Launching Your Business: On-Air Coaching Call


Listen Later

“Even though you are relatively new in your business, you are not new; you come with twelve years of experience.” On this episode of the Sales Maven podcast, Nikki is working with Sam Holmes, a new Sales Maven Society member and the Founder of Authentic Insights. Sam asks Nikki for help with finding the easiest, most seamless way to extend an offer to have someone work with you.

Nikki believes that the first step is to have a concrete offer or a few offers to give potential clients options. Nikki suggests that Sam has some type of program or training that lets people get exposed to her and what she is offering and make it an easy yes when it comes to pricing. Nikki says that Sam’s experience in conflict resolution would be a great training she could do, which would then lead to the next step of private coaching.

“Building a list is absolutely crucial when starting a new business.” Nikki shares that having a free event or giveaway is one way to build your list because participants must register. Promote the event to people in your network and see if they would be willing to share it out in their network to anyone they believe might be interested. 

Sam says the sense of community and knowing that there are many other driven people in the group and you can pop in any question, and people respond really quickly are a few of the things she finds most valuable about being a part of the Sales Maven Society.
