She sold the 10K project.
Then called me to ask if she was capable to deliver it.

The work she’d done for a decade — the brands she’d transformed, the thinking she’d contributed — none of it counted because she hadn’t been paid for it in the right context.

So we didn’t work on strategy first, we worked on what she actually believed about herself.
The confidence came second.
The results came third.

Sometimes the job is just to hold someone’s certainty until they can hold it themselves.

She connected, I accepted and within minutes a cold pitch landed in my DMs telling me my messaging needed fixing.

My first thought was… So you’re saying I don’t attract clients?

Here’s the thing, just because something can be improved doesn’t mean it’s broken. And pointing out someone’s gaps before you’ve even had a conversation isn’t help, it’s an attack dressed up as generosity.

My acceptance of your connection request was not an invitation.

But since we’re here swipe to see exactly what went wrong, and what actually works if you want to do outreach without making people want to immediately remove you from their network. 👀

Because yes, there IS a right way to reach out. I teach it to my clients. It doesn’t feel pushy, it doesn’t assume, and it doesn’t make the other person defensive.

My content does the heavy lifting so I never have to cold pitch anyone. People ask *me* how we can work together.

If you want that too, my business container is open.

Send me a DM.

If I lost all my clients and I had to start with 0 clients as a photographer? Here’s what I would do:

1. Get specific! I don’t want to compete with the masses that all do headshots. I need one client! I’ll be the best at a specific type and then niche up later.
2. Build your positioning around that which will inform your marketing.
3. Go to networking events and tell people exactly who you serve and how you’re different. I want to be top of mind.
4. No need to drop your price to get the first booking in the door.

Most people skip straight to #3 and wonder why nothing sticks.

Once the cash is in. I’d take pause and build from a place of ease and strength to apply a proper strategy. What you start with is seldom what will take you to your peak!

Who should I do next?

Tough pill from a sales coach for creatives:

Your rates aren’t the problem. Your relationship with money is.

Most creatives were never taught to talk about money comfortably. They inherited beliefs from parents who weren’t entrepreneurs and then tried to build a business on top of that foundation.

It doesn’t work.

Inside Flight Club, we rebuild that foundation. So you can name your price, hold it, and stop apologising for the value you bring.

DM me Flight Club if you want to know if it’s right for you.

Everyone said, be a coach… so I became one. But the truth is, I’ve never just been one thing to my clients.

Some days I tell you exactly what to do as an advisor. Some days I ask the questions that make you find the answer yourself. And some days I share what’s worked for me and recommend you try the same.

The label was never the point. The result is.

That’s what I do in my group container Flight Club and every 1:1 client I work with.

If it sounds interesting, get in touch.
