Who is this program for?
Bona Fide Selling is for introverted freelancers, consultants, and creatives who want to take their selling skills to the next level without sacrificing their introversion.
This program is for you if you want to:
- You’re an introverted freelancer, consultant, or creative who sells projects or services for a living.
- You want to learn how to sell higher-priced projects without sacrificing your introversion or authenticity.
- You want to discover your natural selling style to sell with ease and even enjoy it.
- You want a solid personalized sales process that helps you predict your future work and income.
- You want to meet fellow awesome introverted freelancers.
- You want to build an epic freelance business that gives you space to truly enjoy your life on your own terms.
We introverts simply are built differently and therefore sell differently too.
Who is this program NOT for?
This program is NOT for:
- Extroverts. Sorry but not so sorry. There’s already plenty of content out there for you!
- Non-service based business owners. If you’re not selling projects or services, this program isn’t the right fit for you.
- Those who can’t afford to invest approximately 30 hours spread over 4 weeks to work on their business and their selling skills.
Why is there an application process?
This program isn’t for everyone.
This isn’t your stereotypical $97, $297, or $997 (the number 7 must be magical, huh?) online course you sign up for and quickly forget about.
Gathering like-minded introverts is important. “Like-minded” means those who are driven and committed to improving their sales skills to build their dream business.
(If that’s you, then apply here)
The last thing you want is to be a part of a tribe that can’t keep up with you.
It’s only right to make sure you and others get what you pay for.
What’s the program format and structure like?
Introverts are naturally inquisitive (most of us, at least).
Bona Fide Selling is structured in a way that caters to this inquisitiveness.
The curriculum is composed of 18 questions worth answering. The answers to each question help you 1) identify your natural selling style and 2) craft a sales process tailored to you and your business.
Each question includes a video, brief article, links (for the nerdier peeps like me), and action items.
Every week, we cover a number of questions and craft your sales process accordingly.
You’ll also give and receive feedback to/from your peers on key action items.
80% of your time will be spent working on your business.
What’s the time investment like?
The time investment is relative to you and your business. The more thorough you are, the better results you’ll get.
This is your business you’re working on. You know, the thing that makes you money!
Some action items will take longer than others. This is where feedback from your peers makes a real difference.
If you’re looking for a more black and white answer, then the program is:
- 4 weeks
- 18 questions
- Weekly huddle with 2-3 peers (you can have more if you want)
- Weekly huddle with Luis and the entire class.
The above is approximately 30 hours spread over 4 weeks. Plan to invest at least that much time into the program and your business.
How much does the program cost?
The cost is $1,500 + your time and effort.
Next year, the cost will go up to at least $3,000. And it’s worth even more than that.
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 program, you’ll earn a lifetime full of dividends.
The investment is a no-brainer.
What will I get out of the program?
You’ll get six game-changers from this program:
- Position yourself to attract your ideal clients
- Learn how to prospect in the most efficient and natural way possible.
- Learn to sell your projects for at least 35% more.
- Discover your authentic selling style.
- Develop a personalized solid sales process that makes selling manageable, consistent, and predictable.
- Lifetime access to 18 videos and actionable resources.
These six things alone are enough to make a real difference in your freelancing. More projects, more money, and more free time, but less drain overall.
What’s the class size?
There are 15 people in each term of the program.
This helps me assist each person when needed. Don’t forget, I’m an introvert too! 15 people are all my energy can afford without sacrificing quality.
You’ll have an opportunity to develop friendships with 15 people who are like you in many ways, yet different enough to give great feedback and help you brainstorm.
These kinds of connections are invaluable and often turn into lifelong friendships.
Where does the program take place?
This is an online program. Everything is done remotely. Don’t worry, we use technology that’s easy to use across the board.
How are different time zones handled?
You’ll work on most of the program during the time of your choosing. Since you’re a full-time freelancer, you have the power to make room in your schedule.
The only time slots you’ll have to make room for are the weekly huddles:
- Peer huddles will have a recommended time but are flexible since you and your 2-3 peers might want to meet at a different time.
- Entire class + Luis huddles happen on Friday at Noon CST.
