Field Service Representative

You’ve spent years building expertise.

Now it’s time to finally own your calendar.

I’m Dale Gibbons, and I help seasoned professionals turn their experience into high-ticket consulting businesses. 

I work with corporate escapees, exited founders and military veterans who know they’re capable of more than another 5 years in the corporate grind. 

You don’t have to be:

- At the mercy of an employer’s decisions
- Drowning in conflicting advice and tactics
- Chasing referrals that aren’t worth your expertise

You already have 90% of what it takes. My role is helping you reach that last 10%. 

Anyone who has a genius zone can build a consulting business that funds freedom and legacy.

Over the past 18 years, I’ve coached hundreds of consultants and coaches to: 

✅ Build premium consulting offers based on transformation, not time

✅ Fill workshops that generate qualified leads on autopilot

✅ Convert without pressure using my Benevolent Servant Leader™ sales framework

✅ Systematize delivery and scale through proprietary frameworks and group programs

The result: Businesses that create freedom.

I’ve built a solid, repeatable system that attracts qualified leads, clearly shows your value, and converts trust into premium, long-term engagements.  

Here’s what clients say:

- “Dale helped me replace my corporate income in 90 days.”
- “This system gave me my confidence, and pipeline, back.”
- “I finally feel like I’m running a business, not just doing client work.”

If you’re considering consulting as your next chapter and are:

❌ Unsure how to get consistent, high-value clients
❌ Struggling to explain to leads your premium pricing
❌ Drowning in tools but not seeing traction

I’d be glad to show you a better way. 

DM me if you’d like to hear more.

Or, if you’d prefer to see the system in action first, watch this quick video:

Let’s build the consulting business that funds your freedom and gives you your life back.

We help business advisors (and those who want to be) use AI to create a reliable 6-figure+ income and leave the rat race forever.

Most consultants are treating AI like a magic button.

These prompts create results you can bill for.

AI becomes powerful when you use it to amplify your thinking and refine the core areas of your business.

I’ve been exploring how to do that inside my own consulting practice and sharing what works with my clients.

Here are some of the most effective prompts I’ve developed across each area of the business:

Strategy
"Evaluate the strategic implications of this market shift and propose three viable response options"
"Assess the attractiveness of entering [market] using a capabilities vs. opportunity fit analysis."

Marketing
"Analyze this customer data and produce insight-driven recommendations for demand generation."
"Map the customer journey and identify friction points that reduce conversion or retention."

Operations
"Design a future-state workflow that reduces cycle time and improves quality."
"Quantify the financial benefits of addressing process inefficiencies."

Finance & Analytics
"Develop a high-level financial model structure to evaluate this business opportunity."
"Perform a variance analysis and explain operational drivers behind the numbers."

People & Organization
"Create a change management plan with stakeholders, risks, and communication needs."
"Propose a succession planning approach for mission-critical roles."

I've put together 50 prompts across all five categories in the cheat sheet below.

Each one is designed to give you a structured starting point, not a finished product.

Try out a few, and save the rest for when you need a reference point.

Escape the rat race by turning your experience and skills into a 7-figure consulting income.

Are you willing to be seen as "too much" if it means saving someone's business?

Prospects don’t hire consultants for credentials.
They hire the person who understands their pain and cares enough to help them through it.

The problem is, many consultants focus so hard on looking polished that their real passion never shows.
They hold back to seem “professional” and end up sounding like everyone else.

Meanwhile, the consultant with less experience but more energy wins clients by making them feel understood.

That’s the difference. Clients choose the person who shows they care, not the one who’s afraid to stand out.

So instead of trying to look polished, focus on being authentic.
Here are a few actions you can do this week:

1. Find the fire.
What’s an injustice in your industry that makes your blood boil? How is it affecting the small business owners who deserve better?

2. Tell your story.
Share the real reason why you do this work. Tell the story of what you’ve been through and who you’re trying to help.

3. Light the match.
Send 10 DMs today. You don’t need a polished pitch. Tell them, “Hey, I saw your website and I think you might be leaving money on the table. Would it help to hop on a call and talk it through?”

Nobody in the world is better at being you than you.

When you stop playing it safe, you give people permission to trust you with their real problems.

That's when cold outreach becomes a public service.

If you’re struggling to pinpoint what’s holding back the next stage of your business growth, I’ve built something that could help.

My Consultant Archetype quiz gives you a detailed report on your current growth phase, your biggest blind spot, and how to fix things fast.

Prospects don't care about buzzwords.

They just want their problems solved.

A common problem I see is consultants trying to be too clever with their wording.

I've been in business for 40 years. If their positioning is unclear to me, it might as well be in another language for a prospect.

I always recommend reading "Why Business People Speak Like Idiots".

Then, to go back and tighten up your messaging.

In the meantime, here are a few phrases to avoid, and what to say instead:

1. When setting the agenda:
Instead of: "Let's align on strategic priorities for this engagement."
Say: "Let's start with what's most important to you right now."

