Marketing #Unfiltered

Just like the title suggests, there are 5 BS beliefs (that I hear again, and again, and again!) that are stopping you from getting clients. Let’s walk through each one and talk about why they are total bullsh*t. The moral of the story: If we don’t get clear on the ACTUAL problem, you’ll get yourself stuck. Question your beliefs. Especially these five. Resources mentioned in this episode:The Get Clients on Social Class is happening on November 14th, 16th + 18th! And man will you LOVE this class if this episode resonates with you. Plus, it’s totally free. Save your seat: getcoachsocial.com/class

I got a great question and that’s what we’re speaking to today… A listener reached out to say that their business is relatively new, and while they are super excited and inspired by all of the conversations we’re having on this podcast … they have no idea where to start. Can you relate? Well then this was made for you. In this episode we’ll cover: The three systems every business needs at ANY stage How to get started on these systems if you’re new to business What questions to ask yourself at the end of every week to make sure you’re on track Resources discussed inside: The Clients on Social System is coming to a live training near you! We’ll be going live on November 14th, 16th + 18th. Sign up for the waitlist here: getcoachsocial.com/waitlist 

Lovedddd this conversation with Jamie! Jamie is a Money Mindset Coach who went from $140k - $500k in one year – not from working harder, but from applying everything she knows and coaches about thinking differently about money. This episode is for you if you…➡️…want to create more money but are feeling STUCK ➡️…want to identify a money block that may be holding you back ➡️…have money beliefs that you’re fully aware of but don’t know what the heck to do about them. This conversation is FULL of practical tips for shifting your relationship with money so you can pave the way to create more of it. We’ll answer questions like: What the heck is manifestation? How do I know what blocks I have? How do I begin healing my blocks? How can I manifest money quickly?What can I do if my partner doesn’t believe in manifestation? We also played a game called MONEY BLOCK TO MONEY MATCH where we addressed how to overcome 5 money beliefs shared by our audience: ➡️”There’s never enough money.” ➡️”What if I'm not a good enough coach to make the amount of money that I want?” ➡️”Making money is hard work.”➡️”Losing my money is inevitable.” ➡️”I don't have time to manifest money. I need money ASAP.” In other words, this hour and 15 minutes is jam packed. Resources shared in this episode: The GET CLIENTS ON SOCIAL Class is happening on November 14th, 16th + 18th! Sign up for the waitlist here: getcoachsocial.com/waitlist 

We’re in the middle of the growth challenge right now. That’s where my community is creating a list of podcasts to pitch to so they can get in front of new audiences. And a question comes up every time I support someone through a pitching process: Should I pitch to people who might see me as a competitor? From where I stand… yes. I’m not saying they’re your first pitch. But they shouldn’t not be on the list just because they’re a competitor. Because the truth is even the competitors aren’t really competitors. But now the question becomes… HOW do you do that so it makes sense for both of you. We’ll cover that in this episode! Resources / Reminders:Use code INSTA here to get $20 off month one of What The Heck To Post over at www.whatthehecktopost.com

When people ask you what you do, what do you say? I’m gonna bet you mumble through something super vague … and you probably do it really quickly because you think no one’s gonna understand what the heck an online coach even is. Amiright?You would be STUNNED how many people have entered my world because of a clear “what I do” statement. People will often respond with, “Oh my gosh! My sister is a coach! I should send her your way.” Or months later I’ll get an email saying, “Sophia I was just speaking to a friend of a friend and she’s really struggling with social media. Are you taking clients? If so, I’d love to connect her with you.” Why did they think of me all that time later? Because…I clearly shared what I did in a sentenceAnd the language I used was language my ideal client used Now – in their mind – I’m the first person they’ll think of when someone in their world expresses the pain point I solve. In this episode I share a story about this playing out recently and I also walk you through some templates you can steal so you can stop missing out on this super easy visibility strategy. 

In today’s episode we talk about the biggest problem you have with your social media: your unrealistic expectations! I take you through an engagement equation to help you uncover what kind of engagement you should actually expect for the size of your following. Now you know if you should stop obsessing over “low” engagement so you can use that energy for something productive, or if your concerns are valid. Either way, it will help you uncover your next step. Trigger warning: I also tell you the story about that time I couldn’t fit into my pants and I was very hard on myself but realized it was actually a crazy story I was telling myself because of unrealistic expectations. Hint-hint: yes, you’re doing the same with your engagement. 

If your top value is showing up authentically online, you want to listen to this. Especially if you feel like strategies make you feel inauthentic. I share 3 truths that I hope will help you see strategies in a different light. Especially if you have trouble……showing up if you’re uninspired …staying consistent with strategies because you don’t want people to think you’re tricking them into signing up for a lead magnet or taking some other action on social …using strategies in general because they just seem so slimy and you’d rather create content and wait for opportunities to come to you…NOT people pleasing online (ie. giving too much in DMs / discovery calls / connection calls, etc) Consider this my love letter to the people who do NOT want to feel icky online and are afraid of being judged as inauthentic.  Resources shared in this episode: How To Get Clients on Social (even without a big following) Masterclass: getcoachsocial.com/coachesonsocial
