The High Cost of Low Confidence
You can be big, 70 people big, and still lack commercial confidence. They were doing great work but systematically underpricing it. An eight-week training program fixed the mindset so they could stop pitching and start leading.
Breaking the Time-Based Ceiling
We weren't struggling. We were doing great. But billing by the hour hits a ceiling eventually because you simply run out of hours. We had to break that model to keep growing.

Sales feels uncomfortable to a lot of creative leaders. It doesn't have to. Twelve founders got together to learn how to do it without the pressure or the "salesy" nonsense. Just calm conversations and closing deals.
