Did you ever consider that even if your professional expertise is outside of sales, that you are still a sales person? Many professionals frown upon the world of sales, equating it to taking advantage of people, but that is not how professional sales works. Sales is about uncovering problems and presenting viable solutions for a price. I use my expertise to teach fractionals how to stay self-employed. Most of them are people who have no support from family or friends and lack the business skills required to create consistent cashflow. There's the problem and solution. FYI, we self-employed professionals are all sales people. If you're in business, you're also in sales, whether you think you are or not. Somebody has to buy from you if you don't want to be someone's employee. Moving people toward making a committment to hiring you for your expertise, is sales. Go forth and make no appologies for wanting to make a living in business!

Here I am waiting for a follow up with my oncologist. I'm a cancer thriver. That's better than being a survivor. I think if you were to ask anyone in this waiting room whether you should settle for taking a regular job or remain self-employed, the answer would be to do what makes your heart sing. I believe that everyone who dreams of self employment should empower themselves with the knowledge and tools they need to be successful. Learn about marketing. Learn how to sell. Learn how to acquire new clients. Learn how to write good copy. Learn the basics of building a business. I offer free strategy calls. I have paid coaching offers that my clients find very helpful. I run workshops to support your lead generation efforts. Check out the free and paid resources in the Classroom so that you can continue to do what makes your heart sing. Renée

I'm not sure why anyone would join a referral network and not add a proper photo of their face or bother to complete their profile. Maybe it's because you set up your profile in the midst of doing other things. Perhaps you had trouble uploading your picture. I don't know. What I do know is this. I can't keep people in the group who don't want to be known. That defeats the purpose of the group. We only refer people we trust. Your intentions look shady when your profile is missing components. Please be aware that In the coming days, I will begin removing members with incomplete profiles. Please comment below or reach out to me if you any need help setting up your profile.

Would love to set up a Zoom for us to get to know each other and share war stories ...anyone interested? My email is Jennifer@Learngistics.com hope we could do something in early November...?
