Senior Buyer

CEO Impact Innovator | Helping Purpose Driven Entrepreneurs Scale to $1 Million, $50 Million and Beyond | Follow Me For Systems On Sustainable Growth 🌎

With over 100K + social followers, $23M+ in revenue generated for clients,

Plus  10+ years approving billion-dollar buying budgets, 

I created the only growth system built by someone who actually KNOWS what your dream buyer wants.

But here's my embarrassing confession...

In 2007: As an Impact Founder, I co-founded Sharkah Chakra

The world's first award-winning sustainable jeans brand. 

Featured in Vogue and GQ and more

Winner "Impact Brand of the Year," expanded internationally with 30 team members.

The key mistake: 

Despite knowing what made buyers approve 6,7, and 8 figure budgets, I fell into the agency dependency trap.

I spent over $150K relying on others, who couldn't capture our unique power, used generic strategies, and diluted what made us irreplaceable.

The soul-destroying result: 

Agency costs made us financially unsustainable. When economic pressure hit, funders pulled out. The business collapsed. 

The irony: 

I was paying agencies to guess what buyers wanted when I KNOW what buyers want.

The breakthrough: 

I stopped asking "What external expert should I hire?" and started asking "What would make ME approve this budget?"

That shift

From relying on external experts  to owned systems using buyer intelligence transformed everything.

My owned system results in 12 months:

$0 to $300K revenue without agencies
80K+ organic following through owned systems
Multiple 6-figure months with 40-hour weeks
Zero debt, profitable operations

For 5 years: 

I've helped leading impact founders, coaches and consultants escape agency dependency using the exact decision criteria that made me approve $100M+ in budgets.

Client results:

Rachel: Multiple 6-figures in 90 days using Category-of-One positioning

Marie & Jason: Eliminated $144K agency costs, closing deals 3x faster

Eugenie & Luis: $1M+ additional revenue in 12 months

Paula: Scaled and exited within 12 months using buyer intelligence

Alexandra: Closed biggest deal ($75K) 3 weeks after one session

Innovation Doesn’t Sell - Simplicity Does.

Let’s get honest for a second:

Innovation is hard. Not because people don’t want it, but because they don’t understand it.

After 15+ years working in product innovation and scaling purpose-driven brands, I’ve learned this:

3 Hard Truths About Innovation:

People don’t buy what they don’t get.

Breakthrough ideas often feel “too new” for comfort.

A new spin on a familiar concept? That’s where the magic happens.

Think about it:

Tesla didn’t sell “the future of mobility.”

They sold... a car.

But electric. Simple. Familiar. Revolutionary underneath.

During a visit to the Rodin Museum in Paris, I was struck by the brilliance of Dior’s newest installation.

Why?

Because Dior nailed it.

They brought back traditional Indian handwork.

But reimagined it in neon, in color, in bold modern patterns made for the Instagram age.

Old skill + new vision = viral wonder.

It reminded me why our Impact Innovators scale so fast:

Whether You’re Reinventing:

Wine (yes, we helped one brand boost sales by $1M+)

Rainforest preservation

Clean beauty

Real food

Ethical textiles

Eco packaging

E-commerce

Digital marketing

The formula stays the same:

Old world meets new thinking

Clear story

Simple delivery

= Sales + Impact

7 WAYS TO TRANSFORM INNOVATION TO $1MILLION

Why Listening Is My Superpower 🎧

For years, I believed that authentic power came from speaking more.

I thought the louder and more often I spoke, the more value I brought.
Sound familiar?

But over time, I learned something profound:

Real power doesn’t come from speaking - it comes from listening.

When we truly hear someone without rushing to respond or fill the silence, we give them the greatest gift.

And in that quiet space, we also open ourselves to learning far more than we ever could by talking.

I discovered that:

Every person has something invaluable to teach us.

The world offers endless “pearls of wisdom” if we’re willing to listen.

Filling the air with words doesn’t increase our value, it often diminishes it.

This lesson applies to life, leadership, and business.

In business, if you speak and share without deeply listening to your customers…
 …you may never truly connect with their hearts and minds.

We live in a noisy world where everyone is talking, but fewer people are being heard.

Facts are shared. Opinions are voiced. But impact is rare.

To capture hearts and minds, you must:

Listen first

Understand deeply

Then tell your real brand story, one that’s rooted in your vision, mission, and the problems your dream clients care about.

This is what I do as The Impact Strategist.

I help founders and leaders:

Listen to themselves and their dream clients.

Find clarity in their brand story.

Align their products, marketing, and sales to create organic influence and lasting impact.

My mission is simple:
Help you sell more, waste less, and build the impact you dream of. 🌍

If You Want to Create Real Impact AND Make Money 

I was recently asked:

“Sara, we spend 80% of our time innovating. Do we really need to shift gears and focus more on sales?”

My answer?

YES. 100%. Without hesitation.

If you’re truly committed to making an impact, sales isn’t optional, "it’s essential".

But not the pushy, old-school kind of sales.

I'm talking about selling with purpose.

Creating clarity, trust, and reasons for people to say yes to you.

