Don't just hope clients say yes. Land your dream creative projects and make the money you REALLY want with a bold, no-sweat sales process!

<h2>NOTE: Out of an abundance of caution about COVID-19 concerns, this event is now virtual. A link will be sent to all participants prior to the event.</h2><p></p><p>Clients find your business in so many different ways: searching online, Instagram, referrals from colleagues or friends, professional groups, LinkedIn. And as a creative entrepreneur or freelancer, you&#x27;ve got a ton to do every day. You want that signed contract ASAP, and it&#x27;s frustrating to do lots of prep for phone calls that go <em>nowhere</em>.</p><p> It&#x27;s easy for YOU to see your value—<strong>so why is it so hard for dream clients to say yes? </strong></p><p>Growing your business isn&#x27;t rocket science. There&#x27;s a way to turn those lukewarm convos into red-hot yeses over and over again that frees you up to do the other things you really love. </p><p>It&#x27;s sales, and yes, it has a bad reputation.</p><p></p><h3>The way you&#x27;re thinking about sales is wrong.</h3><p></p><p>Lots of founders think sales is slimy, scammy, and just plain uncomfortable. And with so many people doing it the wrong way, that&#x27;s no surprise.</p><p>The problem is that successful CEOs (read: mostly white men) know that sales is THE way that their businesses grow.  </p><p></p><h3>Women and people of color have been told to be polite, quiet, and non-threatening for years...which keeps them underpaid and overworked, even as entrepreneurs. Let&#x27;s change that.</h3><p></p><p>The truth is that you don&#x27;t need to force people to buy things or work with you (that&#x27;s the wrong way to do sales). Find out how to have confident, powerful, and helpful sales conversations that turn prospects into new clients AND create an easy sales system for your business at this interactive masterclass! </p><p>Hone your sales skills and perfect your processes with Business Coach Jess Joswick and systems strategist Ashley Hogrebe. You&#x27;ll get:</p><ul><li>A productive, expansive mindset for sales calls</li><li>An easy-to-follow roadmap for converting and comfortable sales calls</li><li>The simple systems every business needs to track clients that automate and personalize your outreach</li><li>LIVE sales call practice and feedback </li><li>All the tech tools you need to fuel your sales and marketing </li></ul>

<h2>Why you should  join us:</h2><p>Most sales trainings share skills without acknowledging the relationship between money and power—and the fact that a few of us have held a lot of both for too long.</p><p>Stress-Free Sales puts the humanity back into sales. We want to reframe sales and use the power of conversation for good, not evil.</p><p>As entrepreneurs, we have the power to break the mold and change our money discussions so we can <em>easily</em> negotiate with clients, investors, distributors, and partners and do the work we love.</p><p><strong>Are you ready to invest in the tools that will fuel your business for years to come?</strong></p><p></p><h2>Our schedule</h2><p>8:30am—12:30pm: Meet other motivated entrepreneurs, enjoy breakfast beverages, discover a healthy sales mindset, learn the Backbone sales method and smart sales tools for any business</p><p>12:30pm—1:30pm: Lunch break</p><p>1:30pm—4:00pm: Put the morning session into practice right away! Get live feedback on sales conversations  and have your automations and tools set up and ready to go before you leave (plus insights from 2 experts on the skills and habits of successful business owners)</p><p></p><h2>Scholarship ticket</h2><p>Backbone Business is committed to making this event accessible to marginalized communities.

<h2>About Your Coach</h2><p><strong>Hi, I'm Jess, your coach, strategist, idea-maker, and bad pun-creator.</strong></p><p>I support founders who are overwhelmed, overworked, and over their whole business get back their freedom, stability, and profitability so they can create happy, healthy lives for themselves and their teams and run the businesses they were born to lead. As a self-funded entrepreneur myself, I know the struggle of balancing priorities and making smart investments firsthand.</p><p>I’ve worked with companies and nonprofits in the U.S. and internationally. My background in marketing, brand management, communications development, fundraising, and event management gives me a unique window into the startup hustle. I live in the Pasadena area and in my free time, you can find me looking at art, hiking, and searching for the perfect matcha latte. </p><p></p><h2>About Our Featured Speaker</h2><p>Ashley Hogrebe is an online business systems strategist and the founder of Run The World, a 5-week accountability group for feminist creatives to work on 3 goals (personal, political and business) and get real-time feedback from a strong, ambitious and supportive community.</p>
