Part 1: The Problem

When I first started my leadership consulting career, many years ago, I realized, over time, that simply having expertise wasn’t enough. Like many in the industry, I was stuck with two significant challenges that felt impossible to overcome: improving my sales funnel efficiency and growing my revenue quickly.

The problem is far from unique. Whether you're a business coach, leadership consultant, or culture advisor, these issues hit almost everyone in the coaching and consulting space. The reality is, 60% of consultants face inefficiencies in their sales funnels, resulting in missed opportunities and wasted time (Source: HubSpot Marketing Report).

Then there’s the issue of revenue growth. For consultants and coaches, it’s often hard to scale beyond a certain point without increasing your workload. For me, doubling my revenue growth seemed like an impossible task. I later learned that 70% of consultants struggle with achieving consistent revenue growth due to a lack of structured systems (Source: ICF Global Coaching Study).

I was constantly fighting to improve the efficiency of my sales funnel, get more leads, and convert those leads into paying clients—all while trying to figure out how to grow my revenue without burning out.

Part 2: The World Today

I can’t tell you how frustrating it was. I spent hours refining my services, yet the sales funnel—the very thing that was supposed to bring in clients—was riddled with inefficiencies. Leads were dropping off midway, and I had no idea how to keep the momentum going. 60% of consultants find themselves in the same boat, struggling to streamline their sales processes (Source: HubSpot Business Insights).

The pressure was building. Without an efficient sales funnel, I wasn’t able to convert enough leads, which directly impacted my revenue. Every time I onboarded a client, it felt like a one-off success rather than part of a scalable system. Studies show that 50% of consultants fail to double their revenue within a year due to a lack of structured onboarding and client acquisition processes (Source: Forbes Business Report).

And then there was the revenue stagnation. No matter how hard I worked, doubling my revenue growth seemed like a pipe dream. I learned that only 30% of consultants manage to grow their revenue at that rate even when they lack a solid system to retain clients and generate ongoing business (Source: SBA). The numbers were bleak, and I felt like I was constantly spinning my wheels without seeing the results I needed.

The frustration, the pressure, the inefficiencies—it all made scaling my business seem impossible. And, according to statistics, this is a problem for a majority of consultants and coaches in the industry.
