043 Why does business seem slow this month?

Welcome to Beyond the Clinic

I’m Sarah Almond Bushell, and in this episode, we’re addressing a common challenge - what to do when business feels slow.

Many assume that people aren’t spending in January, but that’s not necessarily true. There are strategies you can implement right now to attract more clients, no matter the time of year.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to effectively pitch your offer to encourage immediate action
• The power of urgency and how to use it to drive bookings
• Overcoming objections before they become barriers to sales
• The importance of audience nurturing to build long-term trust
• How to follow up with leads to ensure you’re not leaving money on the table

Key Takeaways

• Business slowdowns aren’t just seasonal – they often stem from reduced visibility and sales activity
• Are you actively selling? Simply showing up online isn’t enough; you must directly invite people to work with you
• Create urgency – limited spots, deadlines, bonuses, and price increases help encourage immediate action
• Handle objections early – address concerns around time, money, and readiness in your marketing content
• Follow up with potential clients – a simple check-in message can make all the difference
