Discovery Sessions – How to close an Initial Conversation Gracefully

Overview
How to run an initial meeting so that your prospective client trusts your expertise and want to engage you now
An initial meeting with a prospective client can be the key to winning a great client, or a disappointing waste of time. Given the opportunity cost of that time, it’s important that you get it right first time.
The way that you structure the agenda, what you say and how you say it is critical to getting the outcome you want – a profitable easy-to-work-with client. As a trusted advisor, you need to lead the conversation and set the tone and expectations of the meeting.
In this session, you will discover how to:
- Qualify a new prospective client so you know if they are just kicking tyres or want to get going immediately
- Communicate the value of your service and not just the price
- Set expectations of how you work with your very best clients
- Make an offer with ease and grace by presenting your service as the solution to their problem. It will feel as easy as sharing your phone number.
Attendees will receive a handy script summary as a ready reference for your very next meeting, as well as a bonus report: “How to Confidently Handle the Common Objections of Not Enough Time and Not Enough Money?”
