Creating Social Impact Podcast with Kat Luckock

I know for some, trying to understand how a coach can actually help you achieve a sales goal (or any goals for that matter) is all a bit mystical and mysterious at times, especially if you've never worked with one before.

So let me demystify my approach for you in today's episode.

Here's what I do with my clients and how I could help you too (recognising that every client is unique and I take a lead from them always).

If you're interested in working with me I currently have 2 spots open to get started asap. Find out more and apply here: https://www.shareimpact.org/coaching

For a long time I have imagined being a room with over a 100 social impact leaders - imagine the energy, insight, ideas and wisdom in that room. I've wanted to create this type of community for a long time, and that time is now. This episode is intentionally a little bit different. It is an invitation to those of you who are ready for coaching and community - a space created for you to be your fullest self; a space for you to explore your leadership; and a space to discover new parts of your journey.

Listen to learn more, I hope you decide to join us.

I hope it helps you explore why you price your services the way you do and look at alternative options for different audiences. 

Sales in social enterprise is my thing, so when I find someone else equally as passionate about sales who also works in and gets social enterprise, I get very excited. 

Nova Arkney is one of those people. She reached out to me just a few weeks ago and now you have the pleasure of listening to me speak to her about all the things we've been discussing recently, when it comes to sales and social enterprise. 

Through her 10 year career, Nova worked in many different sales roles, including retail, charity and SaaS sales before she decided it was time to share what she knew with young people to help them to get into sales careers too. Having come from a working class background herself, she understands the power of the unique opportunities that exist in sales careers and the frustration of trying to do it alone. Social mobility has long been a focus for her and the ability to combine it and be able to share a career she loved is what drives her and AimHire every day!
