18 Months, £40K Revenue and 50+ Clients: Developing My Signature Offer Taught me THIS about Offer Strategy

Are you thinking of developing your signature offer or have already started? Then you’ll be interested in listening to my takeaways from developing my signature offer, especially if you want to increase your client list and revenue while having an offer that makes sense for your business.

While you listen to the episode and enjoy my hottest tips for a signature offer based on my personal experience in developing one, get ready for your pricing reckoning with my new pricing course, Rates Recharged – the doors are open now:

People-Pleasing & Playing it Safe is Blocking You From Your Fullest Potential

Change is one thing that needs to happen in every business if you want to grow. However, there are many adjustments that you need to make for that growth to happen, including those little things that you may think you already stopped doing a long time ago.

One of those things most people think they stopped doing from their earlier freelancer days was people-pleasing. But the truth is, most service providers have a hard time saying “no” to make clients happy no matter the cost, and the cost is often freelancer fatigue and burnout.

Playing it safe is what gets most people a business running in the first place, but isn’t what will make that business scale to the next level. Listen and learn what other steps you can take to continue on your growth path to achieve a peaceful and successful business.
