7 Ways to Get More Clients from Your Instagram Stories | Ep 206 Apr 202600:30:42

Today I’m walking you through exactly how I use Instagram Stories to generate leads, start conversations, and close high ticket sales inside the DMs.

I’m not talking about posting random life updates and hoping people buy. I’m talking about using your stories on purpose to drive lead generation, DM sales, and consistent inbound leads.

After 11 years in business and managing thousands of conversations, I can tell you this:
 Instagram Stories are where your buyers are deciding if they’re working with you or not.

So let’s get into the 7 ways you can start using them better — starting today.

💥 What I Cover in This Episode

  •  Why Instagram Stories are my highest-converting lead generation tool
  •  How I structure stories to actually sell on Instagram Stories
  •  The difference between a CTA vs. a CTB (and why you need both) 
  •  How I turn viewers into warm and hot leads in the DMs
  •  My system for tracking leads and following up 
  •  How I use stories to support high ticket sales
  •  The biggest mistake I see people making with Instagram Stories 

Your Instagram Stories are not just for “keeping up.”
 They are one of the most powerful tools you have to:

  •  Build trust 
  •  Start conversations 
  •  And close high ticket sales in your DMs

If you’re not using them intentionally… you’re leaving leads on the table.

If you’ve been trying to scale your business using Instagram stories, but you’re still the one handling all your DM sales, this episode is your reality check. ( I record this episode with love.)

$22,500 in Sales Without Sales Calls: BTS of My Sales Strategy | Ep 1401 Jul 202600:30:53

What if you stopped treating sales like a stressful obligation... and started treating it like a game?

This month, I played with my marketing instead of forcing it—and that mindset shift turned into $22,500 in sales, dozens of qualified leads, and a sales system that's working without relying on endless sales calls.

In this episode, I'm taking you completely behind the scenes of what actually worked in June—from Threads to Instagram Stories to DM sales—and exactly how we're creating more high ticket sales while having way more fun doing it.

If you've been wondering how to generate leads consistently, sell on Instagram Stories, and close clients inside your DMs, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Why putting less pressure on sales often leads to better results
  • The mindset shift that helped generate $22,500 in sales
  • How my Instagram Stories collaborations brought in over $9,000
  • Why cross-marketing is one of the most underrated lead generation strategies
  • The behind-the-scenes changes we made to our sales team
  • What I learned from launching Lead Gen Sprints (and why we changed the offer)
  • How we're using Threads to attract warm leads every single week
  • The exact path we're using: Threads → Instagram Stories → DM Sales
  • Why your Instagram Stories are doing more selling than you realize
  • How to create Instagram Stories people actually want to watch
  • My favorite places to find endless content ideas
  • The five-step DM sales flow we're using instead of traditional sales calls
  • Why having more fun is actually a legitimate sales strategy

Key Takeaways

✨ Sales matter—but they don't have to feel serious.

✨ People buy from people they're excited to work with. If you're having fun, your audience can feel it.

✨ Instagram Stories are one of the strongest trust-building tools you have before someone ever sends a DM.

✨ Most of my newest leads aren't coming from posting more—they're coming from engaging with other people on Threads.

✨ You don't need more content ideas. You need to stop overthinking the ones you already have.

✨ You don't have to rely on sales calls to close premium clients. The right DM process can absolutely convert high ticket sales.

Make the D*mn Instagram Stories: The Fastest Way to Hit Your Next Sales Goal | Ep 1324 Jun 202600:22:47

What if the thing standing between you and your summer sales goal isn't another strategy, another funnel, or another certification?

What if it's simply the thing you've been avoiding for months?

In this episode, I'm getting real about what I've seen after 11 years in sales and lead generation: why some people start making sales quickly while others stay stuck waiting, and the one simple activity that consistently speeds up sales results.

Spoiler alert: It's not sexy. It's not complicated. And yes, it's probably Instagram Stories.

