A champion in the realm of women entrepreneurs is committed to uplifting and empowering women in business.To successfully connect with your ready-to-buy audience, women entrepreneurs must have confidence and understand sales techniques and buyer psychology. In this episode, we explore how to do just that so you can remove limitations and build the business of your dreams.The Importance of Confidence and Self-BeliefMany women entrepreneurs face self-doubt and undervalue their capabilities. Fostering self-belief and confidence is necessary for business success. When female entrepreneurs believe in their skills and business models, it naturally translates to better performance and higher revenue.How to Shift the Perception of Sales as Women EntrepreneursSales often carry a stigma, especially among women. Many view sales negatively, associating it with sleazy tactics and desperation. However, it's crucial to reframe this mindset. Women are naturally gifted with empathy, connection-building, and understanding – all traits that make them exceptional at sales. When sales are viewed as an act of service and helping others get what they desire, it transforms the entire approach. The right mindset towards sales can turn it from a daunting task into an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Selling shouldn't be about desperation but confidently showcasing value and offering solutions that meet potential clients' needs.Understanding and Speaking the Buyer's LanguageOne key component of meaningful sales is understanding and effectively communicating with the target audience. Market research is invaluable in identifying potential clients' most pressing needs and desires. By utilizing the specific language and terminologies that resonate with the target audience, entrepreneurs can craft compelling messages that speak directly to those ready to invest.Practical Steps for Women Entrepreneurs to Identify and Attract Ready BuyersWomen Entrepreneurs must fine-tune their messaging to attract clients prepared to invest in their offerings.This involves:Market Research: Conducting thorough market research to understand the buyer's psyche, challenges, and aspirations.Targeted Messaging: Focusing messages on specific outcomes and solutions rather than just problems. This shifts the clientele from those who need commiseration to those ready to take actionable steps toward their goals.Clear Call to Actions: Providing clear instructions on what actions to take if they are ready to invest. This eliminates ambiguity and guides potential clients through the sales funnel smoothly.Embracing Authenticity and Unapologetic SellingEntrepreneurs are encouraged to embrace their authentic selves and show up fully in their business. This might involve blocking non-supportive followers, including friends and family, from social media to ensure an unfiltered and confident presence. Authenticity in marketing and sales builds trust and resonates more powerfully with potential clients. About MelanieMelanie Childers is the Master Business Coach for values-led coaches, course creators, and CEOs.

Family dynamics influence so much of what we do and how we process different situationsWe all have family dynamics and family relationships, whether the family we create for ourselves or some other version of family, and those family relationships significantly impact individual growth and societal contributions. Coaching has a profound effect on families and can transform not only the lives of parents but also the lives of children and, by extension, the broader community.The Role of Coaching in Family DynamicsFor many of us, there are sensitivities surrounding family dynamics and family relationships. This episode aims to bring a sense of peace and understanding to those who may struggle with family dynamics, highlighting that perfection in family relationships is not the goal, but attention and effort are crucial.Steph, who specializes in coaching for moms and daughters, shares her experiences and the immense value coaching has brought to her personal and professional life. The mother-daughter relationship, marked by many ups and downs, benefits immensely from coaching, which helps navigate the complexities of parenting through different life stages.The Power of Coaching for ParentsCoaching provides parents with invaluable tools to manage their relationships with their children better. For instance, coaching helps parents set aside their own struggles and focus on their children's needs, fostering a nurturing environment. Given the myriad of emotions, such as guilt, shame, and joy, that parents experience while raising their children, this kind of environment is vital.Every child has their own distinct personality, which emphasizes the importance of personalized approaches in parenting. Coaching offers strategies and tools that help parents connect with their children on a deeper level. Knowing how to regulate one's own emotions and nervous system before engaging with children can significantly improve parent-child interactions.Whole Person Coaching ApproachThe holistic, or whole person, approach to coaching looks beyond surface-level issues and dives into components like cognitive entry points, emotional sets, nervous system understanding, and action-oriented coaching. By addressing these pillars, coaches can better support their clients in multiple dimensions of their lives, leading to more profound and lasting changes.This approach is particularly effective for parents, equipping them with better strategies to handle real-life challenges and maintain emotional balance. Learning and practicing these techniques can enhance your ability to be present and supportive of your children, fostering a stable and nurturing family environment.Comprehensive Coach CertificationAbout Steph ChaffeeSteph is a certified Motherhood and Family Life Coach.

