Sexy Sales September officially kicks off Sept 7. But this week - Sept 1st through the 6th - is YOUR prep week. No posting required yet. Just getting your backend in order. Here's your homework before we go live. Drop your answers below in this thread: 1. What's your offer? Write it in ONE clear sentence. 2. Who is it for? Not "everyone." Get specific. 3. Do you have a way to get paid, easily? Find your link, test it, make sure it works TODAY. 4. Do you have somewhere to send people who want to learn more first? A sales page, a link in bio, a one-pager, an automated DM keyword? 5. What's the pattern you see in clients, over and over, before they ever work with you? This is also the week to ask your questions. Confused about anything, not sure how something applies to your offer, want a gut check on your answers above - drop it in this thread. Get it all sorted THIS week so when Sept 7 hits, you're not scrambling, you're just showing up and filming. Before you film your first video, go watch these - I think they're done really well: - Shelby Sapp - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcRJCWNg1tO/?igsi=MTh3eGRhajBvOWV4NA== - Jamie Sea - https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dcb6kG0CeFG/?igsi=MTk3b2I4YjNycWwzcg== - A few of my own posts https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaVwwYZR0Hi/?igsi=MXZwamg1MjB1bG9lbw== - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZShF0MzYwd/?igsi=eWpxdmI1YnRraTJs Notice the pattern across all of them: the video stays loose, real, no ask. The caption is where the whole sell lives. That's the shape. Yours will look nothing like theirs. One more thing while you're in prep mode - sales is a numbers game. One post a day is not the job. The job is the conversation after.

@Vasavi Kumar Vasavi, I have a question that is a little outside of the usual Out Loud content. Does Out Loud School have, or do you know of, a reputable skills or career assessment that helps someone identify transferable skills and the types of roles or industries those skills could translate into? After almost four decades in fitness, I am seriously considering what I could do outside of the industry. I honestly do not need the next thing to be my passion or even something I love. I need to understand what I am already qualified to do, and what may require a reasonable bridge in skills or training. I am not looking for a “what do you want to be when you grow up” assessment. I need something practical that can look at the work I have done, leadership, program building, coaching, communication, operations, business ownership, etc., and help me understand where those skills have value outside of fitness. If you have anything in TOLS or can point me to an assessment or resource you trust, I would really appreciate it. Be Well

Shoutout to one of our members who asked me this question. I wanted to answer it here because I know many of you might be thinking this too! xox Vasavi

Simply put, I can't keep saying I need like-minded people in my community but sideline myself in the community. So I am listening to Vasavi and Kim (live) and have rejoined. Full transparency, I was supposed to rejoin 3 weeks ago

We’re so conditioned to perform humility that most people can’t name one thing they’re proud of without shrinking. But confidence doesn’t come from pretending you’re small. It comes from acknowledging your growth out loud. Today we flip the script. 🗣️ DAY 6 PROMPT: “What is one thing you’re genuinely proud of — in your business AND in your life?” Examples: Business: • “I kept showing up even when my numbers were low.” • “I raised my price without shaking.” • “I honored my nervous system instead of forcing visibility.” • “I stayed consistent when my old identity wanted to hide.” Life: • “I handled grief and still kept my heart open.” • “I stopped chasing people who wouldn’t meet me.” • “I rested without guilt.” • “I trusted myself more than my fear.” Your voice strengthens what it acknowledges. Extra rep: When you record your video, name one small action you’ll take in the next 24 hours to honor what you just said. Drop your Day 6 rep below. 👇🏽 Keep your videos to 2 min or less.
