It’s hard to believe I’m approaching the ten-year anniversary since starting my business! As I look back on this past decade and the lessons it’s taught me, one of the things that stands out in my mind is the number of coaching and training programs I’ve gotten into, and the things that motivated me to sign up for them. Today, I’d like to share a few of those things, because what motivated me to buy those programs might be what motivates your own potential clients to sign up for your offer. I’ll also share a mistake I... Read More

When you’re discussing your offer with a potential client, it’s important to remember that it isn’t just your product or program they’re evaluating. They also need to think about how it fits with the rest of their life, and whether they have the time and desire to implement it. All too often, people buy coaching or training programs, only to fail to set aside the time to actually USE those programs to get results. I've been guilty of that a few times myself, and it's certainly made me more selective about what I... Read More

Today, I’d like to talk about a mistake some coaches make while creating their offers. This one error can create a load of extra work for you, and can actually scare your clients off of buying your product. That mistake is: overcomplicating things . This is an especially easy trap to fall into if you aren’t confident in your value and the value of your teaching. If you aren’t sure that your coaching is good enough, you might find yourself padding your offer with bonus after bonus (without doing it strategically!) or adding... Read More

Happy New Year! I hope you're having an amazing start to 2022. As you create, flesh out, or implement your plans for the coming year, one important thing to consider is how you're going to handle situations where your clients are shopping around, or where they've been burned before and they aren't sure how they can tell that you're the real deal. Some people try to steer potential clients away from other coaches in their field by harping on their competitors' bad points, or by trying to claim that they're the only ones getting real...

"Will selling smaller products help me sell high-ticket offers?" I recently saw this question in a LinkedIn group, and it sparked an interesting discussion about the pros and cons of the strategy. Will the low-ticket item only attract bargain hunters who don't want a high-ticket program? Or will it attract qualified leads who just need a taste of your expertise before they commit to a big purchase? Will buying the lower-priced offer make people more likely to buy your high-ticket package, or will people who buy the smaller item... Read More

I recently had a great interview with Ely Delaney, the man who could get hit by a bus today and still be selling his products three years from now. In this interiew, he reveals how he saved himself countless hours on follow-ups and client service, broke the cycle of feast and famine, and got his clients better results in the process!

In any given week, how many hours do you spend on sales calls? And if those sales calls are successful, how many additional hours do you spend giving the same teaching points over and over, to one client at a time? When you add all those hours up, it can get to the point where there isn't much time left for the other important things in your business and life, like seeking new leads, keeping up with administrative tasks, finding ways to grow and improve your business, spending time with your loved ones, and enjoying your favorite hobbies. ...

What should I charge for my coaching program? This is a question that often comes up when people are creating a new program, or rethinking the price of an existing one. In this video, I'll give you some specific, practical guidelines you can use to decide the price of your program, so you can ensure that the price is fair to both you and your clients. Are you rethinking the price of your group program, or creating a new program right now? If so, did this video help you choose your price, or are there still some... Read More

When you make promises in your marketing, or talk about the problems you solve for your clients, it's important to be both clear and compelling. If your promises or "problem I solve" statements are too vague, your potential clients will be left thinking things like... "That kind of sounds good in theory, but I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to get out of this, and I don't feel like taking a lot of time to find out." "I don't think I have the problem she's talking about. Or maybe I do a little, but I don't think it's causing... Read More

If you've been in business for any length of time, you've probably had this happen to you at least once: You were talking to a client who sounded like a great fit, and you both realized that this person needed your product. You directed them to your sales page, invited them to book a call, or otherwise encouraged them to take the next step... only for them to respond with the words some businesspeople have come to dread: "I'll think about it." If you've heard this more than a couple times, it probably makes your heart sink, because... Read More
