#MarketingMuscle by Mike Phillips

Job Description: All of the things

I have been accelerating revenue growth for large and small businesses for over 12 years. My marketing grew revenue for businesses ranging from Silicon Valley tech startups to mom-and-pop local businesses. Now, I apply modern marketing to help freelancers, solopreneurs, and creators grow stronger revenue.

Solopreneur

Bringing creators, solopreneurs, and freelancers together — because nothing helps you grow stronger than good training partners. THE GYM is a free-to-join community dedicated to helping creators, freelancers, and solopreneurs grow stronger businesses. Together, we provide the mutual accountability, support, referrals, and knowledge you need to successfully grow your revenue in the creator economy.

Community Manager

Maple and Honey LLC

Founded Maple & Honey LLC in 2017 with the focus of delivering brand strategy & growth marketing consulting agency. Served dozens of local and global clients as a bespoke agency partnership.

Expanded by adding a media branch in 2020, producing content and digital products branded with the #MarketingMuscle hashtag. The content was originally distributed on exclusively LinkedIn and later expanded to include YouTube. The focus remained the same as the original consulting work: to make marketing make sense for regular people with small ventures.

Founder and Managing Partner

You have a rare story. Let's make you unforgettable. Find your sweet spot with Maple & Honey.

M&H is a professional storytelling firm; we build authentic, compelling narratives that move customers, hiring managers, and donors to take action with our clients. 

Our clients are small businesses and individual professionals, and they often find it challenging to engage their “audience” — whether they’re a business owner trying to reach out to customers, a careerist trying to impress their bosses for a raise, or program leader working to earn donations for a worthy cause. Our clients often experience a frustrating disconnect between what their unique value really is and how others perceive it -- and so their audiences aren't taking the action our clients desire.

As specialists in Business Storytelling, what we do is help our clients shape and communicate authentic and compelling narratives that truly connect with the people who matter to them. We teach them to sell the idea they are driven to champion by selling the story behind that cause.

Neuroscientifically, the parts of our brains that are lit up during a story are also where feelings of trust, loyalty, and hope are activated. If you know how to reach people at an emotional level, you’ll activate trust, hope, and loyalty for your brand. Well crafted and well-told stories are what move your audience to take action. People want memorable experiences, and the experience of stories call them to a deeper level of caring & investment in you.  People who care take the positive action you want them to.    

With a focus on Sales Enablement thru Business Storytelling, we offer custom-tailored services including Sales and Communications Training, Brand Audits, Online Social Selling Lessons, Video Media Creation, Copywriting, PR Issue Response, SEO, Digital Content Optimization, Google Analytics Implementation, Personal Branding Coaching, and more — from simple one-time projects to continuing retainers.

I fell in love with a problem — the chasm between new and established players in the creator economy:

52% make <$10k/yr. Only 1% hit $500k/yr.

Solving that problem is my mission — to help solopreneurs, freelancers, coaches, course creators, and consultants build their bridge across the income chasm.

👋 I'm Mike — growth marketer, weightlifter, content creator.

I've used marketing to grow revenue for large and small businesses for the better part of 2 decades. Now I'm on a mission to help you grow stronger revenue too.

📉 Many players in the creator economy build large followings through a creator motion, yet they continue to see their revenue underperform.

How you position your brand and go to market with your offer is the key to exceeding the average. That’s the power of marketing.

👉 I make marketing make sense for the creator economy — in 3 ways:

1. Content that connects the dots between enterprise growth strategies and the creator economy.

2. Community that brings creators together to collaborate, lift one another up, and grow stronger together.

3. Coaching that helps you break your limits and grow reliable revenue through strong and simple marketing.

(Don't take my word for it. Take a look at my recommendation section.)

💪 #MarketingMuscle began as my personal brand hashtag, but it grew into a business.

Through years of creating content and engaging with other players in the creator economy, I found the niche of helping online entrepreneurs develop marketing skills and a growth mindset.

📈 My vision is the democratization of success through the creator economy. With the right mindset and marketing, you can cross the income chasm and achieve financial success on your own terms.

Always be growing,
—Mike

Global Sales Enablement Manager

Crafting Sales Enablement Systems 📈 Turning Inconsistent Sales Execution into Scalable Success | Mindfulness & Emotional Intelligence in Sales | MEDDPICC Certified | ICF Business Coach | Meditation Teacher 🧘🏽‍♂️

Do you understand what “enablement” truly means and the value it can bring?

