Why Closing Isn't About the Sales Call

Mon, 11 May 2026 18:00:00 -0400

When a consulting deal falls apart, most founders rewind the 45-minute sales call. Did I price it wrong? Did I miss a question? Should I have answered that differently?

But here's the thing — by the time you're on that call, the deal has already been won or lost somewhere else.

In this episode, Celina breaks down the three stages where consulting deals actually stall: your messaging, your materials, and your full sales call process (before, during, and after).

You'll learn why specificity sells before a prospect ever talks to you, what deeper engagement piece most consultants are missing, and how to remove friction at every stage so hiring you feels like the easy decision.

If your deals are taking too long, going cold, or falling through without explanation, this one's for you.

Your Sales Strategy Isn't the Problem. Your Brain Is.

Tue, 05 May 2026 21:00:00 -0400

You already know what to do. So why aren't you doing it consistently?

In this episode of Sales by You, Celina breaks down the real reason consulting firm founders stall on their business development activities, and it has nothing to do with strategy. It often often down to executive function: your brain's ability to plan, initiate, and follow through when no one's making you and the payoff isn't immediate.

Most firm founders don't have an information problem. They have an execution problem. And until you identify which cognitive skill is the bottleneck, no strategy is going to stick.

In this episode:

The 5 executive function skills that determine whether your business development strategies actually get executed
Specific tools for each one — from impulse control and task initiation to emotional regulation and planning
Why cognitive flexibility might be the most underrated skill for consulting firm founders managing multiple cognitive demands at once

Celina Guerrero helps boutique consulting firm founders build revenue on purpose, so it stops being something that just happens -- or doesn't.

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 23:00:00 -0400

In this episode of the Sales by You podcast, Celina breaks down the three lead generation channels that give independent consultants real, controllable pipeline — and explains why the thing most consultants rely on most (social media) isn't actually lead gen at all.

You'll learn:

The three lead generation channels available to independent consultants, and the trade-offs of each
Why social media is a marketing tool, not a lead engine
How to choose the right channel for the way you work so you're not forcing yourself into a strategy that won't stick

One Referral Away from a Bad Month? Here's What to Do About It

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode of the Sales by You podcast, Celina gets real about the pressure that comes with putting everything on one big moment — the speaking engagement, the launch, the referral you're counting on — and why that approach puts your business at risk.

It's not that the big moments are bad. It's what's missing around them.

You'll learn:

Why relying on high-stakes, one-off moments creates cash flow problems, confidence problems, and a business that's harder to run than it needs to be
What a sales system actually looks like for an independent consultant — and why it doesn't have to be complicated to work

You're Putting in the Work. So Where Are the Clients?

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0400

In this episode of the Sales by You podcast, Celina walks through three real client scenarios — an educational consultant, a communications consultant, and a creative consultant — all putting in serious effort, all frustrated by the same thing: not enough clients coming in consistently.

The problem isn't their expertise. It isn't their sales calls. It's what was missing underneath the effort.

You'll learn:

Why 97% of sales comes down to timing — and what that means for how you stay visible
The difference between being active and having a system that nurtures people until they're ready
Why having great lead magnets and content still isn't enough if you don't have enough people in the room

3 Things to Remove for Predictable Revenue

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 10:00:00 -0500

In this episode of the Sales by You podcast, Celina talks about three things you need to remove from your marketing and sales process to create predictable revenue.

How One Consultant Fixed Her Sales Process

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Most consultants know what they should do in sales—but knowing and doing are two different things. In this episode, I break down the three critical shifts one client made that transformed her sales process from rushed and inconsistent to intentional and effective.

She went from giving away prices in DMs to qualifying prospects properly. From hoping every call would close to trusting that not everyone is ready to buy. From skipping visibility to understanding it's just the entry point of a longer process.

The real breakthrough? Moving from intellectual understanding to actual integration—where these principles become second nature, not something you have to force yourself to remember.

I also reveal why consultants who've built their business on referrals often crash and burn when they start marketing to cold audiences. (Hint: You're treating a microwave like an oven.)

If you're getting leads but they're ghosting you, or you're not sure what to say and when to say it, this episode shows you exactly what needs to shift.

Key Takeaways:

Why sales is a process, not a single action (and what that actually means in practice)
The "right fit and ready" framework for qualifying prospects
How to slow down without losing momentum
The ALEC framework: Awareness, Learning, Engaging, Conversion

How to Get More Clients When Referrals Dry Up

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Celina talks about what to do when referrals slow down and you need a more stable approach to generating clients. She explains that there are two critical groups to focus on: people who already know you (your existing network) and people who don't know you yet (new audiences).

Many consultants assume they've exhausted their existing network, but 95% of the time, there's still untapped opportunity there—especially on LinkedIn.

You'll learn:

• Why your existing network may have stopped sending referrals and how to reactivate those relationships
• How to balance engaging your current contacts with reaching new audiences for sustainable growth
• Why having both strategies creates more opportunity and allows you to be selective about clients

Transcript:

There’s a fair amount of confusion about the word “sales” and when and if this role should become a part of your business.

So as usual I’m going to take out the mystery of this role and break it down for you and get you some clarity.

This is the Thrive Biz Chat, where I cover all the things it takes to run a thriving B2B service-based business.

Today, I’m going to answer the question, “When should I hire a salesperson”?

If you don’t know me already, I’m Celina Guerrero, 90-Day Sales Director.

I help business to business CEOs and consultants break through their current revenue ceiling by leveraging relationship-based sales in their business as a means for increasing revenue.

1. Salespeople bring human conversation to your business.

E-commerce doesn’t really do that. Marketing does it somewhat, but not really.

Usually these days, salespeople are brought in because your potential clients want to have an actual conversation with someone at your business before they buy.

2. Salespeople can go out into the world, identify, start conversations with and close new clients.

3. Devise a strong recruiting and interviewing process with an incentivizing comp plan to attract the right candidates.

4. Create a framework for success that onboards your new sales hire with the right tools and training to ramp up quickly.

The First Thing You Need to Do to Generate Consistent Revenue

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 01:30:00 -0400

If you’re feeling the pressure or desire to create a business that's more sustainable and less chaotic, you need consistent revenue.

Consistent revenue gives you more freedom to take the clients you want, not just the ones you need, (to cover monthly expenses). It allows you to hire a team so you can take time off when you want or need it.

So if you’re not generating consistent revenue now, you'll need to take a closer look at what you’re currently doing so you can make some necessary changes.

In this episode of the Thrive Biz Chat, I’ll discuss the first thing you need to do on your path to creating a calm, steady stream of clients. And a few of the things that follow.
