It’s easy for me to end up spending a lot of time immersed in the hearts and minds of my “ideal client” when I’m writing my blogs, preparing my video content, or updating my website copy. And for me, it’s never really a one-off immersion, but rather an ongoing reflection that allows me to continuously deepen my understanding of what…

This is a question that comes up over and over when I run my “Get More Clients Saying Yes!” course. It’s also an emotional one, with many clients and friends having strong opinions around the topic. Is it right to try and get a decision on the spot during sales conversations? Doesn’t that put pressure on the client and make…

I’ve been having conversations this week with people interested in joining me for my Get More Clients Saying Yes! course (enrolment is now open and we start next week!). One thing I’m asked a lot is whether this course will teach them how to attract new clients, because of course it’s no use being brilliant at sales conversations if you’ve…

Something that I notice a lot when speaking to my the people going through my Get More Clients Saying Yes! course is the habit of making assumptions about a potential clients ability to afford to work with them.

As part of my own summer break a few years ago, I attended a small festival where I had a healing session that was very nurturing…

During a recent Q&A session, I found myself coming up on the spot with an analogy about slugs. My clients liked it and said they won’t ever forget it – so I thought you’d find it useful too! One of my clients, a coach, was sharing how, since doing the “Get More Clients Saying Yes!” course her sales conversations have…

If you are like most of the heart-centred business owners that I know you probably shy away from situations that involve “selling” your services. I know this sounds kind of crazy because of course you do want clients! But it’s actually really common – you’re in business because you want to make a difference to others, or because you are…

A conversation between Marianne Cantwell and Catherine Watkin Do you consider yourself a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), introvert or empath? Do you ever feel that sales is just not “for you” because you feel you can’t be as bullish and outgoing as you need to be successful? If so then you are going to love this “chat” that my great…

I want to talk about something that’s been troubling me for a little while now. It’s the idea that you have to be visible if you want your business to work, and how for some of us this idea could actually be hurting our businesses. Watch the video below or scroll down to read more. In the last six months, I’ve…

Many years ago when I first got introduced to the world of personal development I trained with a mentor who used to say: “Successful people don’t stop having problems. They just have better quality problems” What he meant was that life and business are never going to be easy and smooth and we are always going to have problems. But…

Happy Lunar New Year (aka Chinese new year)! Traditionally this is a time of “cleansing” to sweep away any evil spirits lurking from the previous year so this is a really great week for letting go of anything that no longer serves you so you can flourish in 2017. And this is exactly what I’ve been doing. Instead of my…
