Monetizing Your Skills- Carmelia Ray

Episode Summary

In this episode, celebrity matchmaker Carmelia Ray shares how she turned her skills into a multiple revenue stream business.

Episode Notes

Something we’ve heard a lot from the female entrepreneurs at our I Make A Living live events, is that so many of you have trouble with sales. Even though we know what we have to offer we sometimes feel uncomfortable asking for what weā€™re worth.

Carmelia Ray is an internationally acclaimed matchmaker for high achieving men and the quality women theyā€™re searching for. Sheā€™s also a renowned TV personality from Mom Vs. Matchmaker, The Real Housewives Of Toronto, and A Userā€™s Guide to Cheating Death (Fall 2018).

A frequent media contributor, Carmeliaā€™s advice and expertise have been featured in notable outlets including AskMen, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, OK! Magazine, Global News, Cupidā€™s Pulse, The Marilyn Denis Show, CHCH News, Elle, Playback, and countless others. Her wealth of wisdom and experience has also attracted in-demand partnerships with major dating companies including Match.com, Lava Life, Instant Chemistry, and more.

Carmelia is a great example of selling confidently and being bold about getting paid for the value she offers others.

Hereā€™s a summary of what Carmelia taught us today:

  • Focus your sales pitch on the value proposition for your clients rather than minutia of the product or service and try not to sound desperate even if you are

  • Get organized and plan as much as you can

  • Always incorporate time with family and loved ones into your schedule, no matter how busy your business gets

  • Network like you would make friends – the more relationships you build, the more robust your sales network

  • Collaborate, Collaborate, Collaborate
