No More Fluff: Get Clients Now

Season 17, Ep. 1

Avoid the Fluff & Get Clients NOW!!


It's easy to slide down the "rabbit hole" of doing, doing, doing. . .


Doing more social posts

Doing more to our graphics (or getting new headshots)

Doing more edits on our website


There is a time and a place for those activities…


But NOT if you are wondering where your next client is coming from or if you are struggling to pay the mortgage this month.


One day, I bought a book off of Amazon and on the back was a website. The website had me fill out my name and email in exchange for a download that went along with the book. The next few weeks I started getting emails from a coach.


This was my first foray into doing business virtually in a global economy.


I started going into Facebook groups and connecting with other women business owners. Some were virtual assistants, freelance writers and many were starting their coaching businesses. I got on the phone with a few and was horrified at what I heard. They had beautiful branding and gorgeous websites but they were going out of business.


I even tried to hire a few of them but they would talk and talk and talk about themselves and NEVER ask specific questions. They would drone on about what they did but NEVER establish their value. It was straight out of a sales training nightmare. They were smart and great at their work but STARVING because they were trying to live off of referrals. They believed that MORE marketing was the answer. Spoiler alert: it's not.


The biggest problem I saw everyone making (those who were complaining that they had no clients or customers) was that they were doing all of the steps OUT OF ORDER.


They understood business. They were wicked smart. I kept asking myself "How were they missing this???".


Then I started to realize that the online space can play on your worst fears and press on your self-doubt like no other space. With custom-made news feeds that show you exactly what you've expressed interest in, you only see your LACK and it can feel like EVERYONE else has already DONE what you are just setting out to do and ... they are doing it better (or at least it can FEEL that way).


It's not your fault if you feel defeated.


There is so much PRESSURE to do more, show up more, be more visible that the actual REASON you wanted to start your business in the first place can get lost. You wanted to SHARE. You wanted to SERVE. You wanted to SUPPORT. But all you are getting is exhausted trying to KEEP UP.


There IS a better way.


You can AVOID all of the fluff and get clients NOW. This week.


I shared an example of yet another client who did it AGAIN just this PAST week. 

This is the drum I have been beating for YEARS!!


No list, no website, no problem: get clients now.

  • 3. #1 Difference Between Gross and Awesome Selling Tactics

    08:24
    The #1 Difference Between Gross and Awesome Selling TacticsThere are a thousand ways to make money and whether it’s a DM or a funnel or an ad or a webinar or a VSL or a Free CHALLENGE, there will always be a segment of the market that does it GROSS and others that do it really well and everyone LOOVES it.So what’s the difference between GROSS and awesome?For me, no matter which method I use, it always always always always starts with my true INTENTION.After selling millions of dollars in products and services for companies like AT&T, Intuit (Quickbooks), Quill, starting my own beverage company, and now (my retirement years) consulting businesses to sell authentically, I know there is no single “tactic” that is the “silver bullet”.At least not if you want lasting, reliable, “lay my head on the pillow with a clear conscience” business.To call it “social selling” isn’t even correct IMHO. DM selling is very different than social selling. Social selling is not new or trending. Social selling is as old as the hills (citing: How to Win Friends and Influence People and he learned it from his grandfather!!)What makes one method work for someone and not another .... ??I would say ask yourself “what makes one pick-up line work for one person and not another?”A thousand factors... right?If you are reaching out on any platform (even text /BOT/ email/ it’s not JUST DM’s where this can be a problem) ....It’s easy when as marketers we look at DATA and forget the HUMAN that makes up that dot on the matrix.My best advice if you’ve been on either side of something that makes you feel GROSS and are now wary of any sales activities ...Set an intention to be KIND .... (my belief is if you are here, you ARE genuinely kind)What I to use to try to imagine that everyone is a child of someone, a neighbor, a sister or brother, a spouse... and know that everyone is dealing with something right now that has absolutely nothing to do with you, a product, a service, or anything that you may ever know about. This softens the energy and allows us to really tune in so that we are not coming off wrong.When you treat them like you’d want your grandmother to be treated it will all work out, I promise.So if you had an idea to message someone .... check in with yourself “what’s my intention” if it’s genuine, then do it!If it’s “try” to get the sale ... think again.... everyone can smell it and it’s not pretty.If you are struggling with the fact that you REALLY DO want the sale and need a way to cleanse your intention and get back to your true self, I have a practice that has worked for thousands of “social sellers” who were about to go into DM’s, get on a sales call, host a webinar, or step out on stage that they say has made ALL the difference.Take the next step TODAY and grab my free sales training at www.ReneeHribar.co/training.************Renee Hribar has been a sales professional since 1994 in New York.

  • 12. Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway!

    07:11
    Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway!! I challenge you to try these 3 ACTIONS!! Business women come to me to gain, sharpen and hone their professional sales skills. I give them my BEST strategies and scripts custom to them and STILL they often need one.more.thing. To get OVER the FEAR. Fear of rejection is real. It goes back to the beginning of time, when rejection meant DEATH. ☠️ That’s pretty serious. I will tell you more one day about the "Caveman Theory of Fear" -- it's an old, deep-seeded fear that is, if we do not gain social acceptance, we will be shunned by the "tribe" and starve or be eaten . . . EEK!! I told you it was serious. But there is a way through this FEAR.  I have lots of exercises and guidance around fear. It has the power to stop even the BEST, most qualified women from excelling and reaching those who truly NEED THEM. You can SELL WITH GRACE, CLARITY and KINDNESS so that you never fall out of alignment with your moral compass AND you get RESULTS. No manipulation. No persuasion. Simple, clear, empathetic conversations that bring the potential client and their needs into the light so that you can determine if you can truly help them (without spending hours on the phone).

  • 8. Don't Make These Referral Mistakes

    08:05
    What NOT to Do with a ReferralThere are some tell-tale symptoms that you might have the “common cold” when it comes to accepting referrals. . .I am giving you some advice you can take ACTION on today on The "S" Word LIVE Show!!I love referrals. If you are selling a service like coaching or website design, virtual administrative services, or some combination of these, I am talking to you.Referrals sent to you for your work like building a website, managing social media accounts, creating funnels, writing sales pages, coaching, and strategy sessions are a clear sign that you are AMAZING at what you do.However, I have learned that not everyone has the same process for connecting with referrals as I do.My process is painless. . . let me share with you what I mean exactly!Have you ever experienced this scenario:“I got a referral from ______We had a good call.I sent the proposal but I haven’t heard back.”If this has ever happened to you, I want you to know, it’s not your fault!!Most other coaches just don’t have the experience in this very specific (and very important) part of business. As for me, I’ve built an entire career at this EXACT juncture.This is where the rubber meets the road. Without this exact piece humming like a fine-tuned machine, there will be a LOT of potential clients (even rock-solid referrals) that will simply hire someone else.There is a LOT of BAD advice out there around this.Some BAD advice I heard this week:“You just need to get 100 No’s”“You have to get REALLY good at overturning objections”Not true either.and the worst advice . . . ❌"just keep following up" UGH!!!!What I teach is VERY different. I teach how to ask better questions. This is where it gets fun and a TRUE connection happens. This preserves the relationship and KEEPS the door open and a VERY specific road back to you.Take the next step TODAY and grab my free sales traininghttps://www.reneehribar.co/training*********************************************Renee Hribar has been a sales professional since 1994 in New York.
