Ever find yourself constantly searching for the next best platform to find clients? You're not alone.In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I dive deep into why "Where do I find clients?" is actually the wrong question to ask—and what you should be focusing on instead to consistently attract premium clients who are ready to say yes without hesitation.I share my own journey transitioning from VA to OBM, including how I went from effortlessly attracting clients to struggling for an entire year to book just 3-4 new clients. This experience taught me that the issue isn't about platform-hopping or trying new marketing strategies—it's about becoming the obvious solution when potential clients do find you.Whether you're constantly getting ghosted after discovery calls, hearing "your rates are too high," or simply not getting inquiries at all, this episode will transform how you position yourself and attract clients.Key Points Covered:✨ Why asking "Where do I find clients?" assumes the problem is external to you (and why that's incorrect)✨ The three key positioning elements that make some service providers magnetic to premium clients while others struggle✨ The difference between selling tasks versus selling transformation, and why the latter attracts clients who don't question your rates✨ A practical 3-question exercise to help you shift your positioning right now, starting with identifying the specific problem you solve better than anyone else✨ The simple positioning statement formula that makes you the only logical choice for your ideal clientsIf you're tired of spinning your wheels with marketing tactics that aren't working, this episode provides the foundational shift you need to stand out from thousands of other service providers and become truly magnetic to your dream clients.⚡️ Expansion 1:1 Coaching Program: My 3-month coaching experience designed to help you uncover your unique magic, craft an irresistible premium offer, and build a complete client attraction system.

Hey there!If your coaching is all about making clients feel good… you might be leaving money on the table.Because let's be honest, clients don't invest in coaching just to be validated. They invest to get results. And the truth? The best results don't come from sugarcoating or hand-holding.They come from coaching that challenges, stretches, and expands them.If you want to attract (and KEEP) high-caliber clients who trust you, stay for the long haul, and happily pay premium prices, your coaching has to go beyond surface-level encouragement.

Through Izzy Fortin Coaching, she uses her experiences and insights to help others grow professionally and personally.

Afterward, she spent 23 years as a devoted massage therapist, improving her ability to heal and care for others. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Isabelle.In this episode, Nancy and Isabelle discuss the following:Isabelle's transition from military to salesDefinition of a rebel and the importance of rebels in salesStrategy: "Make friends before you make clients."Value of honesty and authenticity in salesAligning company culture with sales team needsImpact of military experience on sales approachTurning rebellious salespeople into rock starsKey Takeaways: You can't go against who you areMake friends before you make clientsIf you give the rebels the tools that they need, they will become rock starsAlways quit a toxic relationship"I think that most sales rebels are extremely people-oriented. They're extremely community- and relationship-minded. And it is truly for them about cultivating relationships more than anything else. They make friends before they make clients. Of course, you know, the business that you are in has to give you that opportunity. I mean, if you're a salesperson in a store, maybe, you know, that's a little bit less, especially if it's a chain store, it's a little bit less of that. But even then, how many great people do we find or quite the opposite? You go to a store, and the person, you know, won't look at you, engage with you, or ask anything. Well, we are less likely to go back, right? So, I think that that's in their nature—to build relationships—and it is about selling who they are first." – ISABELLE"I believe that, of anybody, but especially when it comes to salespeople, thrive when the culture of the company that they work for understands that they cannot be treated like every other employee because they are different. And I find that you know, sales managers—only 6% of them get training in management. And yeah, only 6%. The stats are scary. Very often, I believe that either the company took their top salesman and decided to make them the manager, or worse yet, they took somebody from another department and decided, "Hey, you're a good manager. So, you can now lead the sales team." Sales is a different kind of species. And if you treat them the same as everybody else, they're going to underperform, and they're going to look for a job very quickly. And I think that that is the biggest mistake that most companies do—is deal with their salespeople the "wrong" way." - ISABELLE"The connection that I brought to my personal life from the military was you can work well with somebody you don't like and don't need to. I hear coaches say that very often—find the commonality, find, you know, if that person likes ballet or bowling or whatever, and you like that too, then you know, that's something to base the relationship on. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Sometimes, the commonality is that you're both humans living on this planet. So, you don't have to share a passion with somebody to get along with them. And that's where I got that from the military because in service, you literally, like a firefighter the same way. Police officers are the same way. You don't have to like someone. You need to recognize that that person is doing their best with the hand they've been dealt. And so that's what I bring from my military career to my consulting company now." – ISABELLEConnect with Isabelle Fortin:LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/isabellemfortin/Izzy Fortin: https://izzyfortin.comTry Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/  Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter:https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website:https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

It starts by understanding the dynamics of a customer verse client relationship.He explains how most clients will not put what they learn from marketers in place. You can write the best copy, but if they don't use it, then you get blamed.Even good clients attribute poor results to your copy. Not because of how you wrote it, but because they didn't do anything. They don't know enough to take responsibility.Start increasing your income by turning this around.

When old clients come back to work with you again, how do you tell them that your fees have changed since the first time you worked together?If you've been here before, you'll know that I teach designers how to get paid what they're worth. One of the first things we always work on in that process is design fees. Getting your design fees nailed down isn't too hard, but communicating those fees and sticking to them is harder, especially when you're dealing with returning clients who were familiar with your old prices. When one of your early clients wants to work with you again, you might be tempted to charge them the same as when you first worked together. I'm here to tell you that you don't need to do that. Your clients don't expect your fees to stay the same forever! You're the only one putting that expectation on yourself. Topics covered in this episode include:What to do when an old client comes back but your fees have gone up Why it's important for your fees to reflect your growth How to communicate changes to your clientsIf you feel nervous about telling returning clients your new design fees, you're in the right place. Tune in for a pep talk from me and my advice on how to charge returning clients.

Episode 163If you've ever wondered if there are actually enough podcast clients for podcast management to be a viable niche for you, then you're not alone. I think all of us have probably asked this question at one point. Today we're going to take a look at this question and see what the research actually says about this. If you're familiar with Crumbl Cookie and their business model, then you'll know that they only sell one type of cookie with their available flavors rotating each week. Does the fact that they don't make wedding cakes mean they have less customers? Yes. But do they need those customers in order to have a successful business? No! When you niche down you are offering a service that is specialized and can provide high value to the people (over 100,000 of them!) who actually need it!In this episode we cover:-Calling out the doubts we face as podcast managers-The question you should actually be asking yourself-What we can learn from Crumbl Cookie and their business model-What the stats are saying-How niching down can actually help you land more clientsIf you want to chat more about this topic, I would love to continue this conversation with you, over on Instagram! @laurenwrightonTo learn how to earn $5k per month as a podcast manager (without taking on a million clients!) grab a seat in our free masterclass at http://laurenwrighton.com/masterclassSHOW NOTES: https://laurenwrighton.com/episode163
