MEET YOUR NEW SALES MENTOR
I BELIEVE THAT SALES SHOULD BE FUN,
ETHICAL AND PROFITABLE
Before starting my own business, I spent a decade in sales working for 3 Fortune 500’s (yep! nearly 25,000 sales conversations and 2,100 sales presentations!), I found myself looking for a way to impact 1,000s of businesses.
I went on to open and run a Toastmasters Club that helped high-achieving professionals master their messaging to easily gain new clients.
I said goodbye to the stability of the 9-5 to jump feet first into the wild ride of entrepreneurship.
Now as a business owner and the creator the Sales Success Lounge™ , Sales Success Lab™, and the Startup Sales Leadership Academy™, I have taught 1,000+ of online brands and startups to create and sell premium products by mastering sales skills and then building sales teams from the ground up.
My signature FREEDOM Framework™ helps coaches, consultants, speakers, agencies, brick and mortar service providers, and professional service providers create, implement and scale a stress-free rinse-and-repeat sales system while freeing up more and more time to do the things they love.
In 2024, I’m proud to report helping our client, The Wiser Agency, hit #1686 on the Inc 5000 with a 300% 3-Year Growth.
Working with me means falling in love with selling, enjoying visibility, and building a raving fan-client culture in your business.
I can’t wait to meet you!
WHAT THEY SAY:
"Working with Michelle has transformed
my business"
It has given me confidence and enabled me to make money doing what I love!
