Shannon Layton Achieved Her First $10,000 Month Using Heart-Based Sales Systems

I started in January, and April I was able to make my first $10,000. Before the Client Attraction Summit, I would approach conversations from a friend perspective, almost as if we haven't seen each other for a while and having a cup of coffee. And while that's great because that does help to make the initial connection, what I really struggled with is how do I pivot and take the conversation into talking about how I might be able to support them and serve the need that they have, and just being more bold and confident and more concise in how I tee that up and how I lead into that part of the conversation. I would say before I was all over the place. I would start on something and then an idea would pop in my head or I'd be like, "Oh, I probably should work on that," and then I would jump and I would just squirrel all over the place. And I just felt like I was starting a lot of stuff, but I wasn't really getting a lot of stuff across the finish line. And so here I was sitting in the Walmart parking lot on this call, just being completely captivated by Sharla and listening to her heart-selling method and listening to how she has helped thousands of coaches and holistic practitioners get clients, and to get to that point where you are making at least $10,000 a month. And so it was that moment, even though Sharla couldn't see me, even though she wasn't talking to me, I felt such a connection to her. I felt such a connection to what she was offering and just her journey. And so I knew. I knew, like, I had finally, I had finally found my person. I'd finally found my people. She had the system that I had been searching for a couple of years actually. Absolutely. So I just am so grateful and thankful that I trusted and I invested in the Thrive Academy, and I continuously lean on their templates. I continuously go back to the system. I just keep hearing Jessie, "Just trust the system. If you work the system every day..." When I have to write an email, when I have to reach out to start a conversation, when I know I'm going into a consult conversation, those templates, they're pulled up, they're at quick access because I really do lean on them, and I really am taking everything that Jessie and Sharla have built and taking it to heart. Jessie and Sharla, through the Thrive Academy, they really helped me have a framework that I could stick to to be very intentional, still warm and authentic, but yet more concise and more deliberate and more bold and confident, and really getting to that place where people are comfortable saying yes. What's different with working with Thrive is, again, it really helps me stay focused. It helps me stay clear. It helps me make sure I'm allocating my effort, time, and energy to the right percentages in the right ways. So I'm being much more productive and, as a result, much more successful in the amount of yeses that I'm getting to connect. I'm confident. I know that my business has the support structure in place that it needs to continue to have that growth trajectory. If you are struggling with confidence, if you are struggling with trying to figure out how you should be allocating your time every day, every week, if you are struggling to figure out the right words to just reach out to people and start the conversation in a way that makes you still feel whole, this is where Thrive really can help you. They literally have given you literally everything on a silver platter with step-by-step instructions. The clients, you will walk away with some really powerful, practical action steps and I think much more confidence.
