4 Essential Keys To Attracting New Clients Consistently

Would you like to know the FASTEST ways to get more followers, more engagement, more trust, and ultimately more paying clients, consistently?

There are 4 powerful methods that I recommend and these are the exact strategies that I personally used to…⠀

* Sell out my programs with my quality clients that I love working with⠀

* Have a steady stream of consistent, ideal clients, without all the stress and confusion and overwhelm

* Grow a 6-figure business as a full-time coach working from home⠀

These are the things that enable you to really move the needle forward in your business, instead of all the little bits and pieces.

Four Things To Attract Clients Consistently:

If you want to have a business where you make 10k or more every single month, there are four main things that I recommend. Only four.

One of the biggest mistakes I see a lot of business owners making when it comes to attracting clients is a lack of focus. A lack of direction and trying to do ALL the things ALL the time, and nothing is really making any type of significant difference to the most important thing in order for us to STAY in business – which is cash flow.

To have a sustainable business, you’ve got to have solid structures set up, so you don’t need to have to rely on a job anymore.

Then you can really trust that your business is providing for you financially, not just covering your expenses, but to have some holidays and lifestyle too, where you can step away from business, and actually have some fun.

I don’t know about you but when I started my business, I would sit at my laptop every morning and before long, I’d have lots and lots of tabs open, and I would be researching, going down rabbit holes, and consuming other people’s content … rather than actually creating my own.

So if you want to stop wasting time on all those things that don’t make a significant difference, it’s time to strip it back to really what works. It gets a whole lot simpler when you focus solely on the things that really matter.

So here are the four things. Get your paper and pen out and get ready to take some notes.

1. Compelling Content

The first thing you need in order to attract clients consistently, you need to have compelling content. You need it. This is not a negotiable thing. Every business who wants to be successful needs to have compelling content.

Compelling content attracts the right people to you. You want people to read your writing and think “I want to work with her, she gets me, she is writing to me, she is speaking my language.”

And it’s really sad people posting content that doesn’t get read because when people post and it doesn’t get read, people think there is something wrong with them.

But nothing is wrong with you. You are amazing. But sometimes the crafting of the language doesn’t hit the mark and the words are raising resistance in people, or actually putting people off.

There are certain phrases we can use to invite people in – really hooky and compelling language, and then there is language that puts up a wall with people. This is what I teach my clients.

80% of your marketing success comes down to your words. How incredible is that! To give all the time we invest in other things in our business when 80% is actually the language we use … and so much of it doesn’t bring the paid in clients.

So much of it doesn’t work to bring in people. So much of your knowledge and expertise in your content is not being seen by people. It’s such a waste.

When you get your content right, when you get your content to be compelling, a whole new world opens up to you, more new opportunities open up for you, it’s like a dog whistle, where you call them in through using the right language.

If you don’t get this in place, your emails don’t get opened, your posts get lost in the newsfeed, and you’re not able to help the people that need it.

It’s pretty heart-breaking, because you have something that can really help people. You have unique brilliance that people need. People are struggling and you have the answers, and the bridge that joins you and your people is your wording.

Crafting compelling content is a skill, there’s a formula to it and you can learn it.

2. Conversion Events

The second key to attract clients consistently is having a conversion event.

The thing that has always gotten me the most clients is running events. There are so many reasons I love events.

Firstly, in order to sign up new clients you need to be able to attract a tribe of people and have them give your time. So, if you’re just sharing content, you’re not getting enough of their attention or time.

When you run events, you get attention on your business so that you can share your message in a way that’s really influential and inspiring.

To run events is the fastest way to attract your ideal clients.

Instead of speaking to one person at a time. If you spoke to 1 person for one hour and you need to do 100 hours, you can speak to 100 people in 100 hours.

But when you run an event, you speak to 100 people in 1 hour. It’s one of the major reasons I love it. I was doing one-on-one for 8 years before I went to 1:many. It means that when you create an event, it becomes an asset.

It’s like a book. Once you do the work, 1000’s of people can benefit from it and once.

The one-to-many model is incredibly leveraged meaning you don’t have to take decades to impact the number of people that you want to find anything that has incredible effects.

