The Power Table with Taylor Smith How to Simplify Your Strategy, Build Trust, and Convert at a Higher Level in Online Sales with Michelle DeNio
If you’ve been in business for a few years and feel like you’ve hit a revenue ceiling, this episode is your reset.
In this conversation, Taylor Smith sits down with business strategist and The Real Truth About Business podcast host Michelle DeNio to unpack what’s actually working in today’s online business landscape—and what’s not. Together, they explore why so many service-based entrepreneurs get stuck after the initial growth phase, and what it really takes to break through to consistent six-figure revenue.
Michelle shares her no-fluff perspective on why more content, more offers, and more visibility aren’t always the answer—and how simplifying your strategy, focusing on relationship-building, and creating intentional conversion events can unlock your next level of growth.
They also dive into how consumer behavior has shifted since the pandemic, why trust is now the most valuable currency in your business, and how even a small audience can drive high conversions when approached with clarity and intention.
Whether you’re stuck in a plateau, preparing for your next launch, or rethinking your business strategy, this episode will help you realign your efforts and focus on what actually moves the needle.
