Ep. 26. How to Sell in the DMs Without Being Pushy with Jillian Murphy

Are you tired of sliding into DMs only to feel awkward, pushy, or ignored? This episode is your permission slip to sell with ease, authenticity, and confidence. Kat sits down with Jillian Murphy, a powerhouse with over 25 years of real-world sales experience and more than $100 million sold in corporate spaces. After pivoting online during the pandemic, Jillian cracked the code on connecting, selling, and building trust in the digital world without the sleazy scripts or aggressive tactics.

This conversation goes beyond generic sales advice. Jillian shares her blueprint for humanizing your DMs, letting content do the selling, and following up ethically while building real relationships that convert naturally. Whether you’re selling services, coaching, or products, her approach will shift your perspective and your results.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to build trust online in a so-called "trust recession"
• The power of showing up authentically in your content and interactions
• Ethical ways to create urgency and follow up without feeling pushy
• How to connect with ideal clients through genuine curiosity
• Why the DMs are the ultimate "bursting pipe" moment for sales
