Monetize your exec experience


G'day G'day friends,

I was on a call with a senior executive who managed over 150 staff across 3 countries.

​
Diana said: "I don't know what I would even sell as a solopreneur."
​
She's currently a Senior Director of People and Culture at a big tech company.
​
Her career up until this point has been incredible.
​
Previously, she grew a hostel group from 26 beds to 400 in less than 3 years,
and then built a resort on an empty field in less than 9 months.
​
Before that, she grew an airline brand, an accounting firm, and a couple of hotels.
​
She looked at all of that and saw a mess.
​
Too many jobs that didn't connect.
​
But I saw a sales-and-operations skill that helped her to rapidly grow companies.
​
Then she mentioned something to me, like it didn't matter.
​
3 different employers had hired her on the spot with no interview.
​
One of those conversations lasted about 10 seconds.
​
Her objection to becoming a sales trainer:
​
"I'm an expert as a customer service guru, not a sales coach."
​
I told her that getting hired in 10 seconds and growing companies is selling.
​
So I asked who she'd loved working with right now.
​
She named one client.
​
It was the company's most valuable account, worth $70k a year to her employer.
​
She'd won it herself.
​
From there, her solopreneur offer came together pretty fast.
​
She now teaches B2B teams to sell the way she does.
​
She calls it the "sales through great service" methodology.
​
We pulled 5 steps out of how she already works and put them into one 2.5-hour session for up to 20 people, priced between $3,000 and $5,000.
​
She's put the offer out.
​
A past employer has already asked her to train their team.
​
I see this a lot with executives who've had accomplished careers.
​
The skill that comes easiest is the one you forget to charge for.
​
If you can't say what you sell in one line, your customers won't either.
