Selling in your sleep – as easy as 1 2 3

I have to admit that years ago, when I first heard people talking about selling in your sleep, I didn’t really believe it could be a thing.  If it was that easy surely everyone would be doing it.  It sounded too good to be true.

From skeptic to sleeper seller.

Fast forward to today and you’ll be surprised to hear I’m doing it. In real life. And it’s amazing!

And not only that, I’m also helping others to do it too.

I still can’t believe that I literally wake up in the morning and I’ve made sales.  I go for a swim… a dog walk… a drink… a week off… and the sales still roll in.

The truth behind the magic

How did I go from dismissing the idea to waking up having made sales, or sitting on the beach watching the sales roll in?

Firstly, I’m known for my honesty.  So let’s get one thing clear – I didn’t just bang together a quick course, whack it out and Bob’s your uncle (sorry to break that to you).  It took A LOT of tweaking, testing and perfecting.

And you’ll have to create some automation wizardry. (Don’t worry, choose the right software and it will do a lot of this for you.)

Your talents have value

Everyone has unique talents. The real magic is coming to the realisation that these talents can be turned into a course or product. One that has value – that people are willing to pay for.

It could be anything – How to fly fish like a pro, How to do make up for people who don’t do make up, How to take beautiful photos with your iPhone, or in my case, How to set up a VA business.

Gone are the days of physically delivering your expertise in person to all your clients. There’s a whole market out there for on demand education products based on your skills and expertise.

Selling in your sleep is easier than you think

The process of creating your product isn’t difficult, despite what you might think.

In fact, with help from Vi-VA, you might say it’s as simple as 1, 2, 3:

1. Extracting the information from you – sounds painful but it really isn’t!

2. Making it look pretty, checking it’s readable and uploading it to an online platform

3. Building a funnel to automate the journey for your leads

After that, all you’ll need to do is drop new leads into your funnel and you’ll be waking up to find sales were made overnight too!

Why I created my own online course

How can I be so sure about all this? Let’s go back to the beginning…

I was running my own successful VA business, having left my previous corporate banking career. I was passionate about the freedom being a VA gave me, and people could obviously see this.

They started coming to me to ask for help in setting up as a VA themselves which led to me mentoring people.  I loved this, but I soon found there weren’t enough hours in the day to run my own business and help others.

I wanted to carry on making a difference to people’s lives – it became something I was really passionate about – but I just didn’t have the time to meet the demand.

Helping more people – without the burnout

I decided to take all my knowledge and experience and turn it into an online programme. I could help far more people, at a more affordable rate to them than my 1:1 time, and I freed up time for myself.

Which is how I came to be selling in my sleep. My programme was of value to others who didn’t have the confidence to go it alone and couldn’t afford to make the expensive mistakes I had when starting out.

Reach more people, make more impact

With online sales, you’re also expanding the markets you can reach. Just think about some successful online business marketers, like Tony Robbins (who does this brilliantly) –  they’re on a mission to share what they know and help people across the world.
