Most Executive Coaches and Consultants are stuck in a precarious trade-off: 

You either spend 20+ hours a week "feeding the algorithm" to get clients, or you serve your clients and watch your pipeline dry up.

You don't have a lead generation problem. You have a capacity problem.

The old way of growing a consulting practice: manually writing posts, engaging in comment pods, and sending cold DMs, is a fast track to burnout. 

Worse, it’s ineffective. The 360Brew LinkedIn algorithm now penalises low-value activity and demands "Proof of Expertise". To succeed today, you need volume and depth. You cannot do this alone.

I act as a Fractional Growth Partner for high-level coaches & consultants. I don’t just give you a strategy; I install a complete Turnkey Growth Infrastructure into your business.

My methodology, The Hybrid Growth System, solves the capacity constraint by fusing two critical elements:

1. The Human Engine (Trained Growth Specialists) I place a fully trained, vetted Growth Associate into your business. They are not generalist VAs. They are trained specifically on LinkedIn mechanics, engagement depth, and authentic community management. They use AI that we customise to your business to increase efficiency and give you back your precious time.
 
2. The System Engine (Marketing Automation) Reliance on LinkedIn alone is a single point of failure. I build your off-platform assets:
* Lead Magnet Engineering: Creating high-value "Reference Assets" that trigger algorithmic Saves.
* Email Ecosystems: Automated newsletter sequences that convert rented social audiences into owned email lists.
* Analytics & Attribution: A tracking layer to show exactly where your revenue originates.

The result isn’t just "more likes." It is Time Sovereignty. My clients typically reclaim 20+ hours per week while stabilising a booking rate of 10-40 qualified sales calls per month.

I offer three levels of partnership:
1. DFY Systems Build: Complete installation of the marketing engine.
2. Growth Staffing: Placement of a managed Growth Associate.
3. DWY Training: Mentorship to build this internal capability yourself.

If you’re ready to stop being a "content creator" and start being a CEO, DM me to see if your business is ready for installation.

3 things I love about LinkedIn

And 3 things I don't love...

I love:

1. Meeting new people
2. Learning stuff from others
3. More positive that other platforms

I don't love:

1. AI comments that provide no value
2. Getting pitch-slapped daily
3. Unedited AI content

Thanks for stopping by my profile! I'm always down to connect and explore new opportunities.

Here's a quick snapshot about me:

A Tony Robbins enthusiast, bio-hacking aficionado, and adrenaline junkie. I'm passionate about high-altitude jumps, scuba diving, and sky-diving, alongside my interest in longevity practices like ice baths and cryotherapy.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:
I specialize in building efficient remote teams and designing marketing campaigns that significantly increase your ROI. With a focus on effective collaboration and data-driven strategies, I aim to elevate your business's performance and success.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗗𝗼 𝗜𝘁:
The thrill of overcoming challenges and helping other entrepreneurs succeed drives me. I aim to inspire growth, improvement, and the breaking of barriers.

Over the last decade, I’ve learned this firsthand. From starting as a door-to-door salesman to leading one of Australia’s fastest-growing education platforms, I’ve discovered that sustainable success comes not from hustle alone but from rhythm, discipline, and systems.

To give back to the community, I created my free newsletter: “7 Frameworks. 7 Actions. 7 Days to Design Your 7-Figure Foundation.” It’s a simple yet powerful way to share the exact strategies I’ve used to scale teams, create focus, and engineer outcomes, so other entrepreneurs can apply them to their own journey.

In May 2017, I founded Get My Course, an education company built on the same belief: completions matter more than sign-ups. Through nationally recognised certification, and a dedicated Completions Team, we help learners accelerate careers in Childcare, Aged Care, Disability, and Education. For employers, we support workforce recognition at scale with accountability reporting and skills pipelines that prepare teams for the future.

This approach has led to milestones I’m proud of: 
→ Recognition in Forbes as a top business leader, 
→ Delivering a TEDx talk that inspired thousands, 
→ Leading Get My Course into the AFR Fast 100 list, 
→ Winning EO Accelerator of the Year, 
→ Earning a Stevie Award for Sales and Revenue Generation, 
→ Achieving the Million Dollar Award for rapid growth,  
→ Being named to the 40 Under 40 list for leadership and innovation.

If you’re building a business and want frameworks that create clarity, if you’re a learner ready to accelerate qualifications, or if you’re an employer looking to drive completion and capability at scale, let’s connect. 
My goal is to share systems that help turn starts into finishes and visions into results.

One bad moment doesn’t ruin progress.
Dwelling on it does.

A mistake isn’t a stop sign.
Overthinking turns it into one.

Growth is messy by design.
It includes pauses, missteps, and recalibration.

Strong people don’t avoid setbacks.
They refuse to let one moment define the whole story.

