The 4-week online workshop for introverted freelancers who want to sell higher quality projects in their most natural and authentic way.
Application Deadline:
12/15/2017
Are you just “getting by” with “decent” projects?
You’ve been freelancing for some time now. You “get by” with selling “decent” projects.
But deep down you want more.
You’re not okay with just “getting by” anymore. You want to sell higher priced projects because your work deserves it. Even more than that, you deserve it.bo
But there’s a roadblock. A big one. You feel your introverted tendencies standing in the way of building your dream business.
You’ve tried applying sales tactics you’ve read about, but none of it feels natural. The last thing you want is to be a phony. Fake’s not your style.
But if you don’t do something now, you’ll stay stuck in this abyss of just “getting by” and selling “decent” projects like many introverted freelancers do.
The real truth about merely “getting by” with projects that are “okay”
If you continue on this path of just getting by, you and I both know that you’ll eventually quit and go back to working for the corporate grind.
Maybe giving up isn’t such a bad idea. But maybe giving up will sabotage the freedom you’re building with your freelance business.
We both know those thoughts aren’t doing you any favors. Those thoughts are your enemy.
They stand between you and your dream business.
Let’s say that you do go back to work for the corporate world. The reality is that every time someone asks what you do for a living, you’ll be reminded of what could have been, what would have been, what should have been.
You’ll be reminded of your failure again and again.
That’s no way to live.
But let’s talk about how you’re losing money (and LOTS of it) because you’re just “getting by” with “decent” projects.
Every “decent” project you sell is one less AWESOME and higher priced project.
Let’s say the average price for projects you sell today is $5,000. And you sell an average of 15 projects per year to “get by”.
If you were to sell each project for 35% more in price (which is completely doable with better sales skills and a repeatable process), then you’d make $1,750 more per project, which is $26,250 more per year.
Your unrefined sales skills could be costing you over $25,000 per year–maybe even more.
It’s no wonder you’re frustrated!
Frustration is optional, though.
Eliminate your frustrations by learning to sell higher priced projects without sacrificing your introversion by taking the Bona Fide Selling workshop.
It’s a real game changer.
I understand you more than you may realize
I too was once in the abyss of selling “decent” projects to “get by”. And I understand you more than you think.
I sold my first project for $150 and a burger king sandwich. Yeah, what can I say? Times were tough.
My second project was for $2,000. My third was for $600.
What the heck, right?!
I was frustrated just like you are now.
Something inside of me wasn’t at peace. I was still frustrated. Deep down, I knew I could do better.
After all, I spent years working on my craft! My skills were worth way more than $150 and a freakin’ Burger King Sandwich, dang it!
I was **this** close to going back to corporate america. Software Engineers get paid good money. I could have easily put in my 40-60 hours every week, get paid every two weeks, and say hello to cruise control.
But that kind of life wasn’t enough for me anymore.
I wanted needed more.
The realization that changed my direction
It was time for me to have a say in how, when, and with whom I worked. It was time for me to build a business that created space for me to truly enjoy life.
I’m not talking about partying during the weekends (although that’s an option too). I’m talking about things like:
- Traveling multiple times during the year in a relaxed fashion.
- Working 15-25 hours a week instead of 40-60 hours.
- Having more time for close friends and family.
- Creating my own work schedule tailored to my energy.
It was time for me to curate my life and future.
Instead of going back to “comfortable” corporate america, I took a month off to reframe my entire business and sales process.
As an introvert, my superpower is asking poignant questions to get to the truth of things, including how I worked. I found out that I was imitating the successful salespeople I knew.
The problem was that they were nothing like me…
They came from different places, different cultures, and different experiences. On top of that, they were all extroverted!
I was building a freelance business like an extrovert while being an introvert. It was utterly out of alignment with who I fundamentally was. It made no sense!
Selling projects for 20x more in price and quality
So, I started asking questions. Even more importantly, the right questions.
Every decision I made aligned with who I was. Selling became easy and even enjoyable.
Shortly after, I sold my fourth project for a little over $40,000.
$40,000?!
I know, right?
My highest priced project went from $2,000 to $40,000. Can you imagine how it felt to sell 20x times more?
At first, I thought I got lucky… But then I did it again, and again, and again!
Never again did I sell a project for under 5-digits. Instead of selling 10-15 projects a year, I only had to sell 3 or 4 high-quality projects.
I even took half a year off to travel during 2016 after selling two great projects earlier that year. It was a ton of fun!
Oh, and I wasn’t just “getting by” anymore. I was killin’ the freelance game and enjoying the project work too!
You can master your sales skills too–even as an introverted freelancer
That’s the essence of Bona Fide Selling.

Why this workshop is worth your investment
We’re talking about acquiring a skill that transfers into every future endeavor you decide to tackle.
You’ll recover your investment (and more) by selling your next project using your newly crafted sales process and skills.
And since you plan on selling many more projects with what you learned in the workshop, you’ll earn a lifetime full of dividends.
Enterprise companies used to pay me $3,000+ just to have a one-day discovery meeting with me, which often led to a $20,000+ project shortly afterward.
Enrolling into Bona Fide Selling for only $1,500 is a steal.
And I believe in results so much, that if you’re dissatisfied with the workshop and its results, then I’ll return your money.
The investment is a no-brainer and is secure.
