Today, I’m throwing it back to an old interview with sales coach, Maria Bayer. This conversation from 2015 led me to make a few small changes in my own business that had a huge impact on how I interact with clients when they initially inquire with me.
A few topics from today’s show:
- Maria talks about the selling mindset that you must have to win clients and charge what you’re worth.
- Learn how to build value with your clients (hint: it’s harder to do through e-mail).
- Learn a few quick tips that you can implement now to start vetting potential clients and leading them to book larger packages.
- Hear Maria talk about the two different ways her clients go about selling products.
