Build a Sales & Marketing System That Actually Works
Effective at generating leads. Consistent enough to maintain. Sustainable around client delivery. Tailored to your business. Built together at your pace.
Right now you're probably doing random things. LinkedIn post when you remember. Networking event when you have time. Hoping referrals appear. Maybe you've hired a business coach who gave you frameworks you couldn't implement. Maybe you've talked to mentors who shared stories but no systems.
That's not what you need. You need both - business coaching to build systems AND mentoring from someone who's actually done it.
We build it together through business coaching and mentoring combined.
Through coaching: we develop your positioning, build your systems, create repeatable processes. Through mentoring: I share what I learned building three businesses so you avoid my mistakes. Through custom research: you get industry-specific insights. Through AI capability transfer: you gain lasting competitive advantage.

Your Custom System
(Five Components We Build)
Every system includes these five components, tailored to your business and built at your pace. Each one builds on the previous, creating a complete approach to business development that actually fits how you work.
Strategic Clarity
(We Figure This Out Together)
This is the coaching foundation - structured conversations that create clarity.
Who are you actually for? What genuinely makes you different? How do you communicate value naturally?
These aren't trick questions - but they're nearly impossible to answer when you're doing it alone.
We work through them together. Through coaching conversations that help you see what you can't see yourself because you're too close to it.
I remember trying to write my positioning when I started my first business. Spent three months staring at blank pages. Know why? Because I was doing it alone, hoping the right words would magically appear. They didn't.
That's why we do this together. You bring expertise in your craft. I bring perspective from building businesses and working with dozens of clients. Together we figure out what makes you different in ways that actually matter to prospects.
Not through frameworks you have to adapt - that's where most coaching fails. Through conversations. Questions. Exploring what works and what doesn't. Testing language. Refining until it feels obvious.
This is the foundation. Without clarity here, everything else is guesswork. Once we have it, everything else gets easier. Your lead generation becomes more targeted. Your sales conversations become more confident. Your pricing becomes clearer.
Custom Industry Research
(AI Does the Heavy Lifting)
Once we've agreed to work together and aligned on goals, I research your specific industry before our kickoff session. This isn't generic business research - it's deep competitive intelligence tailored to your niche.
Your competitors and how they position themselves. What successful businesses in your space are doing differently. How they message. What pricing models work. Best practices specific to your industry. Common mistakes people make. Opportunities you might be missing. Gaps in the market where you could position yourself.
This is where AI changes the game completely. What would take traditional consultants weeks of manual research - analyzing websites, studying messaging, identifying patterns - gets compressed to a few days. I can analyze multiple competitors overnight. Study positioning patterns across your industry. Identify what works and what doesn't in your specific niche.
You get a custom research report with industry-specific insights. Not generic business advice that could apply to anyone. Actual competitive intelligence tailored to your market. We review it together in our kickoff session. We talk through what resonates, what doesn't, where you see yourself fitting. Your expertise plus industry insights equals your custom strategy.
And here's the thing: most of your competitors aren't doing this research systematically. They're guessing based on what they think might work or copying what they see others doing. You won't be. You'll know what works in your space because we've researched it.
That's competitive advantage before we even start building systems.
Lead Generation That Works (Built One Step at a Time)
We build one lead generation system first. Usually LinkedIn positioning and targeted outreach, not because it's trendy, but because your clients are there actively looking for expertise. They're searching for solutions you provide.
The question is: when they find you, do you look like everyone else saying generic things, or does your positioning make them think "This person actually gets my situation"?
That's what we build. Not random posting when you remember. A system. Clear content strategy that establishes authority in your niche. Outreach approach that feels authentic to how you naturally communicate, not pushy scripts that make you uncomfortable. Consistent activities you can actually maintain around client delivery, not ambitious plans you'll abandon after three weeks.
We test it. See what resonates with your target clients. What questions they're asking. What challenges they're facing. What language they respond to. Refine based on what's working. Make it sustainable so you're not relying on bursts of motivation that fade.
Most clients start seeing qualified enquiries within weeks to a couple of months. Not hundreds of leads that waste your time - qualified prospects who understand that expertise costs money. The kind you actually want to work with. The kind who don't immediately ask "but what's your hourly rate?" because they understand value.
