    32. 3 Sales Shifts That Helped Me Land High-Paying Clients (Without Feeling Salesy)

    After last week’s faith-filled return, we’re diving straight into something most Virtual Assistants struggle with—sales. But not just any kind of sales… sales that feel aligned, full of integrity, and actually work. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 3 sales shifts that helped me go from undercharging and second-guessing myself to confidently booking high-paying, aligned clients—without feeling pushy, fake, or salesy. This isn’t about learning how to manipulate or close fast—it’s a conversation for the woman who knows her services are valuable but just needs the strategy (and mindset shift) to finally sell them well. In this episode, we talk about: Why trying to convince clients is actually pushing them away The real reason underpricing is hurting your business How to stop selling “admin help” and start positioning your services as transformation How to bring faith and integrity into every sales conversation Encouragement for the woman who wants to grow without becoming someone she’s not Scripture Mentioned:Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Work with Dalaina!Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been a Virtual Assistant for a while, I’d love to help you grow with strategy, confidence, and faith. 📲 DM me the word READY on Instagram @dalainamarkayknight and let’s chat about how I can support you in landing high-paying clients and building a business that honors your purpose and provides for your family.

In this episode, we talk about: Why hustle without God leads to burnout The danger of building a fear-based business What it means to make God the CEO, not the emergency contact Daily faith practices that align with your business goals Encouragement for the woman forcing her way through entrepreneurship Why faith is your foundation, not your fallback Scriptures Mentioned: Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builder’s labor is in vain.” Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Want Support in Your Business?
