Meet the Speaker:

Janet Harvey has 25 years of successful professional experience as both a corporate and entrepreneurial business executive coaching individuals and teams for leadership development in diverse private and public sector settings around the globe.  As a leader, business owner, coach, mentor of coaches and trainer of coaches individually and inside of organizations, Janet was an early adopter for group and team coaching and creating a coach-centered workplace.

Working now for more than a decade with individual clients and groups interested in self empowerment for personal and professional success, Janet possesses the following areas of expertise: executive leadership coaching and personal development; generating and communicating vision; facilitating executive collaboration; inspiring strategic thinking and team commitment; creating environments that breed both innovation and accountability for effective results.

Janet specializes in times of transition – the period during which an individual experiences accelerated growth that requires a surrender of old habits and beliefs that are limiting in order to adopt an expanded capacity for the long view of the business and the development of strategies and operating plans that enable sustainable use of both financial and human resources.  Holding the belief that long-term, thriving success for the ICF depends upon full member engagement, continuously fresh creativity, and colleagues helping colleagues develop, Janet also understands the importance of establishing and gaining adoption for global coaching standards that will accelerate the perceived value of earning a professional credential. Janet values the opportunity for modeling and inspiring a deepening commitment, by every coach she meets, to excellence and advancement of the art, science and practice of professional coaching.

Everyone wants to attract more clients. And we hope those clients will be great clients to work with who will pay us well. But very few Independent Professionals have a plan or strategy to consistently attract more High-End Clients.

A High-End Client is an Ideal Client – a person or company who is great to work with and who is excited about making changes and creating a better future.

A High-End Client makes long-term commitments – When you work with high-end clients they engage you in long-term projects designed to make a significant difference and produce measurable results.

A High-End Client pays you more – Selling bigger, more results-oriented services, projects and programs means being paid much more than for standard services.

This concept of offering these kinds of services and programs is called H.E.O.B – High-End, Outcome Based programs and services. The methodology for marketing and selling these programs has been tested and proven with hundreds of Independent Professionals. It works for consultants, coaches, trainers and other professional service business and is applicable to small, medium and large companies of all kinds.

In this presentation we’ll cover the following:

• The Three Keys to marketing and selling high-end services

• Developing a high-end marketing mindset

• The marketing fundamentals essential for attracting 
high-end clients

• What you need to do to prepare to go high-end

• The seven pitfalls to avoid if you plan to go high-end

• How you can sell high-end services, despite the economy

• An Action Plan for going high-end.

Join us for this dynamic call and explore how attracting high-end clients is the key to success in your business. When you attract more high-end clients you not only make more money (often a LOT more money) you have more fun, produce bigger results for your clients and feel you are making a real difference. What could be better than that?