Coaching Moms to navigate parenting when your kid is not like you is Meg's SpecialtyParenting isn't a one-size-fits-all journey. Each child is unique, and often, parents find themselves navigating the challenge of parenting a child who is nothing like them. Coaching for moms to navigate this territory and address these differences is an invaluable option.Building a Safe Community for your coaching clientsMeg is one of Molly's coaching clients and is so grateful for the supportive community Molly has created. Meg brings this community, which provides a "soft landing" where individuals can grow without external pressures, into her coaching for moms. It is important to create a safe space where clients feel relaxed and confident so that they can have true growth.Understanding Parenting ChallengesThere are specific challenges moms face when their children are very different from them. There are common worries among moms, such as maintaining a good relationship and having enough skills to support their children effectively. Moms care so much for their kids and want the best for them, often making them feel pressured to "fix" their kids in the interest of their well-being.Embracing Acceptance and GentlenessMeg advocates for a gentle approach, encouraging moms to accept their feelings and gain a better understanding of why they feel certain ways about certain behaviors from their children. When moms can accept how they are feeling and create space to reflect on the situation, it can significantly reduce the impulse to control or change their children's actions.The Impact of SupportWhen Moms are able to slow down and reflect on their more challenging interactions with their children, they may realize different pressures or expectations they are putting on their children to fit a certain mold. By stepping back and allowing their children to be themselves, moms can foster a more supportive and encouraging environment, leading to a stronger parent-child relationship.Coaching Moms: Tapping Into CalmnessIn her coaching practice, Meg offers free weekly tapping sessions for moms. These 15-minute sessions aim to help moms relax and take the edge off, especially during the summer when parenting can be particularly challenging.

Supercharge Your Coaching SkillsTo advance your coaching skills and truly excel as a coach, you must view and understand your clients as whole people. Integrating cognitive, emotional, and nervous system awareness methods allows you to adjust your approach fluidly based on your clients' needs. This adaptability ensures smoother sessions and enables you to guide clients intuitively and effectively.Why Advanced Coaching Skills MatterAs coaches, we are passionate about providing exceptional experiences for our clients. For those dedicated to transformational change, safety, and ethics, enhancing your coaching skills is paramount. This workshop series is designed for you.The Essentials of Advanced Coaching Skills: 4 Fundamentals discussed in the IntensiveAdvanced Cognitive CoachingMy foundational training was through the Life Coach School, where I mastered the cognitive coaching model. Cognitive approaches are incredibly effective yet not holistic. My experience with cognitive coaching showed that it could only go so far. Cognitive coaching is excellent for mindset work, but the emotional and physical aspects that also affect our clients need to be addressed.Emotion-Focused ModalitiesEmotions and past traumas are stored in the body, affecting our clients deeply. Solely relying on cognitive approaches might not only be ineffective but detrimental. Embracing emotion-focused modalities ensures that we address these emotional blocks. Combining cognitive strategies with emotion-focused ones can supercharge your ability to help clients create lasting change.Understanding the Nervous SystemNervous system awareness is critical for advancing your coaching skills. Your clients might experience fight-or-flight responses in coaching sessions or in their daily lives. Knowing how to help your clients understand and manage their nervous systems can vastly improve the effectiveness of your coaching. If a client continually has a stress response in specific situations, your interventions must address this underlying activation to facilitate true change.Action-Focused StrategiesFinally, many coaching programs emphasize action plans. While structured actions are beneficial, they often fail when clients have underlying emotional blocks or conflicting beliefs. A comprehensive understanding of your client's emotional states and beliefs allows you to tailor action plans that align with their unique situation, removing friction and fostering real progress.Read the full show notes here.

