Be the mint scoop in a sea of vanilla sales messages so you can start more conversations with skeptical prospects.

I created the Badass Growth Guide to eliminate commission breath. It gives you the best possible chance of starting conversations with people you don't know. It's a radically honest approach where prospects feel safe telling you the truth because they don't feel "sold" or "manipulated."

💥WHAT YOU GET:
➡️ More conversations with your ideal prospects.

I post weekly content about sales on LinkedIn.

This is by far my best-performing cold email subject line.

It also gets the most responses.

Via {Name}.

When I sold into HR, I didn’t start with people at the top.

I started with the ones doing the work.

During those conversations, I’d ask,
“Would it be okay if I mentioned your name when I reach out to {Scott}?”

If they said yes, I’d include their name in the subject line:

Via Kim.

And my first sentence was simple:
“Kim suggested I contact you regarding FSA participation.”

Doors at the top open more easily
when someone below has already welcomed you in.

Struggling to book meetings? Getting ghosted? Want to sell without pushing, convincing, or begging? Read this profile.

Don’t let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn’t say on a cold call.

There’s no “right” way.

Only your way.

There is no single path.
Only the one that fits your rhythm.

The one that rolls off your tongue with ease.
The one that feels like breathing, not acting.

The one that makes you sound like a person, not a playbook.

Find your way. 
Then refine it.

That’s when cold calls start to feel less like performing…
and more like connecting.

“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”

– Andy Bernard, The Office

It’s the kind of line that sounds soft at first…
but hits like a freight train later.

Because we don’t recognize our strength
until stairs leave us winded.
We don’t notice our energy
until it’s gone by 2 p.m.
We don’t appreciate feeling good in our bodies
until they stop cooperating.

The good old days aren’t just high school or your twenties.
They might be today.
Right now.
This moment, where your joints still work
and your kids still ask to play.

We’re wired to take things for granted until they’re gone.
To wish we could go back, even though we never really noticed what we had.

So here’s a thought:
What if today is one of those days?

Not perfect.
Not dramatic.
But one you’ll miss.

What would you do differently
if you knew you were already in the good old days?

Financial Times Commercial

Regional Director Financial Times 

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).

If you’re ready to build a sales process that finally matches your skill set and values…

Would you hire a top athlete without a coach?

Of course not.

Top athletes don't they lack skill
But they do want to win consistently.

They need someone to close the gap between:
Great and excellent.
Business is no different.

Malou is one of the sharpest sales operators I know. 
She runs a top-tier sales consulting business. 

Champion show jumper. 
The kind of person who trains others on negotiation.
Her "secret agent" advisory is her trademark.

She 𝘪𝘴 the athlete of her business.
But even she knew something could be better.

Last month, we worked together on her leads + DM flow. 
She was sitting on top leads she hadn't reached out to
We re-activated conversations.

Tweaks to how she handled key moments in the sale
Nothing changed with her offer. Nor her audience. 
Just the execution + nuance. 

When top business athletes get to work:

✅ $35K team engagement 
✅ $20K in 1:1 coaching 
✅ $55K total—closed before Q4 even started

What did we change?

Grit + determination to win bigger + better
Replies from leads who were on her radar 
But were slipping through the net.
She sat on some major opportunities, without realising it.

Having a coach in her back pocket to grow her business
without the time wasted on relying on herself.

Sometimes you're already 95% of the way there.
That final 5%? Turns "maybe" into another YES.

Even the best need someone who can see what they can't.

Agree? 

Opening up 2 spots for November, hit book an appointment but only if you're serious about going the extra mile for your business.
