Would you believe me if I told you that one of my rockstar clients generated well over 20k in just one 4-day black Friday promotion?

Would you believe me if I told you she did it selling handmade jewelry?

How about with a brand new baby?

Well, I'm here to tell you that Rachel Calhoun did just that. She leveraged the strengths of her team, drew up a detailed marketing plan, and used her genuine excitement about her offer to attract an unprecedented amount of sales. 

What I love most about her story is her clarity she and her team have about who is their ideal customer and how that impacts every decision she and her team make with their marketing.
