How to Market Yourself as an OBM Without Feeling Salesy

Marketing yourself as an Online Business Manager (OBM) can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re worried about coming across as pushy or salesy. But here’s the truth: the best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing at all—it feels like leadership.

In this episode of The OBM Show, I’m breaking down exactly how to position yourself as an in-demand OBM without constantly promoting yourself. From using the power of strategic questioning (yes, talking less can actually attract more clients) to stepping into your OBM alter ego, I’ll show you how to confidently market yourself and attract premium clients who already see your value.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why marketing feels uncomfortable for many OBMs (and how to shift your mindset)
• How The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier can transform your discovery calls
• The exact questions that get clients to sell themselves on hiring you
• How an alter ego can help you show up more confidently in your marketing
• Why clients love me the most when I say less and listen more
• How to position yourself as an OBM leader and leave businesses better than you found them