If you've been wondering how long it actually takes to hit your sales goals, build momentum, and create predictable revenue, this episode will help you set realistic expectations while showing you exactly what to focus on right now.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • How long it realistically takes to hit your summer sales goals
  • Why existing leads dramatically shorten your sales timeline
  • The difference between businesses with lead pipelines and businesses starting from scratch
  • Why lead generation is only half of the sales equation
  • The biggest mistake business owners make when trying to increase revenue
  • How Instagram Stories directly impact lead generation and sales
  • Why consistency beats intensity every single time
  • The truth about trust-building and longer buying cycles
  • What to post on Instagram Stories when you have "nothing to say"
  • How to turn everyday client conversations into sales content

Instagram Story Ideas to Generate More Leads

If you're staring at your phone wondering what to post, start here:

✔ Questions people ask you in your DMs

✔ Frequently asked questions from potential clients

✔ Client success stories and transformations

✔ Common challenges your clients face before hiring you

✔ Why now is the right time to solve a specific problem

✔ Conversations from sales calls

✔ Wins, lessons, and behind-the-scenes moments from client work

The Hard Truth About Sales Growth

You can't control exactly when someone buys.

You can control:

  • How consistently you create sales content
  • How often you're generating leads
  • How many conversations you're starting
  • How frequently you're following up

The businesses making sales consistently aren't waiting for motivation.

They're showing up anyway.

Key Takeaway

If you want to speed up your sales results, stop overthinking and start posting.

Five minutes of Instagram Stories a day can create more leads, more conversations, and more opportunities than hours spent tweaking your website or obsessing over your offer.

The fastest path to your next sale may already be sitting in your phone.

Why Instagram Carousels are Your Secret Weapon for More Sales | Ep 414 Apr 202600:24:46

Today we’re getting into the real reason your content isn’t converting — and how to fix it with one thing: instagram carousel content that actually sells.

Because no, you don’t need more posts.

You need better ones that drive lead generation, instagram dm sales, and convert followers into clients.

What We Dive Into Today:

  •  Why most content fails to boost views and drive sales
  •  How instagram carousel strategy replaces your website (yes, really) 
  •  The mistake that’s blocking your high ticket sales
  •  How to make it stupid easy for people to pay you 
  •  The exact sales content that fuels instagram dm sales + lead generation

Timestamps (SEO Friendly):

  • 00:00 – Why your content isn’t converting into leads or sales 
  • 01:00 – “I don’t need social media” (and why that’s wrong) 
  • 03:00 – Why instagram carousel content drives more conversions than websites 
  • 05:00 – Stop making people hunt (this is killing your sales) 
  • 07:00 – The grocery store analogy (aka how to boost views + clarity) 
  • 10:00 – The sales content carousel strategy that converts followers into clients 
  • 13:00 – Offer carousel: how to drive high ticket sales 
  • 16:00 – FAQs + removing objections before the DM 
  • 17:30 – Client stories that actually sell 
  • 19:00 – Social proof + testimonials that boost conversions 
  • 20:00 – “When am I ready?” content for better leads 
  • 21:00 – Your client process (and why it matters for closing) 
  • 22:00 – About you (but make it strategic) 
  • 23:00 – Final thoughts: stop gatekeeping, start selling 


If people can’t quickly figure out how to pay you, they won’t.

Use instagram carousel content to make your offers clear, boost views, drive lead generation, and turn your audience into actual paying clients.

Now go make content that sells 💅

The 5-Step Instagram DM Sales Flow to $16K Clients | Ep 820 May 202600:28:46

Today I’m breaking down the exact 5-step Instagram DM sales flow I use to close $16K+ clients and no, it’s not my reels doing the heavy lifting.

  •  My exact 5-step DM sales process for high ticket sales

How I Closed $9K in the DMs Without Sales Calls ( Stop Wasting Time on Sales Calls! ) | Ep 713 May 202600:18:19

What if I told you I closed $9,000 in high ticket sales in five weeks… without a single sales call?

Today, I’m breaking down exactly why I got completely fed up with sales calls, how I pivoted my offer strategy, and the simple DM sales flow that helped me close six clients straight through Instagram DMs.

And honestly? I’m never looking at close sales calls the same way again.

