind of girl that moves quickly and intentionally, shows up online confidently, and makes things happen without all the tech and the fluff. Jillian just recently moved here to the desert and it’s been a blessing getting to know her and welcoming her into our circle of ambitious and kind hearted entrepreneurs.

Let’s get her on the show to start this legit coaching call. I’m not even kidding. I’m just asking all the questions that I want and helping us sell more without feeling salesy or annoying. Please welcome the sales queen, Jillian Murphy. Welcome to Kiana Marie weekly, a podcast for creatives who love to celebrate wins big or small by dancing in the kitchen, photographers who are excited to serve their clients and friends who are ready to chase.

It’s really, really big dreams. You can find all of the resources mentioned in this episode at KeanuMarie. com slash podcast. Join me as I share weekly motivation, chat about growing pains, finding genuine connections and celebrating your wins through the lens of a photographer at heart. Come join me for a dance party.

Ready? Let’s go.

Hey, hey, hey, welcome to the party Jillian. It’s such an honor to have you here. You are a powerhouse, full of confidence and just so much oomph when it comes to sales and running a very successful business. So welcome. How are you? How are you today? Oh my gosh. Thank you.

Jillian: I always feel like it’s a party.

Like anytime I’m around you, right? Like anytime I see you like in my Instagram or like on my stories or in my DMs, I’m like, it’s about to be a party. So like buckle up. This is going to be a good show today.

Quianna: I can’t wait. So let’s get things started. Let’s kind of lay a really good foundation for this conversation.

Mindset Shifts Required To Feel Confident In Sales

I would love to find out from you what mindset shifts are required to feel confident in sales. Let’s start there.

Jillian: Yeah, such a great question. So I always say the number one mindset shift that actually has to take place in order to be successful in sales is you’ve got to be your first sale. Like you have got to be sold on whatever it is that you’re selling, whether you are a network marketer, whether you’re a coach, whether you’re a consultant, even down to like how it feels in your body, like when you say your investment or what it is to work with you.

Right. And if there’s ever any doubt or any like, Oh, like I’m not really sure then like your audience is absolutely going to feel this as well. I worked with a guy recently, a male client, and he actually sells a product. And when he first came to me, this product was phenomenal. And he was like, I don’t know anybody, why anybody would buy this?

He’s like, especially at this price point. And I was like, well, this is why we’re struggling in sales, right? Like you have got to be the sole sold. Like this is the best product on the market. It’s the bomb. com and like you just haven’t seen the value in it, but like, I know how

Quianna: good my shit is. I love that so much.

So would you say in order to ignite really strong sales, it starts with a juicy offer, right? Because I feel like sometimes like you mentioned, you have to sell yourself. Like, I feel like sometimes we as the. The business or the offer, we’ve experienced that growth and we’re so close to it that sometimes we don’t realize, Oh wait, no, this actually is a big deal.

Crafting An Offer That Sells Itself

Like this actually can change lives. So in your opinion, how can we really craft that offer or that sale or that program that just sells itself?

Jillian: Yeah. I think the biggest thing that people get wrong all the time, and this is like the number one question that I ask people when they come to me, so I’m literally like pulling you behind the curtains is like, does anybody want this?

Have you literally asked anybody about this? Is there any proof of concept? So anytime I’m on a podcast or in my own podcast, I always love to give like real life examples. So yesterday I had a brand new client, right? And she’s in the health and wellness space. And she’s like, Hey, I’m putting out this offer.

I’ve been putting it out for weeks. It’s absolutely crickets out there. And I said, okay, in your niche, and I’m not wanting to niche down, but I said, in your niche, is anybody doing what you’re doing? And she’s like, nobody. I’m like, okay, I realize you want to be a trailblazer and I’m all for that. But success also leaves clues.

If nobody in the market is doing this as a group coaching program, and everybody is doing this as one on one, like high level consulting, follow what people want. Follow what people are already used to, right? So you have to do market research. You have to ask people. And you also like have to look at people that are ahead of you and not like.

