WHAT IS THE REAL™ METHOD?

REAL™ Method charting four steps in colorful, rounded boxes: 1) Radiate on-air presence, 2) Engage with authenticity, 3) Align products with story-telling, 4) Lift buying barriers.

It’s a proven method that doesn’t rely on gimmicks, pushy sales tactics, or viral dances. Instead, it’s about real connection: building trust with your audience so they stay longer, click more, and say “yes” faster.

Radiate: Be The Presenter They Can't Scroll Past

Your energy matters. When you go Live, your job isn’t just to present, it’s to perform. But don’t worry, we’re not talking about acting or being fake.

Radiating on-air presence means showing up as your best, most confident self. It’s how you hold yourself on camera, how you speak to your audience, and how you command attention with subtle authority.

With coaching, you can learn how to use voice, body language and eye contact to instantly build trust. The result? Higher enter room rates (ERR%) and longer view durations (AVD).

Engage: Build Real Relationships in Real Time

TikTok Live is different from traditional selling, because it’s not a script; it’s a conversation.

Engagement doesn’t mean shouting out usernames every 5 seconds, instead, it means making your audience feel seen. Asking real questions. Responding to comments like a friend, not a host.

Authenticity drives conversions. When people feel a connection, they’re more likely to click, ask questions, and buy. That’s why we coach creators to use authentic engagement tactics that match their natural tone and style.

Align: Tell Stories That Sell

People don’t buy products. They buy stories.

When you align your product with your audience’s life, and explain how it helps them, delights them or solves a problem, you give them a reason to buy now, not later.

This part of the REAL™ Method is all about learning how to:

  • Stack your offer without sounding salesy

  • Introduce urgency without pressure

  • Share stories that click with your viewers

It’s the difference between “This is a great serum” and “This has helped me clear my skin in time for my wedding.”

Lift: Remove the Barriers to Buying

Sometimes, people love the product… but don’t buy.

They’re confused about delivery. They’re unsure about sizing. They didn’t realise there’s a code to use.

Your job as a TikTok Presenter is to anticipate and remove those barriers.

In our coaching, we teach practical, proven ways to boost your Click Through Rate (CTR) and reduce cart abandonment without sounding pushy. It’s all about clear messaging, calm confidence, and customer clarity.

It’s trusted, tested, and most importantly, kind. It’s built for creators like you who care about their audience as much as their sales. That’s why we created the Live Sell Academy.