Then, when you're ready and have capacity, we add complementary channels. Maybe email sequences to nurture prospects. Maybe strategic partnerships in your industry. Maybe speaking or content opportunities. Whatever fits your business and your strengths. But we don't build everything at once.
One system. Working. Sustainable. Bringing you clients. Then the next. That's how systems actually get built and maintained without overwhelming you.
Sales Conversations That Feel Natural
How do you qualify prospects quickly without seeming pushy or desperate? What questions uncover real needs versus tire-kickers wasting your time? How do you demonstrate value without spending hours on proposals that go nowhere? How do you justify your pricing when someone says "that seems expensive"? How do you handle "we'll think about it" without feeling like you're begging?
We build your sales process together through both coaching and mentoring. Coaching provides the framework - structured approaches that work consistently. Mentoring provides the reality - what I learned closing millions in sales over twenty-five years, including the approaches that failed spectacularly.
AI Competitive Advantage (Speed Meets Quality)
Throughout everything, you're learning to use AI for competitive advantage across your business. Not generic tips you could find on YouTube. Specific use cases for your situation that actually save you meaningful time.
That prospect you're calling tomorrow? Research them in ten minutes instead of an hour. Company background, recent news, potential challenges they're facing, decision-making process, key people involved. All compiled fast so you walk into the conversation informed and can ask intelligent questions.
That proposal that's been sitting on your to-do list for three days because you're dreading it? Done in thirty minutes instead of consuming your entire afternoon. Tailored to their situation based on your discovery call. Professional. Persuasive. Structured in a way that makes your value clear. Ready to send.
That content you know you should create to establish authority but never have time for? Twenty minutes instead of two hours. And it still sounds like you, not generic AI nonsense, because you're prompting it properly with your insights, your examples, your perspective.
Client deliverables that usually take you hours? Accelerated. Reports that normally take a full day done in two hours. Frameworks and strategy documents. Presentations for client meetings. Documentation that usually gets pushed because there's never time. Done faster whilst maintaining or even improving quality because you have time to refine instead of rushing.
This isn't about AI replacing your expertise. It's about getting time back whilst maintaining or improving quality. Five to twelve hours back every week for most clients. That's over sixty hours a month. An entire working week and a half.
Time you can spend on business development instead of always being reactive. Better client work because you're not constantly rushed. Strategic thinking about your business. Relationships with existing clients. Or actually taking a Friday off without guilt because you've built efficiency into everything.
And here's what matters most: these capabilities keep working after we stop working together. You're not dependent on me to maintain your system. You have the skills. You know the approaches. You understand how to use these tools effectively. You can keep improving and adapting on your own.
That's lasting competitive advantage, not temporary dependency on a coach.
Investment & What You're Really Paying For
Let's talk about money honestly and directly.
The investment is £1,500 to £2,000 per month for ongoing mentoring. That includes strategic coaching sessions, custom industry research, implementation support, AI capability building, documentation and templates, and email support between sessions.
That's not cheap. I know that. But here's what you're really paying for:
You're buying back five to twelve hours every week through AI capabilities and better systems. For most business owners billing £100 to £200 per hour, that's £2,000 to £9,600 monthly value in time alone. The investment pays for itself through time savings before we even consider new clients or improved pricing.
You're building a system that keeps generating leads after we stop working together. Not knowledge that fades when the coaching ends - actual systems that keep running and bringing you qualified prospects consistently. The positioning stays. The lead generation keeps working. The AI capabilities remain.
You're getting strategic clarity that guides every decision you make. Pricing conversations become easier. Positioning becomes clear. Target client selection becomes obvious. You stop second-guessing every marketing decision.
Most clients recoup their investment through better clients and improved pricing within four to eight months. One client who stopped competing on price and started positioning on value doubled their project fees. Another who built consistent lead generation tripled their revenue over eighteen months. A third landed two clients in the first month that paid for the entire year. These aren't guarantees - your results will vary based on your industry, your implementation, your market. But they're real examples.
But honestly? The bigger value isn't even the numbers on spreadsheets. It's sleeping better at night because you know where next month's revenue is coming from. It's not panicking when you check your calendar three months out and see it's thin. It's having confidence in sales conversations instead of hoping you don't sound desperate. It's being able to focus on client delivery without constantly worrying about business development.
