We're beginning with foundational work. You'll start by determining your Zone of Genius, the skills you enjoy and feel uniquely qualified to offer.

We'll then create your specific service offering as well as the associated pricing and revenue projections.

My weekly planning document

Develop a templated and predictable approach to sales calls that reduces anxiety and increases your chance of getting a "Yes".

You'll also create proposals that can quickly be customized for your specific use cases.

Keep an eye out for these action steps and resources in the following courses:

Prepping for Sales Calls

• Do right now: Jot down intake form questions in your copy of the Fast Track Playbook. 
• Do within a week: Sign up for Calendly or a similar service 

Templatized Proposals and Following Up

• Determine how you’ll send proposals and invoice your clients, and document your plan in your copy of the FastTrack Playbook. Make sure your clients can sign their contracts electronically!

A template for following up with a potential client over email is available in the Fast Track Scripts.

For invoicing, I use and recommend HoneyBook.

We'll start by creating your 90 day roadmap and optimized weekly schedule.

You'll also learn how to keep your clients happy without working around the clock or burning out.

Keep an eye out for these action items and resources throughout these following lessons:

Client Management and Retention

• Consider your project management system (my advice: Start out using GoogleDrive!). Scroll to the bottom of your copy of the Fast Track Playbook and document your plan for staying organized.

Landing Testimonials and Referrals

Resource: You can also find a template for requesting a referral in the Fast Track scripts, here.

Setting Goals and Workflow Optimization 

• Document your OKRs in your copy of the Fast Track Playbook (start with a 90 day period, and remember that done is better than perfect).

Congrats!

You finished the Solopreneur's Fast Track. This is all the information I wish I had when I first started my business and I’m glad I had the opportunity to share it with you.

Before we hop into the next steps, I’d love to ask for you a favor. I’ve partnered with this company, Testimonial.to, to collect feedback from happy students who are willing to share their experience with others.

And it’s really easy to do, you just click the link below and submit either a text or video testimonial. I’ll share these on the landing page for the course, so it’s a good time to mention what you do, and I’ll also reach out to interview some of you.

So if you’re comfortable with that, I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a testimonial, and I'll see you inside of the bonus lessons.