A year ahead of you or like two years, but like the, the trailblazers, like what has worked in that specific industry? Industry specific.

Quianna: I love that so much. Yes. And I feel like that is such a great start to get started like an actual checkpoint because you’re right. If you know, I also come from and I love this conversation because I also come from a train of thought that’s thinking, well, I know people need this.

Like, I feel like my ego kind of gets into it sometimes where I think, wait a second. No, like maybe this offer hasn’t really been like mainstream offers and, you know, just kind of cookie cutter copy paste what other people are doing. This is something new, but there really is so much power in. Like you said, following that success and then making it your own.

I love that so much.

Jillian: Yeah. And if you are going to like be the trailblazer, right? Like I even told this woman yesterday, I was like, Hey, if you want to like be the one that brings group coaching program to this specific niche, I’m all for that. We wanted to understand like it’s going to take your time, take time for the audience to catch up.

So where we could launch this juicy offer tomorrow and probably make sales. And if you are like in your body, like I know that this group program is what they need. Cool. I’m going to be here to support you and give you all the tools and all the framework and all the sales strategy. But you also have to understand that now you not only have to sell them on the offer, you have to sell them on the concept that they’re not used to.

Quianna: Oh my gosh, I love this so much. So let’s say we are confident in our program or our offer and our services. I have a lot of photographers that are listening and we’re providing just incredible services and just experiences and photo shoots, all the things. Let’s say we have that dialed in. How can we build trust and authority with strangers online?

Jillian: Oh my God, the easiest way to build trust and authority with strangers online is consistency. And people don’t really understand the power of consistency. Like they’re like, Oh, well, like my mentor told me to post like four times a week or five times a week or whatever. There is so much that’s happening when you are posting consistently to the consumer that’s watching your content that knows that every single day or every third day or whatever it is that you’re going to be there, right?

So again, real life example. I’ve been in the online space for three and a half years. I bet you if you went through my hard feed, there’s probably less than five times I haven’t posted. Now, it’s not always in real time. A lot of it is repurposed content. But what my audience knows, if you start following me today, every day, I’m going to show up in your life every day.

I’m going to be here. And this is like the relationship that like always calls you back or the friend that’s always there for you. Like there is an underlying trust that’s being built. Just by showing up for you, right? Like there’s nothing worse than like people who start a podcast and then put it on pause for like six months.

And then they’re like, Oh, I’m back. Or like they create content and then they’re all over. Or the worst one is flip flopping all the time between like what it is that you do. Because that also builds like an inconsistency of like, is this actually the thing that she loves? Right. Like it is actually like the real, the real product that she’s obsessed with.

Quianna: I love that so much. And this is why I’m obsessed with B roll because it makes showing up with consistency so much easier. Right. I feel like once again, we are so close to our business that oftentimes we think, oh, this is just so easy or, oh gosh, anybody can do this, but no, people want that consistency.

They want to go back to you and it’s also keeping you top of mind, right? It’s also keeping you. In the feed and something easy to share as well. Speaking of b roll, let’s just give you a shout out for

Jillian: all the b roll that you created for me. Like, it is straight fire. You guys, I’m really bad about tagging people, but if you go to my feed, like, she is slaying my b roll these days.

Quianna: I love it so much. Thank you. We had so much fun and, oh my gosh, it’s just so, so amazing. Jillian, you are the expert at sales. I just met you recently and I already am like, I’m that girl that’s in your feed all the time. I am consuming your content. I feel inspired. I feel fiery. I feel super motivated, but not just motivated, but also like I’m taking action, right?

I’m listening to what you’re sharing. I would just love to kind of go through this sales process. How do you become a shark at sales when oftentimes we feel annoying or we feel like we’re just bragging or being too much?

Jillian: Yeah. So I think first of all, like you have to ask yourself, like, what animal do you want to be?

Because I know this is like a silly question, but like not everybody wants to be a shark. Some people want to be more like laid back. Some people want to be more quiet. And this is the thing. When you work with someone like me, like. I’m going to look at your personality, and I’m going to be like, you have shark tendencies, so your content needs to speak like that, like, I’m more of like a shark, like a dominant person, but like, not everybody can sell like me, right?

