Creative Sales Coach and Founder: Leona Baker
Over the past two decades I’ve sold over a million pounds worth of products and services.
I can sell anywhere from E-commerce platforms to in-person events, one-to-one to one-to-many business models and recurring revenue to retailers and pop-ups.
I make money from my creativity because it’s simply who I am.
But I’m not a magical unicorn.
I can do this because I have learnt and practised a very specific mindset and skills-based process.
Which means you can absolutely do this too.
You’ll become a creative person who is in control of creating sales.
You don’t have to choose between honouring your creativity or making money.
You can enjoy both.
Time to unlearn the 'selling is icky' narrative and learn how to joyfully sell from your values and creativity.
Let me show you how in the Joyful Selling for Creative Professionals program.
In the meantime, here's the trail I've been blazing for the past 19 years...
