Almost 1 year after publishing, this is the most popular episode on the podcast. People were triggered, loved it, had to get used to it and also sent it to many people. I relistened the episode and I’m still behind everything I said in here, in fact, now that I’ve coached so many people with this method, I’ve seen proof it really works in the long term (not just in my business).

Enjoy listening to this one and do not forget to forward to your friends!

Today we're diving into the topic of filling up your sales pipeline.

This Thursday, I'm hosting a sales masterclass for freelance online marketeers and I was inspired to share a part of the masterclass with you, namely the filling up of your pipeline.

In this episode I'm sharing 4 golden nuggets on how you can do this, the unconventional way.

Have a great day!

Today we're diving deep into the topic of on how to grow your client base, meaning: 

If 1 person found you and wants to work with you, we can also turn those into 10 or 100, 1000, 10.000 and more.

This question was coming in from multiple clients, they know there’s more out there, but how to get there, in this episode I’m helping you find the way to leverage your business. 

With my clients, we always first look at their offer (episode 63), if they like it.
But then, and I haven’t spoken about this before on the podcast, we’ll also look at something different. Tune in to hear more on what and how.

This time a question coming in from one of my private clients. 

She works with me for almost a year now and aside from many other things, I am helping her create a book. 

She’s published many articles in the academic field, but hasn’t yet published a ‘life work’ of her method in a way that is available to the public. 

A book can help you claim authority, not that my client needs that, but you might want that. 

And a book can also help you sort all of your thoughts and ideas. 

In this episode I’m sharing how I’m helping my client and also I’m referencing different books and what I’ve seen in their process and also how I am preparing for my own book.