Ciao, I’m Federico 👋

Enablement isn’t just a function, strategy, or process.

It’s a mindset and a discipline that transforms how organisations empower customer-facing teams, support buyers, and align for growth.

Yet, too often, it’s misunderstood – boxed into narrow tasks like:

“Training delivery.”
“Content creation.”
“Sales tools management.”

But here’s the truth👇

Enablement exists to empower customer-facing teams to achieve meaningful business outcomes. 

It equips them with the training, resources, processes, support, and tools they need to produce high-quality outputs on which their job goals depend.

Enablement bridges the gap between potential and performance, providing a certain set of “means” for someone to achieve something.

Over the years, I’ve seen organisations invest heavily in enablement initiatives that fail to stick.

I know because I’ve made those mistakes too.

Early in my career, I focused on fixing performance at the individual level, only to realise that the system itself was holding people back.

I learnt the hard way that no amount of training or resources can succeed without addressing the foundational barriers within the organisation.

That’s where I come in.

I help founders, CEOs, and revenue leaders diagnose systemic blockers to performance and empower enablement professionals to amplify their impact.

Whether you’re just starting to explore enablement or scaling an existing function, I’m here to help.

Enablement, done right, can be your organisation’s competitive edge.

If you’re ready to unlock that edge, join me on this journey: follow my content, take one of my assessments, or reach out directly.

Chief Editor & Enablement Strategist 

I am the leading creator and strategist for this blog which serves as a compass in the complex world of sales and enablement. 

Here, you will discover expert insights into tools, systems, frameworks, methodologies, and strategies to augment your capacity to nurture and upskill your sales teams.

A month ago, I went through some of the hardest days of my life.

At the end of a normal working day, I was hit by sudden vertigo.

Within hours, it spiralled into something severe.

For three days, I couldn’t get out of bed. Barely able to eat and use the bathroom because any movement triggered violent vomiting.

The week after wasn’t much better. 

Luckily, one of my best friends was with me and helped me through it.

Try to imagine this: you stare at the room, and everything spins – fast, relentlessly, for hours. 

That’s when I understood what it really means to be powerless and incapacitated.

As someone who likes control, this was the ultimate emotional test.

Those days "broke" me.
Physically.
Psychologically.
In a way nothing else ever had.

And I’ll be honest – in the first days, fear crept in intensely. 

The kind of fear where you start wondering:

What if this doesn’t pass?
What if things don’t go back to normal?
What if this is it?

Being stuck in bed with nothing to do gives you time.
Too much time, maybe.

And that’s why I’m writing this.

Because when health is suddenly at stake, clarity arrives fast.

I wasn’t thinking about achievements, accolades, LI followers, or career. 

None of that mattered.

What mattered were different questions:

Was I moving in a direction that truly fulfilled me?
Was I experiencing the process – or just moving from one thing to the next?
Was I nurturing the relationships that actually matter?
Was I present enough with my parents and friends?
Was I acting with integrity and authenticity? 

I realised – again, but much deeper – that life is just a sequence of moments.

And rushing through them has no inherent purpose.

What are we rushing for, exactly?
Time is moving anyway.
Relentlessly.
Towards the only certainty we all share. 

This doesn’t mean giving up ambition; it means finding a better pace and rhythm – one that allows us to feel more grounded, nurtured, and aligned. 

Also, when you realise how quickly things can change, you also realise there isn’t always going to be a “later”.

Some changes can’t be postponed indefinitely.
Some conversations can’t wait.
Some truths become heavier the longer we avoid them.

---

One other thing.

After the worst had passed, the first food I ate was a rice cake, a carrot, and some celery.

For the first time, I truly tasted the rice in the cake. 
I noticed how fresh the carrot was.
How the celery hydrated every corner of my mouth.

I was just... there.

---

I’ve now almost fully recovered.

In the end, it seems this was caused by a virus that inflamed one of the nerves responsible for balance. 

This experience was brutal, but also illuminating.

While I was in bed, unable to do anything, all I wanted was to feel normal again.

I yearned to walk, eat, and sit upright without the room spinning.

