Ep 115: "Fake It Till You Make It? How 'Beginner Energy' Is Costing You Bookings

Listen Later

If you’ve ever said, “I’m still new,” in a client consultation… sis, this episode is your wake-up call. In Episode 115 of Raising the Bar Podcast, we’re diving into the quiet killer of your premium bookings: beginner energy. You know, that “humble” tone that seems polite but actually tells your clients, “Don’t trust me with your big day.” I’m breaking down the exact phrases that are sabotaging your consultations, and giving you powerful language swaps that position you like the pro you already are. Plus, I’ll share how one of my students shifted her mindset and went from losing a $1,200 booking to landing a $1,400 luxury client... without adding a single new skill. Inside this episode:

  • The 3 energy mistakes that repel high-paying clients
  • What to say instead of “I’m still learning”
  • How to sound confident (even when you're not)
  • Why faking it isn’t the move — and what to do instead

    • If you’re tired of sounding “new” and ready to start booking like a boss, this episode will change the way you walk into every client conversation.
