She Just Closed Her 5th High Ticket Client

online education May 08, 2026

I got a message this week that made me smile.

Erin is a Bible teacher. A few months ago she was struggling to find a way to turn her knowledge into a tentmaking income. Good knowledge, genuine expertise, real desire to help people. But nothing was converting.

She wanted to use her coaching gift mixed with her Biblical knowledge to make an offer that people would genuinely be happy to pay for but without her feeling like she'd 'sold out' or was 'peddling the word of God for profit.' A tough call! 

We talked and mapped out a way to do so a few months back.

This week she messaged me to say she'd just closed her fifth high ticket client at $3,000 each.

"I'm doing well... just closed my 5th high ticket client today!!!"

What changed?

Not her knowledge. She already had that. Not her passion. She had plenty of that too.

What changed was the way she structured what she offered. The systems around her expertise. The clarity of her offer.

This is something I see again and again with pastors and Christian leaders. The knowledge is there. The calling is there. The years of experience are there. But the offer is fuzzy, the structure is missing, the mindset is confused over what is and isn't ok - and so nothing lands.

It's not what you know. It's how you package and present what you know.

Erin figured that out. And it changed everything for her.

If that resonates, I'd love you to come and watch the Expertise to Offer masterclass. It's free.

Here's what it covers:

  • The Expertise Reframe that stops experienced professionals stalling for months.
  • The real reason most people with great expertise never get their first paying client.
  • And the three-part structure that fixes it.

You'll leave with clarity on what your offer is, who it's for, and how to describe it in a way that actually makes sense to the people you want to help.

You'll also get to see how it applies to three real live situations for those who were on the call live.

Come and watch it here.

Standing with you

Simon
