🌟 Stay Connected, Stay Successful! 🌟 Hey everyone! LaDonna here, your go-to business coach. 🚀 One crucial lesson I've learned in helping professionals grow is this: Listening is everything!

Tailors Solutions: Shape your services to address their specific challenges. Builds Trust: Show that you value their input and care about their success.

Would YOU be your own referral partner? Would you say yes to yourself? Do you work as hard as you'd like your referral partner to be? Are you as creative?

HOW you show up to people and the FEELING they get from your online, and in-person, presence can change everything.

We all know the struggle: you want to stay on their list, but you don’t want to come off as too eager or salesy. Here are three tips to strike that perfect balance: 🚀 Focus on Genuine Curiosity > Instead of diving straight into a pitch, ask a thoughtful question. > Reference something you discussed previously. > This shows you care about the relationship, not just the transaction. > People appreciate a coach who listens. 🚀 Share Valuable Insights > Use your expertise to provide something useful. > Whether it’s an article, a tool, or a tip, share it! > Make it relevant to their needs. > This positions you as a helpful resource rather than just a seller. 🚀 Keep it Light and Casual > Your tone matters! > Approach your follow-ups with a friendly vibe. > A casual “Hey, just checking in” feels way less heavy than a formal reminder. > It’s all about creating a comfortable space for conversation. Remember, follow-ups are about building relationships. You’re not just a business coach; you’re a partner in their journey. Get the Clarity You Need!

If you want to make £10k a month online, start with this… You must know your numbers and then reverse engineer them. Saying £10k a month is one thing, executing is another. Most people own a job, not a business. The more clients they get, the more work that is required. This leads to burnout, not being able to take on new clients and missing key elements for growth. For most service-based business owners this can be achieved if you charge your worth. I would suggest building out your offer and charging £2k minimum for your packages. £10k a month means you need 5 clients. Here’s an example: To get 5 clients you might need to have 10 sales calls. To have 10 sales calls you need 20-30 conversations. To have 20-30 conversations you might need to send 75 direct messages. So the new target is to send 75 messages to ideal clients. 2-3 each day. Or, 20 a day for a few days with hyper-focused work. Stop posting and ghosting and stop posting and hoping. That doesn’t mean you must text your next-door neighbour's grandma asking if they want coaching. Be intentional. Not sure how to do any of this?

Do you ever find yourself struggling to start a conversation at an event? Many entrepreneurs and business owners find small talk to be uncomfortable and often avoid it. Picture this: you’re at a networking event, and the room is buzzing with chatter. You want to join in, but you find yourself holding back, unsure of what to say. Here's an approach you can try… Start with a simple and genuine question or comment about the situation. Research shows that this can lead to deeper and more meaningful conversations. LinkedIn emphasises the importance of body language, including gestures that show attentiveness and open communication. By initiating small talk, you can build the trust needed for more significant business discussions. Remember, everyone is human, and most people appreciate a warm, genuine conversation. Transform your small talk into big opportunities. #NetworkingSkills #SmallTalk #BusinessConnections #EntrepreneurTips #ProfessionalNetworking

How do you feel about being visible? Would you rather avoid networking drinks or lunches then turn up and talk about who you are and what you do? I get it! And if you are naturally introverted like me (yes really!) the pull to stay in the background, to not be 'out there' can sometimes be very strong! But, after nearly 8 years of running my own business, this is what I have learnt.... 1. No-one knows what you do and how you can help them unless you tell them. Simple but painstakingly true. 2. People really do buy people - relationships are everything! 3. You reap what you sow. If you consistently show up as yourself, you will attract the right clients 4. Being visible gets easier with practice! I can now walk into a room full of people I don't know and start a conversation or spend half a day in front of the camera recording videos explaining what I do 👏 🔸I truly believe that visibility is a choice 🔸 And it doesn't need to be icky if you remember to just be yourself. Agree? #executivecoach #coachingtips #personaldevelopment
