If you are like, ummm ALL business owners, if you want to increase your revenue then you either need to sell more products, book more clients, or increase your prices. And contrary to many business coaches, I do NOT think that raising prices or even doubling prices is the fix to your problems. Sometimes, we need to either get better at what we are doing (helllooooo workflow and productivity hacks) OR increase our audience and clientele!

Here are 6 Easy Steps to Get More Clients with Less Time and Less Hustle

1. Fix your mindset around selling or getting clients

• Hi. I’m gonna be blunt, if you believe that selling is sleazy then you will never be successful in business.
• The more you learn to truly believe that your God-given gifts are just that, GIFTS that will bless those you serve, the more comfortable you will be selling

2. Let God get involved!

• Pray for the right clients at the right time
• Listen to your gut, be ok with letting Holy Spirit tell you “they are not the client for you.” Or “not right now”
• Trust me, in the end, you will never regret listening to God here. I made the mistake of not listening once and was SO frustrated the whole time.

3. Look at your current client experience

• I am not one that says you need to have ALL the aspects of the back end of your business, email funnels, thank you gifts, and client management system all perfect and polished before you start your business. And while I DO think that those are valuable upgrades, at some point, people care much more about just getting a quality service and the fact that you do what you said you were going to do than they do about a professional onboarding packet.
• You need to weigh the time investment and money investment into any and all Improvements to your client experience.

4. How much more work can you realistically handle and what kind of work?

• A while back I did a very non-typical Faith thing and I made a spreadsheet breaking down all my services, how long each package took, the revenue, and how many hours per month and week I could work. It truly was a GREAT way to figure out how much more work and what kind of work I could realistically handle!
• I cannot speak highly enough of all the amazing things I have learned in SYLA from Chelsi Jo! Seriously, my workflow is GANGBUSTERS and I have a dang good grasp on how much time everything takes me because of the systems that she teaches. Workflow and time management.
