    38: [coaching] Exploring a Signature Offer with Jenny Kontos

    ***Currently reviewing applications for 2025 1:1 Coaching and Impact Collective Mastermind!*** The majority of consultants start off as GENERALISTS and over time find they need to POSITION themselves as an expert in the marketplace by either "specializing" by the services they offer or by "niching" the clients they serve AND in some cases they do both. Jenny Kontos niched her marketing agency, Hillhouse Creative, in 2021 to only serve established nonprofit clients and this streamlined many of her business development activities and focused her team. In this coaching session, I surprise Jenny by suggesting she position her business further by SPECIALIZING her services with a signature offer. We discuss the pros and cons of this shift, strategies for client acquisition, and the importance of maintaining long-term client relationships plus best next steps. Spoiler alert: changing your positioning for your NEXT clients does not need to impact your current and favorite clients!

    35: 5 Watchouts for a High Ticket Project

    ***Currently reviewing applications for 2025 1:1 Coaching and Impact Collective Mastermind!***   High ticket projects which I define it as a project anywhere from $25K to $300K and everything in between require more sophistication in several areas to protect yourself as a business owner. High ticket projects are normally delivered over the course of several months and for multi-six figure projects, those can extend beyond a year and even up to 3 years. While the big project numbers I just shared likely sounds amazing, there are several things that make this type of business more complicated. I have 5 watchouts to cover with you in this training episode. 1) Longer Sales Cycle 2) Pricing 3) Scope Creep 4) Project Management 5) Advance Cash Flow Techniques Required This episode is an example of things that I help my clients with regularly and demonstrates how I teach and train.
