[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.   For more actionable sales tips, download the FREE Closing The Sale Ebook.   Find Nikki: Nikki Rausch nikki@yoursalesmaven.com Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram Sales Maven Society Work With Nikki Discussion To download free Resources from Nikki: www.yoursalesmaven.com/maven

As Christians, at times, we are timid in declaring why our business is great for the job to potential clients. We do this because of a false sense of humility. We don't want to sound as though we are bragging or come off as prideful. However, when you have the opportunity to pitch your business (or yourself) to a client, don't hold back. Boldly present your credentials and how you will solve the client's problems. If Jesus was bold to declare that He was the way to salvation, we should boldly declare that our business is the way to solve a client's problems.

“If you have to justify your fees, you're doing it all wrong,” says May Yeo Silvers. In this episode, May addresses a common mistake event professionals make: over-justifying their fees based on the time and effort they put into planning and execution. She suggests shifting the conversation from costs to the value and outcomes of the event, which more closely aligns with buyer psychology.   May emphasizes the need to understand clients' deeper motivations, such as enhancing their social standing or creating memorable experiences. She advises on asking the right questions to uncover these desires. May advocates for aligning event visions with client expectations without getting bogged down in cost details, positioning event professionals as key partners in the success of the event.   For listeners looking to refine their business and client interaction skills, May offers a new business kickstart bundle. This bundle includes 24 courses for only $24, covering essential business and event planning skills. Click here to access the bundle!   Quotes • “If you have to justify your fees, you're doing it all wrong.” (01:50 | May Silvers)  • “The price that they want to pay for that result is equivalent to the value that they're putting on the results that they want. And that value has a dollar amount, but that dollar amount can fluctuate based on how you emphasize the result that they want and what they will actually get from it.” (06:21 | May Silvers) • “How do you play their game? You play their game by understanding the buyer's psychology and the buyer's belief in what you can do for them.” (07:30 | May Silvers) • “Why is it important for them to have the event look that way? And how are you going to make it happen for them so that they not only get the event to look that way, but it also satisfies what we call the unseen, the unspoken, or the unmet need and desire for the event to look that way? When I sell to high-end clients, they want the event to look a certain way, not only because they want the event to look pretty. A lot of times, people spend a lot of money on making the events look good—it's because of ego. They want people to talk about their events.” (09:13 | May Silvers)    Links Are you an event planner or designer who is thinking about launching your events business but you don't know what to do and how to do it?    You want to invest in a course or a mentorship program to do it "right", but the cost of investment is prohibiting you?   Well, let me introduce the "unicorn" of the events business course, the Business Kickstart Bundle-24 Courses For ONLY $24!    These 24 courses revolve around the business fundamentals of Pricing, Marketing, Converting Leads, Business Legalities, Items you need to start your business, Mindset & Productivity hacks.   This is round 2 of our Business Kickstart Bundle BETA program.
