In This Episode: [00:43] Today is all about converting fence-sitters into buyers. [01:41] A straggler or someone who has expressed interest and has had some type of communication with you but they're not closing. [02:24] Common reasons that stragglers hesitate include logistical conflicts, financial concerns, or lack of clarity about the value of the program. [03:14] Don't make assumptions about what's causing them to be a fence-sitter. Don't project your own limiting beliefs. [04:49] A creative solution for a logistical objective. Recognize that the person can't attend the live retreat and offer a VIP day instead, like a private one-on-one. [06:48] Showing flexibility can be the way to seal the deal. [07:11] Financial concerns. Sometimes, there's nothing you can do. Find ways to get creative. Offer a payment program or some other type of solution. [09:24] You could also offer some type of scholarship, but the recipient could do something extra. A scholarship shows engagement and sets the culture. [11:57] Don't assume the potential client is a no. Follow up. Forward the original message and change the subject line to "did you see this" and ask if this is something they would consider. [13:15] "What would it take for this to work for you?" [14:03] You could also give options or a menu. Asking if there's something else will give them a moment to gain clarity. [15:53] Send a closing loop message. Following up with you one last time just to see if there's anything you would like to move forward with.

[01:15] When I give language suggestions it doesn't mean it's the only way. It's just to help spur your ideas. [02:15] What's the ultimate goal? Are boundaries being crossed? Are we focusing on the heart of the matter and making an impact? [03:18] Have you ever questioned why someone hasn't taken your free advice? Could it be because they didn't pay for it? [04:01] When people pay, they pay attention. Allow these people to become paying clients. [05:01] One thing I implemented was 15 minute Spotlight Coaching conversations to allow people to be paying clients on a small scale. [06:59] Learn language to set boundaries when you feel like you're being taken advantage of or you know that if the client pays there will be more impact. [08:03] "I'd love to make sure that we have time to dive into what we had planned to go through today." Then redirect the conversation. [09:40] Story can be a huge time suck. [12:00] "That sounds like a really interesting story, but let's shift gears because we do have a limited amount of time today and talk about how we might work together to reach our goals." [13:01] The importance of having a pre-frame for the call. "It's been so great learning about you now let's jump into what we talked about earlier." [14:17] It's really about setting boundaries. You can change your language depending on how you know the person. [15:18] "I love our chats, but because we have to talk about our business, maybe we can set up another time to catch up." Keep your boundaries clear. [16:52] Say everything in a really kind way. Be patient and let the person transition. [17:27] Use selective amnesia and move on in the conversation.

[02:35] We are often our own worst critics which creates a tendency to hold back. [04:09] A story where even super high performers still have imposter syndrome. [05:15] The purpose of this episode is to continue to sell even when your performance is not up to your standards. [06:02] The first thing we need to do is shift our perspective. Recognize the positives and understand that the participants don't know the difference between your best performance and this performance. [07:19] It's important to recognize the things that did go well. [08:42] Be okay with wherever you are. Not everything you do has to be a 10. [09:48] It's not about you and your performance. It's about what the audience took away. [14:52] We have to set aside our own feelings and our own judgment, do our best, and still push offers out. [15:52] We need to learn to follow up without fear. We need to set the self-doubt aside and be willing to follow up. [18:34] Get my free follow-up guide in the Sales Maven Resources section. [20:00] There's a reason I send four or five emails. I get the majority of my buyers on email three and four and a few on five. [22:33] Be careful about making assumptions about what other people's experiences are going to be. [23:46] You can share support by being on camera during meetings and webinars. As a presenter, remain confident even if the audience's cameras are off. [27:11] Don't project your beliefs on the audience and don't hallucinate or read their minds. [28:41] Push through those times when you're not happy with your performance and do a follow-up.

This can be an opportunity to bless and release. [10:14] Based on what you've shared and what's important to you and specifically what you're looking to accomplish, I get a sense that what I offer isn't the right nextstep for you.

These are people who you possibly have had a call with, and you know what they're looking for and you may have even talked about working together. [03:01] Make a list of hot leads who have expressed interest in working with you. Craft an individualized message for each person.

[10:33] Would you or someone you know benefit from... or something else? [12:04] Ask questions in your emails. Instinctive elaboration our brains are wired for questions. [14:11] The third strategy is to do a year end message, plant some seeds, and have some questions in the message. You could call it a year in review and be sure to have a call to action. [17:14] Start collecting information, so you'll have the data at the end of the year. [18:06] What action will you take as a result of this podcast?

In This Episode: [00:42] How to communicate a price increase to your existing clients without losing business. Raising prices is one of the most difficult things business owners do. [01:41] When you can handle your price increase conversations with confidence, it really will improve your client retention rate. [02:02] Being honest and direct creates trust, and people buy from people who they trust. [03:02] Frame it as this is the new rate moving forward. Language is important, so you don't want to set the tone that the price is being raised. They get to decide how they feel about the new rate. [04:12] It's just news. [05:01] Please be informed that as of, and then you insert the date, the rate for our work together will now be X, Y, Z. [06:17] Don't over-explain or try to justify. [08:06] Timing matters. Some clients will need notice in advance. Communicate live whenever possible. Words, voice quality, and body language. Zoom is your first choice, then phone, and then email. [10:50] You also want a clear date of when this change takes place for existing clients. [11:59] New prospects don't need to know about the price increase. It's just the price. [12:53] Unless you're using the price increase as an incentive to buy now, it's irrelevant to the people who aren't your clients. [13:22] You want the message to be clear and confident. Open the door if they do have any questions. [14:40] Sometimes when you raise rates, you will lose clients. Be prepared to "bless and release" the people who are no longer a fit as you scale your business. [15:56] A client story about the benefit of raising rates. The person in this example now works 25 hours less a week and still makes the same amount of money. For more actionable sales tips, download the FREE Closing The Sale Ebook.