That’s why I don’t teach scripts, and that’s why, like, every single person that I work with, like, has their own unique framework. But when it comes to sales, the first thing that you really need to focus on in your sales process, right? And this is like where people usually like tone deaf me out because they’re like, I don’t need a sales process But you do the number one thing you need to focus on in a sales process is generating leads into your business Like I don’t care what you are if you’re a photographer if you’re a network marketer coach consultant You own a gym you have investment properties.

It doesn’t matter You need to be bringing people into the top of the funnel at all times. Now, in our business, up until two weeks ago, we ran everything organically. I love to be scrappy. I love to literally allow my content to do the marketing for me. And I also think until you get to six, multiple six, and even seven figures, you can absolutely do this organically.

We did organic content until we were at seven figures, and then we turned the fire on. If you’re listening to this right now and you’re seeing all these ads on social media, you don’t need it. Organic content is where it’s at also converts way better FYI. So number one is bringing leads into your business.

Number two is making sure the leads that you have coming into your business are actually qualified to buy the thing that you have. I always use Target as an example. The reason why Target’s a billion dollar industry is because they know exactly who’s coming in through their doors, and they put the product right in front of them.

If Target changed their demographic tomorrow and had 50 year old men coming in it, their sales would plummet. Not because the products were any different, not because target change. It’s because you don’t have the right buyers looking at the right product. And for many of you right now, listening to this pod podcast, you are putting out offers and your store is open in air quotes to the wrong buyer.

It is misaligned. And if it’s misaligned, the next three, four steps. Are going to always fall flat. So now once you have the right buyer coming in, you want to absolutely make sure that you’re a good fit, that you can actually solve their problems. Right? Like, can you solve their problems? Is this, is this, do they want B roll?

Do they want sales coaching or do they want business coaching? Right? And does it match? And this is where so many people are trying to sell things to people that they don’t actually need. And this is where you get that like salesy aggressive, like not good feeling because there’s people out there every single day, trying to sell you shit that you don’t need.

Be okay at this stage to be like, I’m not for you. I can’t help you. You and I are not aligned, right? Whatever that is. I just had a girl recently asked me to work with me one on one. We did a very quick 20 minute call and I’m like, I’m going to be very honest. I’m not the mentor for you. You need someone that’s way softer.

You need someone that’s going to do a lot more like mindset work with you. Could I have sold her? Of course I cut off, but like the offer doesn’t match the need of the human. So you guys be a human first, please. The next thing is once you know that you can help them, you have to get them to self select into what it is that they’re getting in right?

This is where a lot of people again are pushy and they’re aggressive. Like, let me sell you my offers. Let me tell you why I’m the best photographer, right? You just have to ask the right questions to get them to say, yes, I need gut health. Yes, I need this. Yes, I need this. We had our good friend Felicia on the podcast yesterday and she was talking about her new gym, right?

The new franchise that she has. She never once pitched the gym to me. All she did was ask me the right questions and I raised my hand and I was like this is what I need That is selling in a way that you get your buyers to opt in to their needs Not what it is that you need then the last one is making sure you can overcome objections And you’re gonna get four objections at all times, right?

Like I don’t have the money. I don’t have the time I gotta talk to my partner and I don’t think this is a good fit for me If you start to practice what to say when people give you those, you’re going to be able to be a shark that you want to be, right? Anytime someone gives me those objections, I know exactly what to say for my own business.

And then the last one is super simple. Make sure you’re following up and retaining clients. Oh my gosh. That

Quianna: was a whole mouthful.

Jillian: No, I love it. I love it. You know I’ve done

Quianna: that a few times, right? Yes, I told you, you’re the expert. This is so good. Well, and I love, I love a good checklist. I love a good timeline.

