When we take any marketing or sales action towards getting a new consulting client, we all have that little voice that pops up.
It tells us that we shouldn't, or we can't, or who are we to think...??
In our world, we lovingly call this little voice "head trash," and it's the silent confidence killer that can make you play small in your consulting business.
In this episode, listen in as we explore the head trash that comes up in selling, and how to overcome it.
You’ll hear from one of my clients who’s facing something seemingly small, but her head trash makes her feel like it’s huge, and it’s zapping her confidence.
(Want to know what it is? You’ll have to listen to the episode!)

Hi! I'm Leah Neaderthal. I'm a sales coach for women consultants and the founder of Smart Gets Paid.
When I left my corporate career and started my first consulting business, I learned three things very quickly:
1- It’s 1000x harder to sell your own stuff than to sell someone else’s.
2- Marketing is not selling.
3- I had no idea how to sell.
I needed clients, but I didn’t know how to actually get them, and I was terrified of coming off like a used car salesman. It made me doubt whether I was even cut out to run a business.
So I taught myself how to get new clients in a way that feels authentic, allows me to be myself, and that works consistently. I now teach these techniques to others. Because I know it’s possible to learn how to land clients, and actually feel comfortable doing it, once you know how.

P.S. Whenever you’re ready to start landing higher-paying clients, here are three ways I can help you.
1. Listen to the Smart Gets Paid Podcast
You’ll hear me chat with my actual clients as we tackle their biggest challenges in getting new clients, and you’ll learn sales strategies you can use today in your own business. It's the only podcast that can help you land higher-paying clients in your B2B consulting business. Listen on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.
2.? Get your copy of Referrals on Repeat
If you’ve gotten clients through referrals, and you want to get them intentionally instead of waiting around for referrals to happen, grab our 5-step system to help you fill your pipeline with referrals consistently. Get your copy of Referrals on Repeat today: smartgetspaid.com/referrals.?
3. Learn a proven system and implement it in a community of like-minded women running real consulting businesses.?
You've gotten this far without a sales strategy... imagine what would happen if you had one. Learn the proven, step-by-step system women like you are using to get more of the clients they want and get paid for their value, not their time. And get help from me and my team every step of the way. Send me a message with "Clients" in the first line and I’ll get you the details.
