The Top 3 Reasons Why You Struggle To Sign Clients
If signing clients and growing your business feels like an unsolvable mystery, you are in good company!

When I sit down with business owners who are struggling with this, they are usually making one of three common mistakes, that I call “sales leaks.” Not only will I be breaking down these three mistakes and why they happen, but I’ll be sharing my tips for how to avoid them in the future and get out of the dreaded client-chasing cycle.