And I love just having almost like guidance with this, right? Because I think sometimes we get so caught up in, Oh man, like what do I post today? Right? Who am I speaking to? Who You know, I just think that we can get lost in this where we, and sometimes we get frustrated thinking, I know I have something that is going to help other people.

I know I have something viable here. Or like you will catch me saying all the time, I’m sitting on a million dollars here. Like I know I am. I just have to have to take action. There’s

Jillian: also something that I love to share because I know you said you love a good checklist and you love something easier. You guys, I’m going to make it even easier for you.

This is what I tell my clients. In order to make money online, there’s three steps. That is all you need. Okay. So I know you’re getting inundated with stuff every single day online. Of course you are. People are really good marketers. If you want to have a very successful business, you need three steps.

Number one is source. So source is the people coming in to your business, making sure they are viable leads. Number two, you’re going to invite them to something that solves their problem. The invite could be like, Hey, I have this networking call every Wednesday. Hey, I have a podcast. Hey, I have whatever, right?

You’re just going to take the source. And invite them to something that’s going to get them one step closer to the solution. And then number three is a conversion event. So a conversion event could be a sales call. It could be a quick DM conversation. It could be like, hey, you and I are riffing really well right now.

Like, what does it look like for you and I to work together? If you just take these three steps. Rinse and repeat over and over and over. That is literally what I want my clients to do. People spend a lot of money on me and I literally give them these three steps. And then all we do is we make sure that all three of these buckets are filled at all times and we just pour gas on it over and over and over.

Quianna: Oh my gosh. I love this so much. And like I said, I love a good framework. I love a good checklist. With that in mind, let’s say that we have this product, we are selling it, we’ve gone through your step by step program to really hit these checkpoints and take action on them. I would love to chat, chat a little bit more about recurring income because I do, I do feel like that right there is something that a lot of us are praying for and craving and trying to craft in our businesses to just maintain something that we can count on every single month.

Because I even, I even know for myself. Every like November or sorry, we’re in November now, but every third or fourth or fifth of the month. I feel like sometimes okay bills are paid I’m in a little slight cushion and let’s rev the engine back up again because I need to pay my bills for next month Right.

So how do we begin with reoccurring income and can you shed some light on that for us?

Jillian: so number one is I think it’s important for everyone that’s listening to this podcast to understand the difference between What you want to make and what you need to make, right? Because that already is going to like chill your nervous system out.

Right. I can say all day long, like I need to make a hundred thousand dollars a month, but I don’t need to make a hundred thousand dollars a month. When I first came to the online space, I was in some really big rooms and some really big entrepreneurs. And I remember sitting down with my mentor and I was like, I need to hit seven figures like tomorrow.

And she was like. Do you, because you’ve been in corporate for 24 years and you’ve never made a million dollars. In fact, you’ve never made half a million dollars. So why all of a sudden do you like have to make this money? And I was like, Oh yeah, actually I printed to make like 10, 000 a month. When you start to actually be very clear of what you need, your entire nervous system chills out.

And then there’s a difference of like, okay, great. I need to make 10, 000 or a desire to make 10, 000 or 20, 000, whatever it is. And then everything above that is what we want to work towards. So when I first started working with my clients, we first work on what is needed in the business, whether it’s for you, your partner, your family, like just to make you feel good.

And that’s the first goal that we hit to make sure that’s always coming in. And there’s lots of ways to build a reoccurring revenue. You know, obviously payment plans, you know, memberships are great. Long term coaching programs, reoccurring clients. Like there’s lots of different ways. We have been at consistent cash months, almost the entire time I’ve been in business and the biggest reason that I have reoccurring months, the way that I do is I put people on really long payment plans and then I income stacked on top.

So for an example, I have people right now that are paying me. That have been paying me for six, seven, eight, nine months that are no longer working with me. So, what happens is. I then don’t have this like anxiety to like, oh my gosh, I have to go get a new client, right? Like, because I still have this buffer of where people are paying me.

I don’t want anybody to pay me in full. I mean, if you want to, great, that’s amazing. But we drive everybody to a very long payment plan. Because that’s what we want. Because then we have reoccurring revenue coming in and it builds a cushion for us. Also, there’s a very big difference. I want you guys all to understand this.

