Good judgement often comes from experience, and experience often comes from bad judgement... there is no reason to make the same mistakes I did. I'm all about delivering value, so if there is anyway I can be of assistance in anyway, please don't hesitate to reach out. :) Here's a few "professional" highlights... 1 - I founded MastermindTalks (MMT). An annual invite only event for entrepreneurs. 16,000 entrepreneurs have applied for an event capped at 150 people. 2 - I ran and facilitated a $25 000 a year mastermind group for entrepreneurs for over 2 years. 3 - I'm the host of a well respected business podcast called CommunityMade. 4 - I've hosted well over a thousand entrepreneurs over dinner throughout the last 6 years leveraging concepts shared in my book, Mastermind Dinners. 5 - I'm a former learning chair at the Entrepreneurs' Organization.

► Are you currently trying to scale your service-based business to the next level? ⬇️ WHAT WE DO ⬇️ For more than 20 years, I’ve done business across all 7 major geographic regions in executive positions and as a managing partner of Kelbree Consulting helping develop and execute successful marketing and sales methodologies that result in rapid scale. We started Kelbree Consulting to help 7 & 8-figure service-based businesses leverage our S3 Formula to achieve true scale. And… When it comes to strategy, systems & execution required to scale, most service-based businesses are: ► Too caught up in the day-to-day to shift gears ► Only creating incremental changes in their strategies ► Stuck in a loop of trying something new, and falling back into old tactics They just don’t know how to get their ops, marketing and sales dialed in for scale, and think that it’s impossible to achieve the growth and stability to eventually be acquired. And let’s face it, most service-based businesses pray for rapid internal growth to unlock their next level. It’s a vicious cycle of storm chasing, firing, and hiring, outsourcing only to bring things back in-house, creating a fearful culture due to periods of feast and famine. Relying on doing more of what you’ve always done is simply not a reliable way to scale a business. At Kelbree Consulting, we help 7 & 8-figure service-based businesses completely STOP the guesswork involved in their path to acquisition, while at the same time helping them improve their margins & cash flow with our S3 Formula which consistently provides increased stability and growth. We can… ✔ Get you in front of more high-value ideal clients all around the world ✔ Dial in your ops, sales, and marketing strategy with a clear road map ✔ Put a winning sales strategy in the hands of your sales leaders ✔ Help you dominate your market with custom-tailored marketing execution You will be able to: ✅ Overcome your growth plateau and continue to scale ✅ Increase your margins, market share, and consistency ✅ Increase sales with proven strategies & predictable systems To learn more, shoot me a message— OR book a call on my calendar: https://calendly.com/kelbreeconsulting/schedule-time
