The Know-Like-Trust Lie They Sold You

Sold Out Sales School

About

You’ve heard it a thousand times: “People need to know you, like you, and trust you before they buy.”

But what if that framework - the one every coach repeats - is being taught completely backwards when selling to moms and real families?

Trish dismantles the Know-Like-Trust lie that’s quietly killing your sales. She shares how she followed all the “right” advice from big-name coaches, grew an audience that loved her content… but still wasn’t making money - until she realized the entire framework needed to be flipped for consumer audiences.

If your content gets likes and comments but no sales, this episode will show you exactly why and how to fix it. Stop creating content that’s about you. Start creating content that makes her feel deeply seen.

💡 What You’ll Learn Inside This Episode

    Why the classic Know-Like-Trust framework works for entrepreneurs but fails for moms and real peopleThe backwards truth: “Know” doesn’t mean she knows you - it means YOU know herHow Trish’s early content grew engagement but not sales - and what changed everythingThe real meaning of “Like”: It’s not about being relatable or funny - it’s about understanding her life, struggles, and feelings

🔥 Mic-Drop Moments

“Likes get you followers. Understanding gets you buyers.”

“You’ve been trained by an online business world that mostly sells to entrepreneurs - and you are learning a different language.”