So to help you sell smarter (not harder), I put together a free guide with my proven approach:

The 10-Step “Sell More, Waste Less” System – In Just 30 Days

Here’s a preview:

Start with a Hero Offer. Launch one every 30 days, even if it’s the same offer with a new story.

Make it look irresistible. Visuals matter. Be consistent across platforms.

Craft your 10-second pitch. Make it crystal clear why it matters.

Know your best clients. Double down on the ones who bring real value.

Let go of bad-fit customers. If they don’t value you, they’re not your people.

Stop discounting. The right audience will pay for value.

Offer smart pricing tiers. Entry, core, and premium - meet people where they are.

Tap into big communities. Partner strategically to sell with trust.

Mix digital with real life. Host 1–2 IRL and digital events monthly to build deeper engagement.

Track. Tweak. Repeat. Learn from what works and improve each cycle.

Consistency wins. Sales is a system, not a mood.

The clock is ticking…

The question is - will you lead your niche, or watch someone else take that position?

If you’re not seen as the go-to Thought Leader, you’re missing opportunities every single day.

People connect to people, not faceless companies.

One of my clients recently returned from Davos.

She’s a pioneer in her industry, but for over a decade, she lacked the clarity, game plan, and support to share her expertise with the world.

The result?

10+ years without the brand recognition her work deserved.

In just the last 30 days, we completely changed that using 7 simple systems (simple once you have the plan):

1. Unique Positioning That Resonates
 → Instantly connected with high-value partners in Davos.

2. One Clear Growth Game Plan
 → Entire team aligned, founder freed from daily bottlenecks.

3. Specific Growth Goals for Every Team Member
 → Acquisition team grew from 1 to 10 in under a month.

4. Growth & Impact Mindset Shift
 → 10X more meetings, 10X better results.

5. Ideal Avatar Clarity
 → 90% less time wasted on wrong leads; team morale and sales soared.

6. Unified Marketing Channels
 → 90% less content creation time, sharper focus, stronger community growth.

7. Founder-Led Social Presence
 → Clear, impactful communication online and on the Davos stage.

One of her team members told me last week:

“I can’t believe how much we’ve achieved in just 30 days.”

If you’re done with confusion and complexity…

And ready for a clear, simple system to grow and scale sustainably

7 Ways to build thought leadership in 30 days

One Universal Way to Sell More and Waste Less, No Matter Where You Live

Yesterday, someone asked me:

"Is it really possible to sell more and waste less, no matter what country you're in?"

My answer? Absolutely, YES.

I live in London, have traveled to over 50 countries, and our Impact Innovator Mastermind now includes clients from 12+ countries. 

One thing is clear:

No matter where you are or what you're selling, the core principles for scaling impact and reducing waste are the same.

The Game Has Changed

People aren’t looking for just another:

Beauty brand

Chocolate bar

Fashion collection

Textile innovation

Organic food

Or artisanal drink

What they truly want is:

A Unique Hero Offer with clear, tangible benefits, and

A sense of belonging a Tribe, Community, or Movement they can identify with.

What That Means for You

There may be hundreds or even thousands of brands in your niche.

But the real difference lies in shared values.

Your Dream Clients don’t just live next door or down the street.

They’re local, digital, and global, and they’re all connected.

You don’t need to market differently for different people.

You need to connect authentically as One People, united by purpose.

The Secret? Clarity.

You could spend years trying to sell to the wrong people.

Or, you could spend just 30 days getting crystal-clear on your Dream Client Avatar.

These are the people who:

Align with your values

Truly benefit from your offer

Want to be part of what you stand for

Once you know who they are, everything changes.

You sell more. You waste less.

And most importantly, you build lasting impact.

Ready to Lead with Clarity?

If you're serious about growing your movement, scaling profitably, and creating purpose-led change…

The Hardest Lesson I Learned as a Founder?

- Don’t try to do it all alone.

- And never hire without a proven system.

For almost 10 years, I tried to figure everything out by myself without mentorship, without structure, without guidance.

The result?

I hired people who knew less than I did. Instead of being supported, I ended up training them.

Maybe you can relate?

As founders, we’re forced to wear all the hats - sales, marketing, branding, leadership. And when we don’t understand the systems behind these, mistakes get very expensive.

In my case, I wasted over $100K on:

- Teams I had to train myself

-  Agencies that overpromised and underdelivered

And eventually, I ran out of money.

It took me another three years to discover the systems I wish I had known from the beginning, systems that drive real, sustainable growth in:

1. Positioning

2. Product Offer

3. Sales

4. Marketing

5. Branding

6. Thought Leadership

Because here’s the truth: when your strategy isn’t aligned, your team isn’t aligned. And when your team isn’t aligned, your business can’t scale.

The game-changer? Finding mentorship and proven frameworks. It completely shifted how I grew my business and how my clients grow theirs.

If you’re ready to build a business that scales with clarity and impact, let’s connect.

Why Most Founders Struggle to Scale (and How to Stop Being the Bottleneck)

A few days ago, I took a conscious leadership assessment.

The result?

I scored high on control issues. In other words, I’m a classic founder who finds it hard to let go.

