Scaling Your Business to 6 Figures in Sales with Stephanie Scheller of Grow Disrupt
Show Notes
Stephanie Scheller is the sales expert, the business disruptor, fighting through the tempests. She is the AntiFool.

How do you close a sale at 6 figures? 7 figures? How do you reach that scale for your business? In this episode I want to talk about sales, closing in revenue for your business.

To achieve that level of scalability, we'll need to learn how to separate ourselves from our business as we grow. How do you do that? Who better to learn about this from than Stephanie Scheller.

Stephanie is the founder of Grow Disrupt, a sales training practice based in Texas. It grew in less than 18 months to become the largest, most active sales training practice in the area. As a TEDx speaker, host of the Black Belt Selling Podcast, and a two-time best-selling author, Stephanie's mission is to disrupt the way the world does business.

In this episode, we talked about:
  • How she went from taking care of horses to starting up her sales training business
  • Why business owners fail to scale from 5 figures to 6
  • The five points you need to get disruptive growth
  • The change in roles and why you have to step back to scale
Enjoy!
