It’s a no-brainer that if you really pay attention to the language and messaging you use, you start to attract your ideal clients. As a niche service provider, you know that you have the power to change lives and businesses with your service.

But one of the most important pieces of messaging that, with a simple shift, could change how you feel, your lead generation, conversions, pricing, and how you show up as an expert is what you call yourself.

We’re inviting you to try a new phrase to use outside of the usual “one-to-one service provider,” “creative entrepreneur,” “small business owner” terms that are so common in this tightly knit space.

Instead, what if you called yourself a “consultant” (whether that’s a marketing consultant, operations consultant, or [insert industry type] consultant)?

Do you know how to actually prioritize life-first, work less, enjoy your personal time more, develop hobbies, not be so consumed by work, all the while making good moolah? The answer is probably not, even though literally every business owner ever aims to accomplish all of this.

Instead, we’re met with regurgitated tactics like waking up early to meditate, sell thousands of a low-ticket offer to a nonexistent audience, and “level up” our mindset. It’s no surprise that those tactics don’t cut it for us.

So, after trial and error, hunkered down in isolation, we realized we’d unlocked something that thousands of other service-based business owners and consultants have been searching for. Now, we’re bringing in a new era of business, and we want you to be a part of it.

Although we serve all kinds of businesses in various ways, 1:1 service providers most definitely make up the majority of our audience. A big issue we see them having is being unable to find information to help with all of the specific issues and nuances that come with serving clients.

We’ve cranked out tons of great content tailored to our friends in the service-based industry. Now, we’ve compiled these resources into a list that you can bookmark or save to keep with you during 2022 and beyond!

Scaling a service-based business is a special kind of feat. As a service provider, there are only so many hours in the day that you can dedicate to client work after all. This can definitely make scaling seem impossibly difficult or out of reach. After starting off as a service-based business for years and then working directly with service providers to scale their own 1:1 services, we’ve learned that there are 11 things you absolutely need to know before scaling. We’re going to dive into what those are in this blog post!

CRMs and service-based businesses go together like peanut butter and jelly. Having a CRM software means that you have a digital database for all things pertaining to your leads and clients.

While we know service providers who are getting by tracking their leads and clients using spreadsheets or other methods, CRMs allow you to boost your overall client experience. You’re able to streamline the way you send contracts, proposals, forms, invoices, schedulers, and other documents, all the while maintaining a consistently branded and professional image.

Unfortunately, we often see service providers massively underutilizing their CRM, so in this post, we want to share 5 ways to maximize your CRM and boost your productivity!

Running a 1:1 service-based business isn’t all flowers and rainbows, and we know you’re ready to grow your biz and take it to the next level. You’re ready to finally:

• Free up your hours and stop wasting precious time on so many low-paying clients

• Achieve those 5-figure months you’ve been dreaming about since you started

• Feel confident in your client onboarding process and overall client experience

• Have systems in place like a well-oiled machine instead of feeling like everything is on fire all the time

Well, the best way to accomplish all of those things is by growing your service-based business with a High-Touch Signature Service™. In this blog post, we’ll explain how developing one is the key to unlocking your goals, working less, and making more.

It probably wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say that a common dream amongst business owners is to be able to work less but make more money. It sounds like a contradiction, but it’s actually entirely possible to achieve. By streamlining your work week and increasing your client capacity, you’re able to get back more time in your business and make more money.

There are really only two levers to pull in order to do this: 1. Increase the price of your package, and 2. Decrease the amount of time it takes to complete a client project. In this blog post, we’ll break down what it means to accomplish each of these, so you can finally reach your “work less, make more” goal.