Sound familiar?

The biggest barrier to scaling isn’t finding more clients.

It’s trusting your team to sell without you.

This is called the Rainmaker Problem when the founder is the only one bringing in sales.

And yes, years ago this used to be my reality too.

But today, my business runs differently.

Because I built a system where my team knows how to sell, market, and close even when I’m not in the room.

- Social media campaigns keep running

- DMs turn into real sales conversations

- Partnerships and our website bring in qualified leads daily

The real shift started with my mindset. A book that deeply helped me was Letting Go by Dr. David R. Hawkins. It taught me how to release control over things (and people) that were slowing me down.

From there, I created what I now call the Sustainable Growth System, a framework that empowers founders to build sales systems that scale beyond themselves.

Here are 7 ways you can start letting go and still grow:

1. Align your entire company around one Hero Offer and a clear game plan.

2. Share that plan openly with your team — co-create, don’t dictate.

3. Train everyone on a simple, memorable brand story (10-second intro + 1-minute pitch).

4. Make sure your team deeply understands the problems your offer solves and the benefits it delivers.

5. Let each team member connect personally to your offer — when it matters to them, it matters to the client.

6. Encourage daily client outreach via DMs — consistent action compounds.

7. Align all marketing (socials, website, emails) to spotlight the problems you solve and the benefits you provide.

Because here’s the reality:

- Clarity creates conversations.

- Benefits close deals.

- Sales create impact.

The more you empower your team, the more your company can grow without you being the bottleneck.

6 Principles I Live By To Feel JOY Every Single Day

1. Trust Yourself

It took me more than 30 years to really learn this one.

I used to doubt my instincts and second-guess myself, which led to poor decisions.

But the moment I started trusting my inner voice, everything shifted. My choices became faster, clearer, and more aligned.

Does doubt still show up? Of course. 

And that’s okay - doubt can be healthy. It keeps us sharp. But I don’t let it control me, because I’ve built my second principle…

2. Surround Yourself With Smart, Inspiring People

When I trusted myself, I became more intentional about who I allowed into my world.

I chose to connect only with people who were brilliant, kind, and full of energy.

And I discovered something powerful: when you surround yourself with the right people, their wisdom becomes part of your own.

3. Listen More Than You Speak

This one humbled me. For a long time, I thought I knew a lot. But listening taught me how little I actually knew.

Everyone carries a unique story, a powerful lesson, or a fresh perspective.

By listening, I’ve opened myself up to new ideas, better solutions, and deeper human connections.

4. Use Systems As Your Guide

Listening is important, but direction is essential.

That’s where systems come in. Systems give us structure, consistency, and measurable results.

I learn from people who have proven systems, adapt them, and build them into my own framework for growth in life and business.

5. Balance Planning With Action

Planning without execution is just daydreaming.

That’s why I balance both every day. My team and I start with a 30-minute huddle what’s working, what’s not, and where we’re headed. 

Then, we move into action for the rest of the day.

Small, consistent action creates momentum. And momentum creates breakthroughs.

6. Celebrate Wins Daily

This was the game-changer.

For years, I delayed celebrating my progress, waiting for a “big moment” that never came.

Now I celebrate every win, no matter how small. Every action, every impact, every step forward deserves recognition.

Celebrating daily has built my confidence, my faith, and my joy.

The truth is: the world doesn’t need us to wait. It needs our creativity, our innovation, and our impact now.

Talks about #impact, #entrepreneurship, #productinnovation, #businessinnovation, and #businessmentorship

Why most founders struggle to scale (and what I did to help a $1B retailer unlock $25M in just 12 months)

When I stepped into this company, they weren’t failing because of a lack of talent, resources, or ambition.

They were failing because they had lost their clarity.

Clarity is the invisible fuel that drives sales, energizes teams, and gives customers a reason to stay loyal. 

Without it, you become just another option in the market.

Here’s what I helped them do differently 👇

1. Choose to stand for something.

Trying to please everyone is the fastest way to fade into the background. People are drawn to leaders and brands with a clear, sharp identity.

2. Focus beats more.

Instead of chasing new product after product, we cut back. We doubled down on the few things that created the most impact. That shift alone unlocked consistent new revenue month after month.

3. Trust your perspective.

Founders underestimate how powerful their own beliefs are. Customers don’t just buy a product; they buy into conviction. Working with the right sounding board helps refine that conviction into a clear, sellable message.

4. Align the team.

I asked every single employee to tell me the company's mission in one sentence. The answers didn’t match. That gap was costing them millions. When everyone rallied around one simple, personal mission, momentum skyrocketed.

5. Build a Hero Offer.

We stripped away the noise and simplified their value into one powerful flagship offer. Easy to explain. Easy to sell. Impossible to ignore.

6. Learn the 5-second rule.

You only have five seconds to grab attention. That means sharp messaging, clear benefits, and visuals that cut through the noise.

7. Get outside perspective.

Sometimes you can’t see the blockages when you’re inside the business. That’s where strategy calls like the one I offer to founders come in, we uncover blind spots and design a clear path to rapid growth.

The result? $25M added to the bottom line in just a year.
