First, I am not your "typical sales person." I've never been able to talk my way out of a speeding ticket and in my first job review they told me I wasn't assertive enough. Yet, I can close a sale like a boss. ;)
Secondly, I have a track record for helping entrepreneurs make money (even if my philosophies go against convention. Yes, I'm a bit of a rebel like that.) I cut through strategies that do not work long-term and simplify things because I care about you not only achieving your goals, but about you being able to sustain them without burning out or sacrificing the relationships that matter most to you.
When I graduated from my MBA program, my mentor encouraged me to go into sales. He said, "Vanessa, the most valuable skill you can have in your career is to learn how to sell. It will give you the highest earning potential and it is transferable to any industry."
Did I listen to him [right away]? I wish I could say yes.
Because I associated sales with being pushy, I wanted nothing to do with it.
Fast forward several years into my career, when I had my son (I now have 3). I wanted time freedom to enjoy him.
That's when I became an entrepreneur for the first time. I invested $50,000 in a franchise that included sales training. It was the first time I experienced that sales could feel natural and easy.
I trained my staff on that sales system and we grew so quickly we were recognized as the #1 franchise out of 10,000+ franchises worldwide.
I went on to build and sell several more businesses in different industries including: a multi-million dollar high-end skincare business, a direct sales wellness business (where I achieved #2 distributor out of 43,000+ distributors worldwide), and a successful coaching/consulting business.
Each industry helped me fine tune my sales skills. Along the way, I received many requests like, "Vanessa, may I shadow you?" Or, "Do you have a doll where I can just pull the string and have have you speak on my behalf?" (haha)
I'll show you how to be the best version of YOU within this framework. I have formalize my sales system and scripts (including the inner work) and over the last 12 years I have trained over 20,000 entrepreneurs how to close with C.L.A.S.S.™
