Shownotes

Ever wish you could stop writing proposals and still get amazing clients? Then you’re going to love this live interview.

In this special behind-the-scenes episode, I pull back the curtain on the exact client conversation I’ve led over 100 times, this time with a past student in my signature program.

Designer + consultant, Lauren, joined my Package Your Process™ Accelerator after hitting her limit with RFPs and custom proposals. What happened next? She booked 4+ clients on the spot—without sending a single proposal—and generated $30K+ in business from just ONE clear, packaged offer.

How'd Lauren do it?

And how do *I* get great feedback and testimonials by interviewing clients live?

Listen now to hear firsthand!

🎯 You'll Discover:

  • How to stop writing custom proposals (without hurting your close rate)
  • What makes a service irresistible (hint: it fits on one page)
  • Lauren’s journey from proposal fatigue to instant yeses
  • A behind-the-scenes look at the exact client interview process I teach
