Five sales habits over five days to help you find your next client even alongside a full-time job.
If you love your work but selling feels about as exciting as going to the dentist, this challenge is for you
Optional live sessions: October 26–30 at 9am PT / noon ET / 4pm UK / 5pm Paris.
(Replays through Nov 1 / Lifetime Access + Live QA with VIP Upgrade)
- Day 1: Explain what you sell. How to describe the problem you solve so someone understands why someone would pay for your newsletter, product, or service.
- Day 2: Recognize a good potential client. How to spot who’s most likely to need your help and where to focus your attention.
- Day 3: Find opportunities in your existing network. How to look through past clients, quiet leads, contacts, and communities for conversations worth starting.
- Day 4: Start the conversation. What to say in a message, with examples you can adapt without sounding awkward or pushy. VIP session: a separate 60-minute group call, starting 15 minutes after the main lesson ends (upgrade available at checkout).
- Day 5: Keep the conversation moving. How to follow up and suggest a next step toward working together.

You know you need more clients.
Maybe your calendar is full right now and you can already see the gap in slow months or the end of a contract approaching.
Maybe a big client just left or has made it clear they won't renew. Maybe you want one paying client on the side of your job.
For some people the problem is time. Between client work, a job, kids and everything else, reaching out keeps landing on next week's list.
For others it's the feeling. You don't want to sound salesy, you don't know what to say, and every message you draft feels a little cringy, so you don't send it.
Either way, you end up waiting for referrals and hoping the next one comes before you need it.
5 Days, 1 Sales Tip Per Day
- Explain what you offer and why it's worth paying for
- Recognize good potential buyers among people you already know
- Find conversations worth starting in your existing network
- Start a sales conversation without feeling like you're bothering someone
- Follow up and suggest a next step with confidence
Whether you want your first paid subscriber, another product sale, or someone to book your services, you'll have practical examples to adapt and five sales habits you can keep using after the week ends.
Your next client might be someone you already know, a new follower, or a newsletter subscriber who's been quietly reading for months. Whatever you call them (clients, customers, subscribers), we're talking about people paying you for something you offer.
You don't need a full-time business. You might be building a newsletter, selling a small product, or exploring how to earn from your skills alongside your job.
“But I hate selling.”
I know. I can see you procrastinating from here.
You've probably done more of it than you think. In a job interview, you explain why someone should hire you. When you ask for a promotion, you make a case for the value you bring. Even asking someone to subscribe to your free newsletter means giving them a reason to spend their time reading it.
Money doesn't change the basic question: why should someone say yes?
You don't have to enjoy pitching. But if you want people to pay for what you offer, you need to be willing to explain its value and ask. Staying quiet because you're afraid of sounding salesy leaves people guessing, or buying from someone who made it clearer.
We'll practice how to make that invitation relevant, direct, and easy to decline, without pestering people or pretending to be someone you're not.
No Workbooks or Lengthy Training
This challenge is designed to take very little time while giving you the push to go out and sell more. It's easier to start when a group is doing it with you that week.
Can’t attend five days of live calls?
You don’t need to. You can follow the entire challenge by email.
From October 26–30, you’ll receive one practical sales tip each day: what to do, when to use it, and how it can help you start or move a sales conversation forward.
Each tip comes with an optional video lesson of approximately 40 minutes, where I’ll walk through real examples from nine years of selling my own services full-time. Watch the recording when it suits you, or join me live if your schedule allows.
At the end of the week, you’ll get one checklist covering all five habits, so you can keep using them after the challenge.
The emails and checklist are yours to keep. Your $15 ticket includes access to the five lesson recordings through November 1. For lifetime access to those recordings, choose an upgrade at checkout.
There’s no required homework, and you won’t need to attend live to follow along.
Optional live sessions: October 26–30 at 9am PT / noon ET / 4pm UK / 5pm Paris.
No cold pitching, acting spammy, using AI automations people hate, paid ads or posting more than you already do.
Replays included until Nov 1 (lifetime access with Upgrades).
What clients say about working with Krista
Start the conversations before you need the clients.
“Krista, I’m safely employed.” “We’re busy. We don’t need more clients right now.”
I’ve heard both from people who contacted me again after a layoff or losing their biggest client. Suddenly, finding work was urgent.
When things are going well, it’s easy to put selling off. But relationships take time. You can’t ignore everyone for six months, then expect a full calendar because you need the money.
Keeping in touch, checking in with a past client, or following up on a conversation doesn’t have to take much time. Those small habits give you more people to turn to when you have something to offer—or your circumstances change.
With businesses planning for January and deciding where to spend their remaining budgets, now is a good time to reconnect. Give people a chance to think of you before they choose someone else.

About Krista
I'm Krista Mollion. One cold email once landed us a client who paid 7 figures a year for 9 years. I built and exited an 8-figure agency, then spent nine years working with hundreds of entrepreneurs on how they find, win and keep clients. I've been a fractional CMO and a 3x LinkedIn Top Voice, and I built my own business through organic content and conversations, with zero paid ads.
FU Money Plan™ exists to help you decentralize the paycheck: more ways to earn, more ownership and less dependence on any one employer, client or platform. Your next client is the first step.
FAQ
I work full-time. Can I do this without attending live?
Yes. Each daily email gives you a practical sales tip you can use on its own. The optional video lesson goes into more detail with real examples. You can follow by email, watch the recordings, or join whichever live sessions fit your schedule.
When will I receive the emails and videos?
You’ll receive the day’s sales tip and optional live-session link each morning, October 26–30. After the session, you can watch the recording on the challenge page.
The emails and end-of-week checklist are yours to keep. The $15 ticket includes lesson recordings through November 1; lifetime recording access is available with either upgrade.
I haven’t sold anything yet. Is this for me?
Yes, if you have a skill or service you’d like to offer. We’ll cover how to explain what you do, identify potential clients, and start conversations. You don’t need a polished pitch before you join.
I’ve been selling for years. Will this be too basic?
The examples also cover reconnecting with past clients, following up with quiet leads, and moving conversations forward. If you know you could be more consistent about those things, this week will help you get back into the habit.
What happens during the VIP Hour?
It’s a separate 60-minute group call on Day 4, Thursday, October 29, starting 15 minutes after the main lesson. Bring a pitch, outreach message, or sales question for direct feedback. I’ll work through as many as I can in the hour, though individual reviews aren’t guaranteed. You can also join to listen and learn from the other examples. The call will be recorded.
Which upgrade should I choose?
Choose Lifetime Replays if you want ongoing access to the five daily lessons. Choose VIP if you also want to attend the live pitch-feedback session. VIP already includes lifetime challenge replays, so you only need one upgrade.
Will you offer another program at the end?
Yes. On Day 5, I’ll introduce Your Thriving Services Business, my four-week program. Joining is entirely optional. You’ll get all five challenge lessons and your checklist whether or not you continue with me.
Is there a refund?