Acknowledge it. Learn from it. Move on.
One moment is feedback.
Not a verdict.

Keep going.

Consistency > intensity. 

Growth doesn’t come from big sprints it comes from small daily actions stacking up.

Your daily stone could be:
– One follow-up or DM
– Share a quick insight or small win
– Improve one tiny process

Make it easy: link to an existing habit, shrink it on busy days, protect your streak with a “30-second task.”

Teams, pipelines, brands they all grow on rhythm, not chaos.

📌What’s your one action today that will pay off tomorrow?

Your brain is a prediction machine.
Whatever you feed it repeatedly, it starts looking for proof of.

When you obsess over problems → you see obstacles everywhere.
When you obsess over outcomes → you start spotting patterns, people, and opportunities others miss.

That’s not magic.
That’s selective attention + belief reinforcement.

Top performers don’t “get lucky.”
They train their mind to expect results.

They rehearse wins before they happen
They speak to themselves differently
They act as if clarity already exists

Over time, confidence sharpens intuition.
Intuition sharpens decisions.
Decisions compound into results.

From the outside, it looks like:
“Wow, they just knew.”

From the inside, it’s:
“I prepared my mind to see what others ignored.”

You don’t need supernatural powers.
You need mental discipline.

Train your thoughts.
Your reality follows.

Comparison doesn’t just steal joy.
It steals momentum.

Watching others win won’t move you forward.
Doing the work will.

Comparison turns curiosity into pressure.
Pressure kills consistency.

Consistency builds results.
So shift the metric.

Did you get better than yesterday?
Did you ship one small thing today?

One SOP.
One proof.
One focused action.

Track effort, not rankings.
Build so quietly that you don’t have time to look sideways.

Potential grows where attention goes.

Growth isn’t the same for everyone. And it’s never a straight upward graph.

Some days you’re learning.
Some days you’re unlearning.
Some days it feels like nothing is moving but something inside you is.

Flat phases build patience.
Down phases build perspective.
Those invisible moments? They build capacity.

So if your graph looks messy right now, you’re not stuck.
You’re growing in a way that just hasn’t shown up yet.

You’re not stuck because you’re not working hard.
You’re stuck because you’re working without direction.

Hustle helps.
Clarity scales.

The moment you move from doing everything to leading with focus,
 your business starts breathing again.

Clear goals.
Right priorities.
Strong systems.

That’s how founders grow without burning out.

Freedom doesn’t come from working more.
It comes from knowing exactly what matters.

What are you focusing on today?

Everyone is busy asking: 
“What’s working for them?”

Very few ask: 
“What actually works for me?”

And that’s where most people silently lose. Just because a strategy worked for someone else doesn’t make it right for you. It only means they were capable of executing it.

Different timing.
Different energy.
Different strengths.
Different environments.
Different patience levels.

You don’t fail because the method is wrong.

You fail because the method doesn’t match your wiring.

🚨 The moment you stop trusting your own capability, you start copying.

And copying feels safe - until it costs you clarity, confidence, and momentum.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth no one tells you:
You already have an advantage someone else doesn’t.

But you won’t find it while chasing their playbook. Growth isn’t about following louder people. It’s about listening to yourself long enough to notice:

📌 What drains you fast
📌 What comes naturally to you
📌 What you can repeat consistently
📌 What you can improve obsessively

That’s your edge.

In life.
In career.
In business.
In personal branding.
In every little and big thing.

Stop borrowing confidence from others. Build competence in your way.

Use your brain.
Trust your capacity.
Design your own path.

Because the fastest way to feel stuck is to live someone else’s potential instead of your own.

Most people spend their days chasing results they can see right now.

The rare ones invest in what isn’t visible yet the skills, the habits, the decisions that compound over years.

They take small, uncomfortable actions today so their future self can live with freedom, options, and purpose.

It’s not about instant wins or comfort. It’s about building a life where you don’t trade time for money anymore.

📌Think beyond today. Your choices now are shaping your decades ahead.

Most people wait for clarity. 
High performers move without it.

Because real growth doesn’t come from having answers, it comes from learning while doing.

A few uncomfortable truths:

❌ No one is coming to show you the roadmap

📌 Confidence is built after action, not before

🚨 Overthinking is just fear dressed as preparation

📌 Speed beats perfection every single time

✅ The people winning started confused too

The advantage isn’t talent.
It isn’t resources.
It isn’t luck.
It’s the willingness to move first and adjust fast.

𝗣.𝗦. If you can stay calm in uncertainty, you’ll always be ahead of the crowd.

Most people CONFUSE hard work with smart work. The difference isn’t the 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯; it’s the direction of your effort.

You can work 10 hours a day, stay busy, feel exhausted…
and still achieve nothing meaningful.

Or you can work 1 focused hour in the right direction and move the needle faster than most people do all week.

