Velvet Rope Playbook

A wealthy prospect can easily afford what you're selling—and still think you're charging too much.
That's because wealth and willingness to pay are two entirely different things. Net worth tells you what someone canspend. It tells you very little about what they believe something is worth.
In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, I tell the story of Douglas Whitmore, a successful entrepreneur worth more than $20 million, and Peter Langston, a vintage automobile expert who couldn't understand why Douglas balked at his $85,000 fee.
The problem wasn't Douglas's ability to pay. It was Peter's failure to make the value of his expertise unmistakable.
You'll discover why affluent clients can be surprisingly price-conscious, why premium pricing requires more than simply targeting people with money, and how to uncover the value in your expertise that may be obvious to you—but completely invisible to your prospective clients.
Because when an affluent prospect says, “You're too expensive,” they may actually be telling you something very different: “I don't yet see why you're worth it.”

When business slows down, the natural reaction is to start fixing things. A new website. More social media. Different messaging. A new CRM. Maybe an entirely new marketing strategy.
But what if most of your marketing is already working—and there's simply one weak link that's costing you clients?
In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, I tell the story of Jonathan, a successful advisor who spent $42,000 trying to solve a marketing problem he didn't actually have. His experience illustrates a lesson that's particularly important for professionals selling high-value services: before you add more marketing, figure out exactly where your existing client-attraction process is breaking down.
I'll show you a simple way to examine the five things every business needs to turn strangers into clients—attention, interest, trust, desire and action—and identify the one area that deserves your attention.
Because sometimes the fastest way to grow isn't doing more. It's fixing the right thing.

If you're trying to attract more affluent clients, you may be looking in the wrong place. Instead of asking, "How do I meet more wealthy people?" ask a different question: "Who already has relationships with the wealthy people I want to meet?"
If you're an architect, that might be luxury real estate agents, interior designers or art advisors. If you're in healthcare, it might be wealth advisors, private clubs or luxury travel advisors. If you sell luxury products, it could be exotic car dealers, galleries or high-end real estate professionals. Different businesses, but they're serving many of the same people you want to reach.
But don't approach them asking to exchange referrals. That's immediately transactional. Instead, find a reason for them to be glad they know you. Introduce them to someone useful. Feature their expertise in one of your videos. Invite them to participate in a small event. Send them information that's genuinely valuable. Become useful before you ever ask them for anything.
Because a wealthy client might know three people who could hire you. Someone who serves wealthy clients may know 300. Become known and trusted by the right people, and eventually your name starts coming up in conversations you're not even in.

You can have years of experience, an impressive track record, and all the expertise necessary to serve affluent clients—and still find yourself questioning whether you really belong in the room with them.
That’s where imposter syndrome becomes more than a confidence problem. It becomes a marketing and sales problem.
In this episode, I explain how imposter syndrome can subtly change the way you communicate with wealthy prospects. You may over-explain, try too hard to establish your credentials, become overly accommodating, hesitate to challenge a prospect’s thinking, or even second-guess what you charge. None of these behaviors necessarily look like insecurity, but they can undermine the very thing affluent clients are looking for: confidence in your judgment.
I’ll show you why you don’t need to match a wealthy prospect’s financial status to earn their respect, why trying to impress them can actually work against you, and a simple exercise you can use before your next affluent prospect meeting to shift your attention away from yourself and back to the value you bring to the conversation.
If you already have the expertise to serve wealthy clients but sometimes question whether you truly belong in their world, my Unshakable Inner Confidence program can help you become far more comfortable engaging wealthy prospects, navigating conversations and social situations, and presenting yourself as the confident advisor they expect.
