Your outfit speaks before you do... In this episode, I sit down with my personal stylist Sarah Kraus — live at Salesgirls HQ with a live audience in the room — to talk about something most sales coaches underestimate or completely ignore: what you look like when you walk in. Sarah breaks down the Visual Stack — the exact order your brain processes what it sees — and why by the time someone actually hears your words, they've already decided how much they trust you. We also get into: — The difference between your Trapped Self, your Authentic Self, and your Heroic Self (and which one most women are accidentally dressing as) — Why fit and silhouette say something specific about whether you respect your own body and the room — The "conversation zone" — where to keep styling details so people stay locked on your message — How to simplify your wardrobe so getting dressed stops costing you energy — Don't miss Sarah rapid fire her favorite places to shop for me at the end This isn't about vanity. It's about congruence. Showing up looking like who you actually are — and who you're becoming. 🔗 Resources and Links 📌 Download the BRAND MIRROR | A Strategic Worksheet for Evaluating Your Visual Identity: https://go.thesalesgirls.com/brand-mirror?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=free-rsource&utm_content=brand-mirror 💃🏼 Follow Sarah on Instagram: https://instagram.com/houseofcolour_canton/  📲 See What I'm Wearing Next: https://instagram.com/thesalesgirlsofficial/ Join the Sell Your Offer Challenge❤️‍🔥  Buy our Book, Persuade for Good📖Watch us on YouTube!🚀

Last week we said your life settles to the level of your standards. This week we talk about the thing that pulls you right back down. It's not your schedule. It's not your circumstances. It's the story running quietly in the background of your brain — and most women don't even realize it's a story. They think it's just the truth. 🔥 Standard #2 — The Story I Tell Myself Standard. In Standard #1 we talked about becoming your future self before you have the results. But the moment you start going for that version of you, your brain starts writing reasons to quit. It's convincing. It's subtle. And it sounds exactly like logic. This video is about catching it, naming it, and trading it for something that actually moves you forward. Haven't watched Standard #1 yet? You'll still love this video, but start here first fro the full picture — #2 builds directly on it: [LINK] New standard every Wednesday at 10am ET.

Your life doesn't rise to your goals. It settles to the level of your standards. That one line is why I built this series. This is A Salesgirl Series: 7 Standards to Live By — seven weeks, one standard at a time. Each week we raise the baseline. Each week you live inside it. By the end, you're not the woman who started. We begin with the one everything else is built on:  ⭐️ Standard #1 — The Future-Me Standard Most women are waiting to feel like her before they act like her. That's the whole problem. Identity doesn't follow results — it leads them. This video shows you exactly how to flip it. In this episode: - Why your current results are an exact reflection of who you're being right now - How your brain filters reality (and how to change the filter) - A guided journaling exercise to meet your future self and start acting like her today The next 6 standards will drop on Wednesdays at 10am ET.

Most people think paid ads are a magic button. Spend money in. Get customers out. But that's not how it works. Paid ads don't fix your business. They expose it. If your message is strong, ads can help you scale faster. If your message is weak, ads can help you lose money faster. And that's exactly why this conversation matters. In this episode, Macy sits down with Ashley to talk about what really happens when entrepreneurs rely on paid ads before they understand sales, messaging, and conversion. They get into why so many business owners outsource ads too early, what changes when you bring ads in-house, the biggest mistakes beginners make, what's actually working in paid ads right now, and why sales skills are the missing piece for so many people trying to scale. Because visibility is valuable. But visibility without conversion? Expensive. If you've ever thought ads would solve the problem… or if you're already running them and wondering why they're not converting… this episode is for you. 🔗 Links & Resources: 🤑 Macy's Get Seriously Good at Selling Masterclass: https://go.thesalesgirls.com/sgas-register 🏆 Ashley's Win With Paid Ads Challenge: https://www.paidadscoaching.com/challenge 📲 Follow The Salesgirls on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesalesgirlsofficial/ Join the Sell Your Offer Challenge❤️‍🔥  Buy our Book, Persuade for Good📖Watch us on YouTube!🚀

