What's driving the sales is everything happening around it these funnels, an entire ecosystem, and what is really making people buy in 2026. I'm sharing exactly how I track and adjust both funnels behind the scenes (and why "set it and forget it" is one of the most expensive lies in online business), how many touchpoints it actually takes to turn a cold lead into a client right now, and I'm closing with a real client story that shows exactly what happens when all of this comes together: she signed her contract and paid her first installment within less than an hour of...

I'm pulling back the curtain on the two funnels running in my business right now — one converting at 50-52%, the other consistently at 70%. Industry standard is around 30%. Before you assume the higher number wins, listen in — I'm breaking down exactly why the "lower converting" funnel is often the one bringing me clients faster, and what's actually behind numbers like these. This episode is for you if: You're doing all the things, posting content, building funnels, running ads and it still isn't converting into leads and clients. You feel like you need to be chained to social media...

Are you creating a freebie or running a masterclass and not getting the attendees you'd like? Have a gut feeling you are running traffic to messaging that isn't converting? Getting clicks on your landing page but people aren't giving you their email address? Are you not getting the leads and sales you want for your offers, so you always feel like you need to create something new? If you're wondering where you're going wrong, then this episode is for you! Because here's what I see again and again. It's rarely the offer that's the problem. It's the messaging and the copy wrapped...

Over the last couple of years there's been a trust recession online. Buyers are more sceptical, the online space is loud with Ai slop. And many business owners are finding that the things that used to work aren't working as well as they once did. Yet there is one simple strategy that has helped me build trust across all four of my businesses for almost 30 years to create demand, it helps build a sustainable business, and until now I have only shared this with my clients. It's helped me attract more leads, convert more sales, raise my rates. And build businesses that were in demand. The...

I see so many brilliant business owners working incredibly hard and not getting the results they want, and it's because they hav't caught up with what people are craving. In this week's episode of Life by Design, I'm sharing something I've been noticing, that I've been supporting my clients to solve beacuse the businesses getting attention right now aren't necessarily the ones producing the most content. They're the ones creating connection, experiences, and sharing their unique perspectives. Their stories and what they believe to be true. and specifically what they're...

This Overlooked Strategy Is Helping Me And My Clients Fill Our Offers Right Now Are you thinking "I'm working so hard. Why isn't this working?" You're showing up, Creating content, Sending emails. Running masterclasses, Launching offers. Trying all the things. Yet somehow the results don't match the effort you're putting in. When that happens, it's easy to assume something is broken. It's easy to convince yourself you need a new offer, a new strategy, a new niche, or a completely different plan. But what I’ve seen from my high touch, high level 1:1 coaching and small roster...

This week’s episode of Life by Design is for the high achieving business owner who is constantly making herself wrong. The woman doing the mindset work. The journalling. The therapy. The personal development. The woman who is deeply self aware and always looking inward to see what she needs to fix. Because sometimes… it isn’t a mindset problem. Sometimes the problem is that you’ve become so conditioned to believe that you are always the problem. In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful conversation I had with a client recently that completely shifted the way she saw herself, her work,...

What if the reason your content is no longer converting has nothing to do with the algorithm… and everything to do with the fact that your audience is craving something else from you? In this week’s episode of Life by Design, Claire shares the biggest shift she’s seeing in the online space right now after 30 years of building successful brands and helping clients grow sustainable businesses. If you’re posting consistently but not seeing the sales, leads, engagement, or connection you want… If your content feels flat, forced, or like it’s blending into the noise… If you’re...
info_outlineThere is one conversation I have with almost every single client I work with, and in this weeks episode I have decided to share it with you.
It is a big part of why my clients results shift so quickly.
The clients you see going from no sales to fully booked with a 3 month waitlist
From 1K months to consistent 18K months
From stuck and second guessing to clear, confident, and in demand
In this episode, I am taking you inside that conversation so you can see exactly what is keeping your messaging from standing out and resonating in 2026 to bring you clients.
This episode is for you if:
- You know you are good at what you do but your content is not converting into sales
- You feel frustrated watching others, and like you are the best kept secret.
- You hold back in your messaging because you are worried about how it will be received
- You are tired of blending in and want your content to get seen and you get paid so you can help more people
- You want your messaging to reflect your values and bring you dream aligned clients you'll love working with
What we cover in this episode:
- The real reason people with less experience are making more sales than you
- Why “playing it safe” in your messaging is costing you clients
- What it actually means to create messaging that activates people to buy
- The role of polarising content and why it matters more than you think
- How holding back is sending your dream clients to the wrong people
- The essential piece you're missing that will help you grow, your visibility and business
- How to handle judgement, criticism, or people not agreeing with you
The truth most people avoid
Your dream clients are already out there looking for support.
If your messaging is not speaking directly to their reality, they will buy from someone else.
Not because that person is better
But because they are clearer
This episode will help you see where you might be holding back and give you permission to start saying the things that will have you getting more leads and making more sales.
