If there’s one idea that can make selling your services to corporate clients significantly easier, it’s this: It’s easier to sell a painkiller than a vitamin.
In this episode, I unpack what that means for executive coaches and why you might struggle to gain traction with your offers., Not because they aren’t valuable, but because they’re positioned around potential future gains and achievements instead of solving current challenges. Listen in for my take on how you can use this idea to make your offers sales-ready. Plus, I share a personal example of where I got this wrong and what it taught me about marketing my offers more effectively without changing the work itself.
