READ THIS FIRST: 

I don’t teach pressure, convincing, or chasing. 
If that’s what you want, I’m not your guy.

Let’s be real…

If sales makes you sweat, stall, or want to disappear into a cave—you’re not broken. 

You’re just not wired for boiler room tactics.

I help entrepreneurs who hate selling...stop hating it.

No fake urgency. No pushy scripts. No pretending to be someone you’re not.

I grew my first agency from a basement to $5M+ using zero cold calls. 

Then tripled the market value of an insurance brokerage by teaching the team how to sell like humans, not robots.

In my spare time, I coach founders and solo business owners how to get more yes’s—without chasing, begging, or burning out.

Nobody’s reading your 9-paragraph confession. 

You get 60 words to make their brain itch… after that, your email’s not outreach, it’s a eulogy.

Entrepreneurs and Founders...

If you need to follow up 9 times, you don’t have a buyer.

You have a hostage. 

If selling feels like a hamster wheel, you’re not growing a business.

You’re doing cardio for strangers. 🥵

Here’s the insanity loop most founders get stuck in 
👇

→ Make a call
→ Hope you don’t get hung up on
→ Force fake small talk about the weather
→ Ask 1–2 weak softball questions
→ Get grilled for free advice
→ Vomit answers to feel smart
→ Then cave in and put all the vomit in writing
→ Log it in as a “lead” (when it's really a "lie")
→ Call
→ Chase
→ Chase more
→ Borderline stalk
→ Convince yourself it’s “relationship building”
→ Hope
 → Pray
 →Repeat

*No thanks.*

That’s how good humans start to hate selling.

It drains your dignity. 

It trains prospects to see you as a vending machine.

Here’s the (un)Selling path instead:

👉 Connect only with people who are highly likely to have the pain you solve

👉 Drop an illumination hook that joins a secret conversation going on in their head so clearly they flinch a little

👉 Tease a hypothesis of how you solved that problem for people like them and then poke the bear a little

👉 Make it clear that this isn't for everyone -  invite them to say 'no' - and declare you might say 'no' also. 

👉 If the pain is real and the stakes are high enough, then continue

👉 Decide next step: Nurture, Continue, or Run like hell. 

No chasing. No weirdness. 

Doing less, Getting more.

P.S. Full disclosure: (un)selling is 411 pages. It won’t fit in a stocking unless you upgrade your fireplace, but it's still on Amazon and hated by delivery drivers globally. https://geni.us/unselling

Our Dog Bella. 

Cute to Cujo in seconds.

Desperately trying to inhale one pasta strand is every needy salesperson ever.

Pawing. Lunging. Eyes locked on the noodle like rent is due.

That’s how those 'fast closes' and empty "checking in" and "circling back" attempts feel to the prospect.

Prospects smell the hunger.

And they pull back.

Calm sellers don’t worship one noodle.

They make more pasta.

An abundance mindset. 

Detach from the outcome.

The Sales Coach for Consultants | Author - Feel Good About Selling | Founder, Consulting Academy

As a consultant you have an incredible skill set, but selling may not be your favorite thing. Perhaps you struggle to win new clients, or don't know how to attract them to begin with. This is frustrating. 

To make matters worse, you're likely inundated with promises from "gurus" filled with questionable sales tactics, spammy approaches, and outright deception. 

Building a sustainable consulting practice and fostering a trustworthy reputation demands a different selling approach.

Rather than off-putting tactics, effective sales boils down to four essential elements: a crystal-clear message, the right offer, your ideal audience, and a reliable system for consistent execution. 

This is what drives real growth, long-term for consultants.

like the trusted advisor you are.

To your success,
