????Too many COACHES & CONSULTANTS are AFRAID TO RAISE THEIR FEES and STOP taking clients who are not going to be the right people to work with. ????
Look, I get it!
I used to feel like I couldn't charge more and I needed to help everyone.
When I first started coaching, I was being taught how to attract clients who had very little or no money to pay me and were not ready for real help.
Though I made some money, I had a miserable business. ????
I was working with clients who were not coach-able and didn't see the value in what I could help them do.
OR
they didn't want to put in the work required to build their own success.
They somehow thought investing in my services was a magic bullet without any work.
I almost quit my business. ??
??????
I remember telling myself how ridiculous it was to work with people where I cared more about the success of their business than they did.
I was over it!
UNTIL
I decided to do something drastic to change the game.
??????I raised my fees by more than 10x or more, and I got clear on who I did and didn't want to work with.
I started qualifying prospects to see if WE were a fit to work together (not IF I could sign them up as a client.)
I started turning away the people who were not a fit and began attracting the people who were; people I knew I could help and who were truly ready for my help.
LOOK,
I have forty-one years of business experience (I was really under-valuing myself.)
I made many mistakes learning what I learned. I have lost money, invested money and have endured a lot of hard work and sacrifice (many times for little) and I can't count the sleepless nights and shed tears.
If I can help someone NOT have to endure the same things, there is HUGE value in that!
When I can get clients fast results (sometimes as little as 7-30 days), that is worth much more than the money they pay me, and I no longer feel bad about what I charge.
Besides, if I take on the wrong clients for low fees, it doesn't leave room for the best clients who will pay me well, value my expertise and appreciate what I can help them accomplish.
??How about you? Are you tired and frustrated with your business, your money, and the clients you get?
Would you like to LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS, YOUR CLIENTS and YOUR INCOME in 45-60 days? ????????????
There are three things you need to do this.
- Raise your fees! This is the fastest way to increase your income. If you don't feel like you can, you may have a problem with your mindset, your target audience or your offer.
- Level Up your offer. A better offer that gives people higher value results will allow you to make more money. How can you solve a bigger problem? If you solve a little problem, you will have to charge little fees. If you solve a big problem, you can charge big fees.
- Track and measure all of your marketing, calls and sales conversion activity and iterate consistently to improve your results. Building a business is both strategic and scientific. If you have no records of what you are doing, you are just spraying and praying.
I hope this is helpful.
