Debt Collector

In 2013, I entered B2B sales, building my book of business by cold calling 📞. This is a full-cycle role. My first deal closed a month outside of training for a whopping 345.00! The days of 90-100 cold calls a day paid off 💵.

We had a bell 🔔 you would ring for new business orders. After that first ring, I set a goal not to ring it unless the start-up order exceeded 10k. It took me seven months to earn it with an order of 29k 💵.

Eventually, I was closing high 6-figure to low 7-figure deals 💰.  

August 4th, 2022, a meeting popped up on my calendar to connect. Once HR appeared on the screen, I racked my brain to try and piece together what I did that could cause this. I happened to get laid off 🤔.

As a father of two kids on a single income, I felt like a failure. I went downstairs and apologized to Megan because I felt like I let her down 😔.

I took the time to grieve and heal. I wanted to land in tech sales, but I had no experience or college degree backing me. 

I started to lurk 👀 on LinkedIn with my 217 connections in September of 2022. I began to hand out connection requests like Oprah handed out keys 🔑. That method didn't work. 

On October 7th, 2022, I made my first post. It didn't go well. Shortly after, I created a post about myself seeking employment 🆘, and I went from 3-4 interviews a week. To 10-15 per week 📈. Thanks to the community.  

A quick stint at Paycor opened doors to the Employee Benefits space and landed at Leavitt Group NW.  
 
It's time to serve.

We have two kids. Titan, our son, was diagnosed as autistic, high-functioning, and non-verbal. He has proven experts wrong by how far he has come. I am so proud and admire your grit and determination. 

Our daughter Mine Mae was born six years after Titan. She is obsessed with her brother Titan and knows Jen Allen's voice because Winning The Challenger Sales was part of her bath time routine. 

Megan is my better half. She is strong, squats more than your boyfriend 🤣, and is a huge advocate for our children. 

I miss a heavy barbell but fell in love with golf on 12-7-2019 ⛳. I played my first round in the rain and shot a 132. Don't worry. I have gotten better and love it. I am Hawaiian but from the big island of California! 🤣🤣

I will get you a 6-figure job you LOVE ❤️ - DM yes to join the next free masterclass. I’ve helped 100s achieve this and can help you too. Transformational Career Coach | Podcaster | Storyteller

If we met at a coffee shop for coffee and you asked me what I do here's what I'd say:

Hey, I'm Natalie. I help people who know they're valuable but can't seem to convince anyone else - especially their boss or potential employers. You're probably underpaid, undervalued, or stuck in a 'golden handcuffs' situation that feels safe but doesn't reflect the value you’re actually providing. I teach you to see and communicate your value so clearly that getting paid what makes sense to you, makes sense to others too.

The slightly longer version would be... 

For 10 years, I trapped myself in an emotionally neglectful relationship where I heard: "Your feelings don't matter. You're too sensitive. You need to change." Meanwhile, I excelled professionally, easily negotiating raises and promotions.

This experience became something I turned into gold for a much better experience of life. I discovered how childhood messages shaped both realities... professionally believing "my work has value and I deserve to be paid well" while personally accepting "I'm better off with someone who mistreats me than being alone."

This painful journey became my superpower. Through my VCVC method (Value Creation, Value Communication), I help professionals who are chronically undervaluing themselves break free from "toxic security"... staying in situations that you know are less than you deserve because deep down, you believe it's the best you can get.

I see what you can't. Your "value blindness." Like being nose-blind to a familiar smell, you can't recognize your unique value because you've lived with it your whole life.

I've helped clients like Jamie transform low-value offers into higher salaries, and Rick confidently decline offers to later accept positions paying $30K more in environments that truly value him.

The more you honour and own your value, the more you will receive it back... in your professional life through money, and in your personal life through the people who show up for you.