Is it worth it? Only you can decide that for your situation. But if you're stuck in feast-famine cycles that are exhausting you, if you're undercharging because you can't articulate your value clearly, if you're spending weekends worried about your pipeline instead of living your life - then probably yes.
We'll talk through whether it makes sense for you in our first conversation. No pressure. No manipulation. Just honest discussion about whether this investment fits your situation and goals right now.
How We Build Your System
Building a system that works takes time and collaboration. Here's how we do it without adding overwhelming pressure to your already busy life.
We start with a conversation. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just talking about where you are, what you're trying to achieve, whether my approach fits your situation. If we're not a good fit, I'll tell you straight away. No point wasting each other's time.
If we are a good fit and you want to move forward, I research your industry using AI. This takes me a few days. You don't wait around - I do this work while you're running your business. Your competitors, positioning patterns, opportunities, best practices - all researched and compiled into a custom report.
Then we have a kickoff session. We review the research together. Talk through what resonates. Figure out where you fit in the landscape. Align on objectives based on your reality, not some generic template. Map out your approach. This is when your custom programme takes shape.
After that, we build. One component at a time. Strategic clarity first - getting your positioning solid. Then lead generation system - usually LinkedIn and outreach. Then sales process - making conversations easier. Throughout, you're learning AI capabilities that accelerate everything.
Regular sessions maintain momentum. We work through decisions that come up. Build new capabilities. Solve problems as they arise. Refine what's working. Adjust what isn't. The frequency depends on what makes sense for your situation - we figure that out together based on your capacity and needs.
Between sessions, email support whenever you're stuck. Need a second opinion on positioning language? Wondering if a prospect is worth pursuing? Stuck on how to respond to an objection? Thinking through a decision? Just email. I'll get back to you.
Some weeks you'll have capacity to implement new things. Other weeks you'll be buried in client delivery and we focus on quick wins or strategic decisions. Some weeks life happens and business development takes a back seat. We adjust. No guilt. No timeline pressure. Just progress that's sustainable for your actual reality.
What you leave with: A working sales and marketing system that keeps generating leads. AI capabilities you use forever. Strategic clarity that guides every decision. Documentation so you don't have to remember everything. Five to twelve hours back every week. And real confidence in where your next client is coming from.
Many clients continue beyond the initial engagement because having external perspective consistently drives better decisions. Some move to quarterly check-ins once systems are running smoothly. Others stop when they're confident maintaining it alone. The system and capabilities last regardless of how long we work together.
Is This Right For You?
This works brilliantly for some business owners. It's completely wrong for others. Here's how to know which you are.
You're in the Right Place If:
✓ You're generating £100K-£1M+ annually but growth feels inconsistent
✓ You rely heavily on referrals and hope, would like more control
✓ You can't answer "Who are you for?" or "What makes you different?" without stumbling
✓ You don't have months for traditional strategy development
✓ You're willing to invest 2-3 hours weekly in building something that lasts
✓ You want capabilities you'll keep, not dependency on a coach forever
✓ You're technically excellent at delivery but struggle with business development
✓ You understand there are no quick fixes, real systems take collaboration
This Probably Isn't Right If:
✗ You want overnight results or growth hacks that sound too good to be true
✗ You want someone to run campaigns for you rather than build your capability
✗ You're not ready to invest time in implementation alongside coaching
✗ You compete primarily on being the cheapest option and don't want to change
✗ You're expecting magic formulas that work without any effort on your part
✗ You just want validation for doing what you're already doing
✗ You're not willing to try approaches that might feel uncomfortable at first
Who I Work With:
Professional Services - Consultants, accountants, solicitors, coaches who compete on expertise and need to demonstrate value beyond "great service"
Technology & B2B - Software, IT services, B2B companies looking to scale beyond referrals and word-of-mouth networking
Creative Agencies - Design, marketing, creative businesses tired of feast-famine cycles and clients who don't value expertise appropriately
Building systems takes time, collaboration, and willingness to implement approaches that might feel uncomfortable at first. But for business owners who are serious about sustainable growth and willing to do the work - this changes everything.
