She Mentors

In today’s episode we chat with Sarah Kerr, founder of The Customer Agency, about the power of creating deep connections with your clients or customers.

In times of crisis, whether that's Coronavirus or a recession, it's more important than ever to understand the emotional needs and triggers of your audience.

But how can you standout in a crowded market? Why should a customer choose you and not your competitor? Sarah takes us through a step-by-step framework that you can do from home.

We discuss

👉 How Coronavirus is affecting your customers

Want to ask for a pay rise in 2020? Or learn how to negotiate a new job title?

Through her work with Young Professional Women Australia, Kate Boorer recognises opportunities for women to gain clarity of what they want; own their value; and ask for what they are worth. She regularly helps women negotiate career progression opportunities, remuneration and new roles.

In this podcast episode we dig deep into the "uncomfortable" conversation around money; how to ask for a pay rise; the "right time" to ask; and what you should say to your manager or boss to get your request across the line.

Absolutely loved chatting with Kate on this topic and can highly recommend her book Core Confidence, and the resources she has put together.

Here she shares her story: the highs and lows, the breakthrough moments and tips for dealing with that inner critic (hey, Barb).

Ever feel pressured to scale your freelance business? Got too many clients and not enough time?

In this podcast episode, we chat with freelance consultant Kate Collinson about the power of staying small. Having worked for digital agencies in New York and Melbourne, she has has a wealth of experience working for brands such as Nike and Sports Girl. But after she was made redundant from a start up, she decided to switch things up and launch her own consultancy business.

But as her client base grew, so did the pressure to scale and grow a team. At the end of 2018, Kate went through a period of real depression. As she worked her way through this she realised that she didn't have to say yes to everything. In fact, the opposite was true. She started saying no. She focused on creating a sustainable business - one that gave her freedom to do the things that made her happy.

This is a great reminder that we don't need to scale our businesses and make more money. Instead we should look at what really makes us happy and build a sustainable business without the burnout.

Kate is a member of our She Mentors Members' Club so feel free to request a Mentor Hour with Kate and connect with her at Katecollinson.com
