Today, we’re tackling a big topic that so many women wrestle with: sales.
How do you sell your offer without feeling pushy, slimy, or “salesy”? I’ve invited a very special guest, Stephanie Pady, to walk us through what it looks like to sell from a biblically aligned perspective. Stephanie is a mom, seminary student, sales trainer, and leadership coach who has spent years equipping both corporate teams and Christian women to step into influence with confidence. She has such a powerful lens on what sales really is—hint: it’s about trust and influence, not pressure.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
-Stephanie’s story of moving from sales resistance to sales confidence.
-Why every conversation is a sales transaction (and how that ties to the gospel).
-The #1 skill that will transform the way you connect with people.
-Practical ways to handle objections without manipulation.
-How Jesus modeled influence and what we can learn from Him about trust, questions, and leadership.
-We also talk about preparing for “no’s,” the power of one-on-one connection, and why sometimes a “not yet” is still a win.

Stefani's Bio:
Stefani Pady is the founder and coach behind Women, Worship and Work and GLS Coaching and Consulting. In the middle of incredible success in her "dream" corporate job, she was burnt out. After reading the Bible cover-to-cover for the first time, God laid a series of truths and a calling on her heart that became the foundation for her ministry at Women, Worship and Work. She is now a Maxwell Leadership-Certified Coach, published author, and professional speaker and trainer. Much of her time is spent coaching professionals working for midsize-large organizations, seeing their challenges and how they impact their personal lives. Stefani uses her experience to minister to women by walking them through real-world applications of Biblical truths. Her goal is to help women find confidence, clarity, passion, and purpose in life through the Bible's teachings.