There’s a very big difference between revenue and profit. Okay, so you’re seeing a lot of people online. Oh, I hit seven figures. I hit multiple seven figures. I hit 20k months. What are you bringing home? Mm-Hmm? . Okay. I’m in a mastermind with some huge entrepreneurs. I run one of the smallest businesses in there, and I actually take home almost the highest profit because I have one team member.

Shout out to Paul. He’s amazing. You know, we don’t run ads up until Monday, we did not run any ads. Like I don’t have a big team. So while big months are great. Big months come with a lot of responsibility. They come with a lot of team. They come with a lot of overhead. And you have to ask yourself, like, do you want that?

Or like, what’s the business that you really want to build? And I think that’s a totally different conversation. But I think a lot of people don’t even understand the numbers of what they want to make. And they’re just seeing things, but they don’t know what’s going on. I love to give, again, a good backstory, right?

We have, I have a woman inside of my mastermind, she has consecutive million dollar months. It’s like over and over and over a million dollar months, but she has 21 people on her team and over half of them are making six figures do the math.

Quianna: Oh my God.

Jillian: That doesn’t leave much room for green. Right. So instantly you’re like, oh my God, she’s having million dollar months.

This is like a rockstar, but like, she’s taking like dollars to the bank. So again, remember that not everything that you see online is what it actually is, and you take profit to the bank. You don’t take revenue to the bank.

Quianna: Oh my gosh. I love this so much. And you’re right. You have to take those numbers that you see online, those flashy numbers with discernment because there’s money coming out like as much as, and that’s the thing too.

It’s like, I want to build a sustainable business that I can do on my own terms that I am not just shelling out these huge salaries because of course, if anyone’s on my team, I’m going to pay them well, but we don’t need a huge team. Okay, so I have a question for you, and this is totally a, like, selfish question where I’m like, wait, I have a question for you.

That’s what I use my

Jillian: podcast for. I’m like, okay, my podcast so I can literally, like, basically be coaching for 30 minutes? This is amazing. Yeah,

Quianna: let’s do this. So I have just recently launched the Bloom with B Roll course. It’s a mini course. It’s like a 300 program. I’m so proud of it. In your like best teaching advice, I feel like what’s next, I want to turn it into a coaching program.

I want something that I could either do a membership for or something that I can offer and say, Hey, invest this. And I’m just throwing numbers out there, right? Like we’re just workshopping. Let’s invest this 3, 000 and you’re going to get three months of coaching with this like instant download course that is self paced.

It’s ready to go. I need it to. Create that. So I have something to kind of stand on. So what would be your best advice for scaling that? For turning it into a coaching program, turning it into a membership? Like, what would you suggest I do next?

Jillian: Yeah, so I always ask people, like, how many people can you serve?

And what it is that you do that people are still going to get results? Because that’s the number one question, right? It’s like, hey, can you have a group coaching program? And can you serve ten people? Or can you serve a hundred people, right? Because that’s going to be a big differentiator. Depending on, one, like how you coach, how people get results, how you make people feel inside the community.

So they always feel like, no matter how big this community is, like, I’m still being like, hands on and all those things. So I think those are all really important questions to ask. So, like, just to give you a little story, like, I have a program called Infinity. And when I first started it, I was like, this is going to be like 10 to 15 people.

That’s it. I want it small. And the goal now is to bring it to a hundred people. Because what I know is that I can coach top level and people still get phenomenal results. I can still make every single person in that room feel seen. I can break up the cohorts, like the call smallest people aren’t on long calls, right?

Like there’s things that you start to do, but let’s say for an example, there was 10 to 15 people in there. And they weren’t getting results or they didn’t feel seen or I was like this is a lot The last thing I would do would ever be to scale it Because your goal is always to make sure people get results in your program because then they share with other people It’s great testimonials all of those things So I think the first thing is to see like what do you want to scale it to?