2. When asking a prospect about their problems:
Instead of: "Can you identify the key pain points impacting your current performance?"
Ask: "What’s getting in the way of your business running the way you want it to?"

3. When talking about growth:
Instead of: "Our objective is to design scalable systems that drive sustainable growth."
Say: "Let’s build simple systems that help you grow without adding chaos."

4. When giving feedback:
Instead of: "Your current strategy appears misaligned with established best practices."
Say: "There’s an easier way to get the results you’re after."

5. When presenting results:
Instead of: "We’ve observed measurable improvement across multiple key performance indicators."
Say: "You’re up 18%. Here’s what’s working and where we can keep improving."

6. When facing resistance:
Instead of: "While I understand your concerns, our methodology has consistently produced results across similar client engagements."
Say: "I get it. Let’s look at how this would work in your situation?"

7. When selling the next step:
Instead of: "We offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to optimize profitability and performance."
Say: "I can help you find and fix the profit that’s already in your business."

8. When following up:
Instead of: "I wanted to touch base to confirm receipt of the proposal and inquire about your decision timeline."
Say: "Just checking in. Does this still feel like the right next move for you?"

9. When wrapping up a meeting:
Instead of: "Let’s recap the key takeaways and confirm action items for next steps."
Say: "Here’s what we agreed on and what happens next."

Prospects just want things made easy.

If your message feels like work, they’ll move on.

Keep it simple. That’s what gets people on side.

Expertise gets you in the room.
Change management keeps you there.

One of the biggest mistakes consultants make is thinking strategy is enough.

It’s not.

Unexecuted ideas don’t drive outcomes.
Without change management, strategy stalls before it starts.

Clients don’t just need a plan. They need help getting people to follow it.

That’s where change frameworks come in.

The right one cuts through resistance, brings clarity fast, and guides people through the messy middle.

Here are 6 that work:

Kotter’s 8-Step Change Framework
From building urgency to embedding new habits, this step-by-step roadmap helps lead large-scale transformation with momentum and clarity.

Lewin’s 3-Phase Model
Unfreeze, change, refreeze. A simple way to help people let go of old ways and lock in new behaviors.

Prosci Change Triangle (PCT)
Combines leadership, project management, and change strategy to align every part of the business around a shared goal.

ADKAR Model
Focuses on individual adoption—awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, and reinforcement. A great tool for spotting what’s holding change back.

McKinsey Influence Model
Change sticks when behavior shifts. This model emphasizes leadership example, shared meaning, skill-building, and reinforcement.

BCG’s Change Delta Model
A big-picture framework that aligns leadership, governance, execution, and employee engagement to drive long-term results.

Strong consultants don’t just deliver plans.

They help teams take action—and make it stick.

Which of these frameworks do you lean on when leading change?

Solving the wrong problem is expensive.

Here’s how to get it right the first time.

Consulting is not about giving advice. It’s about finding what causes a client’s pain and fixing it.

Clients often struggle to explain what’s wrong. When the problem feels overwhelming, they don’t know where to start.

Your job is to help them see it clearly and move forward with confidence.

A few good frameworks can turn a client's confusion into a clear path forward.

Here are six that deliver:

The PDCA Cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act)
Identify the issue and plan an approach. Test on a small scale. Check the results. Standardize successful methods.

The 5 Whys Technique
Define the problem clearly. Ask "Why?" and record the answer. Repeat up to five times or until the root cause becomes clear.

Value Stream Mapping
Write down each step in a process. Identify where time, effort, or resources are wasted. Streamline the process and monitor results.

Impact vs. Effort Matrix
Map tasks on a 2x2 grid by impact and effort. Highlight high-impact, low-effort tasks as quick wins. Invest heavily in high-impact, high-effort tasks. Delete low-value, high-effort tasks.

Root Cause Analysis
Identify the symptoms of a problem and their effects. Trace the cause to the source. Validate your theory with data or testing. Solve the issue.

SWOT Analysis
List your internal strengths and weaknesses. Spot external opportunities and threats. Match your strengths to opportunities, and try to minimize weaknesses and external threats.

Every consultant has their own way of uncovering the real issue behind a client’s challenges.

Experiment with these frameworks until you find the ones that fit your style and industry. Combined with your experience, they’ll help you spot patterns faster, solve deeper problems, and build more trust with every client you meet.

If you're still struggling, there might be something in your consulting business that needs more clarity.

I built a Consulting Archetype Quiz to help. In a few minutes, it'll uncover your consultant archetype, your biggest blind spot, and the next steps you need to take.

Most people overthink networking.

They show up hoping to impress the right person, say the right thing, and walk away with a new opportunity.

That’s not how it works.

If you want to build real relationships, stop trying to “network” and start acting like someone who belongs in the room.

I’ve always preferred to act like the co-host.

Even if it’s not my event, I walk in like I belong there. I find the bathrooms, check out the food, and look for ways to help people feel at home.

Because when people feel at ease around you, they start opening up—and that’s when real connection happens.

