Ick-free introductions

I know you’re good at what you do. You know that you’re good at what you do (otherwise you wouldn’t have set up your business). But when it comes to letting other people know that you’re good at what you do? Not so hot.

Ick-free Introductions is a 14 day copy coaxing collaboration to help you nail the way you describe yourself, so that you not only gain well-deserved confidence but the next-level clients, connections and opportunities that genuinely excite you.

When you have to introduce yourself and what you do – be it written, online, spoken, in person – it can feel anywhere from mildly uncomfortable to dreamt-you-were-naked-in-front-of-the-school kind of awful.

You end up with a description that reads and sounds ok, but nothing more. But you’re better than ok. And you deserve wording that helps you feel and show that.

Dis u? 👀

🫠 Holding yourself back from pitching and networking opportunities because you don’t know how to explain what you do

🫠 Worrying that explaining all the strings to your bow makes you sound confused or flaky (even though we live in an increasingly multi-hyphenate world)

🫠 Your clients love working with you once they’ve found you – but it’s the finding you that proves difficult

🫠 Avoiding promoting yourself because you don’t like your bios

🫠 Seeing other people landing dream opportunities and ideal clients that you would never have dared approach

🫠 Feeling threatened by the amount of people in your industry, because you’re not 100% on how to show your “secret sauce”

POV: You’ve worked with me

🤩 You no longer hate people asking what you do, because you’ve got the perfect answer for them. In fact, you’re happy when they ask — because you get to talk about your work

🤩 You regularly pitch to be a guest on podcasts, blogs and more, because you can excellently explain your expertise and therefore your value to their audience

🤩 Spending more time doing the work you love because you’re no longer wasting time worrying about your wording

🤩 A bigger presence within the right circles, because getting the introduction piece right is the difference between being an option and being the option

🤩 You happily hand over your website details to prospective clients or contractors, without secretly cringing at your about page

🤩 You chase PR chances with confidence, knowing you can maximise the opportunity with a succinct summary of what you do.

Ick-free Introductions can help you get there.

“There’s nobody else I’d trust with my copy than Ellie. I’d been meaning to create a new about me page for months but never quite got round to it.

Then, in two shakes of a lamb’s tail Ellie had worked her magic and I couldn’t be happier. She saved me so much time, made the whole process so easy and instinctively knew exactly what I needed.

If you’re looking for a natural wordsmith to put some serious razzle dazzle into your copy, run don’t walk to Ellie, she’s the best there is and that’s that.” - Sara

The way to describe who you are and what you do, which I bring

Borrow my confidence so you can build your own.

“Everyone needs an Ellie in their life! I recently had the true joy of working with Ellie and not only did she smash through the work, she also nailed my tone of voice.

I shared the drafts with my sister and as after telling me how wonderful I am, I let her in on the secret that I didn't actually write this content and she was so surprised because it sounded so much like me (just better!!)

Thank you for all your work and making the process so easy - can't recommend enough.” - Nao

(Gossip Girl voice:) And who am I?

Sure, my nearly a decade’s expertise as a writer means I’ve got the words to describe what you do, but it’s my unique capacity for helping people believe in their own sauce that makes me the perfect person to help you revamp the way you introduce yourself. I love nothing more than helping small business owners, multi-hyphenates and creatives bring more of themselves into their business to connect with the clients who truly get it.

Let’s collapse time on how long it takes you to put yourself out there, and speed up your bookings, sales, growth, reach and impact.

If you’ve ever wondered why people in traditional employment can talk about what they do without feeling icky, and wished for that kind of confidence yourself, the answer is: objectivity.

That’s why I can do what I can do: by seeing your brilliance from the outside, I can craft the perfect messaging for what you have to offer from the inside.
