What if selling wasn’t about selling at all?

In this powerful episode of Business Growth University, Alan flips the script on everything you think you know about sales. Instead of focusing on products, he challenges business owners, coaches, and service providers to focus on transformation. Whether you're offering fitness coaching, web design, or even starting a podcast, Alan shares a simple truth: people don’t buy things, they buy results. He breaks down a clear and relatable framework for connecting your services to your audience’s goals, replacing the word "sales" with words like help, lead, and invite. From coaching tips to brand trust and personal stories, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to grow their business without sounding “salesy.”
