đźź© They kept asking how I did it

Hi ,

Quick recap of yesterday’s story:


I used to think networking was about impressing people.

So I’d talk… and talk… and talk some more.

About my work. My passion. My process.


Trying to prove I was worth hiring or referring.

But it didn’t work.


People smiled. Nodded.

Then… crickets.


It was frustrating, confusing, and honestly—discouraging.


And it pushed me to finally ask:

Why isn’t this working? What am I missing?


So I started paying attention.

Really paying attention.


To the conversations that stuck with me.

The people I remembered.

The ones I felt drawn to.


And I realized:

The people who made the biggest impression didn’t try to dominate the conversation.


They asked better questions.

They made me feel interesting.

They said less—but said it better.


Meanwhile, I was over here delivering monologues like I was auditioning for a TED Talk.


So I decided to fix it.


I stopped winging it.

I started experimenting with different ways of showing up in conversations.


Ways that felt authentic—but also effective.


I practiced asking smarter questions.

I refined how I talked about what I do.


I focused on being memorable, referable, and someone people enjoyed talking to.

And it worked.


People started leaning in.


They remembered me.

They referred me.

They hired me.


Eventually… they started asking me questions, too.

“How are you doing this?”

“What changed?”

“I need to get better at this—can you help?”


And after answering the same questions over and over (and hearing how helpful it was), I thought:

I need to share this with more people.


But first—I had to make it clear, simple, and easy to follow.


So I pulled everything apart.

Organized what I’d learned.

Tested it. Clarified it. Turned it into a step-by-step process.


I even made worksheets and checklists to make it ridiculously easy to apply.

And that’s how The 7-Day Client Conversation Fix was born.


It’s a free email course designed for anyone who relies on conversations for business development: Consultants, coaches, freelancers, fractional execs, and service pros.


Inside, I’ll show you how to:

  • Stand out without selling yourself
  • Spark curiosity in 30 seconds
  • Say what you do in a way that actually sticks
  • Become someone people want to refer


I wanted to charge for this—and honestly, I could.

But I decided to give it away for free so more people can do better.


And I trust that the ones who are a good fit—those who get it and want to do this work well—will let me know when they’re ready to work together.


Because networking isn’t a numbers game.


It’s a garden.

And the best time to plant better seeds… is today.