Here’s how to network well in any room:

Tell Your Story
Share a short and honest story that explains why you do what you do.

Pay Attention to Body Language
Stand with confidence, stay relaxed, and make eye contact to help others feel at ease.

Act Like a Co-Host
Focus on helping others feel welcome and connected as if you were hosting the event yourself.

Ask Real Questions
Move beyond small talk by asking thoughtful questions that invite real conversation.

Stop Trying to Impress
Focus on being present and curious instead of trying to prove your value.

Lead With Generosity
Set a simple goal to connect at least one person to someone else before you leave.

You don’t need to perform.
You just need to be helpful and yourself.

That’s what builds trust.
And trust is what leads to clients, referrals, and strong relationships.

Most consultants want to become the go-to expert.

But few take the time to build the skills that actually make them hard to replace.

At some point, almost every consultant hits a wall.
Things might be working, but not enough to break through.

If you want consistent, high-ticket clients, there are 9 skills that make the difference.

Take a look and see which one might be holding you back.

1. Communicate Clearly
↳ Talking more doesn’t mean saying more. Make sure your message is clear and that people actually understand what you mean.

2. Assess Before You Act
↳ Slow down and really look at what needs fixing. The answer is often right in front of you.

3. Build Practical Strategy
↳ You don’t need something flashy. A good strategy is clear, practical, and tied to real results.

4. Understand The Clients World
↳ Do the work to learn about the person, the business, and the problems they face. That’s where real solutions come from.

5. Lead by Example
↳ Be prepared, follow through, and do what you said you would do.

6. Earn Trust Through Results
↳ Earn trust quickly with a small win, then keep it by doing consistent, valuable work.

7. Stay Flexible with Purpose
↳ Stay flexible when things change, but never lose your standards or sense of direction.

8. Negotiate Fairly
↳ Good negotiation isn’t about winning. It’s about finding a fair deal everyone can respect.

9. Create Meaningful Change
↳ It’s not about sounding smart. It’s about doing work that leaves the business better than you found it.

Mastering these skills is what changes your business from 6-figures to 7-figures.

We’re living in a trust recession.

And the only antidote is being authentic.

We’ve been in it for a while, but these days technology is moving faster than ever.

We’re using AI in more and more of our work, and people’s antennas are up (as they should be).

It’s getting harder to tell what’s real and what’s not.

I’ve seen this with my own friends and family. There have been times I’ve had to tell them that a video they were watching was AI-generated.

Look, I think AI is as exciting as it is concerning.

It’s here to stay, but it can strip the humanity out of what it creates.

(I’m still a bit sad about the poor em dash. It never stood a chance.)

The erosion of trust, both personally and professionally, is one of the biggest challenges we’re facing right now.

But I think we can close that gap the same way we always have.

Spend time talking with people face to face and have real conversations. Show up as yourself, not the version you think they expect to see.

AI might make the work faster or more efficient, but it can’t replace experience, empathy, or judgment. It can’t replace the human part of what we do.

We’ve gone through the struggles, and we have the human experience to say, “I know what you’re going through. Here’s how I can help.”

People are hungry for someone who actually understands their problems.

AI can help you find them faster, but it’s your personality, experience, and judgment that provide the real value.

I used to lose clients I should have kept.

Then I realized I was wearing the wrong hat.

I believe that every consultant has three different hats they need to use.

Coach: Where you help clients see things clearly and make strategic moves.

Consultant: Where you help clients with hands-on implementation.

Mentor: Where you help clients grow as leaders.

I've lost clients becuase at times, I was trying to solve problems while wearing the wong hat.
I'd consult when someone needed a coach, or coach when they needed mentoring.

But over time, I began to figure how where and when my expertise was needed.

Picture an NFL football team.

When you're the coach, you stand on the sidelines. 
↳ You spot what the players can't see and give a clear strategy, but you're not on the field with them.

When you're the consultant, you're in the huddle with the team.
↳ You've got the systems and the elbow grease to deliver.

When you're the mentor, you're not at the game.
↳ But you're a phone call away when a player needs guidance.

The best consultants master all three of these roles. But most never learn when to switch.

Typically, they build their identity around one particular role that they're comfortable with and try to solve the wrong problems.

When you're able to adapt and put on the right hat at the right time, you maintain the skills that solve high-ticket problems.

If a client can't see their blind spots, you put on the coaching hat.
If they're drowning in execution, you put on the consulting hat.
And if they're wondering if they're in the right game, you put on the mentoring hat.

If you can master that, you can accept any high-ticket client that comes your way.

The magic is knowing which hat to wear when.

Think about your current clients. Which hat are you wearing with each of them?

I've also created a quiz that helps uncover what other skills you might be weaker on and how you can move forward.

In a few minutes, you'll get a detailed report on what your consultant archetype is and a roadmap of what to do next.

Presenting is one of those skills that catches a lot of consultants off guard.

They know their material and have years of real experience behind them. But the moment they step into a room, the dynamics change.

