  • 240. The no-pitch strategy to closing your first client - with Peter Svenneby

    Why do so many accomplished professionals leave corporate careers feeling confident in their expertise, only to second guess themselves when it comes to sales and pricing as entrepreneurs?

    In this episode, Deb Boulanger and Peter Svenneby talk honestly about what changes after the corporate title is gone. They explore the uncomfortable middle ground between purpose and profit, where self worth, visibility, and money start to collide. The conversation moves through the difference between scarcity thinking and building from abundance, why relationships matter more than polished pitches, and how sales can feel aligned instead of performative.

    They also address one of the hardest parts of the transition for women entrepreneurs, pricing with confidence in a market full of comparison and noise. This episode is not about tactics or hacks. It is about building a business that can support your work, your values, and your life.

  • 238. The truth about authentic sales for women with Jennifer Frye

    Are you still measuring your worth by how the last month went, even after leaving corporate?

    In this episode of Life After Corporate, Deb Boulanger sits down with Jennifer Frye, CEO of Appreciated Asset Business Solutions, for a deeply honest conversation about what happens when performance-based validation follows you into entrepreneurship. Jennifer shares the moment she was called a "depreciating asset" just eight days into a new month, and how that moment became the spark for building a business grounded in value, respect, and humanity.

    Together, they explore sales trauma, perfectionism, resilience, and why your role in sales is not to convince or close, but to educate, connect, and stay aligned. If you have ever felt shaken by a slow month or questioned your value as a business owner, this episode offers a different way forward.

    What would change if your numbers stopped defining you?
