This Business Consultant Reinvented Herself to Attract Multi-Million-Dollar Proposals!

Sara Sheehan is a name you’re going to hear a LOT in the coming years.

Between Sara’s razor-sharp business acumen and her warm and genuine personality – Well, it’s easy to see why her clients LOVE her so much!

Like so many QSI students, Sara has big ambitions but needed a reliable business development model and a structure to bring her vision to life.

So here we go...

This is the story of how Sara went from working a senior-level corporate job in 2020 to reinventing herself during the pandemic to now landing multi-million-dollar proposals in 2022!

And hey, if you need a little inspiration today - Sara's story is worth reading.

From Sending Out Hundreds of Resumes to Starting a Business

Sara is a deeply talented human capital and performance expert, having spent close to 30 years working with Fortune 100 companies and multinational firms. This is what drove her to a senior-level position in 2020.

Then the pandemic struck and everything changed.

Sara found herself back in the job market, sending out hundreds of resumes, attending just a handful of interviews, and finally reaching a crossroads in her career.

Now here’s what I absolutely adore about Sara – She's not one to be deterred easily.

Inspiration struck and the wheels began spinning!

Sara realized this would be a fantastic opportunity to start her own business and brand herself as an independent thought leader in her niche.

The biggest challenge?

Due to the confidential nature of Sara’s previous contracts, she was unable to leverage that work to grow her visibility on social media.

Sara needed a new way of working. A new business development model. And this is how...

Sara Became a Top-of-Mind Consultant For Her Clients

In January 2021, the same month she began her business, Sara was introduced to my Quick-Start Intensive program by a mutual friend and QSI student.

I was so happy to have her join us. I could already sense that she was positively brimming with talent and potential – Sara just has that ‘It’ factor!

And sure enough, in the first 8 months alone, Sara started seeing some BIG results in her brand-new business.

She was able to get very active on social media and create a memorable brand presence.

She was able to become a recognizable and influential figure in her niche among her ideal clients.

And YES! She was able to use her Market Research Conversations to test her programs with her ideal market and make her offers irresistible.

Wonderful Sara!

Because of her heightened visibility online, Sara was able to attract paid consulting work just a few months after enrolling in QSI.

And the amazing part is, she has maintained her revenue momentum. For Q3 of 2022, Sara crossed her revenue goal by 85%.

Woohoo! Way to go, Sara!

What The Future Holds

Sara now feels much more focused on her business and is able to deliver her expertise in a very planful, strategic way.

She is continuing to gain momentum by being active and consistent on social media, getting her branding down, and showing up in a very professional way.

It is a huge relief for Sara to be able to attract her ideal clients with ease as she has the financial freedom to be more particular with the proposals she wants to accept.

Because YES – She is now getting multi-million-dollar proposals!

Just writing that brings a smile to my face :)

And after streamlining her business, Sara has taken back her time to explore new ventures – She is doing various podcast appearances and writing thought leadership articles to grow her brand.

Congrats Sara! You deserve this success.

I’m so happy you were able to find the clients, the proposals, and the revenue growth with ease and joy. We wish you the very best in your journey!

I keep wanting to change this to hundreds of resumes, and I am not sure if sharing the actual number matters. Does this hurt the story at all?
