Your service packages aren't selling—but it's probably not what you think.This week, I'm sharing the story of an incredibly talented OBM who had beautiful, professional-looking packages that nobody was buying. Not because she wasn't good at what she did. Not because her pricing was off. But because she was solving Problem A when her clients desperately needed help with Problem Z.If you've ever had people say "that sounds great!" and then disappear... or if you're spending half your discovery calls explaining what you do... or if clients sign up then ghost after a month—this episode is for you. In This Episode:Why building offers based on your skills (instead of their problems) keeps you stuckThe 4 red flags that your offer isn't landingHow to discover what problems your ideal clients are ACTUALLY struggling withThe reframe that doubled one strategist's booking rateWhy you should price for value, not timeA practical 3-step plan you can do this week The bottom line: Your offer isn't broken.
