Episode 252: How To Get More Clients With A Powerful Discovery Call with Nikki Rausch

If you are a coach, consultant, or service provider, chances are you spend a decent amount of time in consultation calls with potential clients. A consultation, often referred to as a “discovery call”, is a short conversation designed to uncover if your services are a good fit for the potential client.

Over the years I’ve heard from countless clients that those conversations often feel frustrating as the service provider pours so much value into that first meeting -- and the conversion with the client isn’t happening.

What if you could enroll more of your ideal clients through those initial conversations? On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 252, I’m joined by Nikki Rausch of Sales Maven to talk about structuring your discovery calls so that you enroll more of your best clients.