I see the same issues show up again and again:
The equipment isn’t set up the way it should be.
The lighting makes it hard to see the slides.
The room layout works against the message.
And once the presentation starts, filler words, dense slides, or unclear transitions make it difficult for clients to stay with them.

None of this means they aren’t capable.
It simply means the presentation wasn’t set up for success.

Over the years, I’ve developed a set of principles I teach my consultants to help them avoid these pitfalls.

Here are eight of them:

Own Your Equipment and Environment
Don't rely on anyone else for equipment or supplies. Arrive early to test and confirm everything is working.

Tell a Client-Relevant Story
Use a short story that mirrors your audience's challenges. Problem, solution, impact.

Ditch Dense Slides
Have one concept per slide. Minimal text. If people are reading, they're not listening.

Make Numbers Meaningful
Translate data into something real. Don't say "12% attrition." Say "1 in 8 team members is leaving each year."

Use the Rule of Three
Structure your message around three key points. Our brains love patterns.

Rehearse Like a pro
Great presenters look spontaneous, but every word and beat is rehearsed. Practice your timing, pauses, and transitions.

Strengthen Delivery and Clarity
Be intentional with your language and avoid filler words that weaken your credibility.

Create a “Wait for It…” Moment
Save one insight, reveal, or recommendation for near the end. Pause before delivering it. Make it unforgettable.

Strong presenters don't wing it. They prepare, simplify, and deliver intentionally.

If your presenting skills are already strong, and you're figuring out your next step to grow, I built a quiz to help.

It gives you a personal report of your consulting archetype and a roadmap of what to do next.

Top consulting firms don’t win projects because their slides look better.

They win because their message is easier to follow.

There is a structure behind it.

One that’s been proven in thousands of boardroom decisions.
And one that every independent consultant can learn to use.

It looks like this:

Front Page
Introduces the work, sets the tone, and makes it clear who it’s for.

Executive Summary
Tells the story in one slide so the decision-maker doesn’t need to dig for the point.

Body of Slides
Walks through the analysis one insight at a time, with only the information needed to back it up.

Recommendations
Lays out what needs to happen next in simple, actionable terms.

Appendix
Holds the detail for anyone who needs to see the work behind the work.

Each section has a purpose.
Each slide has a point.
Each title tells you what matters.

You don’t need a team of analysts or a big logo behind you to create high-trust presentations.

But the structure has to do the work.

Clear thinking, laid out the right way, earns attention.
It shows clients you’re serious, prepared, and ready to lead.

That’s how you compete.

Not by trying to match the big firms slide for slide, but by making it easier to say yes to your ideas.

 How To Structure A Consulting Presentation

Decades of expertise don't guarantee job security.

I found that out after getting laid off.

For years, I stayed in corporate, climbed to the top, and believed my results spoke for themselves.

I thought my expertise mattered, but I was still fired for being "too entrepreneurial."

That's when I realized even great performance doesn't protect you from budget cuts, restructures, or a manager who doesn't see your value.

But all of that knowledge under your belt is still valuable. That realization led me to start consulting.

If you're thinking about making a similar change, here's what I suggest:

1. Start with what people turn to you for.
At this point in life, people are probably asking you for advice in one certain area. Focus on that. 

2. Start sharing what you know in public. 
You can do that through social media, speaking, or even a newsletter. The important thing is that you stay consistent.

3. Attract people who have expensive problems and the money to solve them.
Identify your ideal client avatar and talk to as many people as possible with no intent to sell (yet.)

4. Create an irresistible offer.
Make your solution easy to understand and the transformational journey clear. 

5. Think of sales as leadership.
It clears out the head trash you might have about your own offering, and makes it easier for clients to trust you.

6. Create a transformational experience.
Prospects want a solution to their pain. Show them how your work creates that change.

7. Share stories of how your clients' lives improved after working with you. 
Social proof is powerful. Show your prospects what they can expect from working with you.

8. Ask for referrals.
When a client is happy, tell them about your referral program and make it easy for them to share your name. 

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8
Refine the process as you go along. Focus on the 20% of work that creates 80% of results.

10. Live your life
Life isn't just all work. Build relationships that allow you to maximize the time you have with people in your inner circle.

You don't have to change everything at once. You build those consulting skills one step at a time.

There are people who'll pay for your insight because they need experience and perspective to solve their problems.

Don't wait for a round of layoffs to force you to bet on yourself.

Give yourself permission to try.

10Steps To Turn Your Skills Into A 6Figure+ Income

Some everyday phrases can do real damage.

Start speaking like the expert you are.

How we speak to clients either builds trust or weakens it before we’ve had a chance to help.

I've made the mistake of saying the wrong thing before.

Some of it was leftover habits from corporate. Some of it was insecurity I hadn't fully shaken off.

But I learned that either way, it was fixable.

If you've ever self-edited when talking to a client, this post is for you.

Here are the phrases you ought to avoid, and what to say instead:

Instead of: “I think this might work…”
Say: “Here’s what I recommend based on similar situations.”