Smart work is not about doing less. It’s about doing what actually matters.

Effort without direction is just NOISE.
Effort with clarity: becomes RESULT.

One light can spark a hundred more. That’s how leadership actually works.

You don’t need to shout.
You don’t need to control.
You don’t need to be everywhere.

You just need to show up with clarity, courage, and consistency.

📌 When a leader takes ownership, the team learns accountability.
📌 When a leader stays calm in chaos, the team finds confidence.
📌 When a leader believes first, others dare to try.

People don’t follow instructihey follow energy.

Be the light.
The right people will carry it forward.

What do I never do on a first call? 

(After making 7.8 million in cash in the last 2 years)

The first call is not for selling.
It’s for qualifying.

❌ Here’s what I stopped doing:
Trying to sound impressive
Pitching my process
Explaining my price
Rushing to close

✅What I started doing instead:
Being okay with “not a fit”
Asking better questions
Letting silence sit

That shift alone changed who I started ATTRACTING.

If you need to convince on call one,
you’re already playing defense.

The right clients don’t need pressure.
They need clarity.

What’s one thing you know you should stop doing on sales calls?

P.S. First calls are filters.

Some days you finish work and still feel behind.

Nothing went wrong.
Nothing meaningful moved either.

That’s the trap of busy work.
Progress comes from protecting focus, not extending hours.
 
When attention is scattered, even long days stay average.
When it’s locked in, a few hours create real output.

If your day didn’t move one important thing forward,
it didn’t matter how full it looked.

Focus first.
Everything else can wait.

5 sales psychology shifts I’m upgrading this year:

1- Relevance beats personalization

Using someone’s name or company isn’t personalization.

This is 👎
“Loved your profile. Thought we could connect.”

This works 👍
“Noticed you’re hiring SDRs while scaling outbound; most founders hit a lead quality dip at this stage.”

Relevance = their current problem, not their bio.

2- Stop pitching. Start mirroring.

The fastest way to lose a reply?
Explaining what you do.

Instead, mirror their internal thoughts.

People reply when they think:
“Wait… this is exactly what I’m dealing with.”

Use phrases like:
“Most teams at this stage struggle with…”
“A common mistake I see founders make is…”

You’re not selling.
You’re naming the pain they haven’t articulated yet.

3- Specific beats impressive

“Helping businesses scale” is invisible.
But this gets attention:

“Helping B2B founders turn LinkedIn conversations into 3–5 qualified calls a week.”

Specificity builds trust faster than credentials.

4- Lower the commitment, raise the curiosity

Don’t ask for a call too soon.
Ask for permission to add value.

Examples that work:

“Open to a 2-minute Loom with one insight?”

“Want me to show you where leads are leaking?”

Low effort for them.
High-curiosity trigger.

5- Follow-ups aren’t reminders. They’re reframes.

If you’re just saying “Following up,” stop.

Every follow-up should introduce:
📌 a new angle
📌 a new insight
📌 a new observation

Silence doesn’t mean no.
It means you haven’t said the right thing yet.

When your message feels like it was written for them,
replying becomes the easiest decision.

What’s the biggest mistake you see people making in outreach today?

P.S. Sales outreach isn’t about convincing; it’s about resonance.

I use this vocabulary with my team to close 7-figure dollar deals.
Words don’t just communicate, they position value, intent, and trust.

Here’s the shift that changes everything:

❌ Cost → ✅ Investment
People don’t invest in costs.
They invest in outcomes, growth, and transformation.

❌ Selling → ✅ Helping
Selling creates resistance.
Helping creates trust.

❌ Pitch → ✅ Conversation
Pitches feel scripted.
Conversations feel safe.

❌ Closing the deal → ✅ Enabling a decision
You don’t “close” people.
You help them decide with clarity.

❌ Objections → ✅ Concerns
Objections sound combative.
Concerns invite understanding.

❌ Convincing → ✅ Guiding
Convincing pushes.
Guiding leads.

❌ Follow-up → ✅ Re-engagement
Follow-ups feel needy.
Re-engagement feels thoughtful.

❌ Commission → ✅ Impact earned
Focus on impact first.
Income follows naturally.

❌ Discount → ✅ Risk reversal
High-ticket buyers don’t want cheap.
They want safety and certainty.

❌ Features → ✅ Outcomes
Features explain the product.
Outcomes explain the future.

❌ Benefits → ✅ Transformation
Benefits are logical.
Transformation is emotional.

❌ Handling objections → ✅ Clarifying reality
Most objections exist because clarity is missing.

❌ Urgency → ✅ Priority
Pressure creates fear.
Priority creates movement.

❌ Money problem → ✅ Priority problem
When pain is real, money is found.

❌ Teaching → ✅ Solution sharing
Teaching feels superior.
Solution sharing feels collaborative.

