Business & Sales Strategist for Solos & Service Based Entrepreneurs | You know your craft, I help you close it at higher rates | Elegant Client Acquisition | Grow from $5K to $30K+ months | Company Training

Imagine a business that grows with ease, because your sales system actually fits you.

Clients you’re excited to work with.
Content that sparks real conversations.
Offers you can confidently sell without pressure
And consistent revenue that doesn’t depend on hustle or hacks.

That’s what I help coaches, consultants, fractionals and founders build, with The Elegant Sales System™ method.

Telling your business' story through right content 
Driving engagement that results in interest, engagement, messages and requests
Market in a way that warms an audience and places you at the front of mind
Keeping ROI in mind with a focus on conversion rather than views

→ You’re posting, but not converting
→ Getting DMs—but not decisions
→ Sales calls stall out or ghost
→ Your offer isn’t landing like it should
→ Leads feel random or hard to qualify

It’s not that you’re mediocre at sales.
You just don’t have a system built around how real people buy.

That’s what we fix inside The Client Acquisition Club.
I teach a no-pressure, sales process that combines:

✔️ Warm outbound
✔️ Buyer-led conversations
✔️ Follow-up flows that don’t drop the ball
✔️ AI to speed things up, not water them down
✔️ Real messaging that speaks to your client’s actual pain points
✔️ Scaling your business beyond $10K a month so you can focus your energy on what matters

Even if you're a consultant with big B2B cycles that are complex, we help you navigate the buyer matrix.

- Generate more leads, clients, and business without relying only on referrals or networking
- Create different income streams with courses, speaking + brand deals
- Magnetize your brand & build trust with premium buyers
- Consistently hit $20K+ months without working harder
- Shift from 1:1 to scalable hybrid group programs
- Sell with confidence & sell as you

I also work 1:1 with consultants and coaches who want deeper support and accountability as they grow into consistent 5-figure months (and beyond).

Charlotte Lloyd

I stopped trying to fix my daughter.

And it changed how I run my business.

My daughter is autistic.
She feels the world in a way most people don’t. 
Deeper. Louder. Sharper. 

Sometimes it floors her. Sometimes it floors me.

Every time I watch someone try to squeeze her into a box she was never built for…

…I think about how often founders do the same thing to themselves.

Especially around year two.
Year one is survival mode. 
You’re just trying not to drown.
Year two hits differently.

You suddenly realise the things you were told you “should” do don’t actually work for you. 

Not because you’re lazy. 
Not because you’re doing it wrong. 
Because you’re trying to run your business in a way your nervous system can’t stand.

That offer you dread delivering? 
That marketing tactic that spikes your anxiety? 
That “scalable” model that just scales burnout?
Yeah. That.

You’re allowed to walk away from the stuff that doesn’t fit you.
We forget this: 

Most of us left corporate because we couldn’t breathe in the tiny box they gave us. 

Then we go build… another box.

Watching my daughter move through a world that wasn’t designed with her in mind taught me something I didn’t want to admit:

Difference isn’t a flaw. 
Building around how 𝘺𝘰𝘶 work is a strategy, not a compromise.

Stop copying business models that drain you. 
Stop chasing goals that never felt like yours. 
Stop squeezing yourself into shapes that look “marketable” but feel awful.

What if you built the thing you actually need? 
The way 𝘺𝘰𝘶 need it?

Because the wild thing is… 
The more you honour how you’re built, the more everything else starts lining up.

On your terms. At your pace. No box required.

What did you let go of in year two that didn’t fit anymore?

I stopped trying to build a group program like everyone else.
After 85 live coaching sessions in 
The Client Acquisition Club

It's time to showcase the brilliant work our members do.

And a membership it is, but in the spirit of empowerment and helping others.

I want to put the spotlight on them. 

Often group programs: 

Focus on results .
Promise connection, deliver surface-level interactions.
Are built for engagement, not transformation.

The Client Acquisition Club was designed differently from day one.

No endless networking events. 
Live coaching.

Sales and deal making strategy.
Actual solutions.

How do you sound natural on camera? 
Most people think it’s about being yourself. 
It’s not.

As Nausheen I. Chen in our OpusClip 
Video and speaker coach told me recently:

“If you don’t show energy, enthusiasm, 
and passion for your topic, no one else will feel it.”

You might know your subject inside out, 
but if you don’t bring that energy forward, people won’t believe it.

AI can write your script. 
It can edit your clips. 
It can even generate your captions.

But it can’t fake conviction. 
It can’t replicate human energy. 
And it definitely can’t make people 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 something.

When the spotlight’s on you, whether it’s a stage or your phone camera

You have to bring 𝟭𝟮𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.

Not the version of you who slumps on the couch. 
The version who believes deeply in what they’re saying.

You’re not performing. 
You’re communicating with intention.

Mastering your voice, energy, and body language 
Isn’t about being fake
It’s about being 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵.

If you want your audience to care, you have to go first.

I've spoke and hosted many events.
Most blur together after a while.

But this one? This one's different.

Midnight to Millions isn't your typical conference.
It's 24 hours straight of real sales expertise.

No fluff. No theory.
Just people who are actually doing the work.

One expert every hour.
Twenty-four sessions back-to-back.
Real strategies you can use immediately.

I'm speaking at 2AM EST / 8AM CET on November 7th.
(Perfect timing for your morning coffee or night cap)

https://lnkd.in/e3QAcYZG

My session covers what actually gets clients:

Finding prospects who are ready to buy
Building a personal brand that creates demand
Using AI to scale without losing authenticity

The thing is - most people overcomplicate client acquisition.

They think they need complex funnels.
Or perfect websites. Or thousands of followers.

What they actually need?
The right conversations with the right people.

