Susanna Maida

Client Building3 Secrets for Keeping Your Best Clients from Slipping through Your Fingers with the Art of Sacred Selling.
Susanna Maida, Ph.D., Visionary Business Weaver at ReWeaving the World

Do you struggle to consistently turn interested prospects into paying clients who can’t wait to work with
you? If you’re squeamish about selling, you’re not alone. Many heart-centered women entrepreneurs
think selling means manipulating others into buying something they don’t want. Since we don’t want to be pushy, we avoid selling. Or we never learn how to do it well and with integrity. This means we don’t generate the generous income we need to support ourselves and fuel our world-changing missions.

Discover how selling is actually a profound act of service that can result in big income for you and life-changing transformation for your clients. Learn a foundational template for having your own highly effective, heartfelt enrolling conversations. Receive valuable tips on how to best prepare for these conversations so you get far more yes’s than ever before!
