Picture this: A seasoned professional, grappling with a complex challenge in their consulting business, finds an unexpected ally in a peer who's walked in their client's shoes for two decades.

This isn't just networking. THIS is the power of being surrounded by your true peers.

When I talk about peers, I don't mean generic groups of women business owners, or hobbyists, or coaches who coach coaches – although all of those groups have a place.

And I don’t mean people who are selling B2C or just got out of life coach school five minutes ago.

I'm talking about a community of women just like you who are building and scaling consulting businesses. Women who are facing similar challenges and looking for similar solutions.

Women who truly get you.

In this kind of community:

1. If you're facing a situation, someone else has faced it too.
2. They've HAD that client. Or they've BEEN that client.
3. They've sold into that industry.
4. They've written that proposal.
5. They've hit that obstacle.
6. They've gotten through to the other side.

This is the breakthrough that comes from a community of women building and scaling consulting businesses together.

It's the difference between feeling alone in your struggles and having a support system that's been there, done that, and is ready to guide you through.

Let me tell you, it's pretty cool.

How would it feel to have this powerhouse of experience and support at your fingertips?

Here's to your success,?

P.S. Remember, in consulting, sometimes the best advice comes from those who've sat on both sides of the table. Are you ready to tap into that wisdom?

Hi! I'm Leah Neaderthal. I'm a sales coach for women consultants and the founder of Smart Gets Paid.

When I left my corporate career and started my first consulting business, I learned three things very quickly:

1- It’s 1000x harder to sell your own stuff than to sell someone else’s.

2- Marketing is not selling.

3- I had no idea how to sell.

I needed clients, but I didn’t know how to actually get them, and I was terrified of coming off like a used car salesman. It made me doubt whether I was even cut out to run a business.

So I taught myself how to get new clients in a way that feels authentic, allows me to be myself, and that works consistently. I now teach these techniques to others. Because I know it’s possible to learn how to land clients, and actually feel comfortable doing it, once you know how.
