How to go from scrambling to organized

Hi! You’re here because you’re a woman who runs an independent consulting business, and you want to learn how to make it more profitable. In our world, that means doing more of the work you love, with the clients you enjoy, and getting paid for your value, not your time.

Here, you'll discover effective strategies to implement in your consulting business, as well as hear inspiring stories from other smart and successful women who are also running their own consulting businesses. Along the way, you’ll learn that you can build the consulting business you want, that lets you live the life you want, and you’re not alone. 

I'm glad you're here! Let's dive in.

“Reinventing the wheel”

“Making it up every time”

“Scrambling to figure it out”

When you’re trying to do marketing, get new clients, and help the clients you’re talking to say yes, it can feel like you’re constantly scrambling. And when you’re scrambling, you can feel disorganized and out of control.

But that’s not even the worst part: scrambling can actually keep you from being able to help clients say yes.

In this episode, you’ll hear me talk to a client who’s talking to a number of clients, but she feels disorganized in the process.

And as she grows her business, wants to work part-time, and be present for her young child, she wants to identify ways to stay organized and work smarter, not harder.

In this week's episode, you'll hear how my client went from feeling like she was recreating the wheel and scrambling in her business, to starting to get organized.

Hi! I'm Leah Neaderthal. I'm a sales coach for women consultants and the founder of Smart Gets Paid.

When I left my corporate career and started my first consulting business, I learned three things very quickly:

1- It’s 1000x harder to sell your own stuff than to sell someone else’s.

2- Marketing is not selling.

3- I had no idea how to sell.

I needed clients, but I didn’t know how to actually get them, and I was terrified of coming off like a used car salesman. It made me doubt whether I was even cut out to run a business.

So I taught myself how to get new clients in a way that feels authentic, allows me to be myself, and that works consistently. I now teach these techniques to others. Because I know it’s possible to learn how to land clients, and actually feel comfortable doing it, once you know how.
