A couple of years ago, I was demonstrating a simple approach to enrolling high-value clients in front of a group of my students (mostly coaches and aspiring coaches). I worked with the prospective client for 15-20 minutes and got their permission to come back to them with a proposal.

After the client sat down, another member of the group commented that the session had seemed pretty ‘low-key’. He said, “I thought that if you want a client to sign up with you, you need to blow their minds in that initial session.”
