BRB… I’m just spending the next couple of months enjoying the last of my maternity leave before I get back to business in November.

I’ve had the best time hanging out with baby Ru over the last 7 months and feel as though I am coming back to work with a whole new set of skills that motherhood has taught me. As well as a new found respect for parents.. this gig is hard!

I’ve also had time to think about my services and offering, which will include things like a coaching clinic, downloadable guides and cheat sheets, as well as my usual 1:1 coaching sessions and consultancy services. So stay tuned for more information over the next few months.

See you in November ✌🏼

'I hate being salesy' - me too! 🙈 You're not alone. And the secret is, you don't need to be salesy. There are tons of strategies you can adopt to attract, nurture and win new clients for your business, in a really authentic and credible way.⁠⁠
I'm a big believer in making small marginal gains that can lead to much bigger wins. It all starts with;⁠⁠
✨ An audit of all your current new business strategies, to gain clear visibility of revenue potential and stress test what does and doesn’t work well in generating ROI for your business⁠
✨ Ensuring you have the right marketing and sales strategy in place to attract your ideal client⁠
✨ Building new processes and utilising tools so that nurturing the potential clients in your sales pipeline is easy and stress free⁠
✨ Learning how to qualify opportunities⁠
✨ Practical guidance on how to measure and evaluate your new business performance to keep you on track and maximise ROI⁠
✨ Refining the pitch process and your pitching skills and presentations⁠⁠
What marginal gains can you make today?⁠

Hands up if you’re feeling confident in your marketing and sales strategy?
..it’s okay if you’re not! Most people I speak to are either winging it or adopting a spray and pray approach to lead gen.

It’s not unusual for your own marketing and business development to fall to the bottom of the to-do list. You’re busy doing the day job, delivering the client work. I completely understand.

I’ve been there, done that and got the t-shirt.

But nothing changes if nothing changes... so maybe 2021 is your year to invest in that change?

Here to help if that’s you! 💪🏼

Ello, it’s me! 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
I absolutely hate posting photos of myself, but here we are. I guess I better get used to it now that I am a coach, as it seems to be the done thing to plaster candid photos of yourself over the ‘gram. ⁣
⁣
I’ll probably secretly learn to love it... 😏⁣
⁣
Anyway, just popping on to say hello 👋🏻 and to introduce my new title ‘Marketing, Sales & Mindset Coach’, as I start to take my business in a slightly different direction than before.⁣
⁣
I’m currently studying for my coaching diploma and have a few coaching clients on board already - and I LOVE it. ⁣
⁣
I can’t wait to share my exciting plans, packages and products with you this year. ⁣
⁣
If you’re a future female leader working in a creative service-based business and responsible for biz dev, then please give me a follow, as I will be using the account to share some handy tips and advice with you to help make your work life a bit easier!⁣
⁣
So keep your eyes peeled 👀✌🏼

2021 - A fresh start 💪🏼✨⁣
⁣
When I first set up P&B (almost 3 years ago now 🙈) after a career break to travel the world, I vaguely knew what I wanted to do, but more importantly I knew what I DIDN’T want to do anymore, which was to just fall back into my old job, or something similar. ⁣
⁣
And since then I have stayed pretty true to my new mission of being in charge of my own career, taking on work on my own terms, saying no to the things that don’t bring me joy and doing more of the things that I love.⁣
⁣
It’s been a whirlwind 3 years for many reasons, personally, professionally and more recently navigating our way through a pandemic. ⁣
⁣
But what it has taught me is that I absolutely love to help other people succeed in life and business. ⁣
⁣
So I’ve decided to shake things up a bit here at P&B, to reposition my offering as a Marketing, Sales & Mindset coach, to help other female creative leaders on their journeys to success! ⁣
⁣
And I’m absolutely buzzing about it...! 🤗
