Every extra click in your buying process costs you money. Coaches, consultants and expert-led businesses have spent years sending prospects through a maze of Calendly links, payment platforms, intake forms and email confirmations before anyone hands over a dime. Drop-off happens at every step. The person who was ready to pay cools off because they couldn't find the right link in their inbox.

LinkedIn has taken care of this problem. Its new Advice Sessions feature lets you sell paid one-to-one consultations directly from your profile, with booking, payment and video calls all handled in one place.

When I grew my LinkedIn to 55,000 followers, people started asking for consulting sessions. I usually send them elsewhere. That might be about to change. The feature is rolling out to Premium Business subscribers in the US, and it gives anyone who sells expertise a clean route from interested stranger to paying client.

Why fewer clicks mean more clients

Someone reads your post, clicks your profile, decides they want to work with you and then hits a wall of logistics. They have to find your website, locate your services page, pick a slot, fill in a form, get a confirmation email, click another link to pay, and only then are they booked. By step four most people have given up. By step six they've forgotten why they were excited in the first place.

Advice Sessions collapse that whole sequence into one place. Your profile becomes the storefront. Someone interested in your expertise can book and pay without leaving LinkedIn, and you keep the entire fee because the platform doesn't take a cut.

What Advice Sessions does for your business

Premium Business subscribers will be able to offer one-to-one consultations from their LinkedIn profile, manage bookings inside the platform, take secure payments and host video calls in the same place. The whole transaction lives where your prospects already are. No redirects, no third-party tools, no payment processors to set up separately. LinkedIn handles the infrastructure and takes none of the revenue.

Plenty of consultants lose clients because their booking link broke, their payment system rejected an international card, or their confirmation email landed in spam. Advice Sessions keep everything inside one platform that your prospect already trusts.

How to set it up on your profile

Get your profile ready before the feature lands in your account. Your headline needs to say what you do and who you help, your about section needs to make the case for why someone would book a call with you, and your featured section needs to show evidence of your expertise. Treat your profile as a sales page, because once Advice Sessions goes live that's exactly what it becomes. People will land on it, decide whether to book within seconds, and click or leave.

Decide what your session will cover before you list it. Vague offers like "career advice" or "business strategy" don't convert because the buyer can't picture what they're getting. Specific offers like "sleep audit for new dads" or "pricing review for consultants charging under $5k per project" tell people exactly what they'll walk away with. Write the outcome of the session. Buyers pay for the result.

Pricing your advice sessions for maximum revenue

The number you put on your session dictates who books, what they expect and what they'll buy from you next. Three approaches work, and the one you choose depends on what you want the session to do in your wider business.

Advice sessions as a tripwire offer at $27 to $97

A low-priced session gets people through the door. Meal prep services that offer a huge discount on the first order and every gym that sells a $5 first session use the same logic. Once someone has paid you once, trust is established. They know you show up on time and deliver what you promised.

Repeat order psychology says they're up to 32 times more likely to buy from you again, which means a $27 session is the start of a $5,000 relationship. Use this when you have a higher-ticket offer to feed, deliver more than the price suggests, and let the session show what working with you at the next level looks like.

The main offer at $100 to $1,000

If your business runs on selling your time, your advice session can be your main offer. This works for consultants who price by the hour, coaches who sell strategy calls as their core product, and experts who charge for access to their thinking. Hold the price you'd charge anywhere else, because discounting on LinkedIn trains your audience to expect cheap.

Build the session to stand alone, with a documented outcome the buyer couldn't have reached on their own.

The high-ticket session at $1,000+

Premium pricing changes who books and how they treat the work. A $1,000+ session attracts buyers who are time-poor, ready to act and willing to pay for clarity over hours. It positions you above cheaper competitors and signals that your expertise commands a different consideration.

Price at this level when you have results to back it up, a niche you own , and the confidence to defend the number when someone asks. The right buyer doesn't flinch. The wrong buyer was never going to book you anyway.

Turn your LinkedIn profile into a paying client machine

LinkedIn has handed coaches, consultants and expert-led businesses the missing piece. You can now sell your time without sending prospects anywhere else, lose fewer buyers to friction, choose a pricing approach that fits your business whether that's a tripwire to feed bigger offers, a main offer that stands alone or a high-ticket session that signals premium positioning, and keep every dollar because LinkedIn takes no cut.

Get your profile ready, decide what you're selling and at what price, and be one of the first to switch Advice Sessions on the moment it lands in your account.