In every business, something (or should we say.. someONE) sets the pace. Not the systems. Not the offers. Not the team. The leader does. And how you think and feel about sales is quietly setting the speed of your entire business. Most founders don’t realize this… but the biggest constraint in their company isn’t strategy or marketing. It’s their belief system about sales. Sales gets treated like a drawer — something you open when it’s time to sell and close when you’re done. But sales isn’t a drawer. It’s the first floor of the business... what everything else is built on! It’s the belief system that flows into your marketing, your content, your leadership, your hiring, and even the way you build offers. When sales becomes a value instead of a task, everything changes. In this video, Macy breaks down: • The hidden belief about sales that holds women founders back • Why sales mistakes usually come from outdated beliefs (not bad execution) • The leadership leak that slows down your entire business • How real sales skill changes the way you lead Because when sales becomes part of how you think, not just something you do, your business starts to move differently. If you’re ready to rebuild the foundation instead of patching the ceiling, start here. 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES 📅 Save Your Seat in the Next FREE Masterclass: https://go.thesalesgirls.com/sgas-register  📱Follow The Salesgirls on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thesalesgirlsofficial Join the Sell Your Offer Challenge❤️‍🔥  Buy our Book, Persuade for Good📖Watch us on YouTube!🚀

Long before thousands of women started learning the art of conversation and the science of persuasion… there was a dad teaching his daughter. If you’ve been around The Salesgirls for a while, you’ve probably heard me mention him before — Loy Day. He’s the person who originally taught me the sales principles that eventually became the foundation of everything we teach today. Some of the frameworks I teach now started as conversations between the two of us years ago — sometimes at the dinner table, sometimes in the car, ALWAYS in moments I didn’t fully realize were shaping my future. Before filming this interview, we asked our community what they would want to ask him. Of course there were questions about sales. But there were also a lot of parenting questions. Not many people get the opportunity to sit down and interview their dad like this. I’m really grateful we captured this conversation, and I’m glad it will live here forever. If you enjoy the interview, comment and I'll read them all to Loy! ⭐️ Timestamps for Loy's Answers to These Questions 36:12 How do you raise daughters to grow up confident like Macy? 40:17 How Loy partners with the Holy Spirit in business decisions 41:57 Did he ever imagine his sales training would turn into this? 45:00 Has anyone ever changed your perspective on how to approach a sale? 48:10 Chasing clients vs. having them come to you 52:00 Loy’s favorite book 🔗 Resources and Links  💸 Join the LIVE Seriously Good at Selling Masterclass: https://go.thesalesgirls.com/sgas-register?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=Webinar&utm_content=masterclass  📚 Psychology of Winning: https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Winning-Qualities-Total-Winner/dp/0425099997 Join the Sell Your Offer Challenge❤️‍🔥  Buy our Book, Persuade for Good📖Watch us on YouTube!🚀

They say money can’t buy happiness... But it can buy a place where your family builds memories for decades. This was filmed the same day as our dream home reveal — but this isn’t the polished tour. This is a real conversation about what it actually takes to build something that lasts. Because here’s the part most people don’t understand: Risk comes before reward. Before the generational home… there were bets. Before the “wow”… there were reinvestments that felt scary. Before the fruit… there were seasons where we wondered if we were crazy (only for a second though). Most people see the house. They don’t see the risk that came first. If you’re in a risk season right now: this is for you. 🏠 See more of the pond house reveal on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesalesgirlsofficial/?hl=en 💕 Huge thank you to Truth & Co. and the incredible designers who brought this vision to life: https://www.truthandco.co 🔗 We're working on linking some of the actual home products soon — make sure you’re on our email list so you don’t miss the full breakdown when it's ready: https://guideculture.kartra.com/page/salesgirloptin Join the Sell Your Offer Challenge❤️‍🔥  Buy our Book, Persuade for Good📖Watch us on YouTube!🚀

You ever want to grab someone by the shoulders and say: “Why don’t you see what I see?!” Because YOU can see it... so clearly! You can see the confidence, the money, the relief, the future version of them that feels free... And they’re just… blinking at you. 😂 It’s not that your offer doesn’t work. It’s not that people are dumb. And it’s not that you’re bad at sales. It’s that you’re talking (screaming) from the top of the ladder. You’re ten steps ahead — explaining from the top — while they’re still standing on the ground, squinting up. In this live training (recorded in front of a full audience at HQ), I teach you the exact framework we use to turn: “What I do” into “Why this matters to YOU.” You’ll learn: Why general benefits sound smart but don’t move peopleThe difference between explaining and translatingHow to become destination-minded in your messagingIf people aren’t buying, it’s rarely because your offer is bad. It’s because they don’t care (yet). And sales is the skill of making people care. 📌 Want the exact slides I used during this training?

