How to Stop Feeling Guilty About Discussing Your Offer at Networking Events

I was recently speaking with a person who spent a lot of time at networking events, but sometimes struggled to connect with people because he felt bad about talking about his offer. Guilt around sales is an obstacle many entrepreneurs, including coaches, struggle with. Even if we know, on an intellectual level, that our offer is good, so many of us have been conditioned to feel like we're doing something rude or morally wrong by offering our service and asking to be paid. This can hold us back from starting conversations, and even if... Read More

A Tale of Two Coaches: Why One Got High Engagement, While The Other Got Dead Air

A few years ago, I was working with several different coaches. Two of them in particular stuck in my mind, because of the striking difference in the level of engagement they had in their group coaching calls. One of them – I’ll call him Coach J – spent the entire call talking with his students, answering their questions, learning about their situations, and helping them move closer to their goals. The other – I’ll call him Coach B – asked questions, and was often met with silence. Both of these coaches had good advice... Read More

Should You Share Your Ugly Past With Your Potential Clients?

If you host webinars, give live presentations, have an "About Me" page on your site, or otherwise share your story with your audience, I have a question for you: Do you share your raw, real story, warts and all? Or do you present a pretty, polished version for fear of making people uncomfortable or making yourself look bad? A few years ago, I met a business owner who faced that conundrum. She'd been abused, had lived on the streets, and had struggled to support herself. Since then, she'd become a six-figure business owner, and she... Read More

6 Questions to Help You Create a Bio that Gets Clients

Have you ever read an "About Me" page that looked and felt like an entry in an encyclopedia, or listened to a webinar presenter share a backstory that made you wonder why they were telling you all of this? Now, here's a better question: did you read or listen to the whole thing, or did you get bored and click away from the page partway through? Some bios inspire their audiences to contact you, or encourage them to buy your services. Others attempt to show the company's or presenter's credibility, but are too dry or irrelevant to get...

When The Coaching Call Presenter is Missing, Don't Miss Your Opportunity to Get Clients

Have you even been on a group coaching call, waiting for the presenter to show up... and waiting... and waiting... and eventually realized that they weren't going to come? Even big and successful companies have the occasional mix-up with their coaching calls. Their presenter is on vacation and they forget to cancel the call, or something comes up at the last minute, or they have some kind of technical difficulties that prevent the presenter from accessing the call.

A Valuable Sales Lesson From a Stray Cat

A few years ago, while I was on vacation, I received a very usefulsales lesson from a stray cat. I was sitting in the condo, enjoying some late-evening relaxation, when I heard meowing nearby. I got up and, to my surprise, I found a cat I'd never seen before sitting by the sliding glass door, calling for my attention. I opened the door, and thetiny animal stared up at me with a look of absolute expectancy on its face. I tried to pet it and it let me, then it continued to coax me for food. It was obvious that, in this cat's mind, providing... Read More
