00:06:35 JEN: Iโ€™m the one with no wins. Feels like everything is going wrong. Have lost 3 retainer clients, had 2 projects that were supposed to be my entire month pushed out to next month. Silver lining is that now I have more time to work through the modules. Plus one of those retainer clients was mean.
00:07:05 Tracy Trathen โ€ข e design studio, LLC: Braving a womenโ€™s networking group tonight that Iโ€™d stopped going to for a while for a number of reasons. Going again to see if itโ€™s my own things or if itโ€™s really them being weird (itโ€™s a bit of a rah rah, woo woo group, and some of that makes me uncomfortable).
00:07:08 JEN: Sure!
00:07:11 Katheryn Symington: I showed up. haha. I'm fighting the urge to curl up and hide.

00:08:13 Stephani – The Simple Growth Co: I was updating my cousin about my biz this weekend (haven't seen him in awhile) and talking about the changes I've made. Made me realize how far I've come in the past year! Also, I joined Next Level end of June (haven't been to a call since to share). So excited!

I resemble that remark sometimes (hiding used to be my MO – I donโ€™t do that as much as I used to but still fight the urge all the time to do so).
00:12:10 Janet Hoover: Welcome!!

00:14:20 Tracy Trathen โ€ข e design studio, LLC: I call those my three services – Web Design & Branding, Web Design (only), and Branding (only) and then I have three packages inside of each of those.
00:15:34 Laura Nurse: @Shannon Mattern – Iโ€™d be happy to share my screen for a minute to show Lynn how I broke out my packages. ๐Ÿ™‚
00:17:28 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: Win – Iโ€™m here! And, had what I think was a pretty good third round job interview yesterday. Now, just trying to play it cool while I wait to hear back from them.

If anyone is curious – hereโ€™s how I split out my three services with packages. I had to chart it out to get my brain straight on it:

This is very helpful! Thank you!
00:26:26 Tracy Trathen โ€ข e design studio, LLC: Replying to “I call those my thre…”

And you can see this on my website as well. Home page has a section that lists the three services, and those go to pages for each one with the three packages.

00:29:35 Tracy Trathen โ€ข e design studio, LLC: I always have to tell myself any reaction (or non-reaction or ghosting) from others doesnโ€™t mean anything about me.

00:30:17 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: Replying to “I always have to tel…”

Yes – itโ€™s always the case, but itโ€™s still so hard. We all totally get it @Katheryn Symington!

Yes. Super hard. We can have logical knowledge, but the emotions usually come stronger and faster.

Exactly! My newest client was a referral from a family friend who knows about my business (has known about it for many years), and only just referred that person to me last month.
00:36:41 Pauline Wiles: I have a fun story from a previous business. A woman called, really keen to hire me. I tracked her inquiry down to a magazine article I had written 10 years earlier. She'd kept it and was finally ready. Obviously we'd prefer that our efforts don't usually take that long!

00:37:35 Laura Nurse: @Katheryn Symington – It seems like you have got leads and can get them on the phone. So lead gen and lead nurture are working! Thatโ€™s a win! Next stopโ€ฆ sales training/sales process adjustments?

Good point. I have a background in purchasing because I didn't like sales… now I'm back in the sales seat. haha. I could probably read a book about it.

00:50:39 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “I always have to tel…”

IMHO, the fact that you noticed your feelings, and then had the courage to show up here, be vulnerable, and ask for help even if you fear you might cry, is an immensely brave sign.
00:50:41 Katheryn Symington: Replying to “@Katheryn Symington …”

Lesson 6.6, Premium Offer Do's and Don'ts is one of my faves for repeat listening.
