We’re Interrupting this Broadcast for Two Very Important Messages
First, we’ve got a live seminar coming up and want you to have a jump on the few remaining seats.
The Sacred Moment
How to talk to potential clients with integrity and heart, and still get paid.
Every spring we teach our two-day seminar on the Sacred Moment of the sale. You know, those conversations with interested potential clients. The ones where they look interested, tell you, “I’ll think about it,” and then disappear forever.
The failed sales conversation is probably one of the more painful moments in business. Especially when you know you could really help the person, and that it was your nervousness and inability to really connect at the crucial moment when you ask someone to buy from you that sucked the air out.
Our seminar is deeply healing, transformational, and effective. And it’s already two-thirds full.
Members of our year-long Opening the Moneyflow course have taken up about 40 of the sixty available spots. Until Wednesday February 10, though, we’re giving you all, our close-in community, dibs on the remaining spots before we announce it to the thousands of people on our email list, and networks.
Check it out for yourself: The Sacred Moment Seminar
Things to know: It’s about half the price it was last year. Why? Because we now have the support to include many more people in it. In the past we’ve always had 20 or fewer people, this time we’re going to include around 60. That enables us to charge a lot less.
Other things to know: it’s very interactive and hands-on for the participants. I do rounds of teaching to give you the framework. And then you work with it together in small groups. People come out of the seminar with new knowledge and experience in their bones that they can put to use immediately.
The seminar also addresses really foundational issues beyond the sales conversation, like how to craft an offer that your clients would actually want and how to price from the heart, so you feel good about what you receive and your client feels good about what they pay.
Please join us. It’s a beautiful seminar, and a really nourishing way to learn how to get paid for your work.
Read the sales page, and if you have any questions, please ask.

Article: How to Avoid Chasing Down the “I’ll Think About Its”
