✍️ REPLAY: How to Sell Without Selling: Discovery Call 101 for Writers (ClassStack)

Turn a casual chat into a “hell yes” — and have clients thrilled to pay you more for your writing.

Thanks for joining the class today, everyone!

For those who didn’t join us live, here’s what the class is about:

As a freelancer, you have to “sell” clients on paying for your writing. But sales doesn’t have to feel… well… sales-y! In this class, I share how to master discovery calls as a freelance writer — the secret weapon that turns curious prospects into premium clients (often at 5–10x the posted rate).

If you’re a freelance writer, journalist, memoir ghostwriter, copywriter, or any other type of writer who charges for their work — my goal is to give you the skills to be able to raise your rates and work with better clients after taking this class.

🎓 Here’s what was covered in the class:

  • What a successful discovery call looks like — step by step.

  • Sales that don’t suck — how to sell without really “selling.”

  • Positioning yourself as the premium option — even if the client posted a lowball rate.

  • The psychology of a “hell yes” — and how to get it without feeling pushy.

  • Closing confidently — so the client leaves the call excited to pay your deposit and begin working with you.
