• The power of staying committed to your vision even when life feels heavy

Welcome back, babes, to the Scale Your Sales Podcast! This week, Jillian Murphy delivers a super short and sweet powerhouse episode focused on tackling one of the most challenging sales objections: “I need to think about it.”

Jillian explains that when you hear this objection, it's actually your opportunity to pull back the layers and find out what the client is really thinking about, rather than just accepting it and killing your sales. She emphasizes that getting the first objection is when sales truly begin.

Topics Covered:

• Why "I need to think about it" is an opportunity, not the end of the sale.
• The danger of accepting the objection and saying, "I'm here when you're ready".
• The 5 Powerful Questions to Ask When Facing an Objection
• Using tone and tonality to reinforce the client's pain point
• Why the final question is a "deer in the headlights" moment for the client (and why they won't solve it on their own).

“When you get your first objection, that's really when sales begin.” – Jillian

Welcome back, babes, to the podcast! Super excited about today's episode. In this honest and inspiring conversation, host Jillian Murphy sits down with Caitlin Magidson—a licensed mental health therapist and a career and leadership coach. Caitlin is a peer, a friend, a client, and a colleague who helps people love the life and career they live.

Jillian and Caitlin peel back the layers on career change, the power of self-reflection, and how to successfully navigate the job market without relying only on quick online applications. This is a must-listen for corporate professionals and entrepreneurs alike who are ready to make a conscious shift in their careers.

Topics Covered:

• The power of outward networking at real-life events, yoga, or hiking groups.
• Caitlin's journey from broadcast communications to career and leadership coaching.
• Coaching vs. Therapy: Coaching focuses on action and specific goals, not treating anxiety/depression.
• Symptoms of needing support: feeling stuck, fearful, or unable to retell your story.
• Don't rely on online job applications; you must network and do informational interviews.
• The first step is deep self-reflection to clarify values, money, and desired environment.
• Moving from motion (planning/thinking) to action (executing the strategy).
• The vulnerability of saying what you want out loud to own it.

“Motion is a lot of planning and thinking... but action is when you actually start to execute” – Caitlin
