I have about 20 “warm invitations” accepted, but not scheduled
carried out. So my goal is to get at least 3 new paying clients by
Dec. 30. I’m finding I just naturally extend invitations. So this
follow through is where I need to focus. I also want to get
comfortable with asking new clients to pay me at the end of their
comp. session for the month to come. Paypal is preferable for me.

I had a 2nd session with a new client today that went great and a 2nd session with another last Monday. It’s so fun! Working on pinning down a couple intros, but not nailed down yet.

For those of you like me, who are too cheap to pay someone to do your html for you, your web hosting provider should have pre-canned html for this application that you can copy and customize. I use yahoo, myself, and it took some doing to figure out, but I did it. And, let’s face it, if I can, anyone can. That’s how all my coding gets done.

I also got the incentive to start a new aspect for my coaching business, and that is already proving a good choice. I apologize for the delay in this post, but I did not want to end without truly finishing.

25 invites (plus unbelievable amounts of networking, and joining two professional orgs I never would have considered previously)

3 exploratory sessions

2 total clients so far, both paying. One of the three sessions will become a pro bono as a favor to a friend. I refuse to take her husband on, though.

1 client paid me $300 up front.
2nd client paid $150 up front (this is a new business model I’m experimenting with)
1 unpaid client (who is formally starting next week)

Grand total of money received through this process: $450

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you, especially David and Beth.

Today’s invitation went to Suzanne G. another friend of a friend in my market niche.

Congrats to everyone who finished the challenge already and especially to those who had such great results!

40 invites (plus some group email invites and business cards on bulletin boards)

5 exploratory sessions (plus one that was skipped because we moved right to first session)

11 exploratory sessions still to go (either already scheduled or agreed to)

3 total clients so far:

2 paying clients, they paid me $100 each for the first month,
1 unpaiid client (at least not in cash), but she pays me in massages!

Grand total of money received through this process: $200.

It’s been an awesome experience. Got plenty of practice dealing with rejection too