Common Questions About the Programme
What's the difference between business coaching and mentoring?
Great question - and you need both.
Business coaching is about building systems through structured methodology. I help you develop positioning, create lead generation systems, build sales processes. This is frameworks, processes, repeatable approaches.
Business mentoring is about sharing real experience. I've built three businesses, closed millions in sales, made expensive mistakes. I share what actually worked, what failed, what I wish someone had told me. This is wisdom you can't get from frameworks alone.
Most business coaches teach theory they learned in courses. Most mentors share stories without methodology. You get both - proven coaching frameworks plus real-world experience from someone who's actually built businesses.
That combination is rare and it's what makes systems work in practice, not just in theory.
What if I'm too busy with client work to implement?
Then we focus on what's realistic right now. Some sessions we build new systems when you have capacity. Other sessions we troubleshoot decisions or work through strategic questions that came up in client conversations when you're busy.
The programme adapts to your capacity. No guilt when client work gets crazy. No pressure to implement everything at once. We adjust to what's actually possible given what's happening in your business.
I remember being so buried in client delivery that business development felt impossible. Some weeks I could barely manage email, let alone implement new marketing approaches. I get it completely. We work with your reality, not against it.
That flexibility is exactly what makes this sustainable long-term instead of another thing you try for three weeks and then abandon when you get busy.
How do I know this will work for my industry?
Because I research your specific industry before we start working together. I've worked with consultants, accountants, IT companies, fitness trainers, interior designers, solicitors, coaches, creative agencies, technology companies, and more.
The strategic coaching applies universally - positioning, lead generation, sales process development are relevant across all industries. The research, examples, and specific tactics are tailored to your competitive landscape and what actually works in your niche.
That combination - universal principles plus industry-specific application - is exactly why it works across such diverse businesses. You're not getting generic advice I give everyone. You're getting insights specific to how your industry operates.
What happens if we're not a good fit?
I'll tell you in our first conversation if I don't think I can help with your specific situation. No point wasting each other's time or your money.
And if we start working together and it's not working after a few sessions - if the approach doesn't fit your style, if you're not seeing value in the sessions, if we're just not clicking personally - we stop. No hard feelings. I might even refund the last month if it's clearly not delivering value.
This only works if it's genuinely helpful for you and you're getting real value. Anything else is a waste of both our time and I won't do that. I'd rather tell you we're not a fit than take your money for something that isn't working.
Do you offer one-off consultations?
No. Building a working system takes collaboration over time, not a single session where I give you advice that goes in a folder and never gets implemented.
I've seen it too many times. One-off consultations might feel useful in the moment. You get a report with recommendations. Maybe some frameworks. Then it sits there while you're busy running your business and you never quite get around to implementing any of it. Six months later nothing has changed.
This is about building something that lasts and actually changes your business. That requires ongoing collaboration, refinement, problem-solving as challenges come up, adjustments based on what's working and what isn't. You can't do that in one session.
Can I start with a trial period?
We can structure the first two or three months as a trial if that makes you more comfortable. See if it's working. See if we work well together. See if you're getting value and making progress. Then decide whether to continue longer-term.
Most clients know within two to three months whether this is right for them. Either they're seeing progress, the approach feels sustainable, and they want to continue building. Or it's not clicking and we should stop before spending more time and money.
I'd rather you try it with a clear exit point and decide it's not for you than not try it at all because you're worried about long-term commitment. Fair to both of us.
Ready to Build Your System?
Let's have an honest conversation about where you are, what you're trying to achieve, and whether working together makes sense for your situation.
No high-pressure sales tactics. No manipulation. No tricks. Just a straightforward conversation about your business.
We'll talk about:
- Your current situation and what's working (or isn't) with business development
- Your growth goals and what's getting in the way of achieving them
- Whether the challenges you're facing fit what I actually help with
- What your custom system would look like based on your business and industry
- Investment requirements and what kind of timeline makes sense for your reality
- Whether we're a good fit to work together or if someone else might be better suited
If we're not right for each other, I'll tell you honestly. Might even suggest someone who'd be better suited
for your specific situation. If we are, we'll discuss what working together would look like in practice and whether the investment makes sense for you right now.
No obligation. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about building a sales and marketing system that actually works for your business.
