Sales That Don't Suck Expert | Taking the Cringe & Obnoxious Out of Sales for DFY Service Providers & Beyond | Sales Strategist, Coach & Keynote Speaker

Why can't your sales reps sell like you? Because you haven't documented or systemized your sales approach. 

I work with companies $1M - $10M and double their revenue by building your own Signature Fit Sales System. 

Here’s what I usually hear before working together: 
👉 No one seems to be able to sell like me
👉 We’ve tried sales training and hiring ‘experienced reps’ - they still can't sell as well as me
👉 We've tried hiring VP of sales and it didn't work
👉 If sales were just predictable - we would be golden

If this sounds familiar - your reps and VP hire aren’t the problem.Your product isn’t too complex.

You just don’t have your own Signature Fit Sales System that creates repeatable success. 

One designed for how YOUR buyers buy — or for how YOUR team sells. 

That’s where Black Sheep Sales comes in:
👏 No AI cold outreach that prospects ignore 
👏 No generic, douchebag sales scripts and training
👏 No tired sales advice like “smile and dial”

Instead, we extract your process from your brain, document it, organize it, optimize it - and train your reps to successfully run it without you involved. 

This creates results like:
✨ Sellers getting ramped up and performing in under 30 days
✨ Sales regularly closing at 50%+ without you getting involved 
✨ High quality leads who are disarmed, warm and excited to buy

So, the bad news is: 
✅ Sales skepticism is at an all time high
 ✅ Traditional sales strategies are less effective than ever 
✅ Sales team turnover is 3x other departments (and costs at least $100k every time it happens)

The good news is:
🔥 50-70% of lost deals are actually winnable.
🔥 The bar has never been lower to stand out in sales.
🔥 You’re one custom built playbook away from repeatable sales without you required 

For people who want to stop burning cash on hires that don’t work out — and build a team that sells confidently without them - DM me or book a call in my featured section.

We’re moving our little family to Spain this June.

I was in my kitchen talking about how much I missed traveling since having little kids and someone I really trust asked me: 

“What would 80-year-old you, on her deathbed, tell you to do?”

That question rang me like a bell. 

I didn’t need time to think. The answer was instant.

Travel now - WITH the kids.

That was the beginning of this decision because once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.

I couldn’t unfeel how living in America feels like:

👉 A nervous system always on high alert
👉Scanning public situations for shooters 
👉Saying things like “what a blur - how is it already [insert month]?”
👉Watching our kids do active shooter drills and pretending it’s fine
👉Working all week only to spend weekends doing chores and errands
👉Making great money and still feeling like we’re only treading water 
👉Paying $18K a year for healthcare while still not being meaningfully protected
👉 Eating in my car more than I care to admit (a sin in Spain!)

That’s not just “life with kids.” 

That’s a system that feels wildly out of alignment to me. 

There’s got to be a better way. 

So for now - we’re choosing:
✨A slower pace
✨Beauty and adventure
✨Nervous systems that can breathe
✨ Language, culture, and perspective
✨Spaciousness to be with our kids while they’re still kids
✨A season of life built on intention, not survival

And who knows - we might hate it and come back ASAP.

But I’ve learned: if you wait to get it perfectly right, you might never do it.

So we’re willing to be wrong.

Either way, it’ll be an adventure we grow from.

If your 80-year-old self whispered a truth to you - what might it be?

I don’t care what anyone tells you; sales should NOT feel uncomfortable, for you or your prospects. Practice isn’t going to change that. 

You can feel calm, confident, and comfortable on sales calls - if you have a customized framework in place that works for YOU. Bespoke to your personality, prospects, and professional service. 

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to selling. Let’s face it, one-size-fits-all rarely equates to quality results. 

MY PROMISE: If you have at least 1 quality sales meeting a week - I will guarantee to double your investment with a sales framework custom made for you that allows you to close on your FIRST call (it has for all my clients).

Sounds like a bold claim, doesn’t it? But I can prove it with the 100+ people I’ve helped successfully sell on their first call - and 80% of their calls after that.

If this is you: 
- Selling a DFY (done-for-you) service
- At least 1 sales call per week 

Then we will:
- 2x your sales at a minimum - it’s actually guaranteed 
- Immediately start converting up to 80% of your sales meetings with a collaboratively created custom-to-you sales framework 
- Duplicate yourself by perfecting your new sales strategy over 6 months so you can hand it to anyone and see the same results 

If you’re not already convinced that I can supersize your sales, here’s what some of my clients had to say:

“Your process is so radically different from what anyone else teaches and I love it and I want to shout it from the rooftops. We’ve gone from a 50% close rate to a 100% close rate!” Michael Annese, co-founder of Potentia

“From 10% closer, to 50%-70% closer.  Business was $15k - $20k per month and now we’ve just had our first 6 figure month - $180k collected! - Neal Thakkar, Evolvere Founder

I cried and laughed while recording this. 

The Black Sheep Sales: How to win more sales without acting like a douchebag audiobook is officially live 🥳

This is the book people told me they read in one sitting.

The one they gifted to their entire sales team.

The one they finally felt seen by - because it was built for people who care deeply and refuse to sell with manipulation. 

It took me 15+ years to build - and a lifetime of being the “too much one.”