Instead of: “Just my two cents…”
Say: “From my experience, here’s what I’d suggest.”

Instead of: “Let me know what you’d like me to do.”
Say: “Here’s the next step I suggest we take.”

Instead of: “I’m probably wrong, but…”
Say: “This may challenge the current approach, but it’s worth considering.”

Instead of: “This might be a dumb question, but…”
Say: “I have a clarifying question.”

Instead of: “Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.”
Say: “Let me know if I should explain that differently.”

Instead of: “That’s not really my area.”
Say: “That’s outside my scope, but I can recommend someone who handles that.”

Instead of: “Hopefully this works.”
Say: “Let’s test this and adjust as needed.”

Instead of: “I’m just a solo consultant.”
Say: “You’ll be working directly with me. No delays or middlemen.”

Instead of: “Everyone’s doing it this way.”
Say: “That’s the common approach, but let’s decide what fits your situation best.”

The right language positions you as a guide, not just another vendor.

If you're competing on price, you've already lost.

Here's how to fix it before 2026.

This is the season where consultants finish strong and set the tone for the year ahead.

And funny enough, a conversation with my nephew got me thinking about what it really means to start the new year right.

He’s been staying at my place, getting used to farm life.
One morning, he cracked an egg into the skillet and asked:

"Uncle Dale, why is the yolk so orange?"

I told him those eggs came from our friends who raise free-range chickens, not factory-farmed ones.

We had a whole conversation about the difference before he hit me with the big question:

"So why doesn't everyone just do free-range?"

The answer to that is the same reason most consultants are broke.

Everyone's trying to scale, productize, and compete on price.
That's factory-farmed thinking.

But the best consultants are free-range.
They've positioned themselves as a category of one.

If you're ready to do the same for 2026,
here are the steps to follow:

1. Identify Your Uncopyable Elements
Write down what makes you fundamentally different: Your lived experience, the patterns you see, and the lessons you've learned. 

2. Raise Your Prices Dramatically
Premium positioning requires premium pricing. Stop charging like a commodity. $10k-30k monthly retainers position you as an irreplaceable strategic partner.

3. Get Ruthlessly Selective
Fire your commodity clients. Keep and attract the ones who value wisdom over price.

4. Shift to Partnership Model
Stop selling projects. Start building strategic partnerships with your clients.

5. Use AI to Amplify Speed, Not Replace Value
AI compresses research from weeks to days, but that's not what clients pay for. They pay you to see opportunities they don't see yet.

2026 is coming fast, and the path you choose now will shape your pipeline for next year.

You can either keep competing as a commodity consultant,
or become a category of one and attract premium clients.

If you're serious about attracting premium clients in 2026 i'm hosting a free webinar on Thursday 👇

Being a good communicator is table stakes.

Being a structured communicator is what makes you valuable.

Consultants often communicate from their own perspective instead of aligning with what the client actually cares about.

But as marketing copywriter Robert Collier once said, the key to influence is to "enter the conversation already going on in your prospect's mind."

That means getting out of your own head and focusing on what they care about.

Here are 7 communication frameworks to help you do that:

MOCAA Method
Shift focus from yourself to the prospect. Turns casual chats into lead-generating conversations.

Pyramid Principle
Start with the answer, then back it with logic and data. A go-to for clear, structured recommendations.

SCQA Framework
Frame problems the way clients experience them. Builds tension, then resolves it with your solution.

PREP Method
Stay calm and clear under pressure. Great for making your point when challenged on the spot.

COIN Model
Feedback without the awkwardness. Keeps it objective, actionable, and easy to hear.

What? So What? Now What?
Simplify complex data into insight and action. Keeps clients focused on what matters most.

RACI Matrix
Clarifies roles on messy projects. Everyone knows who’s doing what and who needs to be looped in.

Strong consultants don’t just share ideas.
They communicate them in ways that move people to act.

That’s what builds trust.
That’s what earns buy-in.
And that’s what gets you invited back into the room.

If you want to grow your consulting business, sharpening how you communicate is one of the highest-leverage places to start.

And if you're trying to pinpoint what phase of growth you're in and where to focus next, I built a quiz that will help.

It's hard to keep going when nothing seems to move.

That's when daily 1% improvements make a difference. 

When you're starting out as a consultant, there are times when it feels like you're bumping your head against a glass ceiling.
And sometimes it doesn’t feel like glass at all. It feels like solid concrete. 

I've been there. And I've got the calloused forehead to prove it.
But there's a way to break through whatever obstacle you're facing. 

Let me tell you about Dave Brailsford.

He took the British cycling team, who'd never won the Tour de France, and turned them into world champions.

He didn't have some grand strategy. He focused on 1% improvements.

His team chose the best pillows and brought them to every hotel stop.
They identified the most effective massage gel.
And he instructed cyclists on the best hand-washing techniques to prevent infections. 

He called it the aggregation of marginal gains.

I call it the compounding of marginal gains.

