I find that I book maybe only 25 percent of the people I meet with. Is this typical? I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
Great deep dive!! Thank you! How do you handle conveying the fact that the date isn’t locked in until you receive the retainer and agreement–without sounding like a used car salesman? I find it can take 2-3 weeks for clients to pay even after verbally committing to me immediately, all the while expecting me to keep the date. It’s not that I have tons of competition for the same date, but I’d like to reduce that lag time and wrap it up faster.
Love it! Thank you for all your hard work!
Oh my goodness yes! Thank you for sharing this!
I’ve just watched this and made a few notes along the way on how I will approach my next client meeting.
I read somewhere that a lot of people do their research/browsing (or whatever you want to call it), on their mobile phone. If this is indeed the case, how do you judge how much information to put on your site so people have a pretty good idea what they are going to get before they commit to a meeting?
I’m thinking that 100 words or so on a computer screen, looks very different if viewed on the small screen of a mobile phone. I don’t want the mobile phone users to get word fatigue when viewing my site, but I want to convey enough information so prospective clients are as informed as they can be before they meet me?
Any thoughts, please?
