Hi all! I host a free motherhood collective in my area for new and expecting moms. We meet once a month for a mom walk and then once a month for a mom circle. The walk is more to just get fresh air and get out of the house. The mom circle is more intentional time to open up and talk. I’m struggling how to balance just letting it be a meetup and it being a led discussion. I’m trying to use these to get my name out there to local moms. I haven’t been doing it for very long but so far hasn’t led to any leads. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can better balance this? I worry I’m viewed less as a professional in this space and more just a peer.

As we enter quarter 2 (just how?!) I want to cast a vote for the day & time of our weekly coaching call. Vote in the comments by Friday 4/3 and I’ll announce the plan moving forward. Majority rules 😋 Vote either: *Monday 2p EST* OR *Wednesday 12p EST*

Reposting because this might’ve gotten lost in the shuffle but how do yall follow up with leads that are warm but just aren’t responding to texts and invitations to get on a call? I know I need to but I don’t know how to say it when it’s like the 3rd time reaching out 😅

Hi all, I have a couple leads” that I’m just not sure what to say from here. I get so in my head about repeated follow-ups to *crickets* but I also know that them not outright saying no means the door is open. 1. I had a consult with a mom last week. It went really well, but the husband said a postpartum doula wasn’t in the budget given their rent unexpectedly increasing but she said she was considering my guided postpartum prep for expecting parents but her husband didn’t think it was necessary since they’ve been through it before. Thing is her first postpartum didn’t go well for her. In my response back I referenced this and mentioned how planning for how life changes with each new baby to ensure that mom is adequately supported can significantly reduce the chances of the lack of support and isolation she felt last time. That email was sent at the beginning of this week and still haven’t heard back. 2. I had another mom reach back out after not seeing my messages on facebook. She had originally reached out interested in in-person support. She never checked her messages. She saw another post of mine about my guided postpartum prep and reached back out asking for the price. I asked for her number since we both had issues with fb. She gave it to me. I sent her a text saying I’d love to schedule a call with her because I remembered she was first interested in in-person support which actually includes the postpartum prep so I’d love to talk to her about what they look like and how they work together. Nothing. Sent a follow-up asking for when she’d be free for a call. Nothing. She was a pretty warm lead so just not sure what to do. I know I need to just do it scared but I don’t want to be annoying and I don’t know how to when I have so little to go off of