Inside This Episode:

  • Why I stopped relying on sales calls for lower-ticket high ticket offers
  • The exhausting reality of doing 70 sales calls in six months
  • What finally made me say “absolutely not” to wasting more time
  • How I structured a $1,500 lead gen sprint that sold entirely in the DMs
  • The exact process I use to close high ticket sales without calls
  • Why Instagram stories and carousels became my highest-converting sales tools
  • The 5-step DM sales framework I use with clients
  • How to create sales content that actually moves people toward buying
  • Why asynchronous selling works so damn well for high ticket service providers
  • The truth about buyers who say they’re “ready to invest” but absolutely are not

My Simple DM Sales Process

Here’s the framework I use for DM sales:

  1. Build rapport
  2. Identify goals
  3. Understand where they’re stuck
  4. Ask for consent to offer
  5. Present the offer

Why You're Capped at 5 Clients (And Why More Leads Isn't the Answer to Scaling) | Ep 1921 Aug 202600:52:59

If you’re a small business owner or service provider who feels like you’re working your ass off, constantly booked out, and STILL somehow watching your revenue tank every 30–60 days… this episode is for you.

Because there’s a very real point in business where more clients stop being the answer.

You’re at capacity. You don’t have the cash flow to hire. You get busy delivering, your lead pipeline dries up, then you panic-market, get booked out again, and the whole damn cycle starts over.

Emylee Williams calls this “ceiling season” — and in this episode, we’re getting into how to break out of it without completely burning your business to the ground.

Emylee is a growth strategist for one-on-one service providers and the founder of Sold Out Services. She has spent 15+ years in the online business space helping service providers make more money, create more impact, and actually build businesses that are sustainable.

And today, we’re getting VERY nerdy about productizing your service, scaling your business, avoiding business burnout, creating better case studies, and building a business that can grow without everything depending on you.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

  • What “ceiling season” looks like for a service provider — and why you might be stuck in the cycle of being booked out → delivering → losing leads → panic marketing → getting booked out again
  • What it actually means to productize your offer and why it goes way beyond simply creating systems and SOPs
  • Why productization can be your first hire before you ever bring someone onto your team
  • How to redesign your offer, positioning, client experience, delivery, team structure, and founder role
  • Why adding more clients isn't always the solution to increasing revenue
  • The connection between an undefined offer and business burnout
  • Why service providers can start resenting their clients when boundaries, scope, and expectations aren't clear
  • Why creating a course, membership, or low-ticket offer isn't automatically the answer when you're burned out
  • The “one-to-medium” business model and the middle ground between bespoke one-on-one services and one-to-many
  • How Emylee went from replacing a six-figure salary with five clients to building a more scalable service-based business
  • Why you should stop changing your offer every five seconds and start making decisions based on data
  • How to beta test a new service before rolling it out to your entire client base
  • Why case studies are one of the most powerful tools for converting cold audiences
  • The difference between quantitative and qualitative case study data
  • How to actually measure the results your clients are getting
  • Why screenshots, client language, feedback, and real data can dramatically speed up the trust-building process
  • How to build a marketing strategy around your signature offer without trying to be everywhere
  • What Emylee teaches inside Sold Out Services to help service providers productize and scale

Taylor Elizabeth Lane — Mentioned in the conversation around using real screenshots and client proof to build stronger case studies and increase trust with your audience.

Breakdown of My Highest Sales Month EVER: $69K in Sales, $24.5K Cash | Ep 1813 Aug 202600:34:19

👉 Sign Up For My FREE Lead Tracker 

Today, I’m giving you the very real, very unfiltered behind-the-scenes breakdown of my biggest month ever: $69K in sales and $24,500 in cash collected in July.

And while yes, I’m breaking down the numbers, the high ticket sales, and exactly where my leads came from, this episode is about way more than hitting a big revenue goal.

Because once you start scaling, the question becomes:

Can you make the money, keep the money, and build a business that can actually handle the money?

I’m breaking down what happened behind the scenes during a wild three-month stretch of moving across the country, hiring, creating SOPs, growing my sales team, and figuring out how to scale without completely losing my mind.

And there was one HUGE plot twist…

Threads.

After 11 years of Instagram being my primary lead and sales source, I teamed up with Threads expert Taylor Lane for the Skip The Sales Call challenge—and it completely changed the game for me.

We generated 140 leads, and $22,500 of my $69K in July sales came directly from Threads.

But the real magic wasn't just Threads.

It was the entire journey:

Threads → Instagram Stories → Instagram DM sales → closing.

