I built the Solo Consultant Summit for anyone tired of a pipeline that runs hot for six weeks and then goes completely dead. I share how I escaped feast-or-famine with a 30-day experiment that closed $97,000, then walk through the exact relationship, lead gen, and sales conversion systems we’re teaching.

We walk through a simple way to turn the summer slump into momentum by reaching out to past clients with a private invitation based on what they already told us they needed next.

Your inbox is probably holding a handful of conversations that didn’t end. They just stopped. A great call, real interest, maybe even a proposal sent, and then… silence. That quiet can feel oddly personal, which is exactly why so many consultants avoid following up until it’s painfully awkward. We don’t do “just checking in” here. We walk through five s...
We break down why proposals get ghosted and why the real fix is a paid gateway offer that builds trust before you ever ask for a five-figure yes. We share a simple framework, naming rules, and a five-question template you can use today to turn early interest into a clear next step.

Sixty-five registrations from a handful of appearances, one email, and one LinkedIn post sounds like a fluke, but it’s not magic. It’s a tight offer, a timely problem, and a simple challenge design that makes taking action feel doable.

Referrals feel amazing until they slow down, and suddenly your calendar looks emptier than it should. We’re talking to the solo consultants who are great at delivery but stuck in the messy middle: subcontracting too much, relying on past coworkers for leads, and realizing you never had to learn sales because “pre-trust” used to do the heavy lifting.
We walk through the Thre...