High-ticket deals are not closed by tactics.
They’re earned through language that respects intelligence, intent, and trust.

If your sales conversations feel heavy, awkward, or forced
It’s probably not your offer. It’s your vocabulary.

VOCABULARY FOR HIGH-TICKET SELLING

Hard work isn’t working 12-14 hours a day.

It’s doing the things that make your stomach drop.
The things most people delay, avoid, or talk themselves out of.

That idea stopped me.

For a long time, I thought hard work meant long hours, hustle, and burning out quietly.

But this reframed everything.

Right now, building my personal brand means showing up on video.
Speaking publicly.
Putting my thoughts out there where they can be judged.

It’s uncomfortable.
Some days, it’s genuinely scary.

And that’s exactly why it counts.

Because real hard work isn’t about time.
It’s about courage.

The courage to choose progress over comfort.
To do the thing that moves you forward, even when your mind wants you to stay safe.

If you’re feeling uncomfortable, you might not be doing it wrong.
You might just be doing the real work.

After being in enough real sales conversations, here’s how deal-closing skills actually break down…

𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹 (𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀):

𝟭. 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝟯𝟬%
Not listening to reply. Listening to understand.

You listen for:
-what they say
-what they avoid
-where they hesitate
-the emotion behind the problem

🚩Most deals are lost because people rush to talk. If you miss this, nothing else works.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀: 𝟮𝟱%
This is where most people hurry and lose. 

It’s the ability to:
-decode the real problem (not the surface complaint)
-understand where they’re stuck in their journey
-see why previous attempts didn’t work

💡This is the shift from seller → problem solver.

𝟯. 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱): 𝟮𝟬%
No generic frameworks. No copied playbooks.

This is about:
-customising the solution to their stage, urgency, and mindset
-connecting your offer directly to their pain
-showing fit, not features

✅ People don’t buy solutions. (actually)
They buy 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 + 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

𝟰. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 & 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆: 𝟭𝟱%
Deals close when people feel:
-safe
-not judged
-not pressured
-genuinely understood

This comes from:
-your tone
-your pauses
-your honesty
-your ability to say, “This may not be right for you.”

📌 Ironically, that’s what makes people say yes.

𝟱. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝟭𝟬%
This is where you:
-summarise their problem better than they can
-explain next steps clearly
-give direction without dominance

✅Confusion delays decisions. Clarity creates momentum.

Closing isn’t a moment. It’s the byproduct of how well you listen, diagnose, and lead the conversation.

Which of these do you think most people overestimate in sales?

P.S. If you’re talking more than you’re listening, you’re not selling; you’re presenting.

🔁 REPOST this to HELP others.
Follow Darshan Chavan

Seeing the world is amazing, but sometimes home is where you realize just how lucky you are.❤️

Most sales problems are misdiagnosed.

People think:
“Price is the issue.”
“Leads are the issue.”
“Budget is the issue.”
“Prospects aren’t serious.”

In reality, sales fails much earlier than the pitch.

It fails at perception.
Prospects don’t reject offers.

They reject unclear value, unsafe decisions, and poorly framed choices.

When someone says:

📌 “You’re expensive” → they haven’t anchored outcomes yet.

📌 “Let me think” → something feels risky or unresolved.

📌 “Send me details” → the conversation stayed surface-level.

📌 “No budget” → either priority is missing or value isn’t internalized.

Sales psychology isn’t about persuasion. It’s about reducing friction in decision-making.

High-quality sales conversations do three things well:

1: They make the problem feel urgent but safe to solve.

2: They position the seller as a guide, not a chaser.
	
3: They help the buyer justify the decision to themselves.

That’s why great salespeople don’t talk more. They frame better.

They don’t push urgency. 
They reveal the cost of inaction.

They don’t compete on price.
They compete on clarity.

And once you understand this, sales stops feeling like convincing…
and starts feeling like alignment.

If you’re struggling with objections, don’t fix your script.
Fix how the decision is being experienced.

That’s where deals are actually won.

9 Sales Psychology

Shortcuts are loud.
Sustainability is quiet.

Everyone wants the result.
Very few want the repetition that earns it.

If you’re hunting for quick wins,
you’re not building anything real.
You’re just stacking moments that won’t survive pressure.

The first real difference?
You stop asking how FAST
and start asking how SOLID.

Because shortcuts don’t skip time.
They skip skill.
They skip identity.
They skip judgment.

And whatever you skip
comes back to collect interest.

It’s the difference between:
– momentum vs mastery
– attention vs trust
– looking successful vs being undeniable

Most people don’t quit.
They just get exposed by the weight of what they built too fast.

If it needs hacks to grow,
it won’t survive reality.

Build something boring enough to last.
Build something heavy enough to stand.

Noise fades.
Foundations don’t.
