What Training My Puppy Taught Me About Selling Online

About this episode

Teresa shares insights from training her puppy that apply to online selling strategies.

In this episode, I share a fun but surprisingly powerful story about how getting my six-month-old golden retriever puppy, Nelly Mae, turned into a real-life lesson in online selling. Within just three hours of discovering a dog trainer on YouTube, I found myself not only binge-watching his content but also purchasing his £250 “Perfect Puppy” course. That experience made me stop and reflect on exactly what worked—and how those same strategies apply directly to our own businesses. I walk through five key selling lessons I took from that journey, including the importance of creating bingeable, easy-to-find content that builds trust quickly, offering a lead magnet that truly matches what your audience is already looking for, and tapping into your audience’s pain and urgency at the exact moment they’re searching for a solution. I also talk about how powerful it is to build trust through proof—like testimonials, results, and visible expertise—and why presenting your offer at the right time, especially for lower-cost products, can make all the difference. By the end, I encourage you to look at your own business and spot where you might be missing opportunities to convert ready-to-buy…
