Why we don't care about typos

An email I got last week…

A pathological people pleaser’s worst nightmare.

Had I received this in 2013, I would have never sent another email ever again. 

Good news is it’s not 2013. So instead, I laughed and thought, “I cannot wait to tell the girls about THIS!!!”

(It’s you, you all are the girls.)

One thing I need you to remember:

When someone unfollows….

When someone unsubscribes….

When someone comments “are those your grandma’s jeans?”…

Literally GOOOOOOOOD.

The girlie who unsubscribed for the typo is an angel, AND she’s not our ideal client. 

If a fat-thumbed typo sent her over the edge she would haaaaate to get up in here. She would hate the book that we wrote in 2 weeks without a publisher. And she would hate that we don’t care when we make a spelling error in an email. 

The last thing we want is someone who doesn’t align on core beliefs. You don’t want it either because if they don’t win, you don’t win.

See, The Salesgirls stand by the ideas that done is better than perfect and B- work can make you billions.

We believe in our bones that when your message is important, it’s your obligation to get it out into the world. 

If you say jt instead of it - slay, queen. I know you probably typed that caption with a baby on your lap.

That’s how we work. 

I’m inspired by the unsubscriber’s ability to stand by her convictions. I’m glad our convictions are different. It takes all of us.

There is someone out there who cares soooooo deeply about grammar. I hope they find each other, I really do!

You know how they say, “if you talk to everyone, you talk to no one”? Let’s go as far as to say that if you repel no one, you attract no one.

I made that up but where is the lie?

Stand for your beliefs - whatever they are.

Keep going to market with your message - if it could help one person, it’s your obligation.

Everyone loving you is not your responsibility. Also might be a red flag if they do. 👀

Bless and release, baby.

Also, the “are those your grandma’s jeans” comment is a true story. 

I love the internet.

Xo, The Salesgirls

KRISTIN JUSZCZYK

Clothing designer and wife of San Francisco 49ers football player

Taylor Swift pulled up to the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game on Saturday night in the coolest, custom jacket anyone had ever seen.

It got cooler once footage of Taylor entering the stadium hit social media and we got the full story.

Kristin Juszczyk was the designer of the hand-altered Nike coat and sources say that she was already commissioned to do another jacket for a Chiefs wife, and decided to make one for Taylor to send with it… just to see if she might consider wearing it.

The rest is history.

People are now petitioning for Kristin to have a partnership with the NFL to create her show-stopping women’s clothing items to scale.

All because she saw an opportunity and went for it.
