What was memorable were the chipmunk cheeks I developed as a severe reaction to the surgery It was that very first slice of banana pudding cake that did it. The summer before college, I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. But that wasnât the memorable part. (No funny antics while under anesthesia.) What was memorable were the chipmunk cheeks I developed as a severe reaction to the surgery. Which meant that for a month, all my breakfasts, lunches, and dinners were poured into my momâs heavy-duty blender and liquified into an unappetizing brownish-greenish goo. Butâ¦it was worth it. I stepped onto the Princeton campus so skinny I could finally fit into my super cute khaki cargo flare pants that told the world that Luisa, the most stylish of college students, was here now. (Lol.) Too bad just a few months later, by Winter Break, those pants no longer fit. Because every Tuesday Snack & Studyâwhere the cafeteria provided the snacks and you were supposed to provide the studying (except I somehow missed the memo about that part)âsitting in the middle of the snack table and whispering my name, would be that irresistible banana pudding cake. The first few times, I only took one slice. But after a month of Snack & Studyâs, as the homesickness and the pressure of being in over my head academically started piling up, I started going back for a second piece. And it was so good that before I knew it, I was eating the whole cake. The funny thing is, I didnât even like bananas that much! Thus, cue what I said at the beginning of this email: âIt was that very first slice of banana pudding cake that did it.â It was just too good. Point being⦠One of the best things you can do for yourself as a new coach? Banana pudding cake slice your way into your clientâs hearts. There are obvious and not-so-obvious reasons to do this: * You show that you CAN actually help that person, which eliminates a lot of common price objections. Especially for new coaches. * It helps you get clients faster (by essentially condensing the âget to know and trust youâ process) * You build YOUR confidence -- in your ability to deliver, your value, and thus the price you can charge too How can you do this? One of my favorite ways is via an âintensive:â - 2 to 4 hours of virtual coaching on a specific topic
- Priced from $300 to $1,500
- 2 weeks of email support after the intensive
- One 30-minute follow-up call at the end of the 2 weeks Oh, and possibly the biggest benefit? Itâs often easier to sell your full coaching package after a good intensive. (AKA by making your banana pudding cake slice so good they have to get the whole cake.) And it works pretty darn well, as Jacquelynn, one of my ETEâers, found for herself. She quickly put together an Intensive and made three sales. After the intensive, one person bought her $5,000 coaching package!... âI was inspired to quickly put together a Clarity Breakthrough Intensive session for $397 and had a client enrolled. Because of the massive value I delivered during that session, he ended up also enrolling into my 3-month 1:1 program afterwards!! :) Since then, I've also taken 2 other clients through my Clarity Breakthrough intensive and was able to deliver so much massive value from it as well!â Thatâs not the end of it either. A few weeks later, she let us know: âI just enrolled another client into my $5K three month 1:1 coaching program earlier todayâ¦Thanks so much!â One of our top priorities with Employee to Entrepreneur is to help you get your first paying clients as soon as possible. Because Employee to Entrepreneur is all about helping you build a real business where YOU are in control. Which means getting your first paying clients asap. Not waiting for them to come to you. Since, *surprise*, until you do, you donât have a business. Or bragging rights to call yourself an âEntrepreneur.â ;) Thatâs important too. And if you could use a little inspiration... That no matter what obstacles you are facing, results like this are possible for you too? Well, let me share some deets about Jacquelynnâs situation... First, Jacquelynn is a Life Coach for professionals. Not an industry that immediately comes to mind when you think of selling a $5,000 package. As a new coach, to boot. â AKA no matter what industry youâre in, you can build a great business. Whatâs more, she actually initially struggled to even sell a $1,500 package! She didnât give up though. On herself or on her belief in the Employee to Entrepreneur process. â AKA just because you donât get *immediate* results or donât feel confident doesnât mean youâre not going to get results. (In fact, like for Jacquelynn, your initial results could end up being even better than youâd hoped for.) She continued following the steps, created a quick intensive offer (just one of the strategies I teach in my Ultimate Guide to Getting Sales Calls PDF in the course), and...here we are. Itâs not a coincidence that so many ETEâers get their first client at $2,000+ prices, often in less than 30 days. (FYI: This doesnât mean itâs guaranteed for you. The process works but you have to put in the work.) And Iâm pretty sure that Employee to Entrepreneur can help you do the same too.

(Itâs in the ETE Bonuses section under âBonus Client Blueprints.â) The Bonus Blueprints show you HOW real people have implemented the ETE strategies to get clients. That includes how⦠- One coach got a $10,000 client from one social media post
- Another coach got her first executive clientâa CFO she didnât even know!
- A new and unconfident relationship coach made her first saleâfor $2,000âwithin 2 weeks of join ETE ...And more.
