Description

In this episode of The OBM Show, I’m talking about one of the most common reasons discovery calls start to feel messy for OBMs and why it usually has far less to do with confidence than people think.

It often starts with a simple question: “What does working with you actually look like?”

And for a lot of Online Business Managers, that is the exact moment the call starts to unravel.

Not because they are not skilled.
Not because they do not know how to support a client.
And not because they are not good at what they do.

It is because knowing how to do the work and knowing how to clearly communicate the shape of the work are not the same thing.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why so many OBMs freeze when trying to explain what they do, how vague packages create confusing sales conversations, and why unclear offers often lead to scope creep, over-explaining, and drained capacity.

We’re also talking about what a stronger OBM package actually needs in order to position you as a leader instead of a catch-all support person.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why so many OBMs struggle to clearly explain what they do on discovery calls
• The difference between a confidence problem and an offer design problem
• How vague packages lead to messy sales calls and confusing pricing conversations
• What a strong OBM package needs in order to create clarity for clients
• Why better boundaries will not fix an offer that lacks structure
• How to position your work around leadership, not just support

If you have ever walked away from a sales call feeling like you talked a lot without actually saying what mattered, this episode will help you understand why and what to shift next.