Your brain isn’t broken... it’s just full. Most women think they have a discipline problem. Or a motivation problem. Or a TIME problem. But what’s actually happening? Your brain has become a storage unit instead of a workspace. In this video, Macy walks you through: Why your thoughts “leak” when they’re unprocessed The difference between a brain drain and a brain dump How Morning Pages (from The Artist’s Way) quiet your inner critic How to use journaling as a leadership tool, not a self-care ritual Specific prompts inspired by Dickie Bush and Matthew Dicks How to create directed prompts using AI in a way that’s actually personal Your brain was never meant to hold your entire life. It was meant to think! Imagine! Lead! If you feel scattered, irritated, overstimulated, or stuck… This might be the most practical reset you implement all year. 🔗 Resources and Links 🎨 The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron: https://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-25th-Anniversary/dp/0143129252 📚 Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks: https://www.amazon.com/Storyworthy-Engage-Persuade-through-Storytelling/dp/1608685489 ✨Louise Carmen Journals: https://louisecarmen.com/en/collections/all-notebooks?srsltid=AfmBOoraNcyua0GeWLCx9Q_XLaIiQRYXihnP8t3M8G0No7wFBvE3sUnm ✍🏼 Dickie Bush’s journaling prompts: https://www.dickiebush.com/writing/after-1-000-days-of-journaling-these-are-the-10-prompts-that-most-accelerated-my-personal-progress 🧡 Jeremiah 12:5 (“Run with horses”): https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah 12%3A5&version=NIV If this helped you, be sure to comment - I read every one!

Most people think selling themselves means talking more. Explaining more. Proving more. That’s the one of the biggest mistakes I see, even in some extremely high level business owners or job candidates. Whether you realize it or not, you’re selling yourself all the time — in interviews, meetings, conversations, and in how you answer the question, “So… what do you do?” This video was inspired by a message I received from someone who was asked to explain why they deserved a promotion and a chance to move into a different department. She didn’t need better words. She needed a better understanding of what actually makes someone choose her. Spoiler alert... she got the job! In this video, I walk through 9 simple moves that show you how to sell yourself without talking about yourself — by shifting the focus to the other person, what they care about, and what they stand to gain. These aren’t just interview tricks. They’re principles. And once you understand them, they work everywhere — in leadership, business, relationships, and any room where a decision is being made. I also linked a free resource below with the 9 moves laid out clearly so you can bookmark and reference them anytime. 😘 🔗 Resources & Links 📌 BOOKMARK THIS!

Most people think they have nothing interesting to say. They assume their life is ordinary. Their work is boring. Their stories don’t matter. But that’s almost never true. In this episode, Macy sits down with Ashley Renders — a former journalist turned storytelling expert — to unpack why so many smart, capable people struggle with content… and what’s actually missing. Ashley spent years interviewing people for a living. And what she learned is this: the problem usually isn’t a lack of experiences or ideas. It’s that no one ever taught people HOW to see WHAT is interesting. Now, she helps business owners do the same thing — not by being louder or more dramatic, but by understanding how stories actually work. This conversation was recorded live, which means you’ll hear real-time insight, nuance, and the kind of depth that only shows up when thoughtful people are in the room together. In this episode, we cover: What storytelling actually is (and what people usually misunderstand)Why stories work so well in business content — especially compared to tips aloneWhy some stories stop people mid-scroll while others fall flatThe most common mistakes business owners make when trying to “add stories” to their contentHow to recognize what’s actually story-worthy in your everyday lifeA simple way to turn moments, experiences, and beliefs into compelling storiesHow to use AI to enhance storytelling without losing your voiceBecause the cheat code to content isn’t posting more... And once you learn how to notice, reflect, and tell the truth about the life you’re already living — you never wonder what to say again. ✨ Links & Resources 🔗 ❤️‍🔥 Create Like A CEO Masterclass with Ashley: https://www.ashleyrenders.com/createlikeaceo?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAPpzS9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAacMVvCkEPJhLOCOthE2wrkJ0L5jvl4ozwgLa8G8DI6HQpIwQBuhmAOOGZ0TYg_aem_N5-OBv8HYkvwa0C4tWIEgw 📱Follow Ashley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashley.renders/ 🍿 Read the 5-minute blog post on how we use storytelling in online business: https://salesgirlsocial.beehiiv.com/p/using-storytelling-online-business 🧠 Watch more conversations like this on the Salesgirls YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/CiUr50zkm8A?si=qHmqlNztjGblBSS3 🪩 Explore Salesgirls resources on communication, storytelling, and selling: https://thesalesgirls.com/ Join the Sell Your Offer Challenge❤️‍🔥  Buy our Book, Persuade for Good📖Watch us on YouTube!🚀

