This week Mills dives into your marketing. If it’s taking months to convert clients, your messaging might be wrong… 😑 

When you have the right marketing message, clients can sign up within hours of first seeing you. ⏰ 

I remember a time when I would be sitting at the start of the month counting conversations and potential clients, either panicking and thinking I needed to work harder to fill my pipeline, or pondering what to do next to make a sale. 💰

  📋I had a list of people I was following up with for months who weren’t buying but weren’t saying no (we all know those types!).
