Lindsay Blain discusses selling with confidence starts within

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: Interview with Lindsay Blain, Creator of Self Worth to Wealth, Discussing Selling with Confidence Starts Within 

In this episode of Influential Entrepreneurs, host Mike Saunders welcomes back Lindsay Blain, the creator of Self-Worth to Wealth. The discussion dives into the concept of selling with confidence, particularly in the travel industry. Lindsay shares her personal journey from selling insurance to becoming a travel agent, emphasizing the importance of educating clients about the value of travel agents. She addresses common mental roadblocks that people face regarding sales, encouraging listeners to reframe their perspective on selling as a means of helping others rather than just a transactional process.

Lindsay explains the concept of selling is reframed from a transactional perspective to one of service and fulfillment. This shift in mindset is crucial for anyone in the sales industry, particularly travel agents, who often struggle with the notion of being “salespeople.”

Lindsay emphasizes that selling should not be viewed as a self-centered act of pushing products or services onto clients. Instead, it should be seen as an opportunity to serve and meet the needs of clients. This perspective allows agents to focus on how they can genuinely help their clients rather than merely making a sale. By changing the narrative from “selling” to “serving,” agents can alleviate the discomfort associated with sales and approach their work with a mindset of helping others.

To effectively serve clients, it is essential to understand their needs and desires. Lindsay points out that travel agents are uniquely positioned to fill a significant gap for busy families and individuals who may lack the time or expertise to plan their trips. By recognizing that their role is to create memorable experiences and facilitate family connections, agents can approach their work with a sense of purpose. This deeper understanding of their impact allows agents to engage in meaningful conversations with clients, asking questions to uncover their specific needs and preferences.

The episode highlights the importance of building relationships over merely focusing on metrics like likes and views on social media. Lindsay encourages agents to concentrate on one person at a time, making them feel valued and important. This approach fosters genuine connections, which can lead to long-term client relationships. When clients feel that their needs are prioritized, they are more likely to trust the agent and return for future services.

Lindsay shared: “Success in travel isn’t about luck—it’s about mindset, strategy, and having the right support. That’s where I come in.”

Lindsay also discusses how self-worth plays a critical role in this process. If agents do not believe in their value and the service they provide, it becomes challenging to convey that to potential clients. By working on their self-worth, agents can approach their work with confidence, which translates into their interactions with clients. When agents feel secure in their abilities, they are more likely to serve authentically and effectively.
