The Confidence & Influence Catalyst: Unlock Next-Level Sales Performance

Transform your sales teams into revenue powerhouses with the proven strategies of a LinkedIn Top Sales Voice, 4x Salesforce Sales Influencer, and sought-after expert.

Outdated Tactics Are Sabotaging Your Team. It's Time for a Change.

In a world saturated with pushy pitches and relentless chasing, your sales team may struggle with shrinking pipelines, low conversion rates, and a collective lack of confidence. Generic sales scripts and "always be closing" mantras breed hesitation and repel today's savvy buyers.

I know this because I've seen it firsthand – underperforming teams stuck in cycles of frustration and missed targets. My success as a sought-after sales influencer stems from an unshakeable belief in a better way: the "attract, not attack" philosophy. Let's empower your team to build genuine connections confidently, become sought-after experts, and secure long-term revenue growth.

The Transformation: Forge Confidence, Cultivate Authentic Influence (and Spark a Movement)

Forget canned motivational speeches. My experiential approach is rooted in the hard-earned lessons of overcoming adversity. I'll equip your team with the psychological tools and strategic skills to build unbreakable confidence in themselves and your product or service.

We'll go beyond generic sales techniques and ignite a deeper change. I'll share my groundbreaking "Own Your Awesome" method, empowering your reps (especially women) to confidently embrace their strengths and step into their full potential. While this benefits all reps, it has a particularly profound impact on women in sales. They'll become genuine thought leaders through targeted LinkedIn strategies, attracting qualified leads while building relationships that fuel sustainable sales growth. This is my "attract, not attack" philosophy in action.

The Outcome: Measurable Results, Empowered Teams That Drive Growth

Witness a surge in closed deals, a robust pipeline, and a sales force ignited with the skills and confidence to exceed expectations consistently. Like Great Lakes Benefit Group, who achieved a 30% revenue surge six months after implementing the "attract, not attack" mindset, you'll see immediate returns.

But the true impact goes beyond numbers. By equipping your team to adapt to the ever-changing sales landscape, you're building a fundamentally empowered team that generates results today, tomorrow, and for years. Let's transform your sales force into an unstoppable growth engine and secure a brighter future for your company.

Why Me?

I'm Cynthia, a barrier-shattering, system-disrupting force in the sales world. As the first Black woman headlining a national sales conference and founder of the National Association of Women Sales Professionals, I don't play by the outdated rules.

Forget the "hustle-bro" sales tactics. I created the "Women Sell Better" methodology, turning "feminine" strengths – empathy, collaboration, connection – into your competitive edge. I'm not just closing deals, I'm building movements that demand real, lasting change.

My mission is a sales revolution. Success gets redefined on our terms, smashing ceilings reserved for the privileged few. My goal? Ignite your potential, ignite your confidence, and together, set a new standard for who gets a seat at the table.

Join me. Let's tear down the old systems and prove that owning your awesome isn't just powerful, it's profitable.