Another thing is so many of your competitors aren’t willing to do it, and they are not doing it well, because they don’t know how to do it well.

Most people are petrified of public speaking and when I learned that, I thought, well I am going to run at that.

I had a fear of public speaking as well, but I realised – if I can overcome that, it’s going to be a game-changer. It’s going to open up a whole new world.

And it did. As soon I started running my events, other people invited me to speak at their events, interview me on their podcasts and in their Facebook groups, inviting me to summits … all because you’re positioning changes. It’s a skill. If you can learn it, you can present it to your potential group.

It’s the coolest thing. It really equals freedom. You can go anywhere in the world and make money because you know how to present. Doing it online means you just need a Wi-Fi connection and a laptop and you can make money from anywhere in the world.

The ability to present to a group is not just reserved for people with natural talent. People have said to me “Oh you’re just a natural. I am not a natural at all. I have run over 250 events, it’s just practice. It took me a while to stop being bright read and to stop fumbling my words. It didn’t come naturally, I learned it.

I’m still not obviously not perfect, but you don’t need to be. That’s the best part. You just need to have a willingness to show up and organise your knowledge in a way that’s valuable for people.

I’m sharing my formula in a free event coming up. You can check it out here.

Running an online event allows you to get in front of your ideal clients, get their attention, have them trust you because you’re able to give valuable.

It’s not hard when you follow the formula, you just need a zoom account. It’s one of the cheapest ways to get clients.

The content that I’m sharing at this event took me years of hard work, I put it into a formula and I’m sharing it for free because I want to help as many people with this as possible.

At my event, I show you exactly how to do it, I take you by hand exactly how to do it with my formula and you get a blueprint, so you can launch your own profitable event.

Even if you’ve never done any type of presentation in your life, even if you’re scared of it, I show you how to do it. You just need to organise your knowledge, then show up, stare at a lens and present what you love talking about. It’s super fun! Anyone can do it.

3. Client Attraction Machines

The third key to attract clients consistently is to have a client attraction machine.

If you have lots to do and if you have lots of other things going on in your world, you have got a social life, a family and other things going on and you don’t really want to be glued to your laptop 12 hours a day, the best way to solve that problem is to get clients is to be automated.

You create an automatic system. You build a profitable, scalable asset like a funnel, I call it a client attraction funnel that becomes like a 24/7 sales machine.

So people can sign up with you any time of the day. You have got order forms online, where people can click and buy and you can transact when you’re sleeping or when you’re on your holiday. When you get this your whole business changes.

I used to think that if you set up automation, you don’t always have a beautiful client experience. But that was just a limiting belief.

You can still provide a really valuable client experience – AND be automated. In fact, people want to be buying things or booking on your calendar 24/7.

I have people booking early in the morning when I’m sleeping, or late at night or on a weekend. You don’t want them to call you or text you to go back and forth, you want a way people can be booking in with you.

You also want a way where people can pay you so you have got landing pages.

A funnel is basically a landing page, it’s a web page that you set up. I use click funnels, I love it. It’s one of the best landing page software you can get, it’s super simple to use, it’s elegant and professional and it converts really high.

People put in their name and email and they get an email straight away, they don’t have to wait for you for the next day or two to get back to them.

So it’s a beautiful streamlined process and you can do this while also providing a great experience. The funnel provides a path.

I know some people freak out when they hear the word ‘funnel’ and I did too. I didn’t want to learn all this technology but I have realised it’s actually easy once you learn it.

And when you learn it, you have got the skill for life.

I will be out running and get an idea, and I can get home and create a funnel in just a few hours. I can put up a lead magnet, thank you page, some kind of automation sequence that links to the automation through Email, done in an afternoon.

Eventually, when you have a big team or you have people assisting you, you can delegate things to people – but when you know how to do it yourself, you can do it fast and you can have full control over your business.

If anything goes wrong, you know how to tweak it, it’s crazy when you get this right. It’s one of the most leveraged activities you can do and if you don’t have time to do things manually, it’s perfect for you.

You just need to decide, you’re not going to have this old-school clunky manual business anymore and start taking an automated approach to your business.

