  • Proven Strategies to Attract Champagne Clients

    https://www.vanessashaw.com/

    Hey, superstars!

    In today’s episode, I’ll share my favorite, proven strategies for getting in front of champagne clients.

    If you know me, you know I’m all about proactively growing your business. When I moved to the States 12 years ago, I didn’t know anyone. I asked myself, How do I get started when nobody knows me?

    I built my business from the ground up by focusing on what worked back in Europe. I aligned with my natural strengths and began tapping into speaking engagements with business owners.

    Why speaking? Because it gives us instant credibility. We don’t need to speak to large audiences; we just need the right people in the room and the courage to make offers.

  • Raising Your Rates: How to Counter-Offer

    https://businessgrowthacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/grwbab-principles-compressed-1.pdf

    Hey, superstars!

    In this episode, we will unpack a juicy topic — how to confidently raise your rates and craft irresistible counter-offers to attract high-value “champagne clients” who truly appreciate your work.

    Women entrepreneurs often feel a lot of fear around raising prices, especially when faced with rejection. It’s tempting to backtrack after hearing a “no,” but learning to navigate this discomfort can open doors to transformative opportunities.

    Remember, every “no” clears the path for your “yeses.” The right clients, the ones who truly see your worth, are waiting for you. Make that offer!

  • Offers And The Power Of Silence
    Jan 7 2025

    Learn How to Remove the 7 Money Blind Spots So That You Can Finally Scale and Build Your Business to 7-Figures and Beyond!

    https://www.vanessashaw.com/

    In this episode, we will unpack a game-changer in elevating your offers — the power of silence.

    Sales conversations can feel awkward and nerve-wracking, especially because traditional methods focus on pitching.

    Here’s the key: Once you’ve presented your offer and stated your fees, the most impactful tool you can use is remaining silent. Say what you need to, then stop talking—and let the pause work in your favor.

    I invite you to start practicing getting more comfortable with silence. It’s a skill that can create space for genuine connection and confident decision-making.

    Are you ready to take a proactive approach to growing your business?

    In today’s episode, I’ll share the #1 metric you need to boost your revenue: tracking the number of offers you make.

    One of the biggest opportunities for growth in small businesses, especially among women, is overcoming the fear of making offers. Waiting for clients to come to you isn’t a strategy—it’s a missed opportunity.

    Growth happens when you take proactive steps. Put yourself out there, make offers, and track how many you’re making.

    Remember, success starts with action—take charge, be bold, and get rich without being a bitch.
