Katie McManus shares five moves she made to land higher-paying clients: dressing better for calls, posting sales content without guilt, publishing more often, collecting testimonials from favorite clients, and starting a niche podcast for ADHD business owners.
Here are five things I did to start attracting more high paying clients and hi, I help ADHD business owners make more money in less time with fewer distractions. I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach. Number one, I kind of hate saying but it's so true. I started dressing nicer. I know we all during the pandemic got sucked into wearing soft pants and like kind of like the same top over and over and over and over again. I found that I was feeling stale while I was wearing those clothes. So when I started revamping my wardrobe and like adding some accessories, I found that I was bring all this new energy into my calls and I saw it in my bank account, it made a massive difference and I started attracting my sole clients to work with me. Now number two is something that people are so uncomfortable with and it's I got really comfortable doing salesy posts. Now I will acknowledge that there's the smarmy way of doing salesy posts and then there's the ethical way of doing salesy posts. I'm very much in the ethical camp, but I stopped worrying that people would get like annoyed with me if I always had a call to action to book a sales call with me. And it worked. Number three is that I stopped worrying about everything being perfect. I found that I was getting in this unhealthy loop of like holding myself back from publishing the thing because it wasn't right yet. And what ultimately happened is I had like all this content and all this stuff that I wasn't publishing because it wasn't good enough yet. Well, guess what, I started publishing it and it was fine. And also when I stopped waiting for things to be perfect, it took me so much less time to do stuff. Also, can we just talk about how perfect, like is not actually a thing. There's no standard for perfect. Like they invented a car way back in the day and like it's not like they've come up with the perfect car yet. They're still iterating and making it better. Number four was I started asking my absolute favorite clients for testimonials because I find that when you use a testimonial from a client that you really enjoyed working with, you tend to attract more clients exactly like that person. And number five, I do not recommend this to people who are just starting out. This is something that you should do years into starting your business. But I started a podcast, it's called the Weeniecast and it's for ADHD business owners to be better in their business and I have so much fun with it. And the absolute coolest thing about this is that I got to access this whole new audience because the people that discovered me on the podcast sites never would have discovered me on the social media sites. And that's how I started attracting more high paying clients. And it's how you can too now like and follow if this is helpful.