It’s incredible because you can generate limitless amount clients from this. You can use that funnel forever, you can put a limitless amount of people through it.

You can run hundreds or thousands of people go through it.

You might be thinking “It sounds like work” and it does require work. But the cool thing about it is, once you’ve done it, you have skill. You can have holidays where you don’t come back to people annoyed at you or have people forgotten about you.

Once I set up the client attraction funnels, I could go to New Zealand regularly, and Port Stephens and Hunter Valley on holiday and people would still book in and I’d still make money consistently. It’s a beautiful thing!

4. Coach And Community

The fourth thing that you need in order to attract clients is a Coach and community.

There’s nothing more valuable in your business than having support. Having support holds us to a higher standard. It holds you actually getting things done.

It’s the one thing in my business that accelerated me faster than anything. Receiving consistent clarity, guidance, and feedback from an expert who has achieved what you want to achieve, who are farther along in the journey.

They can look in your pipeline and say, “this is where the leakages are.  We need to plug that, stop that, tweak that, stop doing that, start doing that”. We all need to have an expert in our business if we want to accelerate our results.

We can’t reach our potential without it.

Like Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google said “Every famous athlete has a coach. One thing people are never good at is seeing things the way other people could see them”.

When you have got an expert looking at your business and saying this is what we need to tweak, it gives you a clear perspective, and ultimately it gives you acceleration.

On my journey as a Coach, I have realised the smartest thing I could do was have someone whose been there done that’ and actually understands my business and can show me how to make it together and get these pieces in place.

I call these fast lane activities.  If you imagine your business like being a road. You can be in the slow lane, middle lane, the fast lane or you can be on the footpath. And a lot of people on the footpath are walking really slow things in the business, doing things like tweaking their logo, or the shade of their colours, or things that don’t really matter.

When you get these fast lane activities in place and you build, what I call fully built bridges… instead of just lots of half-built bridges, where you start something and don’t finish…

When you build these full bridges, yes they take time, but once you have got them in place, you are setting yourself in solid sustainable business.

So, if you want to attract more people who want to invest in your services, if you want to get the answers to your business questions that you’re stuck on and you want to attract clients to you consistently with ease, I’d love to be that mentor for you.

If you know it’s time to start making the impact in the world that you’re here to make and the income you deserve, in my upcoming event I dive deeper into these four strategies, I’ll show you exactly how to do them all.

I dive into the HOW… how you can actually put this into place. I’ll show you:

  • How to create compelling content, all the elements that need to go into it
  • How to create profitable conversion events and the exact steps to do it
  • How to create a client attraction machine, even if you’re not tech-savvy. Anyone can learn it and I show you step-by-step what to do.

Plus you get support directly from me, and with a like-minded, inspiring community.

So if you like to join us, it’s happening on Saturday, May 15th. We’ll be diving deep into what I talked all about tonight so you can attract a steady stream of quality clients and fast-track your business growth. I’d love to see you there!

7 Mistakes People Make When Running Online Events

Have you ever thought that you’d like to run online events?

Do you currently run online events and would like to make them better?

Running online events, like webinars or virtual workshops, is one of the fastest ways to attract your ideal clients, especially right now.

Having run over 100 online events, each one getting me clearer and clearer on what works, I’ve tested and measured the best ways to do them effectively and successfully.

There are so many things that you have to think through prior to an online event, like how to best use technology, what marketing to do, how to effectively structure your talk, and how to get people to turn up for your event.

Over the years working with so many different people, I’ve noticed that there are 7 core mistakes that people make when it comes to running online events.

There are some critical things that people get wrong and in this video and article, I unpack them, so you can avoid making the same mistakes.

Before I go into the 7 main mistakes, I want to first share with you 4 reasons why running online events is SO effective:

1 – Online Events Help You Grow Your Email List

Your email list – your database of people – is one of your most valuable assets in business. Obviously we don’t own anyone’s details on social media, Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn, so it’s important to build your list.

We do this by having landing pages where people can opt in to your event, so that you now have their email address so you can continue to give them value and share other offers with them.

