You have a product or a service that you KNOW people need.

But, you're not getting as many sales, and you know you want.

You're settling for fewer clients than you could have.

What's happening?

And, what can you do that will turn the tide and give you a flow of new clients coming your way?

I recently interviewed hundreds of women business owners who were experiencing low sales and noticed seven things they were doing that kept them from reaching their full income potential.

I'll share these insights with you in this episode.

One of these is a TOTAL game-changer.

And the antidote I'll give you works even if you've found yourself backing away from asking for the sale in the past, and you won't need to buy any high-cost technology or training.

When you can overcome these reasons, you give yourself 7 ways to get new clients without feeling salesy…

So, if some days you feel like you're settling for fewer sales than you're meant to have in your business, then what I'm about to share is for you.

Take a listen.

I’ll be diving deeper into this topic at the Get New Clients Coaching Week from 8 - 14 March.

When I work with women to help them grow their businesses and build strong connection networks, Speaking Up is an essential key move I help them to master.

Until we can get some mastery over our ability to speak up, we can fail to meet our true potential in sales, fame, the impact we have and our ultimate success.

It takes speaking up to reach more people, to make more of an impact, and to get more results.

If you want to make a dent in the world, you need to be willing to be seen AND HEARD.

But that can be tough.

Speaking up can make us feel vulnerable.

We worry that someone won’t like us.

Or that we’ll get criticised.

This reluctance to speak impacts most people, but in particular women. Even hugely successful women.

And that’s because a couple of things can happen when we decide to speak up in a more significant way than before.

Say you’re now you wan to do Facebook Lives, or speak on stages, or create a podcast, or run an online challenge and you’re looking to go from where you are NOW to play a BIGGER GAME game.

Firstly, you may feel a case of Imposter Syndrome, that feeling of ‘who do you think you are?’ and that you may get found out as being a fraud.

The second thing that can happen is that what can show up is what author Steven Pressfield calls Resistance, which is that voice that says:

“Stay safe. Stay small. You might get hurt if you reach too high. If you step out and speak up too much, you don’t know what might happen.”

Asking for higher prices, asking for the sale, leaning into opportunities - all that requires you to get past this Resistance and to speak up.

So, what do you do? How do you start Speaking Up more?

In this episode, I share a powerful place to START speaking up more effectively.

Take listen.

We know we need more clients and we need clients coming back and referring us when they've used our services, or visited our eCommerce store, or come into our retail outlet.

Getting new clients starts with Showing Up.

But, SHOWING UP isn't always easy, even for the most outgoing women.

SHOWING UP in a consistent way can be tricky when we have so many competing demands on our time.

But I know from personal experience that to get new clients, reach more people, make connections, and create an audience ready for our offers, it takes showing up.

That's when we are rewarded with more clients, more leads and a network of people who know, like and trust us and refer business to us.

Showing up even if...

  • You're an introvert
  • You're not sure about how to talk about your business without rambling or feeling like you're boring people
  • You don't like your appearance.
  • You don't know that anyone really needs or wants your product or service.
  • Had a really tough time last year and you're still reeling from the experience of lockdown and changes brought on by COVID, and perhaps that experience has you feeling less confident and doubting yourself.

That's where you start to see the rewards.

Sounds simple enough.

But I get it. Showing up isn't easy for me either.

Even though I have a podcast, I do Facebook LIVES, run workshops, run a high-level mastermind, speak on people's webinars, speak on stages at live events, etc. It's still not easy. And as an introvert, I still struggle a little in the day-to-day.

But here is what changed things for me.

  1. Having the RIGHT PLACE to SHOW UP - somewhere where I'd feel comfortable even if I wasn't feeling successful and if I didn't know where to start finding clients or getting the word out about my business
  2. Having an EASY WAY to SHOW UP that felt natural and didn't need me to have it all figured out - with my perfect sales pitch and a pile of business cards ready to hand out to anyone who'd take one.

Listen to hear how showing up brings the rewards of getting more clients, reaching more people and feeling more connected without feeling like you have to be sales or pushy, and even if you're an introvert.

If you’ve been trying to get something done for a while and every time you think about it your eyes roll to the back of your head…

If you can’t seem to sit your butt down long enough to make progress on that project you’ve been meaning to get done…

It’s likely that there is something about the tasks is triggering you emotionally

  • The magnitude of the project has you feeling overwhelmed and bringing up all your issues about not having enough time.
  • It’s something you hate doing (but maybe there’s nobody else to do it, or at least that’s the way it feels).
  • You lack and experience and competence. (Maybe it’s the first time you’re doing this.)
  • Your lack the knowledge and feel a bit stupid because you don’t really know HOW to do a lot of aspects of the project.
  • You don’t know where to start and the right order or things. Or, what to focus on.

Often we have our butt on the chair doing, doing, doing, but we are not specifically focused on the tasks and projects that make the most difference to our business.

We’re tinkering with things that are in our Zone of Incompetence.

Thinkings ‘if it is to be, it’s up to me’.

Or, we’re tinkering with things that SURE, we can do… but they’re not the most effective use of our time and someone else could possibly do them FASTER, and with less HASSLE and ultimately, LESS COST.

And, we tinker with things that we SHOULDN’T be doing at all. Things that are not really moving the needle towards our ultimate goals.

Maybe we’re doing things that NOBODY should be doing, tasks that are not aligned to your goals and objectives and your vision.

So, how do you finally get your butt on the seat and get unstuck and make progress?

Listen to hear how to finally sit your butt down, get past this stuck point and make progress on your most important projects.
