If I had a $ every time a client told me, "I'm not sale-sy" or "I'm just not good at selling..." I'd buy into the DryBar franchise and get blowouts fa life.    This type of fear is a really selfish fear because your focus is on yourself. I'm not trying to get on my high-horse here (okay, maybe I am) but seriously, hear me out.    If you were to be the FIRST eye-witness of a car accident and no one else was around but someone was stuck in their vehicle and needed help getting out of the car, what would you do?    You wouldn't hesitate ONE second. You'd jump into action. You'd be SO focused on helping that person. You'd simply ACT.    You wouldn't be questioning, "Am I qualified?" "Am I strong enough?" "How am I going to look," "Am I helpful enough" "Do I have enough time?"    You wouldn't be focused on you.    And sure, this is a bit of a dramatic example but you can clearly see that if your focus is truly on SERVICE, you're not concerned with yourself.    That's the vibe I want you to feel when it comes to offering what you have to share --your book, your ideas, your podcast, your business, your brand, your resume--anything.   Remember, my little formula:   Selling = Offering  Offering = Kindness  PS - my free class How to Create Your Dream Business Online in 1 Day (without feeling overwhelmed) is offered not 1, not 2, but 3 different days/times. I'm dying to share the 3-step framework that I've used to build my business to 6-figures. https://lnkd.in/gZYeDssN

4 things nobody tells you about how to get high-ticket clients on LinkedIn: "Just post" is the worst LinkedIn advice ever. If you want to attract high-ticket clients, focus on these 4 things: 1) Shameless self-promotion (with proof) - Share your successes and case studies - Highlight client results and testimonials - Demonstrate your expertise through content 2) Consistent value creation - Publish high-quality, actionable content daily - Solve real problems your ideal clients face - Educate and inform, don't just sell 3) Strategic networking - Engage with industry leaders' content - Build relationships with potential clients - Collaborate with complementary professionals 4) Positioning as the go-to expert - Narrow your niche and own it - Develop a unique voice and perspective - Speak at events and guest on podcasts The hidden pitfall? Most people shy away from self-promotion, fearing it'll turn others off. But here's the truth: High-ticket clients are actively looking for the best. By consistently showcasing your work and expertise, you're not bragging – you're helping them find you. Remember: If you don't toot your own horn, no one else will. Want real client attraction? Put in real effort to stand out. Masterclass over. 🎤 P.S. What's holding you back from showcasing your expertise? Let me know in the comments 👇

Not getting enough clients? The good news is that you DO NOT have to do or have ANY of the following things below: (saving you a TON of money and lost time) • Create a coaching program • A new sales funnel • Paid ads • A website • An instagram feed • A course portal • An online course • A podcast • A masterclass • Yet another certification or course • A mission statement • A rebranding • A bigger following • To become more confident • To visualize harder • Repeat affirmations What you DO need is to answer this: 1. What specific problem am I solving that people are actually willing to pay for? 2. For who specifically? 3. Where can I find them and talk to them? 4. What will I charge to help them solve their problem? Then go to them and talk about your offer until you sell for at least 10K CHF/100K SEK before doing anything else from the above list Selling being as simple as answering the question "What do you do?" with enthusiasm. If you don't sell enough, tweak point 1-4 until you do (don't fall into the trap of the wantrepreneur with the list above before you have proof of concept) You can do this I believe in you It doesn't have to take years to become profitable Freedom is so much closer than you think!

Referral marketing is the agency owner's secret weapon. 🤫 It's not just about snagging new clients; it's about building trust and credibility. People are more likely to choose your agency if a trusted friend or colleague recommends you. 🤝 But, it's not just about asking for referrals. It's about nurturing relationships, delivering exceptional results, and creating an experience worth sharing. On the latest Digital Agency Growth Podcast, Josh Ledgard from KickoffLabs dives into how to harness that power for your business. We discuss: • Leveraging referral marketing to stand out in a competitive landscape. • Building trust and credibility in a "trust recession." • Different types of referral programs and how to choose the right one for your business. • The importance of personalized communication in building authentic relationships.

Most people rely only on inbound lead to make $$$ But that’s a gamble. You’re putting all your eggs in one basket. And you don’t do that in business. Especially not on LinkedIn. Why? Inbound leads rely on luck. Strategic Outbound leads give you control. Why use both? Reach: Use both passive & active leads. Boost Reliability: Ensure a steady pipeline. Amplify Growth: Achieve consistent results. But here’s the truth: These things also generate leads: Engagement: Write impactful comments. Visibility: Join events, webinars & podcasts. Relationships: Connect meaningfully via Dms. Don’t gamble with your growth. Inbound + outbound = create a winning strategy P.S. How do you generate most of your leads? Inbound or Outbound? - - Message me with the word "Strategy" if you're ready to transform your personal brand or business.

