Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been doing what you do, and how did you become the Breakthrough Selling Strategist?
After surviving breast cancer in 1993, I turned my journey of recovery into a positive life-altering experience that transformed my life forever. I then left the corporate world to pursue my dreams of helping entrepreneurs follow their dreams and goals. I took the lessons I had learned that had turned my life around and, together with my 24 years of sales experience, created a thriving coaching and training business.

I became known as the Breakthrough Selling Strategist after I decided to show others how to achieve breakthrough results in their businesses and lives. By combining my life-altering experience with my sales expertise, I give entrepreneurs the tools to go beyond what’s predictable to achieve success. I have created several programs teaching business owners, entrepreneurs, and sales professionals how to sell successfully.

How do I know your sales system will work for me?
Maybe this will sound familiar to you, and it happens every day: a business owner, Mary, comes to me, worried that she won’t bring in the number of clients she needs. She is frustrated in her business and doesn’t know what to do to attract clients. Using the sales system I created and weekly coaching to stay on track, I show Mary exactly what she needs to do, and she does it, closing more sales and increasing her income—consistently. In fact, she has her best sales year ever.

I’ve seen these amazing results happen over and over again. My clients close more sales than they thought possible. So can you.

Who are your business coaching clients?
I work with professional business owners from all backgrounds who are good at what they do but have never been taught how to sell and, at the same time, be themselves. They may be passionate about their product or service but were never shown a sales system that works. I teach a nine-step proven sales process that will show you exactly what you need to do to consistently attract clients, reach your sales quota, and make more money, no matter your industry.

What happens if you haven’t yet worked with people in my field?
I’ve worked with hundreds of people, so it’s very likely that I’ve worked within your field. If I haven’t, no need to be concerned—as a sales expert, I’ll be teaching you how to thrive with a proven sales system.

After 20+ years of successfully selling countless products and services in record numbers, I know what will work for you. You’ll reach a new level of selling and learn an entirely new and refreshing approach. In a very short time, you’ll close more sales and make more money quicker than ever before.

How are you different from other sales coaches?
I am not just a sales coach; I am your breakthrough selling strategist. My specialty is working with business owners and sales professionals who are hungry and eager to learn how to increase sales and grow business. I may also help you in other areas that will support your sales success, such as setting business goals, developing sales and marketing strategies, managing your time, moving through barriers, and creating an action plan.

First, I’ll learn about you and what you sell, how you are currently selling, and what your challenges are. I’ll teach you exactly what you need to do to close more sales, and I’ll be there for you every step of the way. Soon after we start working together and you start breakthrough selling, you’ll see for yourself how quickly you start closing more sales.

What type of personality do you work best with, and what is expected of me?
I created the Sales Breakthrough System™ for people who are eager to get going, hungry to succeed, and serious about making more money. I call it the Sales Breakthrough System™ because if you follow all the steps I show you, you’ll achieve amazing sales breakthroughs in a short period of time.

With this breakthrough selling system, you’ll eliminate all the frustration, struggle, and fear you may be having about selling. What I do know is, if you commit yourself to the program, do the assignments, and follow the steps consistently, the results will follow in record time.

What type of professional is this program NOT going to work well for?
Just as you’re careful about selecting the business coach you work with, I too am careful about selecting the people I work with. In order to achieve breakthrough selling results, you must be ready, willing, and able to do the work.

When people have serious financial concerns, such as little or no money coming in, it’s probably not the best time to work with me. They’re more concerned about resolving the immediate issue than doing the required work to create results. If this is the case for you, don’t worry. We’ve all been in that place, and I have some recommendations that can help you.

  • Subscribe to my free newsletter, Inner Game of Sales, and you’ll receive monthly tips that will help you close more sales until you’re ready to work with me. Once you start applying the strategies I share in my newsletter to your business and money starts coming in, you’ll feel much better and be ready to work with me one-on-one.
  • Enroll in my upcoming Breakthrough Teleclasses where you’ll learn valuable sales tips and more about my sales process. The class fee is very cost-effective. This is another great sales tool to help you until you’re ready to work with me.
  • Consider a home-study program that will get you started quickly and easily on the path to attracting clients.

Once you’ve taken these steps, you’ll have an understanding of the breakthrough selling system and will be more prepared for one-on-one sales coaching. I’m here for you when you need me.

In addition to those facing a pressing financial situation, I do not work well with people who are negative, skeptical, or resistant to doing the work. They usually come up with excuses week after week for not doing the assignments and then question why they’re not reaching their goals. If you fall into this category, I don’t believe I can help you.

I truly don’t like to turn anyone away; however, I’ve seen over and over again that the clients who come to me prepared, eager, and ready to learn get the best results.

How quickly does the Sales Breakthrough System work?
You have to get out there and meet with as many prospects as you can. Normally, it takes two to three years before you start to see the money you want to make. But with my system, you will increase sales in the shortest time possible—certainly in much less time than if you keep doing what you’re doing now. It’s all up to you.

What results can I expect?
You can expect to learn how to . . .

  • Close more sales, attract more clients, and still be YOU.
  • Eliminate any fears and beliefs you have about selling and create a powerful sales mindset.
  • Differentiate yourself from your competition.
  • Create an action plan that produces breakthrough sales results.
  • Fill your pipeline with people who want to buy from you.
  • Create a compelling statement for getting the appointment.
  • Develop powerful scripts that get you in the door.
  • Design and deliver a persuasive sales presentation with confidence, conviction, and ease.
  • Ask qualifying questions that help you to determine if the prospect is ready to buy, and actively listen to the prospect so he or she feels heard and understood.
  • Uncover the hidden issues really driving the prospect to buy while overcoming objections.
  • Ask for the business with confidence and ease.
  • Design and implement effective follow-up and referral systems.

Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we accept credit cards. My first preference is MasterCard or Visa; however, we also accept American Express.

Can I contact some of your former clients to see what it’s like working with you?
Yes, absolutely. Please go to the Success Stories page (link to testimonials). You’re welcome to call any of my clients listed. They would be happy to speak to you.

How can I guarantee that I will close more business in record time?
If you do the assignments, take the sales coaching, and focus on your sales goals, you’ll start seeing sales results much faster than doing it on your own. If you follow the process and are committed to learning all the steps of the system, you’ll have the sales success you want.

The amount of time it takes to see the results you want can vary. It depends on what you want to accomplish and how great your desire is to get there. All my business coaching clients who have diligently followed the Sales Breakthrough System™ are delighted with the amount of business they’re now closing, and it happened in a much shorter time than if they were doing it on their own.

Will I recover the investment I put into this business coaching program?
Yes, you definitely will. With just one new client, you’ll not only recoup your sales coaching investment, but it’s also likely that same client will be worth a lot more in revenue to you over time.

In addition, when you learn and start implementing all the steps of the Sales Breakthrough System™, you’ll meet many more prospects and close more sales, and that all leads to reaching your sales quota and making more money.

What are my options?
You have four different success program options depending on what you’re interested in accomplishing.
