"I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dora Rankin for her outstanding workshop, The Heart Sell. Our clients found the content to be both valuable and actionable. The insights and strategies shared were incredibly helpful, and I cannot recommend this program enough to SBDCs and their clients. Thank you, Dora, for your expertise and dedication to helping small businesses succeed."

BETH GANTS, SBDC Director

Imagine celebrating wins like these with your clients or sales team...

We know businesses do better with a plan.

Maybe there is a business plan, fiscal plan, marketing plan, and operations plan.

But REVENUE COMES FROM SALES.

Where is the sales plan?

Not a 'sales and marketing' section of an all in one growth platform or business plan. A sales plan clients or teams can take action on every single week to meet - and exceed - their revenue goals. A sales plan that they can customize and co-create with you. That they (and you!) can monitor, measure, and optimize - without fancy tech tools.

If you do not have a simple, straightforward roadmap to revenue, clients will eventually have to look elsewhere for support, or sales team performance will suffer. The Heart Sell Sales Advisor Academy gives you the training and resources you need to consistently deliver measurable outcomes for clients or sales teams at any phase and in any industry.

It will be nearly impossible to support sustainable business growth without a sales plan based on a proven method for market activation.

If you really want to set your people up for success, this is for you.

If your clients or sales team are leaving money on the table, you are too!

It is common for a business to rely on marketing, social media, or simply having a sales team to grow - but without a sales plan and accountability for a supporting process, they will be losing out on 6-7 figures of revenue each year. 

It gets easier to make money when you are able to help others make more money.

Too many businesses fail because revenue is unpredictable.

Business owners often have some anxiety about where clients will come from. How they will make payroll. How they will fund their growth. How they will meet the expectations of investors. 

If there isn't a sales plan.

They may run out of money, they may run out of leads, they may simply burn out.

We share the same mission.

Let's move past high level tactics and concepts and help business owners, especially women and BIPOC entrepreneurs, increase income and impact.

My $100k months came before I had funnels, marketing support, or a bunch of social media followers. 

My clients and I aren't attached to our phones or worried about algorithms. We meet revenue goals thanks to clarity, confidence, and heart-centered hard work. If we can do it, your clients can too.

The key to more funding, to more innovation, to more impact...is sales.

Are you ready to learn how to get your clients more?

If you follow the process in The Heart Sell Sales Advisor Academy program, your clients or sales team can make $100k quarters, months and contracts their new normal.

Working with Dora was transformative for me, especially when I transitioned to full-time in my business. I was initially scattered in my approach, especially regarding our services and team dynamics. Dora's guidance was instrumental in refining our offerings, reorganizing our team structure, and making some challenging but necessary decisions.
One key area Dora helped me with was understanding the value we provide to clients and the workload we handle. This led to a significant increase in our deal size – from an average of $35K to a range of $70K-250K. She also coached me on setting boundaries within the team, allowing me to focus more on VIP clients and business development, and trained my COO in business development strategies.
We collaborated for 6 months, meeting bi-weekly. My sessions with Dora were focused on problem-solving and strategic advice, which suited my preference for a hands-off approach without micro-management.

READY TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ADVISORY TO THE NEXT LEVEL?

Hey! I'm Dora.

Formerly known as the chic who got women capital to grow their businesses when they couldn’t get it from the bank.

When I left corporate for a leadership role with a brand new Fintech start-up, we were an unknown company with an unknown product (debt crowdfunding), in a new market. I knew I had to make it work. I was determined to get more money in the hands of minority and women business owners by selling this mysterious new product to people who didn’t know it - or our company - existed.
Today, my mission is born of these same roots. I do what I do to get more money in the hands of more women, especially BIPOC women. I walk women who may not be known, who are selling products that may be new to their most exciting potential clients, possibly even exploring new markets, through the same process I used then - to eventually get to where I am now. Where $100k months are made possible with strategic sales, lead generation and marketing planning. If I can teach loan officers sales and lead gen, I can teach you too!

Illustration

I’m still that chic. Empowering women to live their purpose and own their economic power.

I love helping women increase their earnings and grow their businesses so they can make more impact. The Heart Sell is my way of making sure that the methods I have honed over the past two decades are available to as many business owners as possible - especially women!

I love helping women increase their earnings and grow their businesses so they can make more impact. So much so that I wrote a book about it, The Heart Sell: A Guide For Women Entrepreneurs Seeking Financial Freedom.

The Heart Sell is my way of making sure that the methods I have honed over the past two decades are available to as many business owners as possible - especially women! The Heart Sell Sales Advisor Academy is my way of ensuring that my impact isn't limited to my personal client roster. That success is shared with the world's leading sales advisors and organizations. That sales brings us back to our innate human desire to foster relationships. And that those relationships make us all more prosperous and powerful.

This is more than a training program. It's a movement.

What I love most about working with Dora is that what she’s helping me build is not based on chance, but rather creating building blocks to actually develop a sales plan that is rooted in conversation, connection and mutually aligned value.
The result of these conversations so far?
● A TEDx talk● Speaking on a panel with a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate● 3 closed contracts in process in a week● People who are excited to work with me● Around 7 new conversations per week of people wanting to collaborate/connect
Dora gave me the confidence to say let’s give this a go and I look back and think thank God I didn’t try to do this by myself. I can’t wait to see what’s next for me, I couldn’t be luckier to know that I get to hop on a call with Dora at the end of the week to help me get clarity on the next steps!!!

Expert sales advisory or sales team leadership can be your calling card sooner than you think.

Your clients/team will love the methods I will teach you if they:

    Crave a business built on authentic and mutually beneficial relationships
    Don't like sleazy, high-pressure sales or marketing tactics
    Are committed and eager to do the work required to level up

Your clients may not be a fit for my methods if they:

    Are not ready or willing to take action
    Insist on prioritizing marketing, social media and shiny objects over sales
    See business as purely a money play - my people love to make money, but are also acutely purpose driven
