How to Create a High-Touch Signature Service
We recently told the complete truth about the elusive “passive income” trend and how it’s a total sham. We also told you what you should do instead, and that’s create a High-Touch Signature Service.™
In a nutshell, a High-Touch Signature Service is what will allow you to go from working with 12 clients per month (and barely breaking even) to 4 clients per month (and making much more than before). It’s what will save your sanity, capacity, time, and pockets in the long run because you’re able to work less while making more!
In this post, we’re going to break down the 4 key phases to creating a High-Touch Signature Service, so you can be well on your way to putting your life first in your business while surpassing your financial goals.
Our Effective Strategy to Get More Clients Faster
After being surrounded by and listening to the roadblocks and frustrations of countless service providers, there’s a single trend we see happening all too often-- clients are dropping off before they’ve booked.

It’s a resounding message in the online business world, and it’s an idea that gets circulated through so many service-providers’ brains a hundred times or more. They fall in love with those sexy phrases associated with pivoting to courses, like “passive income”, “work less while making more”, “make money while you sleep”, etc.
4 Marketing Strategies That Work for 1:1 Service Providers
We’ll be the first to admit, there’s a lot of noise when it comes to marketing strategies for small business owners. The online marketing space has exploded in recent years and with that, inevitably, comes some confusion. With the focus of those strategies being mostly geared for folks who have the desire (and skill) to move to a 1:many model (i.e. offering digital products like courses, memberships and downloads), 1:1 service providers have been left in the dust.
These same service providers are left thinking those same strategies will work for them, or worse, that the only way for them to reach their goals is to change up their entire business model.
