You know, like you've talked about this before. I'm like, girl, I have talked about this thousands of times before in lots of different rooms, virtually and in person from stage to thousands. And also in my book and also on this podcast, it is a problem that is. Chronic, and that is why I keep bringing it up.
The reason that you're hearing this content here is because this is what I'm hearing when I speak to people in my community or I get responses on my email list. So it's, you're hearing something again, that might be your sign to just come into one of my programs and start to move forward with me because.
[:There's knowledge and then there's, there's taking on the actions that the knowledge has given you. I know I should not eat pizza past 7:30 PM any night of the week. But yet, sometimes I still do and then I hate myself the next day because my stomach hurts. Right? So I know this and I have done it, and I know the consequences, and yet I still do it.
s. This chronic problem of I [:All the communication has always been, maybe they were a coach of yours or maybe they were a colleague of yours at a former job that you had. And so the, the environment is totally new. You haven't talked to them in a while. You're not sure how to reenter the conversation. You don't wanna be salesy. I get it.
I get it. That's exactly what I do. I help people with those exact feelings, move through it with grace and kindness and clarity. So here's, let's break it down. Step one, compliment them. This is the easy part. You're good at this already. I already know you are. You could say something like, Hey, I saw your recent YouTube video.
d I, I meant it like I'm not [:It's important to hear it. And so step two, I said this on Monday, this might not be a word anymore, but un googleable. Ask an un Googleable question. Who here is listening? Remembers that when we would make up words. This was in like my, my like my high school years. I'm gonna make up this word. I'm gonna submit it to Webster's.
So a question like this, how did you land that guest spot? Right? I've been thinking about doing some outreach myself, and so something to that effect. Why does this work? Because it's sincere, because it's specific and it starts a conversation, not. A pitch. And that's what I want you to feel confident around, because here's what usually happens.
you chat, you build rapport, [:In fact. It's irrelevant at this point 'cause you're just talking to one person. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you would be satisfied with one or two new client projects per month, consistently coming in on a regular basis that you can forecast your time and your revenue, then you don't need that stuff.
ave because that's not their [:That's not the business they're trying to create. So you really have to think about and reflect on what type of business do I want to have. And when I first came into the online space, that was one of the biggest questions that my coach asked me. And I've always said, I just wanna make, you know, quarter mil, you know, half a mil.
It's all good. And that's what I've been doing. Ever since the beginning and the more automations I got and the bigger my email has got, and the bigger my audience got, sometimes I human lose track. I would lose sight of what was important and what actually worked when you're just having genuine conversations with people.
ed more of this. I need more [:Now again, if you do want a scalable multimillion dollar business, guess what also will help you vet all those bad ideas fast. This, this process. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from one of my good friends who's a amazing ads manager, she says, you never wanna amplify what's not working and ads only amplify or scaling only amplifies what's not working.
And if, if you've got more things that aren't working than are, then you're probably in for a hurt locker. And I don't want that for you, so I just want you to feel that confidence. If you're listening to this right now and you're thinking, I just need, you know, one or two new client projects every month consistently, they pay me, well then you're in the right place.
If you look [:I say really honestly, 20, because a lot of them are in for longer term projects with you or bigger projects that you might just not have offered them because you didn't know if it was the right time. And that's another big part of the sales process is offering continued support. Again, why am I talking about this?
Because it is a problem that people come to me with. Consistently, and I don't want you to trip up on it again. You are building rapport, you are asking them questions, and then you're building a bridge because you're not necessarily trying to, you know, whip out an offer that's been, oh, it's on a phenomenal funnel.
at the name of this. That's [:Have a great weekend.
