Leah Neaderthal
I help women consultants break through to the next revenue level in their business
Hi! You’re here because you’re a woman who runs an independent consulting business, and you want to learn how to make it more profitable. In our world, that means doing more of the work you love, with the clients you enjoy, and getting paid for your value, not your time.
Here, you'll discover effective strategies to implement in your consulting business, as well as hear inspiring stories from other smart and successful women who are also running their own consulting businesses. Along the way, you’ll learn that you can build the consulting business you want, that lets you live the life you want, and you’re not alone.?
I'm glad you're here! Let's dive in.

Consultants, have you ever considered quitting your consulting business for a full-time job??
(It’s OK to admit it!)
If the answer is yes, you’re definitely not alone. In fact, that’s exactly what my client in the latest episode of the Smart Gets Paid podcast chose to do.?
Listen in to hear:?
Listen on:
… or your favorite podcast platform.
Listen, even though I’m all about helping you succeed in your consulting business, I’m always going to tell you to do the right thing for you in this season of your life.?
And that means if you choose to go in a different direction, I want to make sure you have the tools you need to be successful.?
Because the skills and strategies that help you grow your consulting business are super valuable in other areas of your life, and in other directions of your career.
I’m not the kind of coach who tells you that the only way to consider yourself successful is to make a million dollars.
Instead, I want to help you create the business – and the life – that’s right for you, by giving you the tools to do exactly that.?
That way, when you achieve what you want to achieve, it’s not my definition of success, it’s yours.
So, if you sometimes wonder if the path you’re on is the right one for you right now, you’re going to find this episode really useful.
Listen in, then reply and tell me what stands out for you!

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.

8 个月Leah Neaderthal I really appreciate your transparency and balanced viewpoint here. Sometimes the best decision is not the one that feels the best for your ego, or that validates your determination. I think through similar questions myself every few months--which I think is healthy. Good for your client!
