Alison Proffit
Alison Proffit teaches small business owners how to become more effective in the sales aspect of their business. Her work focuses on becoming more clear on where the breakdown is, creating a sales process that resonates with them so that they can go into sales conversations more confidently and then have a plan to follow through on the connections that have been made.
Alison attempted to start her own coaching business 4 times. The key word there was "attempted". Each of these attempts failed. Primarily because of a lack of knowledge of what it meant to be a good sales person. Having worked in the HR field for 16 years and receiving coaching certification, the business ideas were good ones and the services that she offered created good results for her clients. It was merely, the lack of consistent sales meant the business did not succeed and the focus had to be turned back to a corporate job to pay the bills.
That is until, a company saw potential in Alison's ability to sell. She was offered an inside sales job at Constant Contact selling digital marketing tools and services to small businesses. They saw the potential that she did not even fully recognize in herself. They provided amazing training and insight on how to sell effectively. Alison quickly rose to become a top sales performer and learned more about small businesses: what makes them tick, succeed and thrive.
The overall theme: Sales is like oxygen for a company. Without it, your business will cease to exist.
With this newfound knowledge of sales and marketing, Alison started her business again. The focus this time was on helping small business owners, like you, become rock star sales people. If she can do it, you can learn to as well! This time it was easy. Making sales was fun and her quick path to profitability caused people to want to know her secret to success. Hint- it wasn't just because of her last name!
Alison fully understands how businesses function, what contributes to organizational success and how to help you tap into your fullest potential. With years spent in training and development in the corporate world and being a small business owner herself, you will be in good hands with the Proffit Coach!
When not doing business, Alison loves to sing, talk personal development, drive around the beautiful canyons in Northern CO and eat good food!
