Summary

If you’re like most business owners, you probably have leads that would buy from you – but you’re putting off asking for the sale. Why? Because you don’t want to come off as salesy or manipulative. But here’s the truth: if your product is solving a problem that your customer has, you’re actually making their life better by asking them to buy it.

It’s Day 5 of the Double Your Revenue Challenge, and in today’s episode, Donald Miller challenges you to call some of your leads and ask them to buy. It might be awkward and uncomfortable – but it gets easier with practice! And… people aren’t going to buy unless you ask them to. Tune in now to learn how to ask for the sale!

0:21.2	ton of small business owners are taking to actually double their revenue going into an economic
0:26.5	headwind. A lot of us are concerned that our revenue is going to decline. Maybe your revenue is
0:30.5	already started to decline. It doesn't have to. If you just do some things and have some passion

1:21.2	Have that product start spreading and have people come to you, opening their wallets and giving you
1:25.3	money. It rarely works that way. Most of the time, you actually do have to, more or less,
