You don’t want to be tied to meetings and phone calls.

This is all possible in today’s online marketplace.

Maybe you already have a great online business but you’re struggling with consistency, overwhelm or growth.

In part 1 of this 3 part series, I’m going to share some of my best advice for mom’s providing 1-on-1 services (or those wanting to!)

Online businesses progress through many phases.  And each requires a new strategy and tactics.  Over the next 3 Episodes, I’m going to share my best advice in these 3 phases of online business:

1. All one-on-one services (the fastest path to cash)
2. Moving from one-on-one to one-to-many services (introducing packages, group programs, online courses / memberships)
3. Scaling your online business (growing revenue and profitability in your membership or online course)

The fastest path to income is one-on-one services.
VA work.  Professional freelancers (writers, designers, techies).  Or even coaching others.

Contracts aren’t scary!  They are your friends.

My Best Advice about Contracts:

• Always have one for one-on-one work (it can be a simple Scope of Work – training in the Collective)
• Keep it simple.  Your initial contract can be a 30 day trial period so you can readjust based on experience.
• Set and review contracts every 3 months due to this fast changing environment

Increasing Rates is the fastest way to increase income and can happen every 3-6 months in this fast moving world.

I’m getting calls but I’m not getting business!

3 Essentials to closing your one-on-one offers

• Give a deadline and clear next step “I’m booking up June.  Can you confirm with me by next Tuesday if You’d like me to reserve a space for you?”
• Be clear about your offer and your rates.  If you can’t on the phone, follow up immediately in writing within 1 day.
• Be professional AND personable.  Making a relational connection can be the deal winner in a market with a lot of choices.

My Best Advice About Rate Increases:

• Quote all new work at the new rate
• Set expectations for current clients when ready to shift rates
• Wait until you have enough new clients at the new rate then offer existing clients to continue at the new rate or be ready to drop them.
