CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES: Patti Mike - 100% Referral Rate & 3 Price Increases in 8 Months

This week we’re celebrating our client success stories in a short mini series!

Patti Mike is a current client in the Amplified Voices Mastery program and has been working with Paula since December 2020. Unlike many success stories you hear in the online space Patti IS NOT a coach! Patti Mike is a personal academic tutor, with a rapidly growing tutoring agency. Patti connected with Paula wanting to build her direct sales business and leaving her teaching job in a public elementary school not because she didn’t love her work. Patti felt like she couldn’t fully show up as herself as a classroom teacher. The guidelines and processes left her feeling stifled and unable to provide her students with what she knew they needed so greatly!

When Patti completed her Masters in Special Education, she never could have dreamed that she would now be an agency owner serving her students exactly where they are! She has created a life of time freedom, being available for her elderly mother, whilst being truly committed to the kids she works with and creating the next generation of leaders. Patti went from 3 students to full capacity in 2 months, whilst raising her prices and taking requests for months into the future. Patti has a 100% repeat client and referral rate, freeing up her time  to serve her students, recruit her agency teachers and love her life with her family!

Patti and Paula discuss:

The failures of the public education system for all students.

How tutoring went from a side hustle to her direct sales income to a full time, profitable and successful agency.

When she decided to step away from her tenured position to fully serve her students.

Trusting yourself to take big leaps!

How the pandemic affected students across the world.

Navigating business without being “tech savvy” and without social media. 

Going from 1 client to booked out through 100% repeat and referral signings!

Moving past “dollar per hour” pricing as a heart-centered entrepreneur.

Raising her prices 3 times in 8 months to allow her team to thrive!

How teachers create cultures everyday - making them over prepared to lead in entrepreneurship.

Contracting and managing freelance teams in an empowering way. 

How Patti’s huge success  inspired her husband to leave his teaching job and start his dream job!
