What Most Coaches and Consultants Miss About “Not Enough Leads”
It’s rarely about the leads. It’s about the fear of being seen.
Every week, I hear a similar concern from coaches and consultants:
“I just need more leads.”
So they chase tactics… new funnels, new platforms, new scripts, new fancy tools. But under the surface, there’s often a very different challenge at play. One that’s harder to admit… but far more powerful to address.
Let’s break it down.
The Assumed Problem: “I Just Need More Leads”
This is the surface-level diagnosis.
Someone’s content isn’t converting. Calls aren’t getting booked. Sales feel slow. So they assume they’re not reaching enough people.
Makes sense, right? More leads equals more sales.
But here’s the twist: many of these same people are sitting on unposted content, skipped follow-ups, and quiet social feeds. They have the tools. They’ve done the courses.
They’re just not showing up.
The Real Pattern: Fear of Visibility
Behind the scenes, I see the same deeper pattern over and over:
People are afraid to be seen.
They hesitate to post personal insights. They dodge connect calls. They hide behind generic content and wait for “perfect timing.” It’s not laziness… it’s fear.
Take “The Content Ghoster,” for example.
She planned her posts. She wrote strong copy. But every time she hovered over the “post” button, she’d freeze. Her reason? “I’m just not sure if it’s good enough.” The truth? She was afraid of judgment.
This fear creates a silent drag on growth.
Why It’s Missed: Comparison Culture
One reason this goes unnoticed?
Everyone looks like they’re crushing it.
We scroll past polished posts and packed calendars and assume we’re the only ones stuck. The shame makes it easier to blame strategy than admit vulnerability.
But here’s what most won’t tell you:
Even experienced coaches feel the fear. The difference is, they’ve learned to work with it, not avoid it.
Why It Matters: The Cost of Hiding
Ignoring this deeper issue leads to…
-
Stalled growth, even with great offers
-
Burnout from chasing fixes that don’t fix
-
A painful sense of being stuck, unseen, or “not cut out for this”
You don’t need a new funnel or tool. You need to unlock your voice.
The Better Question
Instead of asking:
“How do I get more leads?”
Try asking:
“What’s holding me back from being seen and connecting more boldly?”
That’s the shift. Not louder, not flashier. Just more you. More consistently. More courageously.
