How to Get More Clients Without Feeling Salesy

Hate Selling? You’re Not Alone.

If the thought of selling makes you cringe, you’re not alone.
Many coaches, consultants, and service providers feel the same way.

They love what they do. They’re great at helping their clients.
But when it comes to selling their services? That’s where things get tricky.

Maybe you worry about coming across as pushy.
Maybe you’ve been burned by high-pressure sales tactics yourself.
Or maybe, deep down, you wonder…

"What if I put myself out there, and no one says yes?"

Here’s the truth:
Selling doesn’t have to feel awkward, forced, or uncomfortable.
You can attract more clients—without ever feeling salesy.

Let’s talk about how.

Step 1: Drop the 'Convincing' Energy

Most people think selling is about persuasion—convincing someone to buy.

But here’s what happens when you try to convince:
🚫 You feel like you’re pushing.
🚫 Your potential clients feel pressured.
🚫 And both of you end up feeling icky about the whole thing.

Instead of trying to convince, what if you focused on conviction?

✔ Conviction means you deeply believe in what you offer.
✔ Conviction means you know your work creates results.
✔ Conviction means you trust that the right clients will recognize the value—without needing to be “talked into” it.

The best sales conversations don’t feel like selling at all. They feel like:
✔ A natural, easy discussion.
✔ Two people exploring whether working together is a fit.
✔ A space where the client feels safe to make the right decision for them.

When you shift from convincing to conviction, selling becomes effortless.

Step 2: Let Your Energy Do the Selling for You

Most people don’t buy because of what you say.
hey buy because of how they feel when they interact with you.

You don’t need a perfectly crafted sales script.
You don’t need to "handle objections" like a scripted salesperson.
You do need to show up with an energy of trust, confidence, and certainty.

Ask yourself:
👉 Do I believe in the value of my offer?
👉 Am I excited about helping the right clients?
👉 Am I open to receiving new clients with ease?

When you have conviction in your work, clients feel that energy—and they say yes.

(And if you’re doubting your offer right now? That’s your sign to strengthen your belief first, before trying to sell.)

Step 3: Make It Easy for People to Say Yes

If potential clients are hesitating, ask yourself:

❌ Am I making it too complicated for them to take the next step?
❌ Am I putting up unintentional barriers?
❌ Do they know how to work with me?

Most people want to take action—but they won’t if they’re confused, overwhelmed, or unclear.

Make it simple.
✔ Have a clear invitation: “If this feels right for you, here’s the next step.”
✔ Offer easy ways to connect—like a short call or a simple payment link.
✔ Drop the pressure and let them choose.

Remember:
The right clients want to work with you. Your job isn’t to “sell” them.
Your job is to open the door—and let them walk through.
