44. Why you shouldn’t ask client what they want from you


Listen Later

Do you ever let your prospect decide what they think needs to happen? You try to be helpful and flexible.
It comes from a good place, but it almost always pulls them further away from the result they actually want.

In this episode, we dive into why you need to stay in the expert role, how to guide clients without feeling pushy, and how to design a process that gets results (even when clients resist parts of it).

In this episode, you’ll discover:

·       Why letting clients decide the “how” dilutes your process and hurts their results

·       The real reason clients choose the path of least resistance

·       How to hold your authority without feeling rigid or controlling

·       What to do when clients resist certain steps

·       How to sell what they want while giving them what they need — without breaking trust
