Women Wealth Wordpress

In this episode of Women in Wealth WordPress, we continue on from our discussion last week on the sales process and dive into the all important intake process. I truly believe that having well-documented processes is the key to building a successful business. Nailing your process allows for scalability, removes mental load, and opens up space for creativity and growth. It also sets the foundation for hiring and seamlessly integrating new team members into your business, if that's your jam!

I believe that guiding clients through the intake process is crucial for a successful project, building trust and confidence in your expertise. 

In this episode I share tips on streamlining the intake process, starting with sending proposals, contracts, and invoices promptly, all in one go to making it easy for clients to convert, remove friction and streamline the booking stage.

I chat through the importance of providing a welcome pack that outlines project timelines, expectations, and communication guidelines. Additionally, how using customer portals or software like Moxie can make it convenient for clients to access project information and complete required forms. Lastly, I highlight the significance of having the right form types to ensure a secure transfer of information and allow clients to take their time with gathering assets and answering strategic questions.

Join me on this episode as we explore the intake process and learn how to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for both you and your clients.

In this minisode of Women Wealth WordPress, I share my insights on cultivating a positive and confident sales mindset and mastering the art (and learnable skill) of discovery calls. 

As web designers, we often offer a high-ticket service, and it's unlikely that someone will make a purchase without first talking to us. It is crucial we understand how to navigate these calls effectively.

I start by discussing my own experience, having booked 12/13 projects from discovery calls since returning from maternity leave. 

I cover the importance of consistency and cohesion throughout the entire customer journey. From my website and nurture funnels to pricing details and social media presence, every touchpoint reflects who I am and what I deliver.

But it wasn't always such smooth sailing! I used to spend a lot of time on discovery calls, that didn't always convert.

I very quickly realised the need to be more intentional with my time and introduced barriers to booking, while also working on my sales skills and mindset to ensure that calls were more likely to convert.

Selling doesn't have to feel icky or overwhelming. 

By understanding your value and genuinely offering a solution to your clients' problems, selling becomes a service. 

I'd love you to join me as I explain my sales call process and share my best tips for more successful consultation calls.

Tune in to this minisode of Women Wealth WordPress to learn how to approach discovery calls in a way that serves both your business, and your clients.

On this episode of Women Wealth WordPress, we dive into the concept of building a pleasurable business that prioritizes joy and well-being above all else. Che shares how important it is to know yourself,  and what a pleasurable business means to her rather than trying to replicate what works for others. We also explore the difficult decision of cutting your losses and moving on from projects that aren't compatible, and how it's possible to prioritize your own needs alongside the needs of your clients and business.

I share my personal struggles with taking time off and trusting that things will fall into place, even if we're not constantly \"on\".
