Making Confident Decisions using the Clarity Quadrant

Apr 28, 2020

Making Confident Decisions using the Clarity Quadrant (use this for yourself or as a tool with your clients).

During these uncertain times, a person is only ever going to be about 65% confident about a decision they’re making.

Right now, we’re in this odd “in between” time – still in quarantine, there’s talk beginning about emerging, others want to stay in lockdown…

Clarity is going to be harder to come by in the near future.

I’ve used this Clarity Quadrant as a business opportunity filter in my own business and life. We’ve also used it with our own clients during different programs we promote (Accelerator graduates, you’ve seen this before). Using a scale and a quadrant system like this can help clear away the uncertainty and find the next best step for yourself in any given moment.

As you continue to pivot your business, use this quadrant for clarity in direction.

As you work with your clients, use this quadrant with them to help them get clear in their next best. Even use this as a decision making tool in your enrollment conversations.

I’ve stripped away our branding so you are free to use this as you wish for yourself and your business. It’s been a valuable tool for my business and I think it can be for yours as well during these times.

How to pivot enrollment conversations!

Apr 24, 2020

There are two very important questions you must know the answer to in order to pivot how you talk to prospects and potential clients.

With today’s times, the foundation of these enrollment conversations still remain the same. There are a few nuances that you must integrate. I share those in this FB Live training.

Compassion
Curiosity
Certainty

Those are the three things that you must bring to each call you have with a potential client. I’ll talk about each of those in this training.

I know, I can hear you now… “Melinda, how can I convey certainty when I don’t even feel certain?” – I’ll cover that too!

PLUS…
I’m going to give you the “Pivoting Enrollment Framework”

Enrollment conversations have always been a sticky point for entreprenuers… adding in these trying times and it could have any coach backing away from getting new clients.

That’s why I want you to have this bit of information so you too can feel better about enrolling new clients!

Keys To Creating Clarity & Business Immunity in Challenging Times

Apr 16, 2020

Now, with this COVID pandemic and unprecedented times, we’ve had to make some pivots in our lives and business and I’m sure you have too.

How to Pivot Your Offers and Feel Confident About Selling Right Now

Apr 15, 2020

One of the things I’ve been hearing the most from people is around the topic of selling right now. It seems the further we get into this pandemic and quarantine … the more divided people seem to be on this topic.

Earlier this week I was talking with some colleagues and one was adamant that no one should be selling right now – her belief is that no one is able to make money during a pandemic like this (because she believes no one is spending money with all the fears out there). As a result of those fears, she’s giving all of her coaching away for free.

Interesting perspective.

On the other side of the spectrum, I was chatting with different colleagues this week and they’re absolutely selling… with some modifications for sure!

Before you decide where you fall on that spectrum, listen to what I have to share with you.

I’ve been seeing WAY too many people “crumble” and give away their services out of fear! Now… if you want to give your services for free, by all means, that’s awesome. I just ask that you do it from a conscious decision and from your heart; not your fears.

I think today’s topic will help you know what’s right for your business and how to pivot your offers (whether you offer them for free, or for a fee or a combination of both).

I’ll share with you:

  • 6 ways you can pivot your offers
  • Multiple ways you can offer lower prices options without having to give away your services (or discount your pricing)
  • 1 easy thing you can do TODAY to immediately offer a DIY course to your prospects and clients (actually we’ve done the grunt work for you – you just have to send an email)

Apr 14, 2020

It’s time for a huge celebration in the midst of everything going on. Just because things are rapidly changing, there’s so much uncertainty in the world with the COVID-19 Pandemic, that doesn’t mean we can’t still have massive celebrations… in fact, I believe the more we can find to celebrate, the more we can shift the energy and mindset we’re experiencing.

You met the top 3 finalists of our annual We Launch You Contest last week… you heard their stories… witnessed their journeys… related to their experiences…

Some of your responses after hearing their interviews:

  • “..all three finalists bursted through ceilings they did not even realize were there at the beginning of the program. And, the ripple effect NOW…the momentum they have created in their lives and businesses…that’s what is spreading out over the whole world…”
  • “… your clients have grown and been equipped by you and I am so glad you have broken through the volunteer to Entrepreneur mindset!”

And now it’s time… I must announce the winner!
