In this episode of the Sell Like a Woman podcast, I’m sharing my top tips for online coaches on how to book more calls and sign more clients through Instagram DMs in 2025 and 2026.

I talk about why it’s so important to build genuine connections, avoid over-reliance on AI and automation, provide personalized value, and treat potential clients like real humans.

I'll be diving into exactly how you can stand out, show you're a genuine human, and increase response rate and calls booked without getting lost in the sea of online coaches who are also DMing your leads.

When you do this, you create trust and naturally eliminate objections.

I’ll also share a free leads diagnosis quiz you can take to pinpoint and improve your lead generation strategies.

Today I want to dive into something every online coach needs but so many struggle with: getting consistent leads. I know firsthand how frustrating it is as an online coach to feel like you’re doing all the right things but your DMs, calls, and pipeline just aren’t where you want them to be.

So in this episode, I’m breaking down the top 4 reasons you’re not getting consistent leads in your online coaching business—and how to fix them.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Reason #1: Your niche and messaging aren’t clear. If your audience doesn’t know exactly who you help and how, they’re not going to see themselves in your content.
• Reason #2: You don’t have a consistent content and marketing strategy. Posting whenever you feel like it isn’t a strategy—it’s guessing.
• Reason #3: You’re missing reliable systems for lead generation. Without systems, you’re relying on luck instead of predictability.
• Reason #4: Sales anxiety and lack of confident outreach. If you’re scared of selling, pitching, or following up, you’ll always block leads before they even become clients.

I’m also going to give you some practical ways to diagnose which of these is your biggest block right now, plus some action steps you can start applying today to get more clients.

And at the end, I’ll share a free quiz you can take to identify exactly what’s holding back your lead flow, and I’ll tell you how to grab a free consultation with me so we can audit your business strategy together.

Here’s the breakdown:

• 00:00 — My background & why this matters
• 00:32 — Why consistent leads are everything
• 02:44 — Reason 1: Unclear niche or messaging
• 08:28 — Reason 2: Inconsistent content strategy
• 13:14 — Reason 3: Lack of systems and predictability
• 16:55 — Reason 4: Sales anxiety and lack of confidence
• 22:52 — Free quiz + final thoughts

In this episode of the Sell Like a Woman podcast, I dive into the common issue of sales objections and how they are often triggered by poor questioning techniques.

I discuss why objections are not random and how traditional, masculine sales methods lead to surface-level answers and inevitable objections.

Instead, as women, we advocate for deeper, emotionally engaging questions that build trust and create genuine urgency.

In this video, I outline strategies to prevent objections before they arise and explain the psychology behind effective sales conversations.

In this episode of The Sell Like a Woman podcast, I delve into a subtle yet powerful shift in sales strategy that changed everything for me and my clients. Emphasizing the importance of mindset, I argue that sales should be seen as a service, not a transaction.

By focusing on how to help potential clients make informed and aligned decisions, saleswomen can transform their approach, making it more grounded and less pushy. I also discuss the importance of body language, tone, and the initial 10 seconds of a sales call. I encourage listeners to take notes, reframe their thinking, and lead with the intent of serving and transforming lives.
