  • Coaching call: How can I design my offer suite to create more freedom in my business?

    Today I'm answering a question from a listener hoping to identify when is the best time to hire and/or outsource elements of her business.

  • Ask Steph: How can I increase my price when there are more affordable options available?
    Today I'm answering a question from a listener wanting to increase the price of her offer in a market saturated with more affordable options. She is worried about the perception of this price increase given the outcome promises are similar to her competitors even though her offer promotes a different learning method. In this episode, I am sharing my strategy to overcome this objection.
    - How highlighting the benefits of your approach versus the uniqueness of your offer is far more important
    - Why focusing on social proof that praises your method can establish confidence in your offer
    - The benefit of communicating value through increasing your price and reaching serious buyers
