Welcome to the Uncloned Insider Audio Newsletter. My name is Audria Richmond® and I am your marketing and launch strategist. I work directly with my clients to teach them how to build uncloned brands and launch profitable marketing campaigns. We are the brand that you come to when you want to become or remain the obvious choice of your industry. Hey, Uncloned Insiders.

I hope you had a great weekend. We had an amazing weekend. I'm getting this audio newsletter out a little bit later than normal mainly because we did an opportunity our virtual meetup and we started onboarding our new clients that enrolled inside the Unclone Weekend Intensive so on last Thursday and Sunday well on last Thursday we did a launch style masterclass which was a webinar that was about I guess you could say two and a half hours and then we did an encore of that webinar on Sunday which was like three hours and so the reason I'm bringing this up is because you notice I didn't say I created content right? I ran some ads to attract new people and then we also began to, know, create a few pieces of content online and it was more so promoting the flyer that we had letting people know that this class was happening. But in order to get the sale in 2025, you're gonna have to get comfortable with launching.

Okay? I know y'all been hearing me talk about this for quite some time, and we did a poll on people who came to the Launch Style Masterclass, and a good portion of people said that they don't launch. However, a lot of people are focused on creating content. So if you have not reached 6 figures or beyond in your business, you really need to prioritize activities that get you in front of prospects. So this could be one on one calls, this could be webinars, this could be challenges, this could be events, workshops, anything that's going to that's going to allow you to get in front of people, ideally one to many now if you're like kind of terrified of doing one to many then you could totally just do one on one but I do not recommend that you stay stuck in one on one for more than a year okay now the title of this audio newsletter is asking for the sale and sometimes you could be creating content but you're not asking for the sale like you're creating the reels but you're not telling people to click the link in your bio, you're creating the reels but you're not telling people to buy anything, you're creating the reels but you're not inviting people offline onto your platform to give them an experience that's exclusive to your brand.

And so I've shared this during the webinar that we just did about you know, me discovering launching, how it came about knowing about launching and how I have not stopped launching since, right? It's been over a decade at this point. And so when I look at people telling me like, hey, I'm not making any sales, you can look at the activity and this should be a great way to know if you're making money, right? Like if you created, you know, 30 pieces of content for the month of February and you did not make one sale, should you be creating 30 pieces of content in March? Probably not.

Right? However, people do this over and over and over and over again, hoping and praying that they one day yet get discovered. And one thing that's really clear around, you know, my friends that are winning with their business, they understand that they need to be doing prospecting. We understand that we need to be doing sales calls. We understand that we need to be launching.

We understand that we need to be building our platform, but I think a lot of the times when we talk about, you know, asking for the sale and getting the money, sometimes it could be deeply rooted in fear. So let me give you an example when we did our lunch style master class we introduced people to the unclone weekend intensive okay and when we did that you know you know let's say 10 or 15 people may have gotten off because I was pitching and that's another thing you can't be afraid to keep going because there's people who came who wanted to know about the offer who actually enrolled inside the Unclone Weekend Intensive. You cannot be worried about the people who like, oh this is too expensive, I ain't got the money, now at the time. Like if I focused all my time and energy on those people, I would never make an offer, which means I would never make sales, which moves me to another point. You cannot be focused on other people's pockets.

The money that people have and or don't have is actually none of your business. We actually have a audio, not audio newsletters, but we have a, YouTube video called increase your race boot camp that's on my YouTube channel where I go into great detail about this. You all are overly consumed what's going on in society, what's going on outside. And although that's pretty cool, you have to understand at the end of the day, you are running a business. You think Amazon stopped shipping packages because of stuff that's happening?

You think the restaurant stopped serving food because of something that's happening? You think the grocery stores are closed because of something that's happening? You have to understand that the world doesn't stop just because you are mentally tapped out. When you get when you get so frustrated and so angry and so mad to the point where you quit, you isolate, you shut down, you ain't doing nothing but hurting yourself, hurting your legacy, and you are abandoning your dreams. And so when we talk about asking for the sale you got to get to a place where you are confident in who you are you are confident in who you are who you are serving you're confident and why you are doing the work that you're doing because if you allow fear doubt, uncertainty to creep in, nine times of 10, you're you're not gonna you're gonna quit.

It's inevitable. And so when you're out there asking for the sale, you have to be bold about it. You don't need to apologize. You need to you need to ask for the sale quickly, frequently, quickly, frequently. People know off day one if they wanna work with you or not.

It shouldn't take people, you know, people used to say, oh, you know, people need to be engaged with you for six months, twelve months. Okay. That's cool. But the people that I'm attracting, it don't take six months to make a decision. You know today whether or not you want to build your business and scale it up.

