Never compete on price
I 100% agree. The client who picks the lowest bid is not the customer you want. They're probably terrible. They'll cause headaches to save a few hundred bucks. And the second they find someone cheaper, you're gone. You didn't lose that job. You dodged it. Count yourself lucky. Now you have the time to find the "good" clients. What actually wins work? Communication. Presentation. Relationship. The client who hires you because you answered the phone, showed up when you said you would, and explained things clearly. That's a client who comes back. That's a client who refers you. That's a client who doesn't nickel and dime every change order. Competing on price is a race to the bottom. You'll get there, and you'll hate it when you do. I've been there and it wasn't fun. Compete on trust instead. You'll make more while working less. Come to my community or DM me and we can discuss ways to make this work for you. Drafting Workshop

I'm studying how to get high ticket clients and do sales for companies instead of solo enterpreneurs. The approach is completely different. People buy with emotion. A charismatic sales person that use tricks to play with your emotions and create urgency for you to buy their product is what works here. Companies buy with strict criteria. Your B2B sales need to be predictable, have a clear and precise explanation and documentation and very well writen contracts with clear accountability. So the marketing strategies you use for small sales like generating scarcity and promotional prices do not work for enterprise level sales. It's all about having a very solid process and documentation, while being willing to navigate through the whole bureaucracy involved. As someone who did presales for multinational companies and is now a solopreneur at the side I can see how big is the contrast. B2B sales might take months on bureaucracy alone.

šŸ’” Have you ever had an idea that you thought would make you rich?
Have you ever thought you had an amazing idea that would made you rich? And than you put work into it, invest money, pour your dreams into this idea only to find out that it was doomed to fail from the start? That can happen because the idea is harder to execute than you predicted. Or because the price people would pay for it would never cover the operational costs. Or because people just don't want what you're offering and are just fine wiithout it. Or because there are already several people doing exactly what you proposing in a much better way than you ever could. The point is, before you spend all of that effort you didn't do a proper research. Tomorrow, I'll be talking about that live in @Michael Drayton "s community Learn Appsheets Together. He teaches you how to make money developing Appsheet applications, including how and where to get clients. I'm really excited for that, since both of us had a great talk, so interesting that we could already have recorded it.

@Eric William the execution of what? the plan you got? are you good at the market research part?
I had no idea a my little Skool directory would do this..
I launched the Skool Directory inside my classroom, and what happened next honestly surprised me. I expected a few people to take the idea and run with it—but it’s taken on a life of its own. Community owners started remixing it in ways I never could have predicted. One member turned it into a Book Directory for the authors in her community. Shoutout to @Krista Brea šŸ“š Another member is considering building a version focused entirely on wedding planning resources for her wedding community. @Susan Elstner Nini šŸ’ And another member is fully customizing it to fit the unique needs of his community. @John Lewis šŸ”§ This is exactly why I give the directory to my members to use inside their communities. I recognized a real gap in onboarding—members need an easy way to discover people, resources, and next steps without feeling overwhelmed. The directory solves that, while also creating connection, visibility, and even monetization opportunities. Watching members adapt it to fit their own ecosystems has been the best proof that systems don’t need to be rigid—they need to be flexible. šŸ‘‰ Want access to tools like this (and the systems behind them)? Join the Next Level Creator Hub. That’s where this all starts.

@Mona Weathers Mine is free too. I was just adding the competition as a barrier. People had to provide content and compete to be featured. Now the only barrier I'll put is my own judgement of the expertize of people I put there. And of course, them being active members at my community.

@Mona Weathers yes. I got kinda lost with everything else and these recent ideas on how to structure, but I'm still going to add those. I'll wait for yours.
