Accelerating YOur BUSINESS' GROWTH doesn't happen without a clear strategy and key relationships
Know You can scale Your BUSINESS faster but feel like you've hit a barrier?
When it comes to driving your sales upward, there is waaaaay more to it than is assumed. Working harder to develop inauthentic conversations, cutting your price, attending networking events, paying through the nose for ads, bending over backwards for clients, taking on more… all that could be helpful but if you don’t have an understanding of the key pieces that drive sales up consistently, let alone scaling your sales exponentially, then it's highly unlikely you're going to scale your business to the next level regardless of how great your expertise or product is.
I know this because I have been a sales professional independently, running a global team, and setting up systems and strategy for over 15 years while advising clients at the C level. I learned the revenue leadership game from the inside. After moving into sales out of necessity during the 2008 recession, I spent YEARS working long odd hours, stressing myself out regularly, being available for clients 24/7, and producing high amounts of revenue predictably for my employer - even moving within a mile of my office so I could work more. I felt stuck. I was the top female performer in my firm nationwide, and worked for an amazing company, but I realized I needed to work smarter. It was obvious I was missing something really important in order to reach the next level.
I got an MBA, was hired into two of the nation's best selling programs in my career and figured out the formula for what worked for me as a female in revenue generation. I soon discovered that there exists a large gender inequity amongst sales leaders, and founders of startups tasked with sales. I became passionate about helping founders sell more, to help bridge this gap.

the inner alignment and outer Perception that even Business coaches don’t talk about - Because they don't know and aren't sales strategists
The only reason your Business isn't where you want it to be yet is because no one has sat down with you and showed you how to excel at "the game"
With my goal being to be the youngest and first female top achiever in my revenue leadership career, I needed to bring in more revenue that my much more experienced counterparts did. As I was determined to uncover best practices of my peer executives, I went the route of working harder than everyone else. After spending weeks working nearly 100 hour weeks, I was outperforming, but realized it was unsustainable.
Exhausted, embarrassed and frustrated, I remember thinking, “This is not sustainable.”
I don’t believe I wasted any time learning from them or working hard, but I do believe that's when I realized I needed to play a different game. I needed to work smarter.
I was playing the game of out work/out smart/dress the part/do everything, while slowly burning out. So, I changed things up and left sales to gain a Master's of Business Administration. I got hired by the world's largest tech firm to sell some of the most complex solutions. I attended the best sales trainings on the planet. I moved to Silicon Valley to sell these complex solutions to some of the globe's brightest minds. I was working smarter.
Though my intentions were good, I realized that working smarter, vs harder was not the only thing I needed to do. To become the best, I needed to develop what worked for me sustainably - not the cookie cutter approach being taught in formal sales trainings that everyone did.
Sustainable, Strategic sales
I finally spoke to the quickest rising millennial executives in my network, and they all had common best practices that taught me the REAL “game” of consistent SALES IS NOT TAUGHT IN A SALES SCHOOL, OR OUTSOURCE. IT's A SMART, SYSTEMATIC, AND CONTINUALLY INNOVATIVE STRATEGY.
Scaling my own venture that gives me a meaningful sense of purpose and legacy,

day to day involvement

Passion for economic empowerment & sustainable income for women
Focused on sales strategy development for experts, founders and firm owners
The formula that's missing, plain and simple, is the formula I took 15+ years developing as a corporate sales leader turned sales strategist.
In fact, I find this hesitation is common with naturally smart and talented professional perfectionists – we think we can “beat the system” by putting the pieces together ourselves in order to “save money” and avoid investing because we’re smart. This is exactly why smart, talented professionals often take the longest to find success – we hold ourselves back with questioning if we should make the investment and “making do” until we can’t.
What I didn’t realize until later was the time I spent without a strategy was not just lost time, but lost income and income equality. I could have reached higher levels at an even younger age. Imagine where you'd be right now if you would have achieved the level of business success, visibility and income you’re seeking years ago? (It’s sickening, isn’t it?)
