The Smart Gets Paid Podcast

Leah Neaderthal

Join renowned sales coach for women running consulting businesses, Leah Neaderthal, for a behind-the-scenes look as she helps women solve their biggest sales challenges and start landing higher-paying clients. From her background in marketing -- “definitely not a salesperson” -- she taught herself how to sell and developed a selling methodology that feels comfortable and works. Now she shares that with other women in their consulting businesses. From clearly communicating your value, to comfortably leading a sales process, to pricing your work, getting in front of your ideal business clients, and even confidence and mindset, you’ll listen in on the real, honest conversations with women just like you who are facing, and solving, these challenges. Along the way, you’ll discover that even if you’ve never been a salesperson, you can learn how to land consulting clients, comfortably and confidently, without being salesy.

Several years into Smart Gets Paid, Leah's niche is pretty clear and easy to recognize: women who run independent consulting businesses. But it wasn't always that clear. So in this episode, I pull back the curtain and share with you how I came to my niche, the women I work with. But I get there in a roundabout way, by talking to a client who's struggling to find HER niche. Tune in to my conversation about how I found my niche, and how you can find your own.
