Founders Circle: Discover What’s Actually Working in Sales Right Now

Most sales advice is either outdated or written for teams you don’t have. This 30-minute real talk is for the founder still juggling everything—sales, delivery, operations—and wondering how to get ahead without burning out.

1. Modern Buyer Behavior→ Why today’s leads don’t care about your pitch—and what they do care about.
2. High-Converting Messaging→ Simple tweaks to your script, email, or DM that instantly increase replies.
3. The New Way to Follow Up→ Automate without sounding robotic + what to say when someone ghosts you.
4. How to Close Without Pressure→ The exact frameworks top closers are using to guide, not push, the sale.
5. Tools That Do the Heavy Lifting→ A quick look at how AI and CRMs are freeing up founders and sales reps.
6. Scaling Your Sales Without More Headcount→ Systems you can plug in to increase sales without hiring 3 more people.

A fast-paced breakdown of the sales strategies, messaging, and systems working right now—whether you're closing deals yourself or building a team to do it for you.

Then we’ll move into an hour of open networking—no awkward intros, just real conversations with business owners who actually get it.

If you’re looking to grow, connect, and make it worth leaving the house for—this is the room to be in.
