Here’s to business love at first sight.

 

You want to start by making sure you understand your ideal clients. The Business Love at First Sight workbook will not only help you relate to them, it will help you clearly identify them and – most importantly – how they speak. Hundreds of entrepreneurs have started with this very workbook to uncover the words they need to create passionate (paying!) fans.

 

Once you understand your ideal client, it’s time to give them a sample of your work. Enter the freebie. The Opt-in. The Pink Spoon. Whatever you call it, you need one. Opt-ins That Work is a free training to help you design a can’t-say-no offer to grow your list.

 

Establish a squeeze page for your freebie – don’t forget to highlight the benefits!

 

 

Remember to set up a sales funnel to lead from your freebie to your paid offer. If you need a little help getting started, I’ve got your confirmation email already written for you right here with your Off The Rack Email freebie.

 

 

Create a Work With Me Page and an About Me page that speak to your ideal clients (hint: They only care about this one thing). If you need some help talking about what sets you apart, check out this free training to isolate your Unique Selling Proposition.

 

Ready to set up a blog? It’s not mandatory, but it’s a good way to have a ready source of answers for potential clients. You can get step-by-step help creating your blog here or we can meet to map out your blog topics for the next year. Prefer to work alone? This freebie will help you sketch out your ideas.

 

If you’re just starting out, you’ll probably do a lot of 1:1 work at first. After you’ve worked with your first 10-20 clients, you’ll want to create an Entry Level offer – something that solves a common problem for your ideal client. After you’re more established, you’ll develop a Signature Offer. Need help creating or polishing these? Let’s talk.

 

 

These first 7 steps are all foundational pieces. If you’d like a more in-depth dive (along with templates, step-by-step lessons, and one-on-one coaching) take a look at Business Basic Training and get instant access to a wealth of how-tos.

Once you’ve built a solid foundation for your business, it’s time to start attracting more clients.

 

Communicating with potential clients is key to building your business. With an online business, that means writing magnetic copy.

Copy Camp is your instant-access, personalized-feedback, fill-in-the-blank-template guide to creating copy that leaves them reaching for their wallet. Check it out here and start sending out copy that sells.

 

 

Now that you’re attracting more clients, you’re going to start setting up consultations. You want to make sure your consultation game is on point. You can check out Consults That Convert (Without Feeling Sleazy) – a free training only available to members of the Business Love at First Sight Facebook group – to get you started.

 

 

By now you’ve built some momentum – and it’s a good idea to direct it all where you want to go. You need a business plan. And this freebie will walk you through creating one to help you meet your goals.

 

At this point, expanding your business requires some personalized planning. And there are a lot of ways you can make it happen:
