If you operate in one of those businesses that invests a lot of time &amp; money in lead generation and then have little in place to follow those conversations through - we need to talk.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Getting the balance right between sales and marketing is possibly one of the biggest challenges businesses face.&nbsp;&nbsp;

On the one hand, marketers are frustrated that their efforts go to waste when sales do not respond to their leads quickly enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;

On the other, sales are frustrated when marketing hands over opportunities that are not sufficiently qualified for the conversation.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Whether you&apos;re fortunate enough to have internal marketing resources or use external agencies, what constitutes a sales-ready opportunity may differ greatly from company to company.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

I work with businesses to ensure that their sales and marketing efforts are aligned so that opportunities stand a better chance of converting.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

This requires having the systems, processes, and collateral in place to enable it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

My method is based on the provision of:&nbsp;
?? Sales Foundations&nbsp;
?? Lead Qualification Framework&nbsp;
?? Sales &amp; Marketing Alignment&nbsp;
?? Sales Conversion Enablement&nbsp;
?? Customer Success Delivery&nbsp;&nbsp;

When combined they provide a solid basis for revenue growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;

For the most part, I love working with scaling businesses that are in the process of building sales and marketing teams to reach their next business growth milestone. There is little structure in place but together we will build you one.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Let&apos;s do this!

I am the Queen of Reinvention, certified in Human Design and Emotional Intelligence. I’m also a long-time student of Abraham Hicks (The Law of Attraction). Entrepreneurs hire me because secretly, they know they’re capable of so much more, but either they don’t know what’s stopping them from taking the next move or they do and they’re ignoring their intuition. Is this YOU? That’s totally normal. That’s where all my clients begin. I like to ask challenging questions, so let’s start. Do you value yourself? Do you fantasise about a different or much better life when you have space and time for yourself? I’ve been here myself Friends and colleagues would say to me - you’re so successful, how do you do it? But I didn’t feel successful. I had nothing other than my work. I’d worked globally in the boardrooms of several blue-chip companies, as an Executive Coach and team-building expert. I was highly trained and knew I was talented. Twenty years ago I was using some pretty advanced energy and play techniques which got great results. I helped grown men in grey suits get out of their heads and into their gut and their intuition. I had great fun at work. Away from that environment, I had a secret life going on in my head which meant I was desperately trying to find someone to love me. In 2013 I began dating my husband, John. We dated way back in 1983 and somehow 30 years later, John discovered me online. That&apos;s a story for another time. I found John and the Law of Attraction at the same time. Neither of us was in a good place, but we made a promise to ourselves that we were going to help each other, communicate openly and find happiness together. The Law of Attraction most definitely helped us both examine our behaviour and what we were attracting, but it wasn’t until I was introduced to Human Design that the magic happened. I began to see I wasn’t valuing my uniqueness. I began to see I was hiding and keeping myself small. I began to see the life that I’d kept secret from others WAS how I was meant to be As The Queen of Reinvention, I help women understand their uniqueness and how to make their secret life come true.
