How Can We Turn that Potential Client into a Paying Client?
Michelle Leotta Notable Quotes
“If you want to make money as a health coach, you want to support your family—you know, I’m a single mom, I have two little boys, I support my family all on my own. And to do that really requires some marketing know-how, so I always tell new coaches, ‘Don’t do another certification. Please, you don’t need more knowledge. You need to work with clients, and in order to work with clients, you need to be able to market yourself.”
– Michelle Leotta
