Episode 540: The Introvert's Guide To Selling Yourself with Krista Demcher

podcast Jun 04, 2025
The Introvert's Guide To Selling Yourself with Krista Demcher

Selling doesn’t have to feel awkward, pushy, or overwhelming—especially if you’re an introvert. In this episode, I chat with Krista Demcher, sales strategist and founder of The ACORN Method, who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs learn how to sell in a way that feels like them. Krista shares how to shift your mindset around sales, embrace conversations as connection, and use storytelling to sell with confidence—no scripts, no sleaze, no huge team required. Whether you're gearing up for a launch or just want to feel more natural talking about your offers, this one’s packed with practical wisdom and real-world encouragement.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The mindset shift that helps you embrace sales as a service, not a pitch
  • Why introverts actually have a superpower when it comes to selling
  • How to use storytelling to connect, build trust, and guide someone toward a decision
  • What selling looks like as a solo business owner—without fancy funnels or big teams
  • The sales trends Krista is seeing for 2025, and why being human is the most powerful strategy you have
