For ADHD entrepreneurs, selling isn’t just about strategy….it’s about energy, motivation, and sustainability. You know your offer is amazing, so why does selling it feel overwhelming, exhausting, or downright impossible?

In Episode 162 of the ADHD CEO Podcast, we tackled the hidden sales struggles that ADHD entrepreneurs face and, more importantly, how to create a dopamine-friendly sales system that actually works for your brain.

If you’ve ever:
✅ Overthought a sales post until you scrapped it
✅ Ghosted your business after a launch because you were drained
✅ Avoided DMs out of fear of rejection or overwhelm

Then keep reading, because we’re about to flip the script on ADHD sales strategies.

Why Traditional Sales Strategies Don’t Work for ADHD Brains

Most sales strategies are built for neurotypicals—they rely on:
❌ Structure
❌ Repetition
❌ Self-discipline

These are three things that don’t come naturally to ADHD entrepreneurs.

🔹 Following up consistently? Your brain forgets 10 minutes after reading a DM.
🔹 Posting daily? Some days you’re hyperfocused and everywhere, other days you disappear.
🔹 Sticking to a rigid launch plan? You’re bored two weeks in and want to pivot.

As Alyece Smith says in Episode 162,

“Most ADHD entrepreneurs don’t struggle with selling. We struggle with sustaining the sales process. Our brains crave novelty, so doing the same strategy over and over feels like torture.”

Instead of forcing yourself into a rigid structure that wasn’t made for you, it’s time to build a system that works with your ADHD brain…not against it.

Because I couldn't stick to a perfect plan or structure. But the problem wasn’t me—it was the way I was trying to sell.” – Alyece Smith, The ADHD CEO Podcast

If you’ve ever experienced:
❌ Forgetting to follow up with leads 10 minutes after reading a DM
❌ Feeling bored with your own launch plan halfway through
❌ Hyperfocusing on sales for a week, then disappearing for a month
❌ Overthinking every single post, email, or offer

You’re not failing at sales…you’re just using a strategy that wasn’t designed for your ADHD brain.

Traditional sales methods rely on structure, repetition, and self-discipline—things that don’t come naturally to ADHD entrepreneurs.

The good news? Sales doesn’t have to be this hard. You don’t need more discipline. You need a system that keeps working—even when you need a break.

🚀 The ADHD Sales System That Makes Selling Effortless

“ADHD entrepreneurs don’t struggle with selling. We struggle with sustaining the sales process.” – Alyece Smith

Here’s how to ditch the pressure of traditional sales and build a system that actually works for your brain.

Step 1: Pre-Sell in Your Content

Instead of waiting for people to DM you first, seed the sale in your content.

📌 Example: “ADHD sales strategies that don’t require consistency? That’s exactly what I teach inside my mentorship.”

This way, your audience already knows what you offer before they even reach out.

Step 2: Use a "Lazy Follow-Up" System

ADHD brains struggle with remembering follow-ups, so automate them instead.

✅ Use pre-written DM templates to remove decision fatigue.
✅ Set up an automated follow-up sequence so no lead slips through the cracks.

📌 Example DM Template:
"Hey [Name], just thought of you today! Let me know if you have any questions about [offer]. No pressure—just here to help!"

Even if you forget, your system keeps working for you.

Step 3: Have a Low-Effort CTA (Call to Action)

The easier it is to buy from you, the more people say YES.

📌 Examples:
✔ “DM me ‘MOMENTUM’ and I’ll send you the details.”
✔ “Click the link in my bio for instant access.”
✔ “Want the exact system I use? Let’s chat.”

When you remove the pressure of traditional selling, you create a system that keeps converting…even when you’re not actively selling.
