Over the past 10+ years, I went from being a freelance project manager to building a 7-figure agency that employs over 20 people.

I briefly stepped down as day-to-day CEO at Tako Agency in 2021 and started my product studio, 920Four.com. Now I run both agencies. 

I became interested in building SaaS products in early 2018 when I started Tako Agency, and my goal was to cater to the niche-SaaS business market. Since then, I have built Sparetoolz.com, Thymeline.co, and a few others, and more are in the works. 

I am a multi-passionate entrepreneur, and I am on a mission to help freelancers, early agency owners, and digital product builders grow their businesses. 

What I have done and what I am doing:

→ Currently building www.thymeline.co at www.920four.com.

→ Built Tako Agency | 7-figure eCommerce agency. 

→ Built Sparetoolz | a peer-to-peer tool rental marketplace. 

→ Built 920Four | Product studio focused on niche products.

EB Bennett Media

Creating a reliable system for bringing in new clients is a challenge for any business, but as a LinkedIn lead generation expert, I help my clients create their own custom lead generation system to grow their revenues with less time, money, and effort -- just like I did for a growth coach recently!

Julie had hit a ceiling, unable to close more than 9 clients a year, and was in a frantic state with no consistent or reliable way to generate new clients.  She knew she was at risk of burning herself out if she didn’t figure things out quickly.  

After discussing her situation in detail, we put together a plan to update her LinkedIn profile and create a messaging system for finding her ideal clients.  Within just three months, she was consistently adding new connections, securing additional speaking and podcasting opportunities, and building a sustainable income that has allowed her to generate 55 new clients in under a year.  

“The investment at the time in such a tight money situation was a little bit of a leap, but it turned out to be totally worth it and has paid for itself many times over.  I’m now on pace for 60 clients this year, resulting in 7x more revenue!”

Julie Schaller, Career Growth Coach

CASE STUDY:  Coach/Consultant Grows From $30K Yearly - $30K Monthly Hiring Team For 7Figures Growth

As a LinkedIn Lead Generation Coach, I help clients dramatically increase their sales using the latest marketing concepts and strategies, just like I did for one of my consulting clients.  

He came to me after 9 years successfully running his SEO business with upwards of 60 clients that abruptly came to a halt.  Three months after suffering without clients he was forced to deplete his $50,000 savings to $0.

He tried to purchase leads and even hired a LinkedIn guru to help, but he only ended up getting the worst leads he had ever seen.  With his last dollars he came to me hoping he found someone who knew what they were talking about.  

After analyzing my client’s situation in detail, I developed a unique system he desperately needed to completely change his life around.

The result?

My client went from barely generating 4 demos a month to 15-20 in a week.  He says it’s a HUGE relief to finally have a front-end pipeline that isn’t 1000% on him to fill when he has to work for 60 clients and manage an entire business.

He finally feels good about his future and the longevity of his business to the point of making plans to hire another rep and assistant to help him manage everything.

The warm people he is connecting with daily who actually want his help allow him to love his business "10X more" than when he was cold calling to generate clients.   

He says we solved A HUGE and probably only piece of his business he truly needed a security blanket for resulting in “a whole new bag for Papa.”

CASE STUDY:  Consultant Doubles Income From $125,000 To $225,000 & Hires A Team To Help w/ Growth

The year I first focused exclusively on filling up my client's calendars with LinkedIn leads every day on autopilot, was the year I started getting a steady stream of testimonials and case studies that changed lives and made me feel like a superhero.

I used to think I had to hire someone to do everything for me, but no Facebook ads, no websites, no email service, no SEO I was reselling came close to the results I consistently get for my clients who need premium B2B leads on autopilot.

I never dreamed I could get life-changing results over and over again when no other service out there came even close to my consistent results.

My consultant Jamie McKean nudged me to give it a try and helped me realize it was time to focus exclusively.

Person after person got great results like Jill Diamond American Accent Specialist who found herself trying to figure out how to keep her 20-year business alive she was used to having a sales team support to having to figure out how to find her own leads and clients.

With my help, Jill was able to scale up to a steady stream of leads and clients which created a ripple effect that led to being able to JUST SAY NO to anyone she didn't want to work with. And then she became profitable enough to realize her dream of scaling to launch her online program.

Oh, and then, in large part, because her business and profits had grown, she was able to launch a charity where she can now gift people in need who can't afford her services. The end!

Not really the end. But maybe the start for you?

The Leads You Love program consistently helps coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs stop relying on referrals and huge marketing budgets blowing thousands of dollars on monthly agency and ad spend fees.
