When I set a goal to increase my client close rate, I reached out to her Carolyn for sales and negotiation guidance. She took the time to deeply understand my business and created a tailored strategy that was both an investment and perfectly aligned with my goals. She thoroughly reviewed my sales emails, website, and asked insightful questions to gather key details. In our first session, Carolyn provided over 10 actionable strategies that helped me increase my close rate, attract more qualified leads, and refine my website messaging. She also shared some stories and personal experiences with me that helped me stand in my pricing & stick with it vs bend to lower pricing. The results of working with Carolyn have been nothing short of transformational: I've more than doubled my average client payment and am now spending far less time on unqualified leads-- now, the people who reach out to me are much more likely to buy & pay full price. Thanks to Carolyn, I've gone from struggling with keeping my business afloat to receiving payments that are larger than a two-week paycheck from my previous corporate jobs. Her strategic, calm, and warm approach has been a game-changer, and I highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking to grow their business or career. read more
