Individual client results from three separate engagements — not an average across all clients. Each one is published in full on the results page.

How the work looks

Your team's calls, treated like game film.

Scrub through a real call the way we review yours: turning points marked, scores tied to exact moments, and a short ranked list of what to fix next.

You moved to pricing before getting a number. Ask for current spend before any product language — that one change is worth about 9 points.

Everything compounds

Every review sharpens the next.

Every call you submit makes the next one sharper. Nothing gets reviewed in isolation — your scores, your patterns, your focus areas all live in one place and get smarter over time.

MEET BLAKE

I carried the number before I taught it.

I built this framework because the fundamentals of a great business or sales call don't change — whether you're selling software, insurance, marketing, fencing, etc. I've used it across every industry I've been in, and it holds up every time.

  • Part of a founding team that raised 3 rounds and exited for $65M
  • Closed $25k–$45k high-ticket packages across multiple industries
  • +20% minimum closing-rate lift across 19 clients in 2026 alone
  • Same rubric applied to every business, ever call, every client

How it works

One system, built in four moves.

Offer, pricing, pipeline, sales calls, hiring and training are reviewed and rebuilt as one system, not a patchwork of fixes.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    I review your actual sales calls, pipeline, and pricing. No generic playbook, no guesswork — every recommendation traces back to what really happened on the calls.

  2. 02

    Prioritize

    Rank the revenue leaks by impact, effort and urgency, so the first build is the one that pays for the rest.

  3. 03

    Build

    Rework the sales process and put in the framework, scorecard, hiring bar, training and automation that hold it up.

  4. 04

    Optimize

    Track results call by call, tune the system, and add capability as the team grows past you.

The rubric

100 points, four categories, no mystery weighting.

Every point is attached to an observable behavior on your team's real calls. If it can't be pointed at in the recording, it isn't scored.

Discovery

30 pts
  • Question-to-statement ratio in the first five minutes
  • A real number captured: budget, current spend, timeline, or cost of the problem
  • All decision-makers identified and invited

Objection Handling

30 pts
  • The specific objection addressed, in their words
  • Past bad experiences excavated rather than skipped
  • Structural fixes offered before discounts

Closing

30 pts
  • A specific date and time locked for the next step
  • Second decision-maker invited before hanging up
  • The business actually asked for

Tonality & Cadence

10 pts
  • Control held through interruptions
  • Pricing and next steps never rushed at the end
  • Silence used after key questions

Progress tracker

Eight weeks. The same rubric. A visible pattern.

Every reviewed call adds evidence. Strengths become repeatable, weak habits stop hiding inside averages, and the team never carries more than three active focus areas.

Next call focus

Main takeaway · last scored call

Get a real number before minute six, and invite the second decision-maker before you talk price. Both held on your last two calls — one more and it moves to confirmed strength.

Tracked outcomes

The scores moved. Then the revenue did.