The compound effect of those improvements turned the British cycling team into a force to be reckoned with.

In consulting, it's the same story.

You don't need to burn everything down and rebuild. 
You need to focus on what you can improve by 1% each day.

There are four clear steps to this:

Plan
Use what you know to map out your approach. Decide what steps you'll take and what a successful outcome should look like.

Do
Put your plan into motion on a small scale. This stage is about trial and learning, not launching something big, so keep it simple and controlled.

Check
Pause to review what happened. Did things turn out the way you expected? What worked, what didn’t, and what caught you off guard?

Adjust
If the test went well, build on it and start rolling it out more widely. If not, use what you learned to fine-tune your approach. Then run the cycle again with those improvements in mind.

Your time, multiplied by effort, creates big results. 

If you're looking for the next step of your plan,
I built a quiz that'll give you a personalized roadmap.

No one asks me, "How much does this cost?" anymore.

Here’s what changed.

When I meet a business owner for the first time, maybe at a networking event, the conversation always gets to the same question:

"So Dale, what do you do?"

Most consultants see that as a cue to start selling.
I see it as a chance to anchor value.

I use something I call the MOCAA Talk Track.

Whenever someone asks what I do, I'll say something like this:
"I'm just out here turning nickels into quarters."

There's a specific reason I say that.

It anchors value before we ever talk about price. And you have to do this early on in conversations.

By the time money comes up, I’ve probably used that nickels-to-quarters line two or three times.
So when pricing does come up, they already understand what it means.

I’ll ask, “If you give me a nickel and I give you a quarter, is that a fair exchange?”
The answer is yes.

Then I’ll ask, “If you give me a nickel and I keep giving you a quarter, do you ever want to stop doing that?”
The answer is no.

So later, when I find $500,000 in untapped profit in their business, that’s the quarter.
I only need the nickel.

By that point, it’s simple math.

But your words matter too.
Never say, “I take 20% of profit.”

Nobody wants to give anything away.
But if they give me a nickel and I hand them back a quarter, they’re fine with that every time.

And if someone pushes back, which doesn’t happen often, I’ll say, “I get it. $25,000 is a lot. It’s just not as much as $500,000.”

So when it comes to pricing, the work isn’t in the numbers.
It’s in how early you frame the value.

Do it before the question ever comes up.
If you wait until someone asks, you’re already too late.

That’s why I use the nickels-to-quarters line right from the start.
It keeps me out of price conversations and inside value conversations.

That’s where you want to be.

How To Talk About Price As A Consultant

The most successful consultants aren’t extraordinary.

They do ordinary things with relentless consistency while everyone else is busy getting distracted.

They’re not bouncing around.
They just keep doing the fundamentals again and again with discipline.

They know results take time.
Sometimes weeks.
But when you’re in a place of scarcity, those weeks feel like forever.

That’s where most people stop.
Not because they’re not capable.
But because they haven’t built the resilience to push through that gap.

Especially if they’ve come from a job where the paycheck just shows up.
They’ve never had to think about cash flow.
They’ve never had to manage the mental pressure of building something on their own.

But that’s what this work demands.
The ability to stay focused, keep moving, and let the results catch up.

And through it all, remember:

Nobody can do what you do the way you do it.
That’s what makes you valuable. Don’t forget it.

If you're trying to pinpoint how to grow your consulting business, I built a quiz that'll help.

It gives you a personal report of your consultant archetype, biggest blind spot, and a roadmap of your next steps.

My webinar blueprint has generated $50M+ in sales.

Here's the step-by-step breakdown:

Webinars and workshops can be tricky for many consultants to get right.

On one end of the spectrum, some people spend the whole session pushing their services.
On the other hand, some give away so much value that prospects think they can do it on their own.

But when you get it right, webinars are teaching sessions that naturally lead to your offer.

I've used this exact framework and shared it with other consultants because it gets results without the sleazy feeling.

Here's how it works:

1. Start with a Magnetic Hook & Bold Claim:
In the first few minutes, establish a time frame, state what you're going to teach, and present the ideal outcome for your audience.

2. Present Inclusive Authority & Who This is For:
Establish your credibility through results, experience, and social proof.

3. Share the Agenda & The Single Most Important Thing:
Give your audience clear expectations of what you'll cover. Share the single most important idea that makes your solution clear.

4. Challenge Identification via The Shift Method:
Call out the biggest false assumptions your audience has and show them a better way to think about their situations.

5. Share the Solution Framework via The Bridge Method:
Present your core process or system. Keep it simple. Name each step, explain why it matters, and how it connects to their desired outcome.

6. Present the Proof & Case Study Sandwich:
Share up to three case studies that tap into different audience segments. Tell them the setup, how you applied your framework, and specific results.

7. Natural Bridge Transition:
Present two paths. The audience applies the knowledge they've gained by themselves, or they receive your personal guidance and services.

8. Share Your Value Stack Offer:
Present your core services as an appealing offer. Let them know what support they have, exclusive bonuses, the total value, and the total investment.

