How I went from zero sales experience, a newborn, and 12-hour shifts to closing major B2B deals—and why I built this course so you can do the same.
I started in retail. Not because I loved it. Not because it was my passion. But because it was what I could get with the schedule I needed.
I was a mom working long shifts. I barely saw my kids. I knew I was capable of more. I just didn’t know what “more” looked like or how to get there.
I had about five years of B2C retail sales experience—selling to moms, teens, brides-to-be. I understood emotional, personal dynamics. But I had zero exposure to the corporate or B2B world. I needed something that paid more and gave me my life back.
Then I saw a job posting.
It was for a customer service role at a company that sold prefabricated structure solutions—and at the time, I didn’t even really know what that meant. But the posting offered flexibility and room to grow.
So I applied. And honestly? I didn’t think I’d get it.
I’ll never forget sitting in that interview, feeling completely out of my depth. The hiring manager asked me about my B2B experience, and I was honest: I had none.
I told them I had about five years of B2C retail experience, that I’m a fast learner, and that I was confident I could provide the level of service they needed. I connected my skillset to both my professional and personal history—how years of navigating emotional, high-stakes conversations had given me the listening, empathy, and problem-solving abilities that B2B demanded.
They gave me a shot. I started in customer service and grew into sales within about a year. That decision changed my life.
I'm not going to sugarcoat it. The first three months were hard. I felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I talked too much on calls. I took every "no" personally. I compared myself to the other reps who seemed to have it all figured out.
I was a woman in an industry dominated by men, coming from B2C retail, with no business degree, no network, and no idea how the B2B world worked. What I had was the ability to listen, to ask questions, and to actually care about solving problems—even when I didn’t realize those were skills.
And here's what I learned: That was enough. More than enough.
People remembered me.
Not because I fit the mold. But because I didn't.
Clients would call back and ask for "the woman who helped us last time." I stood out. And once I stopped seeing that as a disadvantage and started using it to my benefit, everything shifted.
About four months in, something clicked. I stopped trying to sound like everyone else. I stopped using jargon I didn't fully understand. I stopped pretending I had all the answers.
Instead, I started asking better questions. I started really listening to what clients were dealing with. I stopped pitching products and started solving problems.
And the deals started closing.
My first big win:
A hospital system was looking for prefabricated structure solutions for their parking areas. They'd been talking to multiple vendors, and I was convinced we wouldn't get the deal. We were the smallest company. Our product wasn't the cheapest or the flashiest.
But I asked one question that changed everything: "What's driving the need for this right now? Was there a specific incident, or are you planning ahead?"
Turns out, they'd had multiple car break-ins in their employee parking lot. Staff didn't feel safe walking to their cars at night. This wasn't about features or price. It was about solving a real, urgent problem.
I adjusted my entire pitch to focus on safety and peace of mind. We won the deal. And it was a six-figure contract.
I’m still at my company today—closing high-value B2B deals across industries: hospitals, universities, corporations, real estate developers, government agencies, manufacturing facilities, stadiums, parking structures, schools, and more. Industries I knew nothing about when I started. Industries that hired us because of how I communicated, not because I fit some sales stereotype.
But more importantly, I proved to myself that I could do this. That I didn't need to fit a certain mold. That being underestimated could actually work in my favor. That flexibility and income weren't mutually exclusive.
I went from barely seeing my kids to building a career that fits around my life—not the other way around. From doubting whether I was good enough to knowing exactly what I’m capable of. That shift doesn’t happen overnight, but it happens. And it started the moment I said yes to a job I didn’t fully understand yet.
What the job posting actually said:
Customer service. That’s the role I started in. I grew into sales within about a year.
When the hiring manager asked about my B2B experience, I was honest: I had five years of B2C retail, but zero corporate or B2B background. I told them I was a fast learner and that I was confident I could provide the level of service they needed. I connected my skillset to both my professional and personal history.
They gave me a shot. And the rest of my life changed because of it.
Here's what I realized after years in this industry: Most women have no idea these opportunities exist.
They think "sales" means cold calling or car dealerships. They think you need a business degree or a specific personality type. They think it's sleazy or manipulative or not "for them."
But the truth is, there's an entire industry of remote, flexible, high-income sales roles that most people never even apply for because they don't know they're qualified.
And that makes me mad. Because I know how many capable, smart, hardworking women are out there—just like I was—who are stuck in jobs that don't pay them what they're worth.
So I decided to do something about it.
I started helping women transition into B2B sales. Women who didn't have "traditional" backgrounds. Women who were scared but ready. Women who needed someone to believe in them until they could believe in themselves.
And I watched them transform their lives. One by one.
I believe you're already equipped. You've been using sales skills your entire life—you just didn't know it.
I believe you're capable of more than you give yourself credit for. You've handled harder things than learning how to close deals.
I believe you deserve flexibility and income—not one or the other.
And I believe that if someone like me—a new mom running on fumes, working 13-hour shifts, one month postpartum and applying to jobs she didn’t fully understand—can build a successful B2B sales career, then you absolutely can too.
This course is the foundation. It's everything I wish someone had taught me before I started. It's the mindset shifts, the psychology, the real opportunities, and the practical next steps.
But more than that, it's proof that this is possible for you. Not just for other people. For YOU.
So let's do this. Let's build this together.