I don't know who needs to hear this but snakes don’t shed because they want to — they shed because they have to. In this video, Macy McNeely shares the six hard truths 2025 forced her to learn — through pregnancy, partnership changes, and navigating visibility at a level she couldn’t hide from anymore. These aren’t just cute self-realizations... They’re life principles that are learned through pressure, repetition, and staying in the room when it would’ve been easier to tap out. Not to mention they could save you millions of minutes and dollars… Inside, we talk about: - Why great things take time (and why boredom is often the doorway to mastery) - How to release without resolving (and get your energy back) - Why visibility beats ability — even when it makes you uncomfortable - What authenticity actually looks like without trauma dumping - Why your work is always working (either for you or on you) - How to stop planting worry trees in futures that haven’t happened yet And why 2026 — the Year of the Fire Horse — can be different. If 2025 stretched you…If it stripped you…If it quietly rebuilt you… This one’s for you. 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS  🧠 Download the 6 Hard Truths Self-Reflection Based on This Video: https://go.sellyourofferchallenge.com/6-hard-truths-opt-in  🔥 Get Coached by Macy in the Sell Your Offer Challenge: https://go.sellyourofferchallenge.com/syoc-2-0   📺 Recommended Watches from Voices Mentioned in the Video: Omar Eltakrori: https://youtu.be/XOVY57gysSQ?si=wBz0I78Mz1s5Zro-  Myron Golden: https://www.youtube.com/live/eqSB8nzIabM?si=7Cn7xrp1fbu7uD2Q  📱 Follow On IG: The Salesgirls: https://www.instagram.com/thesalesgirlsofficial?igsh=MjE3azlycDNtOHI4&utm_source=qr  Kris Plachy: https://www.instagram.com/krisplachycoach?igsh=OXZ5Z3k3MzIyd2M0  Whitney Uland: https://www.instagram.com/whitneyuland?igsh=MWgxZTFkY3g5dmpyNw==  📖 Referenced Scriptures James 1:2–4 Romans 5:3–4 If this video helped you name something you couldn’t quite articulate yet — let us know in the comments.

If sales conversations have started to feel heavy, awkward, or desperate, this video will change how you show up instantly. In this podcast, I break down the one mindset shift that takes you from trying to sell to creating natural, confident conversations that buyers actually want to be part of. You’ll learn why going into a call with an agenda is often the very thing pushing people away—and how shifting into curiosity, detachment, and true fit changes everything. When you stop needing the sale and start seeking to understand, your presence changes, your energy shifts, and sales begin to flow. This isn’t about scripts, tactics, or pressure. It’s about who you are being in the conversation—and why that matters more than what you say. If you’ve ever felt attached to the outcome, nervous to be fully seen, or frustrated that your offer isn’t landing the way you know it could… this video is for you.

We plan meetings. We plan vacations. We plan weekends. But most people never plan their LIFE. In this conversation, I sit down with the woman behind some of ‪@jesseitzler4‬ 's wildest ideas to talk about the tool that fundamentally changes how you see your goals—and what you’re willing to do to reach them. Taylor Prokes is the co-founder of Big Ass Calendar and the strategic mind behind years of ambitious, unconventional projects. In this interview, she explains why seeing your goals changes your behavior, why planning a full year before it starts leads to braver decisions, and how doing one hard thing on purpose—a misogi—can permanently shift how you see yourself. This isn’t about productivity hacks or color-coded calendars. It’s about: – How planning your year differently changes the kind of goals you choose – What a “life resume” really is—and how you build one on purpose – Why one intentional challenge can change your identity – How Taylor uses the Big Ass Calendar to design years she’s proud of before they happen Taylor also shares how this way of thinking shaped her path—from admiring people like Sara Blakely from afar to now sitting at her kitchen table regularly—and how high-level thinkers design their lives when no one else is watching. If you’ve ever felt capable of more… If you’ve ever set goals that sounded good but didn’t change your life… If you want to stop reacting to your year and start designing it— ... this conversation will change how you think about time. Seeing your year changes the question from “What do I feel like doing today?” to “Who am I becoming this year?” If you enjoy this video, COMMENT and let us know!
