After running their businesses for a while, many women consultants I talk to feel the strain of juggling too many clients.

They set up their consulting business to be able to use their expertise in a way that fulfills them and helps others. 

But they also want to have a life outside work, to spend time with their family, and do other things that make them happy.

When you’re working too many hours, for not enough money, it’s disheartening (to say the least!). 

Even when you're making good money, if it requires you to work with a whole bunch of clients, it's easy to burn out.

The result? A deep need to work with fewer clients who pay you more, so you can hit your revenue goals without overwork.

There are two ways to approach this. The first is to raise your prices with your existing clients. The second is to raise your prices, and then bring on new clients who can pay them.

In this episode, you'll get to hear a real conversation with one of my clients where we tackle the first phase of this strategy. She opens up about her desire to streamline her client base while increasing her income – and we create a step-by-step approach so she can do just that.

In this eye-opening conversation, you'll hear:

1. Why working with fewer, higher-paying clients can transform your business
2. How to approach pricing conversations with confidence
3. The first steps to take when you're ready to make this change
4. The mindset shifts needed to make this transition

This episode is perfect for you if you’re ready to unlock the next level in your consulting business without adding more stress. Plus, it’ll help you make sure you’re working with the right clients and getting paid for your expertise. Because honestly, that’s the ONLY way to create the business you really want, to support the life you really want to live. 

🎧 Tune in and let me know what resonates most with you (insert link here) I'd love to hear what stands out for you!

To your success,

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.
