the hard truth why they don't invest with you

friend,
today’s newsletter is for you if…
You’re attracting an audience on social media NOT ready to invest with you or thinks you’re out of budget
You want to charge premium prices for your services as a coach or strategist
Category 1: If you’re attracting people who are not ready to invest, it tells me that…
Your messaging is probably all over the place your audience is like “Wait a sec…what does she do again?” which is hurting your authority
Your content is over 80% educational with easy tips and tricks, making your audience feel like they’re getting what they need without paying because it’s not positioning you as the trusted guide
Your content isn’t speaking to the ultimate dream client…you’re trying to target the beginners and the seasoned client while making everyone feel like your offers are not for them (trust me I made this mistake for years even as a brand expert!)
Category 2: If you’re attracting people who think you’re out of budget or feel you can’t charge a premium…
I have gotta give it to you straight friend, if your brand (and YOU) is not looking, feeling, and sounding premium…it just doesn’t make sense in their minds why they should pay that premium
You speak to the surface-level problems in your content and don’t dive into the deeper emotional issues - I mentioned this in one of my previous emails on “selling without selling”
What to do then?
Build a brand beyond your offers:
Don’t just be another business or coach, build your personal brand around your uniqueness / quirks & how you live / thinkCurate a vibe:
do this by finding your brand aesthetics that reflect the emotions & message behind your brand - We are doing this work in my Birth Your Brand Baby retreats!Cohesiveness creates clarity:
your brand photos & overall feed aesthetics communicate to your audience a level of authority your words can’t (& it doesn’t need to be perfect!)Story tell instead of teach:
share from personal experience instead of sharing tips & tricksMessaging that moves:
your message needs to be dialed into the deeper-level struggles and emotional desires of your dream client
