Hey there! Ophelia 🌈 here!
I’m still cleaning up my notes and photos from last semester. I really shouldn’t have spent so much time in the Veil of Timeless Pondering (If you missed that story, I’ll drop the link at the bottom). I left behind a HUGE mess and my business is a wreck! To be honest, I am SO overwhelmed right now!
*Takes Deep Breath*
So, I’m trying to just take things one step at a time, starting with cleaning, because I just can’t move forward without cleaning up the mess behind me.
Oh NO! I can’t believe I saved these! They should have gone straight into the trash. How embarrassing! Look at these terrible notes I wrote!
I really did struggle at the beginning of the Sales Pitch Mastery Course.
So, we were on “Step 1: Who are you?,” right? It’s all about nailing that crisp intro that makes folks want to know more about you.
When I first tackled this, I thought, "Simple! I'm the Chief Enchantment Officer of Acorn Alchemy!" But then, I realized, who really knows what that means? I had to tone down my inner unicorn and think more like... I dunno, a single celled amoeba?
But after our last class where Cheryl told that story about fitting in and fitting out, and being ourselves, I got a little confused. So I shouldn’t tone down my inner unicorn?
I went to see Cheryl and she said,
“It's like your Enlightenment Merch Collection. Do you remember what you told me about it? 'It's about finding the beauty in simplicity. It's about the small moments of insight.' It's tempting to be the Gandalf of your field with a fancy title like ‘Sorceress of Mystical Wonders’... but ‘Magical Merch Artist’ gets to the heart of the matter way faster. Beauty in Simplicity."
Nothing like needing to be told something you already know, huh? Be Authentic in my marketing, but be less Gandalf, More Amoeba in my headline. I think I like “Mystical Merch Artist.” That feels a bit more me.
My Key Takeaway: 🧙♀️✨
My key takeaway from this lesson in my sales pitch course is: Your headline is your magical first impression! Make it descriptive, clear, and a little bit charming (without confusing the heck out of people).
If someone has to summon a crystal ball 🔮 just to figure out what you do… it’s time for a headline makeover, my friend! 🪄
Anyway, I’m off to tinker with my next big idea
(hint: it involves runes and glitter—obviously ✨).
Sprinkles and Sparkles,
Ophelia 🌈