That's what I'll be breaking down.
Step by step.

Sign up here:
https://lnkd.in/eiGVNfdG

See you there.

5 myths I stopped believing and everything changed.

1️⃣ "I need more experience before I can charge what I'm worth."

Your corporate background already proves your expertise. Stop underpricing yourself while you "build credibility."

2️⃣ "High-ticket clients expect me to chase them."

Wrong. Premium buyers want to feel chosen, not hunted. Scarcity sells better than availability.

3️⃣ "If I raise my prices, I'll lose all my clients."

You'll lose the wrong ones. The right clients were waiting for you to value yourself properly.

4️⃣ "I need to say yes to every opportunity to build momentum."

Desperation repels high-ticket buyers. Selectivity signals expertise and creates demand.

5️⃣ "Good work speaks for itself."

Silence doesn't sell. 
Your expertise needs a voice, a process
A clear path to transformation.

This isn't about sales tactics.

It's about:
→ How you position your value in the market
→ The boundaries that protect your energy and profits  
→ Systems that turn expertise into predictable revenue
→ Shifting from order-taker to strategic advisor

The gap isn't your experience or your network.

It's the courage to charge what you're worth and the systems to deliver it consistently.

Success is built one confident conversation at a time.

Which myth do you still catch yourself believing?

Post inspo from Jay Rahman

Most high achievers struggle when they start their own business.

But running my own business? That was the real test.

For years, I thrived on clear expectations.
Study hard, get good grades.
Meet targets, get promoted.
Follow the system, succeed.

The rules were set.
The path was mapped out.
Success felt predictable.

Then I started my own business.

Suddenly:
• No guaranteed salary at the end of the month.
• There was no boss to tell me what to do.
• No clear metrics to follow.

The skills that made me excel before?
They weren't enough anymore.

Being smart wasn't the challenge.
Being disciplined wasn't the issue.

The real test was learning to:
• Handle rejection and keep going.
• Trust my own judgment without validation.
• Sell my expertise when I'd never had to before.

In corporate, I had a team, resources, and established processes.
In business, I had to build everything from scratch.

The hardest part wasn't the long hours or financial uncertainty.
It was the mental shift.

From employee to entrepreneur.
From following to leading.
From certainty to constant adaptation.

Many of the consultants and coaches I work with face this same reality.

They were top performers in their careers.
They have incredible expertise.
But building a business tests different muscles entirely.

It's not about being less capable.
It's about learning new skills:

• How to scale beyond trading time for money.
• How to position your expertise in the market.
• How to attract and convert ideal clients.

The transition isn't easy, but it's worth it.

Because once you learn these new skills, 
You don't just run a business.
You aren't just self employed.

You create the freedom and impact 
You've always wanted.

What's been your biggest learning curve in business?

I wrote this post with MagicPost

We’re in a trust recession. A connection crisis 
Yet you’re still hiding behind text posts? 

Most founders think they need to “learn video.” 
They don’t.

Part 2 with Nausheen in this OpusClip who says
If you’re already posting on LinkedIn, 
you’ve already done the hard part.

Smart entrepreneurs, execs, and consultants hiding behind the keyboard.
They’ll happily use AI to write their posts but won’t show their face.

We’re not just in a trust recession. 
We’re in a connection crisis.
People don’t know what’s real anymore. 

They don’t trust filtered content. They trust 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴.
And yes, video 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 get less reach than text. 
But it builds 𝟭𝟬𝘅 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 with the right people.

Because video isn’t just content. It’s 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳.
📌 Proof of how you think 
📌 How you speak 
📌 How you handle challenges 
📌 How you carry yourself under pressure

Your clients aren’t buying your words. 

They’re buying 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
And if they can’t see you? 
You’re hitting a ceiling on your credibility, your conversions, and your growth.

Video isn’t optional anymore. 
It’s the fastest path out of the trust recession and into real connection.

🔥 Week in Review: We Came, We Saw, We Dominated. 🔥


This past week was straight-up electric. My goal? Turning potential into paychecks.


Post-MEDICA Momentum 🚀


Heard from Zach that MEDICA 2025 was a total home run. Now the real game begins: the follow-up. We're turning those "great conversations" into concrete, closed deals. The execution phase is where the true competitive advantage is built.


Planting Seeds & Working the Phones 📞


My dialer finger is officially getting a workout. I spent hours on the phone this week, planting serious seeds with future prospects. Think of me as the gardening guru of sales, except the harvest is revenue, and my tools are a phone and pure charm. 😉


Smartening Up the Prospecting Game 📈


Tired of guessing games? Me too. We're partnering with SureConnect to get surgical with our prospecting. Identify the phone-pick-up artists and the LinkedIn lurkers. Prediction? My conversion rate is about to get a serious upgrade. Efficiency is the new swagger.


Data Cleanup Grind:

Still in the data trenches. Painfully tedious, yes, but a clean list is a powerful list. You can't shoot a cannon from a canoe, and you can't close deals with messy data.


Cold Email, Elevated 📧


Big shoutout to Elijah Awoke for the introduction to Moe R. We're teaming up to build a strategic cold email infrastructure. Less "spray and pray," more "sniper shot." We need supplementary support, not hundreds of random mailboxes.


December is for warming those mailboxes up; January 1st is when we turn the heat all the way up. I'm stoked to gather this data and have this running in the background while I focus on what I do best: calling.


I've been diving into Zach's book on how to set up your high performing distributors in international markets—it's the absolute blueprint for building a global empire the right way. Stop leaving money on the table internationally.


Want the 🔑 to scaling your international sales?
DM me "DISTRIBUTOR" right now. Let's talk strategy, and I'll send you the book details. Because the only thing better than success is sharing the roadmap. 🗺️
