  Is Your Buying Process Quietly Costing You Sales?

  Sep 29, 202615 min

  Send Carrie a Text Message! Have you ever had someone tell you they were ready to buy... and then somehow they never finished? Sometimes we assume they changed their mind. And sometimes they did. But sometimes the problem is much simpler: They were trying to give you money, and your buying process made it harder than it needed to be. That can happen in a traditional eCommerce store. It can happen when someone is buying a course. Booking a service. Joining a membership. Signing up for a coaching program. So today, I want to walk through some of the places your buying process may be quietly creating friction—and what you can do about it.

  How to Prepare Your Online Business for Black Friday Without Overcomplicating It

  Sep 22, 202613 min

  Send Carrie a Text Message! Black Friday might feel a long way off right now... but if you run an online business, this is actually the perfect time to start thinking about it. Not because you need to build some giant complicated promotion. I think the opposite is true. The more complicated you make Black Friday, the harder it is to prepare for, the harder it is to explain, and the harder it can be for your customers to buy. So today, I want to walk through how to get ready early, keep it simple, and make sure your website, offer, email, and technology are actually ready before Black Friday gets here.

You can have a lot of followers, post consistently, and feel like you’re doing all the right things to get visible... and still wonder why that visibility isn’t turning into clients.

  Which Software is Perfect for your Online Business

  Aug 18, 202613 min

  Send Carrie a Text Message! How many pieces of software are you paying for in your business—and do you actually know what all of them do? In this episode, we’re talking about why it’s so easy to get caught in the cycle of buying the latest tools, apps, and software recommendations, only to end up with a more complicated business and a pile of monthly subscriptions. Instead of buying software because someone else says you need it, we’re shifting the focus to a much more important question: What problem are you actually trying to solve?

  Your Website Should Be Working Harder Than You

  Aug 11, 20269 min

  Send Carrie a Text Message! Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the work in your business? You’re posting on social media, sending emails, answering the same questions, explaining your services, chasing leads, and following up...while your website is just sitting there. But here’s the thing: your website shouldn’t just be an online brochure. It should be one of the hardest-working members of your team. Your website should be helping you educate potential clients, build trust, answer questions, generate leads, and guide people toward the next step—even when you’re busy running your business. So, let’s talk about what your website should actually be doing for you behind the scenes.
