Your Clients Are Ready - But You
Don't Make the Ask Because You...
- Don't want to be pushy
- Feel uncomfortable asking for money
- Wish your would-be clients would just do it
- Fear and overwhelm take over in the moment
- Don't want to make money "a thing"
- Don't know the value your services bring
- Feel your sales message isn't right
- Have resistance to "close the deal"
This list is just the beginning… there are many reasons why you might be sales-reluctant, resistant, or dysregulated (meaning out of sync). Here’s the thing – your reasons are unique to you. That’s why ‘big-box’ programs aren’t able to help you get at the underlying truths that block you in asking for business.
However, when you are committed to helping your clients and choose to learn how to make the ask, it’s time to find out what is keeping you ‘bound up’ so you can really be there for your clients. They need you to make The Ask – and so does your business.
Help Your Clients (and Your Business) Grow By Effectively Maxing Your Ask
Every result begins with desire, from choosing your career path to creating transformation to leading a movement for change. Every desire is, essentially, an 'ask' for what you want; in business, when you want more clients, you need to Max the Ask for their business. When you Max Your Ask, you give your clients the opportunity to claim their desire as their new reality. When you don't Max Your Ask, nobody wins... but, when you do, everything becomes possible.

Together, we explore what is really holding you back from Maxing Your Ask – and it’s usually not what you think! You, like every other intelligent person, often cannot see your own blind spots. Once you have clarity through insight, you can easily take new action with confidence to serve your clients and grow your business. Begin by completing the application for having a 45-minute discovery session with Donnie to explore your business needs.
Sales-Reluctant
Sales reluctance is the inevitable outcome of feeling like you don't know enough to do a good job. It might mean you need to build your sales skills, or hone your offer, or even know that you're talking to the right person who will value your services.
Sales-Resistant
Sales resistance means you shy away from anything related to sales, from talking about money to feeling like you might manipulate someone into doing something they don't want to do.
Sales-Dysregulated
The most over-looked reason for not Maxing Your Ask is what I call sales dysregulation. Dysregulation means your internal systems are out of sync, usually as a result of previous history so it's an unconscious coping strategy; unfortunately, the reality of sales dysregulation is that it prevents you from taking action, even when it's what you want to do.
Asking for Business Starts Within...
Your Internal State Will Guide Our Work Together
The Max Your Ask Program is surprisingly intimate because it’s not about sales – it’s all about you.
My role is to facilitate what I call ‘compassionate disruption’ to help you see what’s really holding you back from Maxing Your Ask. Whatever it is – from lack of sales skills to underlying beliefs to nervous system response, we will identify the real (and valid!) reason(s) you find it difficult to Max Your Ask. I already know it’s an old coping strategy that’s getting in the way – but we need to figure out what your internal state is protecting you from so you can have new freedom in Maximizing your client relationships and your business.
This work will explore your internal state to determine the root cause of why it’s challenging for you to Max the Ask. I cannot tell you what we will find… only that I guarantee you will have new insights and fresh confidence after our time together. We will consider every relevant angle for your situation and find ways to address it. That said, sometimes it’s as easy as finding ‘that one thing’ and then it all falls into place.
Let’s begin by having a no-charge, no-obligation conversation to explore our fit in working together. Whether you choose to move forward or not, I will be honored to learn more about you and your business.

Where most classes online can feel super high energy, hustle and achievement focused etc., Donnie activates momentum by going deep and wide in the conversations. It’s a remarkable thing to witness both as a master facilitator and co-creator. I highly recommend him for collaboration and coaching. He will uplevel whatever you’re creating with his curious presence and commitment to listen for needs and possibilities.

Donnie is very progressive thinking and thought provoking. He makes you a better boss babe, mom, sister, human being. He helped me to see myself authentically and accept every part of me. He made me see I’m a beautiful hot mess. There is not judgement. I’ve made some great contacts to improve my businesses and I can see my community not as a project but as a mission.

I feel deep gratitude for this journey with him and my hope for the future is ever-growing as a result of his coaching. Donnie was committed to helping me achieve my personal and spiritual goals with such a passion and caring that I will always remember. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

I worked with Donnie to help me clarify my goals and uncover some roadblocks that kept me from action. I was most impressed with his ability to ask simple, powerful questions that really penetrated to the heart of some issues I faced. I was given time to really brainstorm, reflect and process information and ideas which he guided me through. His style was comforting and safe. I often laughed and cried in the same session and always walked away with a new nugget of information. Ultimately, while working with Donnie, I have found a collaborative partner who has unveiled a powerful, creative and resourceful me. I have started my first book club, a long held dream, as well as the decision to investigate Christian Coaching as a business. I am grateful for my time working with Donnie and recommend his services to anyone ready to make their dreams a reality.

Donnie is deeply invested in his own personal development with communication which makes his approach to facilitating learning for others, authentic. He teaches from this personal place which lends integrity to each step of the process. His own interest in the subject and his personal relationship with it brings empathy to a client’s journey. He is also genuinely interested in helping others develop themselves. He positions himself as an advocate and mentor to help people next step themselves toward self-transformation. He meets them where they are with a refreshing lack of judgment which creates a high trust environment for a client to learn and grow. Donnie brings to the work natural emotional intelligence. This sensitivity combined with his natural empathic ability help people feel truly seen and heard around him. This superpower enables him to guide people toward change without making them defensive. This is a very efficient pedagogical combination and enables rapid growth in a client.
