Theresa French
Our story, in Theresa's words

It started with an outfit in a Levi Strauss store.

At 9, I went door to door through five city blocks and asked one question: “Can I walk your dog?” By the end of that summer I'd walked more than 50 dogs and bought the whole outfit, and my sales career was born.

Lesson one

Do your research.

Make sure they have the problem you want to solve.

Lesson two

Keep going.

There are people waiting for you to walk their dog.

What she believes

Four things Theresa will tell you on the first call.

Your prospect doesn't want you to be good at sales.

They want their problem solved.

Selling is a collaborative conversation.

No tricks, no pressure, no performance.

Nobody is born knowing how to sell.

Rehearse, get honest feedback, try again.

Never take the first answer at face value.

Curiosity wins the work.

Let's talk about the work you want to win.

Bring your practice, your market, and the engagements you're after. We'll look at where your selling is working, where it stalls, and what fits where you are now. If it isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
