If you don't know this about me yet, you probably haven't spent much time with me or with my content, but one of my core values (and blessing/curse of identifying myself as an Enneagram 8) is being authentic/transparent.
I am going to be honest to a fault! I often hear from others things like…. You just say what we are all thinking but are afraid to say out loud.
This is one instance where I am probably being overly transparent, but as someone that wants to help you to cultivate a thriving coaching practice, I want to share it all with you!
So, I uploaded my workshop transcript to Chat GPT (my chat is highly trained and knows me very well) and typed in this:
“Here is my transcript from the workshop. I know that I need to schedule more time 90 rather than 60 minutes and I need to get better at selling. What is my best use of this transcript?”
And the response did not disappoint, but stung a bit in a few places. I won't put it all in here, but this was the beginning….
"First... congratulations.
I'm going to challenge something you said.
"I need to get better at selling."
I don't actually think that's the biggest opportunity.
I think you need to get better at transitioning.
Those are two different skills.
I read through your workshop transcript, and what stood out wasn't that you were bad at selling. It was that your teaching was so generous and relationship-centered that when it came time to invite people into FSA, you almost apologized for having an offer.
That's actually very fixable."
So, I am not claiming to be a sales expert. But I have been practicing the cultivation of my practice for over 5 years. I have access to a lot of information and I am an implementer and will encourage and challenge my clients to implement as well.
If you haven't had a chance to watch the replay, here it is again. You can watch it again and critique my transitions and sales skills. (face-palm) Enjoy!
