199. Urgency That Works Better Than Discounts

Are discounts actually hurting your sales? If you’ve been relying on them to drive more course enrollments or product sales, you might be attracting the wrong buyers—and leaving money on the table.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why we’re ditching discounts in 2025 and the best ethical urgency strategies we’ve discovered to drive sales.

Because the real reason people buy has nothing to do with a deadline and everything to do with what’s already happening in their lives. You’ll learn how to tap into urgency that feels relevant and compelling to your audience, plus two powerful tools we use inside Freedom Found Collective to increase conversions without cheapening the offer.

If you want to stop relying on discounts and start selling in a way that attracts the right buyers, this episode is for you.