Too blunt. Too sensitive. Too unwilling to play the game. 

Turns out… that was the gift.

Because this book is about more than sales. 

It’s about doing business without becoming someone you hate.

It’s for the people who are great at what they do - but dread sales because most advice feels so grossly out of alignment.  

It’s for the business owners who want a top performing sales team without sacrificing integrity. 

It’s been called a top recommended book for business owners in 2025.

And it was also called “the first sales book that spoke directly to my heart.”

Which is a pretty cool combo.

Now you can listen to it while walking, driving, or hiding from your inbox.

In 2026 — Black Sheep energy is needed more than ever.

Because nothing better ever gets built by doing things the way they’ve always been done.

It starts with seeing what others overlook.

Challenging the status quo in the name of progress, not drama.

Refusing to lower your standards just to make things easier.

Staying rooted when the world tries to make you doubt yourself.

Honoring your alignment over other’s approval.

It means trusting your gift.

Trusting your gut.

Trusting your discernment — even when others don't see it...yet.

Because when you innovate from that place - that is when the real magic happens.

Big heart, big ideas and big black sheep energy.  

Cheers to a New Year better than the last - full of magic 🥂

I found my first gray hair at 28.

I asked my coworker, “Is this blonde or gray?”

She didn’t even hesitate.

“Nah girl, that sh*t’s gray.” 🤣

Now my hair is over 50% silver.

And after 24 years of blond highlights, I’m done dyeing it.

I’m scared to calculate the hours I’ve spent in a chair or the money I’ve spent trying to look like a more acceptable version of me. 🫣

I earned every strand of this gray.

Plus, I feel like silver hair has this ethereal, witchy, wise-woman energy.


And the kids are out here paying for what I’ve got naturally soooo....

Like any Black Sheep, I’m not trying to stand out. 

I’m just finally ready to stop hiding what already does. 

A younger looking face with silver hair doesn’t need covering. 

It’s time to start owning it. 

So, consider this my coming out post - silver edition 🖤🩶

The wrong client will cost you more than the deal is worth. Fit matters more than volume.

Before: 53% said straight up no. 15% said not now.

That’s what most people were saying before working with this financial advisor. ☹️

And the few who said yes picked her lowest-ticket offer - hourly. 

After: 70% say yes. 🥳

They’re choosing long-term planning and assets under management services. Hourly is the outlier.

Clients move forward faster - her sales cycle is now a third of what it used to be.

Her average sale per household is up $3,000. 

That number compounds every year because as a financial advisor, these are clients who stay for decades.

AND she raised her rates and kept 90% of her existing clients with the strategy we put together.

Here’s how we did it: 
👉 Removed the pitch deck from the convo
👉 Stopped mixing education and sales in the same conversation which confused buyers and delayed decisions.
👉Built a pre-call education process prospects loved
👉 Clarified her ideal client and her anti-client.
👉 Identified and named her differentiators in a way that made value obvious without listing deliverables
👉Eliminated the overwhelm that used to delay or kill sale
👉Positioned her clearly as worth more than the average advisor - and showed why

Sales isn’t just the conversation. It’s everything that leads to it and everything that comes afterward. 

Messaging, positioning, offer, clarity. That’s the system.

And it has to be custom-built for you - not copied from the last person it worked for.

“You can’t blend business and music — they don’t fit together.”

So, Michael King, said “hold my beer” and created something new and incredible.

Then wrote, sang, played, and produced an entire song with a mini keynote INSIDE of it.

It breaks every rule - and somehow leaves you saying “how has no one done this before?”

This isn’t only branding. It’s courage.

By ignoring the “rules” and haters, he was able to innovate.

It’s not just impressive. It’s powerful. 

Proud to share this beautiful Black Sheep creation from someone who doesn’t just talk about doing things differently — he does the damn thing. 

And shows us the kind of genius that thrives when you stop following the crowd 🖤

Keynote Speaker and highly sought-after Executive & Business Teams Coaches. I help top execs, coaches, and brands break records with systems, strategy, and stronger teams that turn vision into execution.

🎬Unbreakable Things is live now.

Have you ever felt, even for a moment, that you were not enough?

That question has followed me through leadership, pressure, failure, and rebuilding. Unbreakable Things was born from that space. From the realization that resilience is not about avoiding the cracks, but learning how to stand in them.

This film is deeply personal. My son, Emerson, steps into the story as the younger version of me. A reminder that strength is formed long before titles, stages, or applause.

Unbreakable Things is live now.

If this question has ever found you, this film is for you.

How did American healthcare get so broken — and what can we actually do about it?

In this episode of the Black Sheep Network, I talk with healthcare business expert Jennifer Gligoric about how we got here.

The simple answer is money (of course).  

The complicated answer is longer but more importantly - Jennifer shares alternatives that let you take back control of your care, your costs, and your choices.

My little family is done paying $18,000 a year for a system that still makes us pay $10k out of pocket and burns out the doctors inside it.. 

We’re switching — and saving.

This isn’t a conspiracy rant.

It’s a path forward.

If you’re ready to think like a Black Sheep and take back control - the link to listen is in the comments.

Hot take. Not every sales call should end in a yes.
Sometimes the smartest move is walking away.
