EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY™ FOR COACHES AND SPEAKERS
Being a solo-preneur is hard enough. The work all falls to you. There is always more work to do than time to do it in.
Too often we make it harder by not thinking about our most important conversations until we’re in the middle of them. In this presentation, Marc will show you exactly what to say and exactly how to do the relationship building in ways that increase your morale and effectiveness.
You'll leave this session with:
- a strategy for consistently increasing sales opportunities
- exact words to use in the most stressful conversations you experience
- a system for strategizing your work around your strengths
- a way to plan your work that helps you navigate the overwhelm