The smallest things suddenly felt like everything.

Sometimes it takes losing the ordinary to understand its weight.

Don’t forget to cherish it, friends.

Building Enablement Systems for Scalable Revenue Growth 📈 | Strategy, Systems Thinking, and Behavioural Design | Founder, Enablement Edge Network 🌐

Sales coaching is one of the most talked-about levers in sales performance.

And one of the least consistently executed.

Most leaders say coaching matters.
Most reps say they want more of it.

Yet in many teams, coaching ends up being:

❌ irregular
❌ reactive
❌ focused on numbers, not skills
❌ squeezed between meetings

So, the issue doesn't seem to lie in intent but in consistency and structure. 

---

The data on this is fascinating.

I went deep into 22+ recent research reports and studies focused specifically on sales coaching to extract the most decision-relevant statistics (2026 edition).

I am referring to numbers that show:

🔹 what effective coaching actually looks like
🔹 where most organisations fall short
🔹 how coaching quality links to performance
🔹 what high-performing teams do differently

...and help you answer questions like:

• How big is the real impact of coaching?
• How often should coaching actually happen?
• What do top managers focus on during coaching?
• Where do most coaching systems break down?

If you work in enablement, lead a sales team, or manage managers, this gives you:

✅ Evidence to justify investing in coaching systems
✅ Benchmarks to compare your current approach
✅ Insight into what to change first
✅ Data to move the conversation beyond “we should coach more”

Coaching should not be viewed as a standalone "tool." 

Instead, it should be an integral part of a solid performance system.

Outbound becomes ineffective when teams try to scale effort before they build a system.

More messages, more calls, more sequences… 

...but no clear decisions about who deserves effort, when it’s actually the right moment to reach out, or how outreach should run across accounts and buying groups. 

That’s when activity grows, but pipeline doesn’t.

In today's B2B market reality, strategy and system thinking must come before execution.

So in partnership with lemlist – a leading multichannel prospecting platform – I put together the ultimate step-by-step guide on how to build a repeatable outbound system.

And I distilled the whole thing into a practical one-pager you can apply with your sales organisation and teams. 

---

Here’s what the guide + one-pager cover:

1️⃣ ICP definition and account prioritisation – How to identify the accounts that actually deserve outbound effort.

2️⃣ Account tiering and effort allocation – Structuring your universe so attention matches potential value.

3️⃣ Signal-led prioritisation – Using intent, triggers, and access signals to decide when timing is right.

4️⃣ Outbound coverage and operating rhythm – Start rates, active account caps, and buying-group coverage that teams can sustain.

5️⃣ Manual vs cadence-led outreach – Knowing when to open manually and when to rely on structured sequences.

6️⃣ Personalisation governance at scale – How to distribute high, low, and zero personalisation across stakeholders deliberately.

Outbound still works.

But it only becomes predictable when you treat it as a system of decisions rather than just a sequence of activities.

In enablement interviews, knowing what to do helps.

Knowing what not to do helps even more.

Many capable candidates fail interviews because of small, repeatable mistakes they are unaware of that quietly weaken the way they come across.

Over the past few months, I spoke with and surveyed 25 enablement leaders and practitioners who have collectively sat on hundreds of interview panels (I’ll tag them in the comments).

Different companies.
Different roles.
Different seniority levels.

The patterns were remarkably consistent.

---

That’s what led me to document the 13 most common sales enablement interview mistakes as a way to make interviews clearer from both sides of the table.

What surprised me most?

These mistakes are rarely about enablement knowledge.

They’re about judgement under pressure.

They show up when candidates:

• default to abstract language instead of concrete experience,
• talk fluently but don’t ask meaningful questions
• describe activity without explaining impact
• rely on rehearsed frameworks instead of listening
• misread the role, the environment, or the dynamics in the room

In other words, the issue is almost never: “I don’t understand enablement.”

It’s usually: “I’m not sending the signal I think I’m sending.”

So I turned the insights into:

• A one-pager you can use as a pre-interview guardrail
• A full guide that breaks each mistake down into what it looks like, why it happens, and how strong candidates avoid it. 

---

💭 Which interview mistakes do you only notice after the conversation is over?

If you’d like the one-pager + full guide, drop below “interview mistakes” and I’ll share them with you.
