Hey! Really quick – next week, I’m hosting a LIVE training about how to getting B2B consulting clients, even if selling is your weakness. There are two dates to choose from – scroll to the end to choose your session and reserve your spot. See you there!
—
I noticed something this week.
When I get on calls now — with students, clients, team members — we start out by asking, “How are you?”…
And there are two phases of answers. There’s the First Answer we’re all accustomed to: “I’m fine.”
And then there’s a pause and the Second Answer. And that’s the honest one.
Back when all of this started, there was a collective sense of, “Hey, this is new and different and maybe a little bit exciting!” The tools we’ve been using for ages — Zoom, Slack, and so on — were suddenly mainstream. It was… new, and almost fun? maybe? … for a few days.
Adrenaline got us through the first couple of weeks or so.
You probably sprang into action, offering to help your existing clients. You took on a lot — because that’s how you do business. You pulled a few late nights, worked until you felt that pain in your shoulder, and figured you’d get back to your regular routine in a couple of weeks.
Except…
It’s been a month, even longer for many of us. Everyone’s roots have grown out (mine included). And we have no idea how much longer “this” will all go on.
We can’t keep running on adrenaline indefinitely.
But here’s what we can do: We can be honest.
We can answer the “how we’re doing” question with how we’re REALLY feeling, because “Fine” is a lie.
But more importantly, we can face our businesses and see what’s REALLY going on – because when you do that, you can see where to focus, and exactly what you need to do.
And oftentimes it’s not as daunting as you think, because you can actually make a plan.
Maybe your pipeline looks a little bare? We can get on that now.
Maybe clients are feeling a crunch? Figure out what is actually in your power to help with that and make a plan.
Maybe cash flow is looking scary in another month or so? Ok. How many clients do you need to sign to get back on track?
Maybe you haven’t signed a new client recently…and if you’re like a lot of women I talk to, maybe that’s because you haven’t even tried, completely convinced there’s no business or budgets out there right now…
Or maybe you were ALREADY squeamish about selling your services and expertise before…and now that just feels impossible…
I want to show you that you absolutely CAN land clients right now. We have students that are doing it every day (yes, even in the last couple of weeks!).
So here’s what I can do to help:
Next week, I’m hosting a LIVE free training on How To Land Consulting Clients… Even If Selling Is Your Weakness. There are two dates to choose from, Tuesday, April 28th or Thursday, April 30th, so you can choose a time that works with your schedule.
I’ll teach you the proven system in a no-fluff training that you can take and start using RIGHT AWAY.
Here’s a closer look at what you’ll learn:
The proven, step-by-step system to get the consulting clients you really want (in a way that doesn’t even feel like selling!)
The three things that are actually making it harder for clients to say yes to you (and that you can stop doing right now!).
Why you never have to pitch, cold call, or lower your prices …and what to do instead
Plus, if when you attend live, I’ll be there to answer your questions, AND you’ll get a bonus: my 10 Ways To Follow Up With Prospects (That Don’t Feel Like You’re Being Annoying!) guide… but that’s only available to those who come to one of the live workshops!
If you’re ready to stop hiding from how you REALLY feel right now, what’s REALLY going on in your business, and the ACTUAL steps you can take to feel more stable and secure, this workshop will be immensely valuable.
Here’s the info and the links to register.