Because scaling is also different for everybody, right? You might want to scale something to 10, 000 a month. I might want to scale something to a hundred thousand dollars a month. So then it’s different. It’s different frameworks, right? I’m a huge believer in starting things that don’t have an end. So again, infinity has no end.

So, so many people have coaching programs. That’s three months. That’s six months. That’s 12 months. Well then guess what happens at the end? You have to either resell them into it again, or you have to bring all the new people in. So from day one of infinity, I’m like, you guys, we are doing life and business together until you shut your business down.

Making Your Business A Business Expense

And what happens is when people get used to paying you, you’re just a business expense. Right? So going back to this reoccurring revenue, I have people that have been with me for over three years and they’re like, Jill’s just a business expense. I pay Kajabi. I pay my accountant. I pay Jill every month.

Right? That’s what you want. You want people to come into your world and not have it be like, when you’re done, you leave. So what can you build that they want to stay with you? Right? And also like, as they grow, like their photography business or their coaching business or their fertility journey or their gut health, right?

Insert whatever it is that you do. How can you keep them? Maybe you’re a photographer listening to this right now and you do newborn photos. Okay, well, then they become toddlers, then they make their first communion, then they become graduates. Like you should have an Ascension model that you’re always going back to what it is that they do.

I have a really good friend that was an elopement specialist for a really long time. She only did elopements. And then I was like, well, why aren’t you doing their babies? Why aren’t you doing like their kids and she’s like, Oh, I never thought about it. Like you want to think about your business to the point that you can keep them in your world.

Like literally infinity. Like that’s why my program is called infinity.

Quianna: I love that so much. I feel like we needed that little reminder that actually is like a small mindset shift, but huge impact. Just to say on

Jillian: that too, people appreciate that they don’t want to leave. Right. And what I do is it’s my job to tell them why I’m where they should stay.

Right. So if you’re listening to this right now and you’re a photographer or you’re a consultant or you’re a coach, right, insert whatever it is that you do. It’s your responsibility to say, like, we’re doing this together and this is why. Right. Like, I, I might say like, hey, you’re joining infinity today and you have a 10, 000 business.

I’m going to be with you to celebrate when you get to a million. I’ve now put this in their brain that like. Jill’s with me not to hit my first 10k my next 20k like she’s here for the long run And that’s why I’ve had such long Clients in my business like it’s like unheard of the retention that I have in my business Because I set it up like that.

I I teach them that they don’t leave they they just stay we’re we’re doing life and business together

Quianna: Oh my gosh, we have to craft that. Oh my goodness, Jillian, well, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for just blasting through these sales techniques, these sales mindsets. I have one last question for you.

I love to ask every single guest. What is your key tip? What is something you wish you knew sooner or you’re happy to share with entrepreneurs today?

Jillian: Yeah, I think the key tip that I would say to anybody is continue to keep your blinders on. Continue to keep your head down and in your zone of genius and remember that like you really are like your secret sauce, right?

I know this sounds a little bit like different because the beginning I was like, well, follow what other people are doing. I don’t mean follow what other people are doing. I mean, like, pay attention to success leads clues. But if you’re a new entrepreneur right now, like you should be doing like your own thing.

I’m going to use our good friend Felicia for an example. When I first started following Felicia, I was like, Oh my God, she’s amazing. Like she’s creating all this great B roll. And like, I love her and I’m obsessed. Right. And I had to ask myself, am I like inspired by her or am I being like triggered by her content that now I feel like mine is less.

And I’ll say this on this podcast. It’s fine. Like there was times that I was like, I feel like my content is garbage wanting to mute her. And then I had to step into my own power. Right. Doesn’t mean I don’t love her any less. Doesn’t mean she’s not one of my friends. It doesn’t mean that I’m not going to go have coffee with her and hug her face on Friday.

What it means is that you have to keep your own blinders on because it’s so easy to go down the rabbit hole. And one of my favorite things to say, I actually have this on my post it on my laptop right here, it’s create before consume. And if you can always do that, your best stuff is going to always come out.
