Do customized packages take more
of your time than you like? On this episode of the Sales Maven podcast, Nikki is working with Melanie
Richards. Melanie runs a company called Modern Traction, a web agency that specializes in helping
coaches, consultants, and thought leaders transform their brand and
online presence. Melanie wants to offer more options to her
clients, but she is worried that her scalable, quicker, easier, and
the more cost-effective option will pull clients away from her more
expensive customized package.
Nikki shares that the way you
ask questions during the discovery call will help clients
self-identify which package they need. Melanie believes that her
scalable package is priced for an easy yes, and Nikki suggests an à
la carte type menu with a package type discount so they can add
options they may not have thought of.
Do you think about your target
audience and the kind of packages they are selling? Listen as Nikki
discusses package pricing and how to know if you are pricing
yourself reasonably or underpricing your offers. Nikki also
believes that the questions you ask on your intake form should only
be the questions you need to earn their business and shouldn't take
more than five minutes to answer because anymore can be
irritating.
Melanie says that the
Sales Maven Society's training
is so spot on that it has given her
the structure to have a smooth conversation with prospective
clients. When she has questions on small things, the feedback from
the group is so valuable. Are you ready to join the society? Now is
