Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Valeria Chelius Saldaña. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Valeria , appreciate you joining us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Throughout my life I have taken risks countless times, and I have continue to do so because I have discovered that taking risks has made me grow and made me experience situations that challenge my whole being.
The biggest risk I took in my life was to make the decision to move out of state completely alone, without my parents, without acquaintances, without any support.
Why did I do it? Because I knew I wanted my life to be different and that nothing was going to change in my life unless I made a decision.
When I moved to Los Angeles I found many challenges a long the way but all of these experiences is what made me grow.
After making these decisions and completing my school I had 2 options on the table, my first one was to go back to where I had come from which was what I left behind once upon time. My family would have took care of paying the bills but I quickly realized than being uncomfortable is what made me achieve what I wanted in life. However you always have to have a second option, my second option was to continue growing and forming my path with my own effort.
Clearly the option I took was the second.
The second biggest risk of my entire life was to give up and say goodbye to the only lifestyle I knew, I left my regular job, and invested every last dollar in myself through personal development.
Paying all your money and staying at $0 again is difficult, but I decided to take the risk because I trusted myself, that if I had already achieved it once I could do it a second time.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My path in the financial industry began a few years ago through academic research in universities of prestigious background. I was determined to graduate from the best universities in the world as my efforts and passion was focused on making this a thriving career.
What were the universities of choice?
UNAM a highly respected institution of Mexico City where the best talent of Mexican culture and history has been upheld for over a 100 years producing the best talented professionals of it’s kind. Where my choice of education was pursued in accounting and financial records.
UCLA in California, Los Angeles, which is considered the top 1 public university for eight consecutive years. Holding the most recognizable and distinguished faculty of education to the public. studying to be a Financial Strategist as my dedication to understanding the financial industry in every aspect was crucial for my success.
HARVARD university became a major keynote and attribution on completing and mastering this industry at it’s finest level. Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded October 28, 1636, and named for its first benefactor, the Puritan clergyman John Harvard. By the 19th century, Harvard emerged as the most prominent academic and cultural institution among the Boston elite. Since its founding nearly four centuries ago, Harvard alumni have distinguished themselves in academia, activism, arts, athletics, business, entrepreneurship, government, international affairs, journalism, media, music, non-profit organizations, politics, public policy, science, technology, writing, and other industries and fields. Upon graduation I applied all this knowledge consumed over the course of years and shared my experiences and knowledge to humanity.
After some time in the financial industry, I found something that would soon become my passion, the High Ticket Sales industry.
This industry confirms the love and passion I have for connecting and helping people achieve their goals, their objectives and their biggest dreams, how? through a product, service or relationship that brings them closer to what they desire in life
There is a phrase that governs my life and it is “If you do not live to serve, you are not fit to live.” The difference between professionals in the same industry is customer service. Personally, I know how to read my clients and based on that I can give them the best possible attention and treatment because they are not just a client, it is about building a valuable relationship.
I am proud of the reputation I have built, in the physical world and on social network platforms. I have already became an opinion leader and an empowerment leader for many women, because I am not afraid to say the truth and give reality to many human beings through honesty, integrity and core values.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I started on social media at the age of 20, as a simple hobby trying to do what everyone did, the same challenges, the same music, everything exactly the same but it was only a hobby for me, because I never intended to make it part of my life.
Time passed and just 6 months ago I started taking my social media seriously, because I understood that it was a way to connect with more people.
Of course, at first everything on my pages was terrible, but I have been learning everything that has to do with content creation, strategies, statistics, vitality and everything that exists in that world.
When developing a financial position, my social media are supposed to be “serious”, but to be honest I have discovered that people do not like to see “perfect lives”, they like to agree with who you really are.
Most of my clients come from social media, and it is very common to tell me, I chose you because I have seen who you are, connect with you and trust you.
Currently my social media are focused on finance, mindset, and education.
My Podcast is available on YouTube and Spotify, I share my experience and educate my audience about how they are also able to transform their reality, not only from the spiritual and energetic, but through the material reality.
TikTok is my favorite, it’s 100% me, every video, every short of my published podcast is a bit of me and my essence.
And through Instagram I share my whole day, who I am, what I do, how I do it is basically like a video call with your best friend.
To make social networks I have 2 tips.
1.Make a strategy, social media like all businesses require a plan, see what doesn’t work and find the formula that works for your audience and for you as a personal brand.
2.Be genuine, don’t pretend a life that’s not yours, don’t try to like everyone, people are very intelligent and they realize when you’re not real.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
The best strategy to grow your clientele I would say that it is divided into 2 parts.
Customer service
The most important part of it is always to take care of your clients and give them excellent service as well of courteous treatment to those clients you already have because those customers will share their experiences with the people that they know. This is a testimony that is a 100% credible and believable, that will lead to a close deal.
In addition, no matter how many customers you have, you always have to treat each of them as if they were your first customer.
My dad will always say
“Valeria maybe for you is just another number to the list of clientele” However the truth is, for that client you’re that person that is their first supplier of service, a service that can provide and solve the solution to what they are looking for.
Marketing and sales
It’s Extremely important do marketing, why?, because;
*It doesn’t matter how good is your offer is you don’t know how to present it.
*It doesn’t matter how good your product or service is if no one knows about it.
Marketing comes in many ways; organic, paid, personal, by reference, etc. the point is that everyone needs to know what you do and obviously create a non irresistible offer.
I am a financial strategist and sales coach for a 9 figure company. I am dedicated on teaching how to generate strategic plans for my client’s projects and visions. My vision is to provide the knowledge and tools for those seeking to live their personal and business life at it’s highest level possible.
I learned how to sell after investing money and lot’s of time to study this skill, of course I made mistakes at the beginning but believe me, sales is the best skill you can learn, in fact very soon my online courses will be available and I’m super excited!
Let me introduce you to some of the topics I will be covering in my new program.
1. Sales (how to sell, how to close, principles behind the sale and the structure behind a deal closed)
2. Mindset (reprogramming your brain to be successful, changing your mentality and beliefs so you can create the life you are meant to live)
3. Finances (make a financial plan for your goals and objectives so they can be achieved in a timely manner with a secure outcome. A structure for your personal and business finances that can create peace of mind and leave generational wealth that can be shared with your family or loved ones, last but not least I will share insider tips of economic planning so regardless of the situation in the world your funds and assets are secured and bulletproof of any adversary to face.
