Are you ready to work with clients who light you up and truly see your value—without having to push your limits or lose your personal touch? We’re talking about those “champagne clients.” You know, the ones who don’t haggle over price, pay on time, respect your expertise, and enthusiastically refer you to all their friends? Here’s your playbook for attracting them, keeping your sparkle, and staying 100% you.

Master Your Message to Magnetize Premium Clients

Let’s get real: good branding starts at your core message. If you want your brand to pop, you need messaging that is crystal clear and irresistible, especially to those high-value “champagne” clients.

Stop Saying “I Help…”
Generic messaging like “I help businesses grow” is easy to scroll past. Your ideal clients are scrolling, skimming, and looking for something that makes them do a double-take. Shape your message so it tells a story, spotlights your magic, and calls out the transformation only you deliver.

Try this structure instead:

• Who do you help? (Be specific.)
• What do you help them achieve? (Real results!)
• How do you do it? (What’s unique about your approach?)

Example:
Instead of “I help entrepreneurs get clients,” try “I help female consultants sign five-figure clients, like clockwork, with a stress-free magnetic branding process.”

Not sure if your messaging is connecting? Ask a few dream clients (or colleagues who get you) to read your website and summarize what you do. If they can’t nail it in a sentence, it’s time for a tweak.

Position Yourself as an Authority (Effortlessly)

Champagne clients crave confidence. If you stand out as a leader in your space, they’re automatically more drawn to you—and willing to invest at the level you deserve.

Here’s how you can show authority without going overboard:

• Share Quick Wins: Publish bite-sized case studies or before/after stories on LinkedIn or your blog.
• Be Seen: Speak at digital events, podcasts, or panels—even if it’s a small audience at first, it builds your presence.
• Teach, Don’t Only Sell: Host webinars or “office hours” where you share meaty insights. The right people show up for substance.
• Own the Results: Show off your unique frameworks, processes, or philosophies in public-facing content (but only give the what and why—save the full how for your paid clients!).

Pro tip: “Visibility” doesn’t mean you have to be everywhere or churn out endless content. Consistency and intention beat volume every time.

Value Your Work (and Charge Like You Mean It)

If you undervalue your genius, so will everyone else. Champagne clients expect premium service. They’re not price shoppers—they’re transformation shoppers! If you don’t see your own value, it’s time for a reframe.

Build Your Value Inventory:

• Write down your client successes—be specific and quantify results wherever possible.
• Make a list of things you do differently or better than your competitors.
• Write a “brag bank” of testimonials or positive feedback.

Once you're feeling your worth, translate that confidence into premium offers:

• Productize your expertise so it’s structured and scalable.
• Bundle your highest-value services together for your signature packages.
• Add exclusivity where it feels natural (e.g., limited slots, application-only programs, or VIP onboarding).

And most importantly: price your offers based on value and results, not time or effort.

Build Relationships, Not Just a Pipeline

High-value clients often come through relationships—not cold DMs or ads. You don’t have to spread yourself thin; just network smarter (not harder).

• Deepen Your Network: Identify a handful of connectors—accountants, attorneys, consultants, or aligned business owners—who serve similar clients and build mutual referral relationships.
• Create Client “Turning Points”: Set up simple ways for happy clients to refer you. Think: milestone gifts, personalized emails, or small “thank you” incentives.
• Host Intimate Gatherings: Instead of huge webinars, consider invite-only power hours or virtual roundtables for your ideal clients and their circles. Fewer people, more impact.

Champagne clients love the ease and intimacy of working with someone connected and respected.

Set Boundaries & Build for Sustainability

Selling out and burning out are not part of the “pop” equation. Your brand can only shine if you’re firing on all cylinders—personally and professionally.

A few ways to stay high-energy (and high-impact) while growing:

• Batch Content: Create in focused sprints and schedule. No more endless daily content treadmill!
• Automate What You Can: Use tools to streamline onboarding, lead capture, and follow-up, so you can focus where you truly add value.
• Set “Unavailability” Hours: Make space for creativity and rest by blocking off no-client times each week (and honoring them fiercely).
• Say No Often: Not every inquiry deserves a yes. When your standards are high, you attract the right clients at the right time.

Identify Your Champagne Clients (and Let Them Find You)

The most joyful part? When you’re clear on whom you serve, what you offer, and how you want to work, the right clients start seeking you.

Look for These Qualities in Your Champagne Clients:

• They value expertise and transformation, not just price.
• They’re collaborative, respectful, and treat you as an expert.
• They pay happily and on time.
• They refer others like them.

Once you have one or two dream clients, leverage their testimonials and results in your marketing. This is how your client roster fills itself—with minimal effort and maximum alignment.