In this episode, I’m getting into:

  • How I generated $69K in sales and $24,500 in cash in one month
  • Where my July leads actually came from
  • Why Threads sales completely changed my lead generation strategy
  • How I used Threads to drive people into Instagram Stories and DM sales
  • Why Instagram is still one of my biggest sources of DM lead generation
  • How I closed 5 of 7 clients primarily through the DMs
  • When a sales call actually makes sense—and when it doesn't
  • Why having a sales system is about so much more than simply getting more leads
  • How my monthly recurring revenue grew from $8K to $18.5K
  • The difference between revenue, cash, and actual profit
  • Why my July profit margin was around 60%
  • What I learned from hiring and scaling my team
  • The mistakes I made while traveling, getting sick, and running a rapidly growing business
  • Why making more money isn't the only measure of business success
  • And why I care so much about the people behind the sale

My July Sales Breakdown

  • $69K in total sales
  • $24,500 in cash collected
  • $22,500 attributed directly to Threads
  • $24K attributed to Instagram
  • $18.5K monthly recurring revenue by July
  • Approximately $10K in business expenses
  • Approximately $15K in profit
  • 7 new clients signed in July
  • 7 people on my sales team

And the biggest takeaway?

I don't just need to know how to make money. I need to know how to scale, stabilize, and actually build a business that can support the money I'm making.

Want to Close More Sales?

If you want more strategies around high ticket sales, Instagram DM sales, Threads sales, DM lead generation, and how to close more sales without living on sales calls, come hang out with me on Instagram.

Send me a DM @alyssalmoorhead and tell me you came from Episode 18: Behind the Scenes of July so I know exactly where you found me.

Instagram DM Sales: 5 Steps to Turn Followers Into Paying Clients | Ep 1706 Aug 202600:33:18

👉 Sign Up For My FREE Lead Tracker 

If you have 100 Instagram followers, you have leads.

I said what I said.

If your Instagram stories and DMs aren't bringing you the sales you want, there's a pretty good chance you don't actually have a lead problem.

You have a conversation problem.

I've been in business for 11 years and have done pretty much every iteration of marketing and sales. And one of the biggest things I've learned is that people spend SO much time marketing themselves and then forget there's another step between "someone saw my content" and "someone paid me."

That step is lead generation and sales.

In this episode, I'm giving you a peek inside one of my private workshops where I break down my exact DM sales strategy for finding leads, starting conversations, nurturing them, and actually closing sales in the DMs.

And yes, this works for high ticket sales.

I've closed high-ticket and mid-ticket offers in the DMs without a sales call using this process.

We're talking about:

  • Where your "buried" leads are hiding on Instagram
  • Why your followers, story viewers, likes, and comments are already potential buyers
  • How to build a lead tracker so you're not losing money in your DMs
  • Why your content should actually help people make a buying decision
  • The type of Instagram Stories that help you sign clients faster
  • What you should have pinned on your Instagram profile
  • How to find people who are already warming up to you
  • My five-step Instagram DM sales process
  • How to build rapport without making the conversation feel salesy
  • How to figure out what someone actually wants
  • How to ask permission before making an offer
  • When to move the conversation to a sales call
  • Why following up is NOT optional

And here's the thing:

You do not need 10,000 followers to make sales.

You don't need to go viral.

You don't need to create more content just because you aren't getting inbound leads.

You probably have people already watching your stories, engaging with your content, following you, sitting in old DMs, or sitting in your inbox from a sales call you had three months ago.

They're just waiting for someone to open the door.

That's what this DM sales strategy is really about.

It's not about being pushy or sending 100 cold messages a day.

It's about starting actual conversations with people who could genuinely be a good fit for what you sell.

Because selling is helping.

And if someone needs what you offer, why wouldn't you tell them you can help?

So if you're ready to stop saying "I need more leads" every time your sales are slow, this episode is for you.

Go listen, grab the free lead tracker, and then go look at your damn DMs. There are probably leads in there.

Grab Alyssa's Free Lead Tracker

I've included Alyssa's free lead tracker in the show notes so you can start organizing your warm and hot leads instead of letting them disappear into the Instagram abyss.

Go through your:

  • Past proposals that didn't close
  • Old sales calls
  • DMs that went quiet
  • Story viewers
  • Followers
  • Likes and comments
  • New followers
  • People engaging with your content
  • Referrals and networking connections

Put them in the tracker. Know where they are. Know what you last talked about. Know what they want. And follow up.