9. Bring in Logical Urgency & Close:
Give people a real reason to act now. It could be limited spaces, bonus support, or a clear guarantee of work.

This method has proven to work for me. That's why I teach consultants to use it themselves.

When you lead with your expertise and a clear offering, the sale becomes a natural next step instead of an uncomfortable pitch.

I've built a quiz to help more consultants reach their next growth phase of their business.

In a few minutes, it tells you your consultant archetype, your number one blind spot, and the next steps you need to take.

You can say all the right things in all the wrong places.

That's where most consultants fail in lead gen.

Years ago, marketing legend Gary Halbert asked his students a simple question:
"If you could have any advantage when opening a restaurant, what would it be?"

Better food? A great location? A killer ad campaign?

Halbert's answer: A starving crowd.

Food, location, and marketing won't matter if there's no hungry audience to buy.

The same's true in consulting. 

A clear strategy and message won't matter if it's shown to the wrong people.

Choosing the best way to get your message across comes down to three things:

1. Your ideal clients actively engage with that media.
Find where your clients are already spending their time.

2. It allows for a direct response.
Look for platforms where people can comment on posts, send you a DM, or take a direct action.

3. It aligns with your strengths.
The media you choose to engage with should feel natural to you. It'll either be writing, speaking, or networking (or a mix).

To refine things more, here are the best media channels for consultants to generate quality leads.

LinkedIn & Email
These are the best routes for direct outreach, nurturing leads, and establishing authority. Personalize outreach messages and post useful content your ICP can take away. Use email to stay top-of-mind.

Webinars & Workshops 
These are opportunities to position yourself as an expert. Teach others what you do, have a clear call-to-action, and follow up with any attendees who might need more nurturing.

Podcasts & Guest Features
Use these as opportunities for long-term trust-building. Be a guest on industry podcasts to borrow credibility. Share your personal stories so your audience can connect with you.

Paid Ads 
Great for when you've got a clear offer and message. Test things on a small scale first and remember that ads only amplify success. They don't create it.

Cold Calls & Direct Mail
These are old-school and need persistence, but they can still be effective for certain markets. Send personalized direct mail to stand out from digital. Follow up any cold calls with useful emails.

In the carousel below, I've put in the most common mistakes consultants and coaches make with each media outreach. Take a look so you know what to avoid.

You don't have to be juggling every single platform out there. You'll land quality leads by being in the right place, at the right time, with the right message.

If you need more support in knowing how to reach your target clients, this Thursday i'm hosting a free webinar to help.

A friend of mine just crossed $10K in a single month.

And what shocked me wasn’t the money,
it was how it started.

Not with a big team.

It started with her sitting on her bed… typing one simple line into Replit Design Mode.

Just two months earlier, she was stuck.

She had an idea for an AI image generator app, users could type a description and instantly get a professional-quality image for social media, presentations, or marketing, but every time she tried to create a website or app for it, she froze.

“I’m not a designer.”
“I can’t build a site.”
“What if it looks unprofessional?”

So the idea kept collecting dust.

One random night, she tried Replit Design Mode out of pure frustration. Typed a single sentence describing her idea.

And boom, in under 2 minutes, she had:

✓ A clean, aesthetic, professional landing page
✓ A fully designed app interface where users could generate images instantly
✓ Interactive elements like image previews and download buttons
✓ A version she could edit in normal English
✓ The option to turn it into a full app with Convert to App

Zero coding.

She published it the SAME night.

The next week, she started getting users.
Her app went viral among small businesses and creators.

By month two, she hit $10,000 in revenue.

Not because she was “lucky.”
But because she finally removed the walls between ideas → execution.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment… stop waiting.

Sometimes your life changes in the 2 minutes you decide to actually start.

Try it yourself → https://replit.com

Last night, I did something crazy.

I built a full AI Meeting Assistant app on Replit…

and I’m still shocked at how fast it happened 🤯

I opened Replit with one simple idea:

“An AI meeting assistant that takes notes, creates summaries, and sends tasks.”

That’s it.

I typed the description…
and in under 2 minutes, the entire design appeared.

Like magic.

➡️ Clean dashboard
➡️ Note-taking space
➡️ Auto-summary section
➡️ Task list with assignees
➡️ Email/Drive export buttons
➡️ Fully mobile-ready

Then I clicked Convert to App…
and suddenly it wasn’t just a design.

It became a working product.

Before Replit, this would’ve taken:
days of wireframing,
hours of meetings,
and endless “Can you send the updated version?”

Now it takes:
one prompt.
one click.
one minute.

This genuinely felt like the fastest idea → reality moment of my life.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, big or small,
this is your sign to finally build it.

Last week on a trip, my phone battery died.

And I guess we’ve all been there 😉

Perfect sky, perfect moment… but the phone just couldn’t keep up.

So when I saw Moto g67 POWER 5G “phone tombstones” floating around online, I laughed way too hard.