Need more clients? The solution is simpler than you think! I just returned from a 5-day Media Firestorm event in Cancun and there was ONE theme that trumped them all. ONE solution to getting more clients that we are all either avoiding altogether or falling short on. If you want more clients. If you want to serve more people with your products and services there is one simple thing you should be doing every day to grow your business: Make offers so that people can choose to work with you! It's such a no-brainer -- right? No one can buy anything from you if you don't let them know you have something that can help them! Make offers. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! Communication creates connection. Connection creates cashflow. Communicating with your audience, your prospective clients, at least daily is the way to build relationship and make making invitations for them to come play in your world is just a way to draw them closer. So, what qualifies as an offer? "I'm hosting a webinar -- wanna come along and learn some cool stuff that could help you with "X" challenge? "If you need help with X, I've got a book/pdf/ecourse/masterclass that could help!" "I'm launching a new cohort where we are going to create X result... if you want that result for yourself, let's talk!" If email just isn't your thing, use another vehicle! Here are just a few suggestions: Send a text Call a prospect Do a Live Connect on social media (DM) Send a Loom or a link to a Video Don't limit your thinking to be that the only thing you are doing is pushing out invitations to your entire list. You can make invitations one-on-one (I made several of those during the Media Firestorm Retreat: "Hey, you mentioned you really need a cash infusion. Let's talk about my 50 days to $50K process"). You can email people you are currently working with an "upgrade" offer. Or, send a special "we want you back" offer to your previous buyers. Or, make a FB post in a group: "Who is networking to grow their business? I want to interview you for Season 5 of the Business by Referral podcast". (I got 15 responses to that!) At the end of the day, if you aren't letting people know how they can come play in your world, you'll be helping far fewer people than you are actually destined to support! If you are networking and aren't making the money that you need to live the lifestyle you want, and the idea of selling $50K in 50 days is appealing to you, I'd like to run something by you.

I was talking with a business buddy the other day about all the things on her massive to-do list. My advice: start at the end. Make a container before you begin marketing your business. Here’s what I mean. Posting on social media is cool. That will get attention. But what’s next for those new fans and followers? Before you start a strategic outreach plan like social media content or event podcast interviews, make sure the space is set up to receive your new fans and followers. We start by creating the lead magnet to build the email list. Then we write an email nurture sequence to keep the new subscribers engaged. (An effective nurture sequence includes a welcome email, testimonial, a high-value email, and an invitation to work with you.) This is her new to-do list: Step 1: create a lead magnet. Step 2: nurture subscribers with an email sequence that delivers value and invites them to take the next step. Step 3: start posting on social media. It’s a lot of work but now she has clarity about what to do next. What’s your next goal and are you set up to achieve it?

🌟 The Marketing Power Of Generosity! 🌟 Today, I had two fascinating and unusual consultations! 🚀 One with a construction company interested in hiring me as a Virtual Marketing Director, and the other with a niche financial planner who needs help optimizing the impact of a high-profile podcast interview. She's looking for an Online Business Manager. What makes this of interest to you is how they found me. It wasn't through my usual marketing funnel of social media content, to website visit, to guide download to email follow up to consultation. Instead, both came from word-of-mouth recommendations from two different friends I’d recently helped—just out of a genuine desire to support, with no expectation of anything in return. Of course, these business owners still did their due diligence: they checked out my website, downloaded my resources to see if I knew my stuff, and combed through my social media to make sure I walk the talk. Which just shows the importance of getting all your online ducks in a row AND keeping them updated even if you get your business by referrals. But it all started with a simple act of generosity. 🤔 It’s a great reminder that helping others can create ripple effects we don’t always anticipate. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from authentic connections. Those don't even need to be immediate, a good deed lives on in our memories. Have you experienced this in your business or life? How has giving freely come back to you in unexpected ways? Do you keep your online assets up to date, just in case? @followers #wordofmouth #reciprocity #helpingout Photo by Wonderlane on Unsplash

𝗧𝗵𝗲 #1 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀? It’s not “rapport”... it’s not more information about your service… It’s not the perfect “pitch”... 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁—the unshakeable kind that makes your prospect feel like they’re in good hands before you even get on the call. On our latest episode of the 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁, Brook and I break down the 𝟯 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 of building trust with your prospect: 1️⃣ 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 – Your marketing has to match your sales. Consistency is key. If your ads, content, or messaging feel disconnected from what happens on the call, trust is gone before you even start. 2️⃣ 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 – Rapport isn’t about “bro talk” or filler conversations. It’s about asking deep, meaningful questions that show you truly understand their challenges. Dig deeper than surface-level answers, and you’ll create a connection that lasts. 3️⃣ 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 – Trust doesn’t end when the call ends. Follow up with intentionality. Offer something of value, follow through on what you promised, and keep the conversation going—even if they’re not ready to buy right now. This approach builds what we call 𝗳𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁—acting in your prospect’s best interest at every stage of the customer journey. Here’s the thing: 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼. If you want to move your prospect from interested to invested…the foundation is trust, built brick by brick. Honestly, this is one of our best episodes on sales to date.