Because you cannot make money from leads you forget exist.

Follow me on Instagram @alyssalmoorhead for daily, actionable sales tips, especially if you want to get better at Instagram DM sales, high ticket sales, and lead generation.

And if you're ready to actually start having sales conversations instead of just posting and hoping someone buys...

Go listen. 🍸

This Founder Made $130K in 15 Months Selling on Threads (Here's How) | Ep 1629 Jul 202601:04:18

Guys selling on Threads is the next best kept secret, and today I am going to share how you can land high ticket sales with a click of a Threads post. 

Today I'm sitting down with Taylor Lane, and we're pulling back the curtain on the exact strategy we've been teaching inside our Skip the Sales Call Challenge. We break down how we're using Threads, Instagram Stories, and DM sales to consistently attract leads, build trust, and close clients—without spending our calendars on Zoom.

After three weeks of testing this strategy with over 140 business owners, we wanted to share what actually worked, what surprised us most, and why we believe Threads is one of the biggest opportunities for business owners right now.

If you've been wondering how to turn your content into conversations—and those conversations into paying clients—this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

  • Why Threads sales are creating some of the highest-intent leads I've seen
  • How I use Instagram Stories to answer objections before someone ever DMs me
  • Why I stopped relying on endless discovery calls
  • The exact funnel we're using: Threads → Instagram Stories → DM Sales
  • The four types of Instagram Story content that consistently bring in buyers
  • How to create content that starts the conversations you actually want to have
  • Why your marketing should answer the same questions you'd normally answer on a sales call
  • How Taylor built a six-figure business by becoming known for one thing on Threads
  • The daily 30-minute sales routine we're both using
  • The real revenue results we've seen from this strategy

What We Talk About

One of the biggest mindset shifts I've had is realizing that my content should do the same job my sales calls used to do.

Instead of answering the same questions over and over on discovery calls, I create content that educates my audience before they ever reach my DMs. By the time someone messages me, they're already informed, qualified, and usually just have one or two final questions before they're ready to buy.

Taylor shares how she built a six-figure business through Threads by creating content that attracts the right people, builds community, and naturally leads them over to Instagram where the conversations—and sales—happen.

Together, we show you how to build a simple sales system that works without spending your life on Zoom.

I'm Closing $27K on Sales Calls... Here's Why I'd Still Choose DM Sales | Ep 15 08 Jul 202600:24:03

Ready for $9K in DM sales? Join my email list for no-fluff sales strategies, free resources, and exclusive trainings. 👉 Sign up HERE 

This week, I'm closing $27,000 in high ticket sales from sales calls...and I still prefer closing inside the DMs.

Yep. Both can work. But they're not interchangeable.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on when I choose sales calls, when I refuse them, why DM sales are still my favorite way to sell, and exactly what qualifies someone for each.

You'll also hear what it actually looks like behind the scenes when you're selling bigger retainers, larger proposals, multiple decision-makers, and high-level clients.

If you've been wondering whether you should focus on sales calls or DM sales to get more clients, this episode will help you decide.

Inside this episode:

  • Why I'm currently closing $27K in high ticket sales from sales calls—and why that isn't my default
  • The real reason I still prefer DM sales for most clients
  • When a sales call actually makes sense (and when it absolutely doesn't)
  • The differences between selling in the DMs versus on a call
  • The three qualifying questions I ask before I ever make an offer
  • Why voice notes are non-negotiable if you want to close more sales in the DMs
  • How my offer posts, FAQ posts, and client stories shorten the sales process and save hours every week
  • The deadline strategy that helps prospects make decisions without chasing them
  • What scaling into larger clients actually looks like behind the scenes
  • Where my best lead generation is coming from right now

My biggest takeaway:

You don't need to do business the way everyone else says you should.

Decide from the beginning whether your sales process is built around DM sales or sales calls, then create content that supports that process from start to finish. Your offer content should answer questions before prospects even ask them, making it easier to close more qualified leads and get more clients without spending all day selling.

Your action step:

Go make your Instagram Stories.

Start three DM conversations.

Practice asking:

  • What's your specific goal?
  • What's your timeline?
  • What's your budget?

Then guide them to your offer content instead of rewriting the same answers over and over.

Efficiency wins.
