Success Stories

“I more than doubled my income from this time last year.”

“We used to book clients just in time to keep income flowing, and we now have a 6-month cushion!”

“I was my reviewing my revenue dashboard and it showed that I earned $100K more in 2024 compared to the year before. I joined the Academy in May 2024 and it has transformed my sales approach entirely.”

“Going over my numbers for last year — my revenue increased +20% and the number of clients I worked with decreased by -37%. I’m so excited about this! Switching over to value-based pricing helped me get higher-paying clients without having to add tons more clients into the mix!!”

“One of my biggest goals was to shift away from subcontracting and white-labeling for marketing communications agencies. Now I have not only made up for that “lost” income — I am on track to exceed last year’s revenue by about 14%. And I already have several new leads for 2025!”

“I’ve thrown out the industry pricing structure and went with a new one where I get paid for work I was doing for free. I literally just hit ‘send’ on my third proposal and within 10 seconds I had the accepted proposal back in my inbox!”

“WIN: New client with 6-month contract at 75% greater net income!”

“I know we only worked together briefly, but I am just so grateful to you. You really helped me find direction in how to improve my business. My business is finally starting to turn around, and this year is already going much better than last.”

“One of my goals was to be able secure revenue that meets my monthly baseline 3-6 months out consistently. I was regularly taking until the middle of the month to secure revenue within that same month. Now I have secured a 4 month runway well beyond my baseline requisite income goal AND have another two bigger contracts in my pipeline that could lead me to have a 6 or more runway.”

“Doubled my rate, said it out loud without wavering or backpedaling, got a yes!”

“Every day I feel more and more like I’m the driver of my business!”

“I’m already halfway to my income goal for the year and it’s only January!”

“It was amazing to reflect on how my company has changed in the past year.
Before, we had clients paying us $3K a month and retainer agreements for 3 months or less. Today, our rates start at $7500/month for 12 months, minimum. Having this stability and cash flow has allowed both my business partner and me to give ourselves raises and give our ops manager a raise.”

“All my career, I have been looking for something like this. I’ve been so reactive, and to be proactive makes all the difference.”

Your course worked so well that I am doing great with sales, clients, and prospects. Last year I brought in significantly more business than I forecasted!

“I was blown away! In a short time we completely re-designed the process to tighten up our sales funnel, and we were left with a system to increase our revenue per sale. I felt like I had a life-altering breakthrough in my therapist’s office, but for my business!”

“This week marks one year since I began posting regularly on LinkedIn, so I thought I’d look back at the totality of the wins it has brought me over the past 12 months. During that time, I signed 10 new clients. Depending on how you count, as many as 80% of my new clients can be traced back to PYP. Major, major win!”

“In the month of October I had 27 sales calls and I got five new clients. And I took three days off! I’ve learned so much in this program. It’s already given me business, and it’s given me confidence.”

“I always felt like my sales process was too clunky, but I couldn’t pinpoint where things went wrong. Thanks to this course, I could see exactly where! It’s allowed me to get ahead of the pitfalls and surprises that tend to pop up, so I can overcome my clients’ objections before they happen. After all this time, it all snapped into place!”

“Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the Painkiller Workshop. After years of struggling with “What do I do?” I’m starting to see more clearly. In the workshop, I came up with a painkiller I liked. Then, on a whim, I changed my LinkedIn profile on Sunday. Then, three days later, totally unprompted, I got a message on LinkedIn from a client I worked with two years ago. Confirmation! And now I’m finally clear on the lead magnet to create, too. Adopting the ‘painkiller’ approach helps me so much.”

“#win — four ideal clients reached out in 1 day. All four essentially said they saw the headline change!”

“Had a final call with the CEO/head of marketing this morning and focused on incorporating value messaging throughout. Lots of head nodding and just received an email that we have won the business! It’s a 6-figure engagement for 6 months.”

I have exceeded my best year of business this year! This started with a new client won in May, a 6-figure win in June for a 6-month project, and 1-2 client wins each month thereafter.

“I just sold my biggest project to date! It’s a $60k project for eight weeks of work!”

“That follow-up call on Friday turned to a YES today! This is my biggest single project to-date, sold to a client who is ‘my people’, doing the work that I love, and she found me entirely because of the LinkedIn approach, and I sold it to her using the sales approach!”

