But what if the clients you’re attracting are responding to quiet signals your business is already sending?
In this episode of The Planner’s Edit, Desirée Adams breaks down the subtle marketing signals that quietly shape who feels aligned with your business long before they ever reach out. From pricing language and inquiry forms to tone, imagery, and what you don’t say, this conversation explores how clients interpret your leadership, confidence, and positioning through small but powerful cues
If you’ve been attracting interest but not the right inquiries, this episode will help you see what your marketing is really communicating — and where small shifts can create clearer alignment.

There’s a moment in many planners’ careers when coordination starts to feel too small, but full-service planning still feels out of reach.
In this episode of The Planner’s Edit, Desirée Adams breaks down how to know if you’re ready for full-service planning, and why readiness has far less to do with experience and far more to do with structure, positioning, and leadership.
Desirée walks through the key signs that indicate you may already be thinking like a full-service planner, even if your offers haven’t caught up yet. From feeling reactive in coordination roles, to solving problems earlier than your scope requires, to recognizing when your expertise is being underutilized, this episode gives language to what many planners feel but haven’t named.
If you’ve been wondering whether full-service planning is your next step, or what’s really holding you back, this episode will help you self-qualify and move forward with clarity.