Because… yeah, been there.
“Camera died mid-sunset.”
“Battery gave up halfway up K2.”

Too real.

Then I read about their #UnstoppableChallenge, where creators travel India’s longest routes on just one charge.

No power banks.
Just trust in that 7000 mAh battery.

And 50MP Sony Lytia 600 Camera photograph.

What a quality of photo.

All that power and performance at just ₹14,999* — not gonna lie, that’s bold.

And kind of refreshing to see a brand actually prove its point instead of just saying it.

Because if there’s one thing this generation doesn’t do,
it’s choose this or that.
We do both.

Hustle and chill.
Shoot and scroll.
Create and consume.

Moto just… got it right this time 😎

Weddings these days?
Straight up Bollywood mode 😂

And dulha entries?
Full action-movie energy.

Horses, jeeps, vintage cars…
bas jetpack hi baaki hai 😂

I saw the new Shaadi.com film today and honestly, it felt like a gentle roast for our entire generation.

“Sahi entry se zyada important hai, sahi hero ki entry.”

Funny, real, and a reminder we seriously needed.

In a world chasing aesthetic weddings,
maybe it’s time we focus on authentic partnerships too.

Loved how they turned a cultural habit into a clever message, light, humorous, and still spot-on.

Who else felt personally attacked by this ad? 😭🔥

I've always believed travel wasn’t tiring, planning was.

Choosing a place to stay is one task.
Choosing how to get there is another.

Syncing them?
A whole battle.

But recently, while checking out The Hosteller properties, I discovered something surprisingly useful.

You can now book RedBus tickets directly on The Hosteller website.

No redirects.
No confusing tabs.

Just a simple, dedicated page where you book your bus through RedBus without leaving The Hosteller ecosystem.

Which basically means:

✔️ Stay? Sorted.
✔️ Travel? Sorted.
✔️ Experience? Already smoother.

My entire flow now looks like this:

1. Pick my Hosteller stay
2. Open their RedBus page
3. Check buses to that exact destination
4. Compare timings, seats & prices
5. Book everything from one single website

No double-checking arrival times.
No stress.

For someone like me who loves last-minute plans, this is exactly the kind of update that actually encourages more travel.

Because when planning becomes frictionless, travel becomes natural.

It made me realize something simple:

Travel doesn’t require more time; it requires fewer steps.

And honestly, credit to Hanuman Singh 🦍, he showed me this integration and made me realize how much smoother travel feels when everything sits in one place.

We all know that one Rahul.

Buys a gym membership. Goes once. Click a mirror selfie.

And vanishes faster than motivation on a Monday. 💀

Anytime Fitness India x SW Network (Sociowash) just dropped a campaign that roasted every “Rahul” in India and honestly, it’s marketing built different. 

Then they doubled down,
Billboards across India calling out all the “I’ll start Monday” gym ghosts.

This campaign isn’t preaching fitness,
it’s bullying you (nicely) into showing up.

Witty. Savage. Real.

Exactly how modern marketing should feel. 💯

If you’re Rahul, or know a Rahul tag them before they renew again. 😏

When you’ve been watching the Indian marketing space closely, some partnerships just click the moment you hear them. For me, Asian Paints stepping in as the Official Partner of India Home Cricket with BCCI felt like that instant “ah, this fits” moment.

Asian Paints have always been more than paints and shade cards. It’s one of those rare Indian brands that has shaped how we express, decorate, and emotionally connect with our homes for decades. And if there’s one thing that connects India like home, it’s cricket. The sport brings together 1.4 billion people with the same emotion, at the same moment, even if everything else in the country feels different.

So the timing makes sense. Asian Paints has built marketing credibility over the years, especially through memorable campaigns around festivals, families, and stories. Stepping into cricket now feels like a natural extension of that journey, not a sudden sponsorship move. 

A legacy brand entering a legacy sport, not for a cameo, but for a long, smartly planned partnership. Curious to see what this looks like when the colour, emotion and stadium energy all come together.

I used to think building an app needed two things:

A laptop
and years of coding experience.

Turns out… I was wrong 🤐

A few weeks ago, I created a fully working app, not by typing complex code, but by simply explaining what I wanted in plain English using Replit.

No setup.
No prior knowledge

Just… vibe coding.

That moment completely shifted how I look at creating apps and tools.

Because here’s the truth:

Most great ideas die in notebooks because people assume they need skills, time, or a big team to bring them to life.

But now?
Platforms like Replit are breaking that barrier completely.

You can literally:

➡️ Speak your idea into the screen
➡️ Connect it to tools you already use — Notion, Slack, Google Drive, Dropbox
➡️ Switch across 300+ AI models without touching a single API key
➡️ Build from anywhere, even from your phone

One small prompt becomes a working app.
One idea becomes something real, instantly.

This is the part that excites me the most:

You don’t need prior knowledge of coding anymore.
You just need curiosity.

Just open Replit.
Type what you want.
Build something that makes your life easier.

If this excites you, it's time to turn your idea into reality.