There are always people who sign up for a workshop and don’t turn up, but you’ve got their details and you can continue marketing to them and nurturing them in the future.

2 – With Online Events You Can Speak to More People at One Time

If you’re only ever doing one-on-one coaching, you’re very limited to the impact that you can have.

If you want to make more money, help more people faster, have a bigger reach and make a difference to more people, then online events are a beautiful way to do it.

3 – Online Events Can Help You Get People’s Attention Fast

Holding online events it’s a fast way to get and hold people’s attention. It’s very hard to hold someone’s attention by just a social media post, a blog or even a Facebook Live video.

If you run an event people get to know you, like you, trust you and build rapport with you because they have longer exposure to you, so you can inspire and educate them.

4 – Online Events Raise Your Positioning and Credibility

Your positioning and credibility are increased because not everyone is willing to take the risk of putting themselves out there.

If you’re willing to do this, it puts you more in the position of being an expert. It also enables you to educate and inspire people to take action.

Not everyone’s ready to buy straight away and they need your education so they will see the benefit they will receive when they make a change in their life.

A lot of people are resistant to change, so you can use events to educate people and them overcome their limiting beliefs.

Running online and live events has opened up so many opportunities for me and I get most of my clients through running events.

Online events are not going to go away, in fact they will only grow and ramp up – so now is the time to get in!

Now you know WHY you should be holding online events, here are the 7 mistakes I’ve found people make when running online events:
1 – Not Tailoring the Talk to the Audience

When running online events, I’ve noticed that some people speak on what they want to share, but what is so important is that you tailor the message to your ideal clients.

So you’re not being general or broad, but you’re solving the exact problems that your ideal client has.

I’ve never given a talk where I haven’t asked people for some prior input, like a survey. I’ve asked them what they want to learn about, what their main challenges are, what their dreams and goals are.

At one company I spoke at, I had one of the board of directors sit down and interview all of the instructors and staff. I listened to the recordings and created the talk based on that.

You don’t want to try and just wing it and guess.

If you are giving people what they want, if you’re speaking their language, then they’re going to get so much value from it.

You need to do your research by talking to people, going to networking events, seminars and talking to and listening to people to find out their needs.

You can poll your Facebook community, get people to complete a survey before a coaching session or at the end of a workshop or webinar.

2 – Failing to Set Frames

A frame is something that you build an idea around that you want people to have. For example, when people come to an event, you’ve got to quickly set the frame so everybody is sitting within the same frame.

There’s different types of frames, and they can include things like; the rules about the event, how you want people to behave within the event, and also beliefs that you want people to have through the event.

When people come to my workshops or my webinars, I always have a slide that says, ‘I’ve been at the top like the most successful people’. And then I’ll give a list of things that successful people do.

I put things like, ‘Successful people show up ready to learn, they stay focused, they take lots of notes…’

I’ll read through this list and that is setting a frame of how I want people to show up in that event. And if I miss that slide the event can be a bit chaotic.

I don’t want people to come and just be chilling out. If they have a question I want them to write it down, or put their hand up or write it in the chat box.

There are also frames are around how you want people to behave. There are also logistical frames, so I always have a slide that talks about making this a world-class learning environment and that we keep everyone’s information confidential.

I also let people know they will be put in breakout rooms. There’s also a disclaimer about being able to have participant’s photos taken and things like that, so you set all those frames at the beginning.

The other frames that are really important to mention are beliefs that you want your participants to have. Often I will show my private community Inner Circle’s manifesto which says ‘In the Inner Circle, we are on-mission action-takers. We operate from a growth mindset, we free ourselves from blame, excuses, and denial, we choose to value people, contribute, pursue our vision and loads of fun…’ etc.

This is setting the ‘frame’ that shows participants that in this event, we don’t focus on our excuses, we have an entrepreneurial mindset – we show up, we give things a go, we never give up and we see challenges as an opportunity.

3 – Not Adding Enough Value

I find that people often will not plan their event enough, where they give people ideas or concepts that they haven’t heard before, or they maybe haven’t heard it in a sort of way before. They haven’t really thought through what’s going to be truly valuable.

