Marketing and sales are only one part of starting an online business. Once you get clients in the door, it’s just as important for your business that they feel valued and not like they’re just a number to you, because when people feel like they don’t matter, they end up giving up. As your business grows and your time and energy become even more limited, making clients feel important gets even trickier. Today, Jill shares some strategies for maintaining quality control, managing boundaries, and attracting the right clients so you can nail your customer fulfillment.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Check out Take Care Coaching with Danny Coleman: takecarecoaching.com   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Choosing a niche is a crucial part of running an online business, but are you locked into your niche forever once you choose one? As a human being, change is inevitable, which means as you run your personal brand, your interests and ideas will naturally begin to evolve. Even JillFit wasn’t always a fitness business brand—it started as a fat loss company. You will change over time, and that means your business and your niche might, too. As long as you include your audience in your personal journey and build a solid foundation of trust, you can always change your niche.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

You might have heard of a sales technique called a Video Sales Letter (or VSL), but what actually is a VSL and what’s the best way to use one? Jill is diving deep into the concept of VSLs and explains their structure, purpose, and effectiveness in making sales. Generally, the higher friction your potential clients face before deciding to work with you, the higher chance you have to convert a lead into a sale. With a VSL, you can be increasing engagement, qualifying your leads, and making sales with a lot less front-facing work.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.