“For the first time in my business, I feel head-to-toes confident with my message, my positioning, and my marketing. Leah is no-fluff, all practical. I feel on fire, and I’m getting way more solid inquiries and feeling confident in building my pipeline, even as I move into a new area of expertise to offer my clients.”

“I now have a business I love that works for the life I want—just as you said was possible. I have reached almost $300k in revenue this year and am on track to exceed that in 2023. And I still have time to exercise and spend time with my husband and family. Thank you for helping me unlock this possibility I hoped was possible but hadn’t seen up close.”

“I just did my first call using my VBM* and outlining my three levels of how I often work with people. It felt SO good to be so clear and confident in what I can offer and to see the lightbulbs going off for the prospect. She ended the call by saying ‘This is exactly what we need right now. I can’t wait to talk with my leadership team today about how we can work together.’ Eek!”

“I just have to tell you, where I am now vs. where I was before – I feel like I’m light years ahead. I just feel so good about where I am now, and where my business is going!”

“I’m able to prioritize efficiently and feel on top of our work though we are busier than we have ever been.”

“I crushed my revenue goal in Q3! My revenue in Q2 was $176k and I made the goal to hit $200k… I did $236k. I want to thank you for that. You have been transformative.”

“The proposal you helped me with in our quarterly call… they picked Option #3! We removed a little bit of scope from the original… but it’s still over $90K. NEVER.HAVE.I.EVER. It’s Quarter 1 and I have more money booked than I made last year… and I grew 40% last year!”

“I hadn’t had a chance to adjust the proposal based on our discussion Friday but it seems like he didn’t need any extra convincing. Bam! He signed the proposal for $226k.”

“Back in year 2 of my business, I made it a growth goal to do a minimum of $25K per project. And now I’m selling projects at $155K.”

“When I started, I had no pipeline, and I had a client that I had gotten through an agency, but I didn’t have my own clients. Now I’ll have two of my own clients by the end of the week!”

“Well how about that! Three prospective client convos booked this week, all through LinkedIn!”

“Just got a yes on a big project! I made him an offer, and though the price was more than he originally had in mind, he ultimately said yes. How did he find me? LinkedIn, of course!”

“Wow! I just have to tell you, where I am now vs. where I was before this program – I feel like I’m light years ahead. I just feel so good about where I am now, and where my business is going!”

“I just secured a contract for 500% more than I was originally going to quote. I was ready to undervalue my bid and ask for $7,000 but I reached out to Leah and the team for a pep talk and I’m glad I did, because we are now going under contract for $37,500!! I’m stoked!”

“I just got an email for another consultation, so this has been a week of 5 inquiries and it’s my new record!! I can’t believe it.. Guys, this works!!”

I asked a new client who signed with us who we were up against. He mentioned they were going to reach out to two other firms but as soon as we provided them with our proposal, they were wowed enough not to go any further! Can I say again that the proposal template is the absolute freaking best?!

“We went from ‘OMG I hope we’re going to make it,’ to, ‘Yeah of course we’re going to make it!’ We’ve already hit our revenue goal for the year and it’s July, so we’ve had to set a new, bigger revenue goal.”

Leah helped us re-aligned our existing CRM, which wasn’t doing much for us, to meet our business objectives. Now that I have visibility into our back-end operations, I am able to prioritize efficiently and feel on top of our work though we are busier than we have ever been!

I’ve had CRM’s before, but working with Leah I know that it’s set up in the best possible way to support and empower our business, and ensure that we’ll continue to use it – actually staying connected with people and closing deals. We couldn’t have done it without her deep understanding of the sales process, her help thinking through how to move opportunities forward, and her ability to mold the CRM so we can use it as the engine to grow our business.

By getting my CRM set up, Leah has helped me unlock the secret to growing my sales. I’d always had a tough time with sales because it was impossible to juggle selling with everything else on my plate. It was also hard for me to really prioritize where to spend my time. I kept everything in my head which makes it nearly impossible to do business development in any thoughtful way. With Leah helping me with my CRM, I feel like I’ve really unlocked an important tool. I have a way to stay organized, and I know exactly where to focus my energy. I also have an incredible visibility into my pipeline, so I know how much revenue I stand to make in a way I never have before. But beyond what I can do now, I think the biggest change is in how I feel: more confident about selling, more in control, and finally able to go out and grow my revenue.

“It was about a year ago that I participated in SIGNED and what a year it’s been! I will likely end the year with 75% more revenue than I targeted for the year.”
