In This Episode:

[01:10] Welcome to the show, Maelisa!

[01:23] Maelisa shares about her online business that focuses on teaching therapists SEO techniques for marketing.

[02:59] She discusses the ethics around the way therapists can market their businesses.

[04:23] Maelisa has a question about her website for Nikki about her pricing and packages.

[05:51] Maelisa explains the different packages she offers and the options included in each.

[08:20] Maelisa asks Nikki how she can sell more of the options B package.

[09:51] In the discovery call, are you asking leading questions that are setting them up so that when you lay out the options, it makes sense that they need package B?

[10:06] Nikki gives examples of what she means by leading questions.

[11:42] Nikki suggests that Maelisa might need to look at her discovery questions.

[12:40] Let the prospective client know which package you recommend and let them know why you think it would work best for them.

[15:23] The sales process isn't about trying to convince anybody to do something; it's more about giving them the options that will meet their needs.

[16:08] Do you know how to create curiosity when you are talking about your products or services?

[16:38] Nikki suggests that Maelisa always starts with the bigger option first, working your way down.

[18:56] What do I say if a client asks if they can start with option A but move to option B later?

[20:49] Maelisa believes that asking more about the prospective clients' business will allow her to advise them better on which package they need.

[22:21] Asking the client what they already know about SEO enables you to talk to them about what they need to know.
