Inside this episode, we’re covering:

If you’re getting ghosted after someone inquires—or you’re constantly thinking “if I could just get them on a call, I know they’d book”—this episode is for you.

Today, we’re talking about the very first email you send after someone reaches out… and why it might be the reason dream clients never take the next step.

I’m walking you through how to structure this email (and what to link to) so that your inquiry process actually does the selling for you—and makes dream clients want to take the next step immediately.

Inside this episode, we’re covering:

• Why this 1 email is so much more than just a confirmation or pricing reply
• What most people get wrong in their inquiry response (and how to fix it)
• The one thing you should never attach to your first reply
• What to include instead that immediately sets you apart (even if you’re the most expensive option)

✨ P.S. Want a private pricing page like the one I shared in this episode—but hate updating your website or writing the copy?

I’m in the process of launching a *BRAND NEW* offer to create customized website pages to help you create a high-converting, streamlined client experience (and as a podcast listener, you're the first to hear all about it!)

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why so many business owners overthink their content—and how the one question you’re asking yourself right now when you go to post is actually the thing that’s keeping you stuck.

We’re shifting the focus away from you, and back to what your dream clients actually need to hear (so you can start creating high-converting content effortlessly).

Inside this episode, we’re talking about:

• Why “what should I post today?” is the wrong question (and what to ask instead)
• How to make your marketing feel so much simpler
• How to get back to creating content easily (if you've been feeling overwhelmed and overthinking it)

✨ P.S. If you're ready to create simple content that actually brings in aligned clients (without feeling the pressure to recreate trending IG reels that make you wanna cringe)… The In-Demand Brand Course was created for you.
It’s your step-by-step framework to create a brand that you LOVE, feel confident in, and that sells for you—so you can stop staring at a blank laptop screen wondering what to post today that will make people reach out.

You don't have to be "on" 24/7 in order to always be attracting new clients. In fact, when you focus on this ONE type of content, getting new dream inquiries becomes a whole lot simpler (and allows you to be posting and showing up LESS online).

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why only focusing on short-form content is draining your energy and not actually building momentum in getting new client inquiries on repeat. 

I’m walking you through how I’ve built a business that still brings in dream clients — even when I’ve barely touched Instagram for weeks — and while I'm in another country — and how you can shift your strategy to do the same.

Inside this episode, we’re covering:

• The real reason you feel like you have to be constantly “on” in order to get new client inquries
• How shifting your focus and energy to a different type of content will help you unplug without your income dipping
• Why focusing on quick business wins might be sabotaging your growth (and what to do instead)

✨ P.S. If you're ready to build a brand that does the heavy lifting for you—so you're not always hustling trying to get the next client? The In-Demand Brand Course is open and ready for you! It’s your step-by-step framework to create a brand that clearly communicates your value and consistently brings in aligned clients—without burning you out in the process.

Today we're diving into the NUMBER ONE selling strategy that doesn't make you feel cringe and ALSO brings in clients on repeat 🔥

We’re talking about: how to remove the pressure to sell (so you don't sound salesy) and can actually sell more consistently.

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:

• How showing up without selling energy is the most powerful way to magnetize dream clients consistently (IE having people pop into your inbox and DMs without having to share a CTA or sales link)
• How to create connection in your content even when you’re not promoting anything (so you can be selling even when you're not actively launching anything)
• The increase in engagement you'll get when you stop asking “What should I post today?” (and ask a more impactful question instead)

This has single-handedly been the BIGGEST reason behind how I've built a business that is not only sustainable, but has dream clients always popping into my world.

Your most confident self doesn’t come from having more clarity, more strategy, more clients or more income.

You most confident self isn't something that you create "someday".

You confidence grows when you decide that you are more than capable of achieving your biggest goals.

You confidence is a decision—a choice.

In this episode, we're unpacking what it really takes to build unshakeable confidence in your brand, your offers—and in yourself. 

Here’s what we’re talking through:

• Why confidence isn’t something you wait to have—it’s something you decide
• My go-to method for how to instantly feel more confident as a business owner

📣 And if you’re craving more confidence in the way you show up and sell—my signature course, The In-Demand Brand, is officially open! Inside I'm guiding you through, step-by-step, how to create your confident brand—one that magnetizes clients to you because they can feel your confident energy.

If you’ve ever thought, “No one is buying my offer right now and everyone is saying I'm too expensive... I should just offer a one-time discount" — this episode is for you.

Because the truth is, your pricing isn't the problem (and you don't need to include more things to make it "worth it"). 

When your dream clients don’t immediately understand your value (aka what makes you different and why you're the person to solve their current challenges/problems), they default to saying it’s “too expensive.”

But the real problem? You’re not positioning your brand clearly enough for them to see why your offer is exactly what they need (and what will help them experience and live the life they want so deeply to live).

In this episode, we’re digging into:

• Why your pricing isn’t the issue (even if people keep telling you it is)
• How to build a brand that instantly communicates your value to dream clients
• What I realized recently while doing my own market research (that snapped me out of comparison mode fast)
• How to stop feeling like you need to “prove” your worth in your content (and what to do instead, that will actually feel GOOD to do)

Whether you’re launching something new or things have just been a little quiet lately, this episode will help you reframe what’s really going on — and how to position your offers with confidence again.

🎉 PS — My signature course, The In-Demand Brand, is officially open! If you’re tired of second-guessing your content or feeling stuck in “how do I explain what I do so people actually get it?” — this course was made for you. You’ll learn how to speak to your dream clients so clearly they start saying yes before you ever chat with them in real time. Learn more at: heykristamarie.com/in-demand-brand-course

How can I work with you?"...head to heykristamarie.com/in-demand-brand-course to join me inside.

Let’s talk about why content creation feels so stressful (even though you know it shouldn't feel this way). Spoiler alert: it’s not because you “aren’t good at writing posts” or “need better copy.”

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down 3 simple shifts that will help you create content that actually sounds like you (and that you're proud to share), connects more deeply with your audience (and actually leads to them taking action and reaching out), and allows you to stop overthinking and questioning if you're doing it the "right way".

We’re covering:

• How to create content without the overthinking and "pressure" to sound a certain type of way
• A new way to come up with post ideas on repeat—even when you don't know what to post (hint: it’s already inside your client experience)
• How to actually start enjoying sharing online again

Whether you’re burnt out from trying to sound perfect or just need to get back into a posting groove—this episode will help you find your voice again (and make posting feel less like going to the dentist—and more like a Saturday date with your gfs at your fave brunch spot 🥂).
