A FOUR WEEK, DONE-WITH-YOU SPRINT TO GO FROM ONE OF MANY EXPERTS TOβ¦
the
go-to
stop being the overlooked creative and become the only expert your dream clients want
BOOKED
confident
EXPERT
IN-DEMAND
STEADY
SUSTAINABLE
youβre great at what you do.
you care deeply about your work.
you give and try everything.
but lately itβs been feeling likeβ¦
β¨ Your dreamiest clients are going elsewhereβ¦ and youβre not sure why.
⨠Your offers feel a little messy or misaligned⦠and pricing them feels even harder.
β¨ Your inbox is quiet, or full of enquiries that donβt quite get the value of your work.
⨠You keep changing your message, your content, your service⦠hoping this version will finally land.
β¨ Youβre undercharging (again), overthinking (still), and wondering whatβs missing.
and nothing seems to be translating into consistent bookings, clients who are desperate to book into your schedule and the in-demand energy that takes your business to where you want it to be
-
you feel like youβre blending into a sea of other creatives
Your work is strong, but your positioning isnβt showing what makes you the choice - not just a choice.
-
youβre unclear on the messaging that sets you apart
You know what you doβ¦ but not how to talk about it in a way that connects, converts, and builds trust with the right people. And you donβt know why it doesnβt feel enough to share your amazing work
-
your offer is based on what you think people want
Youβve shaped your service around industry trends or client requests - but it often leaves you feeling like youβre overdelivering or doing work that doesnβt light you up.
-
your pricing has stayed stuck in the past
Youβve grown, your work has evolved - but your prices (and confidence around them) havenβt caught up yet.
-
you're showing up when you can, where you can without a plan
Youβre posting when you can, where you can - but itβs inconsistent, overwhelming, and not getting the results you want.
imagine this...
you open up your inbox and this is what you seeβ¦
iβve just found you and this is exactly what iβm looking for, i canβt believe i finally found someone who gets it!
iβve been following you for ages and know you are the perfect person for my project! when can we start?
i feel like iβve found my creative soul mate!
i already know youβll do the best job i trust you completely
i saw your post about what you do and i am IN, how do we get started?
Theyβre aligned. Theyβre excited. Theyβre ready. And they already see you as the expert.
Not because youβre the first person they found or the only one availableβ¦ but because they connect with you as their perfect match creative and they donβt want anyone else.
They resonate your message, they love your work, they already see the transformation they can create and they jump into your project with immediate trust, value and excitement.
you are their go-to expert!
send over the invoice and get me booked in, iβm ready!
let me know the best way to kick this off so i can make sure iβm following your process!

here's how you become the go-to...
001
expert positioning
Feel completely clear on who you are as a creative expert and how to communicate this with your perfect clients with ease. Never feel stuck when someone asks what you do and who for.
002
signature service
Design a unique and standout signature service that will become what you are known for in the industry. Focus on what brings dream clients in, instead of what you feel like you should offer.
003
pricing plan
Price your offer to guarantee reaching your income goals without overworking and overdelivering so you can always stay in your confident zone of genius.
004
messaging angles
Turn your positioning into bold, impactful and magnetic messaging angles and beliefs in a tone of voice that feels comfortable and easy to you.
005
standout content
Create content that actually books clients and doesnβt drain all of your time and energy. Being the go-to isnβt about doing everything and being everywhere - itβs connecting your people with what they need.
006
implementation plan
Thereβs no point going through all of the strategy and never having time to put it into placeβ¦ we will create a month by month focus plan so you can take everything we work on and bring it to life!
i know all about being the go-to expert for dream clients
Hey, Iβm Cat - business strategist and mentor for creative service providers who are ready to step up as confident experts and build a spacious, sustainable business.
Ten years into running a booked up, in high-demand design studio - I know what it takes to be the go-to... and I know it's not just about luck.
It's about having a strategy that supports you from the foundations up. Messaging that draws in those perfect fit clients and positioning that builds trust and gets them scrambling to get into your schedule.
I've already supported some of the leading creatives in the industry... I'd love to support you too.
hereβs how we make you the obvious choice for your peopleβ¦
-
kick-off call
We dig deep into your business, positioning, goals, strengths and current blocks. Iβll get inside your world so I can build you a strategy that feels like you - not a generic plug-and-play.
-
done-with-you strategy
Youβll receive your personal Go-To Masterplan (find out whatβs included below!) - delivered in a Notion doc for you to implement, adapt and revisit again and again.
-
implementation call
We walk through the strategy together, refine or tweak anything that feels sticky, and actually make things happen in a bumper four-hour call (or split it in two!)
-
ongoing voice note support
Ask questions, get quick feedback, workshop ideas, plan content together - Iβm right there as your mentor and cheerleader while you implement for the full four weeks.

got any questions about the go-to?
drop me a dm or voice note over on @gattocreativementor
if you have more things to discuss!
-
This would work best if you have already worked with a good number of clients so you can understand exactly what you do (and donβt!) want to do. All circumstances are different so drop me a message if youβre unsure if this is for you!
-
This is for creative service providers - think designers, copywriters, brand photographers, marketers, social media managers, and similar. If you run a service-based creative business and want to be the go-to expert in your space, this is for you.
-
This is a sprint program with time set aside for strategy and implementation, alongside voice note support as we work together.
At a minimum, you want to set aside time for the calls (90 minutes + 4 hours), but I would recommend also having 2-4 hours a week to talk through your strategy and implement.
-
Hereβs whatβs included:
90 minute strategy call
4 hour implementation call (can be split into two)
4 weeks of voice note coaching support
The Go-To Strategy Notion doc, including:
- Expert positioning statement
- Signature service rundown
- Messaging angles
- Repeatable content ideas
- 6 month implementation plan
-
You know, I donβt think I ever thought of myself that way either. But all it means to be the go-to expert is that you consistently attract ideal clients with aligned messaging and positioning.
Weβre not talking viral content, building an audience of hundreds of thousands, being on stage or being an influencerβ¦ itβs about running a business that gives you a workload you absolutely love, working with people who let you be the expert.
-
This will depend entirely on where you are when we start working together and how you are able to implement the strategy we plan together.