You know today if you want to make 6 figures or not. You know today if you want to build an enterprise or have a team. You know that today. I don't have to wait six months nor do you have to wait six months to ask for the sale you should have sales systems in your business that allow you to ask for the sale automatically live and daily so let me give you an example of this we talk about the three types of marketing we're going to go into great detail about this again at Unclone Brand Live in July however when we start talking about the ways that we make money right so I have my shop that's a way for us to make sales all the time when we launch that's a way for us to make money all the time another way that we make money is if I go out and pitch myself for opportunities and so those those are three things that you could be doing every single day if you have a product to sell are you telling people about it or you just hoping that people click the link in your bio and go buy it I don't know who I'm talking to right now but you know who you are and I'm telling you quit getting distracted too sometimes you all are so busy doing everything but asking for the sale you busy creating your website you busy networking in a Facebook group you busy giving back to your community.

You busy doing everything but growing your business. I'll be honest, growing a business is not easy, but when your mission is leading you, you it shouldn't be so easy to quit. I talked about this on my YouTube video, but I was asking my friend, like, you know, how do you continue to go when everything feels like it's falling apart? Right? When you feel like people are not treating you right and they're not doing right by you and people stealing your money and taking advantage of you, like how do you continue to to fight through that?

And she said that no one person is bigger than the mission. God has given me a mission that I have to steward, and I have to make sure that I steward that because if I don't, God will give it to someone else. Some of you all do not have a good foundation on why you're doing what you're doing. Like, you got into entrepreneurship because it was cool. You decided to start a business because you saw someone else with a business, I need you to go back and revisit your why, I need you to go back and get clear on why the hell do you show up every single day to grow your business, Why are you doing it?

Is it for financial freedom? Is it because you want to be able to travel the world? Like why are you doing what you're doing? Is it because you want to help people? Get clear on that Because I've said this before, if your why is not strong enough, you will quit on a dime every time without without failure.

Right? And I know that there's a lot of things that's going on in the world. I know you have a lot of reasons to throw in a towel, but I hope that you I hope that you don't allow outside things and outside forces to make you alter and rethink the vision that God has given you. So when we talk about asking for the sale, you can't be afraid. You can't be afraid.

You can't be afraid when people unsubscribe. You can't be afraid when people leave nasty comments. You can't be afraid when somebody burned you or did you wrong. You can't quit every time that it gets bad or you feel sad. That's inevitable.

If entrepreneurship was easy, everybody would be doing it. And so when we talk about asking for the sale, do you have a way for people to learn about what it is that you have? Whether it's a website, a checkout page, you know, a tour guide, like what what tools do you have for people to learn about what you have because you can't make money if you don't have an offer, that's number one, and you can't make money if you don't even love talking about your offer or promoting your offer. How in love are you with your offer? Because if you're not in love with your offer you're not going to talk about it, you're not going to tell people about it, you're not going to promote it, but if you love your offer you know that your offer is fire, you know your offer can change the world then nine times out of 10, like, you you gonna be excited to tell people about what you have, and you're gonna make time and space for those who wanna know.

And so in this season, I don't want you to be afraid to ask for the sale. Make the offer. Make the pitch. Pitch to people. Do whatever you need to do to put yourself out there in a big way.

But please, like I said in a previous audio newsletter, please do not quit in 2025. Okay? Like, do not let yourself down. Do not let your dreams down. Right?

AM, if you are afraid to ask for the sale, ask yourself why? Why are you afraid? Do you not think people are gonna buy it? Do you not believe that you are the one that's supposed to be selling this thing? Are you even talking to the right people?

Are you promoting and marketing to the right people? So get clear on why you're doing your business, why is it important to put your business out there, and most importantly as for the sale even when people feel even if it looks like people don't even want to respond to you, even if it looks like people are just like, my god, here she go again. Yeah. Here I go again. I'm serious about what I'm doing.

It may be a joke for you. And this moves me to another point. Stop judging what you haven't tried. Whenever I see people getting annoyed that somebody else is selling, I already know they're not making money because no one gets annoyed with the thing that they know they need to do in their business unless they was being jealous or being a straight up hater. So I just want you to ask for the sale in this season.

Ask for the sale in this season. Ask for the sale in this season. Also, if you are part of the Unclone community, we actually have an ask for the sale tracker inside of the welcome to the uncloned family course that's inside the school community. So hopefully, we'll see you over there. Thank you all so much for listening, and until next time y'all.

Let's go live an uncloned life and build an uncloned brand. Bye y'all.
