Are You Charging What You Are Worth?

Many solo professionals and heart-centered entrepreneurs struggle with making the money they really need and deserve.

Can you relate?

Although there are lots of programs on marketing and selling, there’s little to no guidance on how to have successful sales conversations, determine the best fee structure for your services or how to ask for what your worth.  As a result, many solo-preneurs like you feel uncomfortable and uneasy quoting their fees, feel pressured to discount their services or even avoid asking for the business!

If you know you’re meant to share your gifts in a great way and you’re ready to receive greater rewards for the value you deliver, then I invite you to join me for a call Tuesday February 9 hosted by two seasoned entrepreneurs I know and respect – Jeffrey Van Dyk and Elizabeth Marshall.

DATE: Tuesday, February 9, 2010
TIME: 12 Noon – 1:30 pm PST  (3:00 – 4:30pm EST)
REGISTRATION: http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?Clk=3529453 <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=34947331&msgid=295975&act=XF7I&c=459843&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kickstartcart.com%2Fapp%2F%3FClk%3D3529453>
COST:  None!!!

On this call, you’ll not only learn how the traditional time-for-dollar model may be holding you back from raising your rates and severely limiting your income, but how you can deliver even more value to your clients than you’re currently doing now.  You’ll also discover how to identify and pinpoint some of the beliefs, fears and internal resistance that’s preventing you from charging what you’re worth.

But, this is not your typical freebie call&hellip

It’s actually the first call in a 5-part teleseminar call Transformational Fee-Setting, which Jeffrey and Elizabeth will be leading during February.  That means you will not only gain specific knowledge, skills and insights on how to raise your rates, but you’ll get to experience how this course can dramatically improve your ability to quote your rate and structure your services in the best, most effective way.  All of this – without any strings attached or without any pressure to sign up for the whole paid program.

This course will help you understand a variety of business models and how to choose the right one(s) for your services.  Much more importantly, it will give you specific steps towards increasing your confidence and your self worth – the internal personal growth work that’s directly tied to your ability to ask for and receive higher fees.

After attending the first call, if you want more and decide to continue on in the course, you will:

·       Learn 5 powerful business models, along with when, why and how to use each one

·       Learn 2 methods for clearing the fears and limiting beliefs that block you from charging what you’re worth

·       Choose the business model(s) that are most purposeful for you

·       Practice the “rate setting conversation” with buddies and in supervised “working calls” so that you can get instant feedback and grow in your sales conversation purposefulness and mastery

Here’s the bottom line.  When you sell from a place of deep purpose and congruency both inside and out, the freedom is incredible – AND so are the financial results!

If this message doesn’t speak to you, this course probably isn’t for you.  But if you’re feeling activated, curious, nervous or excited, chances are this course is for you.  I trust that you will know, and if it is take a moment right now to register for the first call:

http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?Clk=3529453 <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=34947331&msgid=295975&act=XF7I&c=459843&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kickstartcart.com%2Fapp%2F%3FClk%3D3529453>

I know you will receive lasting value and greatly benefit from hearing from Jeffrey and Elizabeth, whether or not you continue with the rest of the course. Either way I bless you on your path.

To your transformation and its rewards!

Blessings,
Claire


I just learned about this teleclass that I think will be awesome and I thought some of you would want to know about it. Sorry for the late notice. If you miss the call you can sign up anyway and you will get the link to listen to the replay at your leisure.
I have worked with the people who are offering it and they are great. I will be sending out my regular monthly newsletter later this week.

Could this be as good as it sounds?
Here’s what participants have said: Just a belated thank you for the presentation that you did. I liked everything about it&hellip you really hit the mark. Hope you have heard as much positive feedback as I have. K. Miller, Executive Director, Grants Pass, OR I hung the collage we did at our retreat in the entryway, so that each time I opened the door it was the first thing I looked at. I realized the collage had real value in my life and served as a tangible reminder not only of daily personal aspirations, but also of a very special weekend with my dearest friends. It catches my eye and reminds me of the values to strive towards. A very belated thanks again for making our “bachelorette” weekend retreat so memorable.  Tamara G., Arcata, Calif Thank you again for coming to Sage College and presenting a really special program. I hearing that many of the women who attended are still talking about it, and even spreading the “good news”. For me it was beautiful, touching and profound. T. St George, Troy NY We are all very grateful for your direction and expertise with our daughters and appreciate your skill and patience with the mothers as well. Hope you are doing lots of the same type of ceremonies for other women as well. Marietta Y., Chester Springs, PA My life changes for the better when I have participated in an event led by Claire.  She is a very talented Art Therapist with gifts leading guided imagery and collage. Martha S., Grants Pass OR I admire Claire’s creative process. She integrates her own life’s path into her art work and brings the wisdom of her experience and intuition to her clients and workshop participants. She is a skilled listener and facilitator who is attuned to the spoken and unspoken needs of others and does not impose any belief system. She asks key questions and brings her observations tempered with compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend Claire Sierra as a person with integrity, wisdom and finely tuned counseling skills.

Change Agents: 8 Tools to Shift your Reality
Breathe:
Sounds simple, but we rarely give ourselves the air we need. Breathing is one of the most powerful and overlooked tools to clear any negative thought or feeling. While we don’t need the “bad” feelings to go away (they are good information that something is amiss), we do not want them to hijack our day or life. Amazing what it does for depression, anxiety and other trauma-based conditions (Not to mention, it’s free and always with us!) Walk: Get out of the box. Your home, work, wherever you are. Get outside and get a fresh perspective. Nature helps and heals in ways we can scarcely imagine. Laugh: Rarely is it as bad as it seems. Most of what we worry about never comes to pass. Stop taking yourself and Life so seriously. We live on the pleasure planet: enjoy! Notice: Put your attention where your intention is. That is what will grow. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. Create: Do something with your hands that you love. 5 minutes playing with pastels or paints can change your reality. Or cook, sew, write or sing. You don’t have to be good and you don’t have to exhibit it! Appreciate: Nothing will shift you from stinking thinking or foul mood like gratitude. 10 a day will change your thinking and change your life. Pray: When in doubt ask your guides, god, angels or whomever to help. Spiritual law of free will says these angels are not allowed to step in unless we ask. Ask and you shall receive. Not always in the package you request, but it comes. Trust: There is usually an outcome far better than we can see from our limited perspective.  God has a better, bigger view of you. Trust that it is working out for the better and it usually does.