The Myth of Social Media as an necessityA common misconception is that businesses must be active on social media to succeed. Robyn shared that many multi-million dollar businesses thrive without a robust social media presence, focusing instead on building a strong foundation. Building a solid foundation is invaluable to your business success.Building a Solid Foundation using SEO StrategiesA solid business foundation begins with a personal brand. By being distinct and clear about who you are and the results you can deliver, you set yourself up for sustainable business success.A business foundation needsan optimized websitean engaged email listUnlike what you post on social media platforms, you have complete control over these elements, which are up to the platform's discretion. Clarity and Client ConnectionWhen you want to attract your ideal or soulmate clients, you must be extremely clear on what you provide and who you are there to help. Robyn describes these as soulmate clients - clients with whom you share a deep and meaningful connection, leading to better results and long-term relationships. Unlike the superficial connections often formed on social media, soulmate clients are those who truly understand your value and are aligned with your mission.Authenticity and DifferentiationBeing on social media can often lead to comparison and even trying to mimic others' successful strategies. You must avoid mimicking others to be authentic and connect with your soulmate clients. Your authenticity will attract your soulmate clients and differentiate you from others in your field. It also helps eliminate the feelings of doubt and imposter syndrome that often come from comparing oneself to others on social media.Trust and Mutual RespectIn discussing client relationships, Robyn emphasized the significance of mutual trust and respect. It's not enough for clients to trust you; you must also trust them to take your advice and implement your strategies. This mutual respect fosters a collaborative environment where you and your clients can thrive.SEO Strategies: A Tip from RobynEnsure that you have a photograph of yourself on your homepage, on your About page, and sprinkled throughout your website. On those images, include alt text. Alt text is for nonsighted people to understand what is on an image, and it is search engine optimized. You can include your name, title, and whoever is in your niche. Add those keywords and key phrases for your images because that will help Google see who you are, what you do, and how you do it, and then show you to more people.About Robyn Dr. Robyn Graham is the founder and owner of Robyn Graham, LLC, and the creator of the Purpose to Results™- Success without Social Method.

If you are a coach committed to helping your clients, you must also be committed to personal growth. As you continue to grow, you learn new skills and modalities to add to your coaching toolbox, which will benefit you and your clients.How can you add to your coaching toolbox?Building trust with your clients and adding your uniqueness to their coaching experience is why they came to see you. Don't overlook your personal gifts and how impactful those are to your soulmate clients.Expanding and shifting your skillsets to best serve your clientsPart of adding to your coaching toolbox and being an impactful coach is being in tune with your client's needs. Checking in with your clients and looking for what needs to be addressed so you can bridge that gap and meet their needs is invaluable to your effectiveness as a coach. You are in this field because you believe in what you do, and you not only care about your clients but are devoted to their success.Remember to stay in tune with your clients, look for what is needed, and then find a way to bridge that gap, whether that means searching for a new modality or shifting your perspective and adding to what is already in place.Teach what you believe in and have experienced.One of the things Brenda deeply believes in is to teach what you know. When working with clients, she looks at them and her own journey and growth and asks herself, How can I learn and grow to find the right tool if I do not have the tools to support this particular client?Part of delivering the best service for your clients is your investment in their personal growth and being committed to growing so that you can help find the right tools to support them along their journey.Adding self-care tools to your coaching toolboxMost entrepreneurs have learned to work hard and hustle to get their businesses off the ground. However, it is just as important to learn self-care habits to prevent overexhaustion or burnout. Working hard is wonderful, but not when you do it at your own expense.Learning to listen to your body and when you need rest and honoring that is an invaluable skill. There is always a list of one million things that need to be done—that list never ends—but it does not all need to be fixed today. Honor when you need to rest, and you, too, just might find that you are able to have your best thinking and coaching once you are rested.Instead of asking, have I worked hard enough to rest? Ask, have I rested enough to work hard? Apply the tools you offer to clients to yourself first, and make sure you take time to rest.About Brenda LomeliBrenda Lomeli is a Master Life Coach.
