142: Can’t Afford to Turn Down Low-Budget Leads? Here’s What to Do

Feeling totally resentful of all those clients you accepted a few months ago that couldn’t actually afford your fee? Can’t see a way to make more money while working less? Obviously, we’re here to help you out, because you should be running a business you love, not having it run you into the ground.

Or, are all the leads coming your way just too low-budget but you don’t feel you can say no to them? What if there was a way to reject them that didn’t feel awkward, and meant that you could actually save your time for those clients who are much higher paying?

This all sounds good, right? Tune into today’s episode to learn how to create your plan to move forwards and only accept the high-budget leads, without the awkwardness that comes from turning down the low-paying ones.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

The problem of taking on low-paying leads
How to come up with an alternative offer for low-budget clients that isn’t monthly management
Using automation to remove the awkwardness of turning down clients who can’t afford you
Creating a plan to turn your low-paying clients into high-paying ones over time
