But here's the real question: is the offer actually the problem?
When I hear "it's not selling," my next question is always: why? And the answer is rarely what people expect.
Welcome back to the Easy Yes Offer series where we're digging into why some offers take off while others stall—and why "not selling" is often just the starting point of the wrong diagnosis.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
Why offers don't sell isn't always obvious.
How to validate real demand before creating new offers.
The role of clarity, positioning, and specificity in sales.
Why promotion and visibility matter more than most people think.
How to use poor sales as feedback instead of failure.

What job will it do?
Because the right offer makes your business easier to market, sell, and grow. The wrong one creates confusion, complexity, and more work for you.
In this episode, we're doing an Offer Edit—a simple process to evaluate your existing offers, cut through the clutter, and ensure every offer in your business has a clear purpose.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
Why creating more offers often makes your business harder to market, sell, and run.
The hidden costs of a cluttered offer suite and how complexity hurts referrals and conversions.
How to conduct an Offer Edit using the Recommit, Refine, and Retire framework.
The difference between Easy Yes Offers and Next Yes Offers—and why every offer needs a clear role.
How to evaluate your offers for client fit, business fit, and overall fit within your offer suite.

About Staying Solo
Growing a solo service business is tough. It's even harder when you're bombarded with BS advice that steers you away from your values and why you started your business in the first place.
This is the podcast for solo creatives and consultants who want to remain as a team of one and have zero interest in the hustle and grind of typical business teachings.
Most podcasts for solopreneurs and freelancers, hosted by out-of-touch celebrity entrepreneurs who haven't offered one-to-one services in years, miss the mark on today's market realities.
Maggie Patterson, a service business owner for 20 years, understands that to stay solo, you need to know what matters to you, what works for you, and what you should completely ignore.
In each episode, she examines one piece of conventional business advice to discover how it may hurt your business or be completely wrong for you as a solo business owner.
Join Maggie for real talk to help you avoid burnout or the desire to entirely burn down your business to open a flower shop, book store, or cat cafe. (Because those cats won't pay the bills.)