Value is what gets someone to take an action right away. Are the facts you’re presenting inspiring and educating enough to make people take action? If not, then it’s not valuable.

Value also means spending time practicing, thinking through what is going to be really useful for people. People love examples and stories of others who have taken a concept and put it into action in their life.

People also love templates and they want their questions answered. They want to be able to share with other people. This is all part of adding value.

Value is not squeezing in the content. I once heard someone say that if you squeeze in the content, you squeeze the audience out!

You want to make sure that your content is valuable, that people can apply it right away. And you need to give people plenty of time to think through things also, so they can digest the toolkit of ideas you’ve given them.

4 – Giving Away Too Much Information

This is probably the one that I have found the hardest. I just want to share so much of what I know because I’ve studied this stuff for over a decade and I’ve been in business for 17 years.

If you give too much information, it could be like standing in front of a fire hose to get a cup of water. It’s actually doing your audience a disservice if you give away too much information, because they can’t apply it.

If you say to your audience that they will learn all they need to know from this event, they will leave thinking they know everything and that’s not possible, so it’s doing them a disservice. They also won’t buy from you because they’ve got everything they need.

You also need to create curiosity. It’s called the Zeigarnik Effect and it’s about opening loops in people’s minds, where they actually realise they’ve got to spend more time with you as the educator.

Show them how many hours worth of knowledge there is to know about that subject and one way they can get that knowledge is through using your coaching.

5 – Speaking Without Structure

People want organised knowledge and people pay for organised knowledge. When you’re creating an event and you show up and try and pour out everything you know about the topic, that is a mistake.

You don’t want to just give people a whole heap of content or information and leave people to have to figure out what to do with it. You want to make it digestible and palatable for them, by breaking it down into steps or pillars.

The best speakers in the world have organised the information into a structure. If you think that they’re just winging it and speaking intuitively, believe me – they’re not.

It’s also good to refer people back to the beginning of your talk. You don’t just take them from here all the way from the start to finish, it’s good show them where they are in the system.

You also want to make sure that when you’re delivering your content, you use diagrams and images, so people can see a clear visual of what you’re explaining and show how things fit together.

6 – Being Unprofessional

This goes without saying, we all know that we need to be professional, but what does that look like?

Being professional means:

  • Having a nice quiet environment and making sure your audio is good and clear with no background noise
  • Making sure that you’ve got a good lighting system
  • Setting your computer or tablet up at eye level
  • Making sure you start on time
  • Ensuring you have nice professional PowerPoints, if you’re using slides
  • Practicing your talk before you deliver it

All of this is part of being professional.

This doesn’t mean you can’t be personable though. It really helps to add humour and your personality and flavour to it. Professionalism is not perfectionism. It about giving the most value while still being yourself.

Remember that everyone who comes to your online event or talk knows at least 50 close people that they can potentially refer you to.

Always be thinking that it’s not just the people that show up, but those people potentially know 50 others that you can reach.

Even if just 2 people show up, always give those 2 people your 100%, because if one person makes a change from what you’ve shared, it’s worth it right? And they will tell their friends.

7 – Focusing Too Much on Themselves

People are so self-conscious, they put off running events because they’re so concerned about what people might think of them and they are scared of judgment.

There are fears around if the technology doesn’t work and fears if no one turns up. I’ve had all these fears and different limiting beliefs myself.

Instead of focusing on the fears, focus on the good result possible, not the negatives.

I’m completely detached from who comes to my events. I care about the people attending as people, of course, but I believe that whoever turns up are the people who are meant to be there.

I don’t focus on money, I focus on doing your best work and preparing well for the event and give it your all.

I put aside days and days to create my events. I give myself feedback after events on all the things I could do better next time and I take on board all the feedback that I get from people who attended.

Turn the focus away from yourself and onto focusing on the value you can offer people.

That’s how you grow your business.

Here’s a review of 7 mistakes people make when running online events:

1 – Not Tailoring the Talk to the Audience

2 – Failing to Set Frames

3 – Not Adding Enough Value

4 – Giving Away Too Much Information

5 – Speaking Without Structure

6 – Being Unprofessional

7 – Focusing Too Much on Themselves
