    I recently had the pleasure of participating in Penny's sales training program and I can't express how transformative the experience has been for me. From start to finish, this training demystified the entire sales process.

    What truly set this training apart was how it managed to make sales feel less "gross" and turned it from a touchy subject into an approachable and essential skill. Penny emphasized the importance of authentic relationships and genuine connections in the sales process which resonated deeply with me. 

    It was nice to see that sales is more about helping people find solutions rather than pushing products or services on them.

    Penny is so refreshing in her approach to Freelancing - she dispels many myths about all of the things that you thought were "Essential" and boils down what are the activities that will actually grow your business as a freelancer! You'll leave this course feeling energised with refined processes that simplify your business rather than feeling overwhelmed that you have to learn a million different new platforms/ tools in order to be successful! Penny has such a different approach to structuring her work and life which truly serves her and there's a lot to learn from her mindset! Thanks again Penny!

    SFF was a great relief for me. Working with clients as a service provider has always been tricky, but things get a lot easier with clear steps to follow. For me, the clarity on the 4-step process along with the resources and templates was the biggest win for me, as I really feel that will make a big difference in my sales process and I can't wait to put it into practice. I recommend this course for anyone who needs clarity and perspective on how to present yourself and your business value to new leads with confidence and consistency.

    Jakub Michalski

    Attending Penelope's sales training for freelancers was a game-changer for me. Transitioning from corporate life to running my own business, I always found sales intimidating. But Penelope's approach demystified it entirely. The training was jargon-free and provided a safe environment to practice with an incredibly supportive group. Now, I’m not only confident about the sales process, but it feels genuinely personal and authentically me. I can't recommend this training enough!

    Marie-Christine Messier

    With Penny's extensive firsthand experience as a successful solopreneur, she provided me with invaluable insights to kickstart my freelancing journey. What sets Penny apart is her hands-on approach; she doesn't just share advice, she equips you with actionable solutions that yield real results when applied. Thanks to her, I've not only gained the knowledge I needed but also the practical skills to thrive in my freelancing career. I can't recommend Penny enough – she's a game-changer!

    Sales for Freelancers will help you close more projects and raise your prices! It has my highest recommendation and should be required immediately after you get your company set up. I've used what I learned to simplify my packaging and sales process. I am already seeing those results in my bank account. I've also been watching as my peers from the class get more clients in the door thanks to Penny's clear, effective process. We all cannot stop raving about what a genius Penny is! Book yourself into this class stat.

    Frances Chapireau

    I made a somewhat spontaneous decision to join Penny's Sales for Freelancers course and I am really glad I did. Penny really knows what she is doing. The atmosphere in the training was relaxed, the group was supportive and friendly, and Penny herself is very approachable. She packs a lot of content into a short amount of time, but there was also plenty of time for questions. I learnt a lot and it's given me the shove I needed to organise my sales approach. Thank you, Penny!

    Ben Rouse

    Sales for freelancers was perfect for me as a facilitator who thought funnels, lead magnets and paid ads were something I had to figure out. Penny quickly showed this was not necessary and that I was actually doing sales in a way that felt comfortable. The course helped build out the full approach I needed to be confident with managing sales as a freelancer. Highly recommend you find a cohort to join if you are building up your freelance work to a sustainable level.

  • Audrey Thouvenin

    Attending Penny's class proved to be a great investment—truly worth every cent. The weekly rhythm, manageable assignments, and program length seamlessly integrated into my packed schedule. I particularly appreciated the simplicity, authenticity, and practicality of the content and templates provided. Those two-hour sessions quickly became the highlight of my week, seamlessly blending learning with networking opportunities. Overall, it was an enjoyable and enriching experience!

    Lina Robayo

    This course is something I enjoyed in every sense! The content was on point, having access to Penny's expertise was invaluable, the exercises were super useful and the community was very engaging. I can only thank Penny for putting this together and making it accessible. So if you want to be a freelancer and don't know where to start, this is definitely a good place to get some initial things clear for yourself and to become more confident!

    Lauren Dixon

    Sales for Freelancers with Penny is the right sales training for you if you want to actually sell true consulting services. The mythbusting of common sales tropes that you've probably come across trying to sell services or build a business in the digital age is so valuable. Penny is very grounded and down to earth, her advice is tangible and achievable and taking this course is a huge validation and boost to my confidence. Thanks Penny!

    Edite Landena

    You know it's a great course when you leave a lesson knowing how to incorporate the learnings in your day-to-day work already tomorrow. Penny not only gives tangible knowledge and frameworks but does it with much passion and care. There's plenty of opportunity for feedback not only from her but also from the group - everyone's very invested and highly motivated which was a huge inspiration on its own!

    Renate Matroos

    A very hands-on sales training to improve your current way of working. The practical approach made me excited to work on my company again and allowed me to improve internal processes in just a few weeks. I spoke to my target audience and used these insights as a discovery and at times confirmation. I created new templates for client onboarding on Mural and as I'm writing this I'm in the process of updating all my decks.

    Alis Yasiuchynskaya

    Penny's Sales Training that I attended was absolutely outstanding. The high quality of the content and the interactive design not only provided me with valuable knowledge, but also opened up new perspectives. The intensive exchange with the other participants made the learning experience even more inspiring. I can recommend this training without reservation.

    Janna Carlson

    Penny's Sales For Freelancers course was EXACTLY what I needed at this point in my business. We are starting to pitch to larger clients, and I wasn't feeling confident in my ability to navigate the sales process involved. Now, just four weeks later, I feel confident that I have the tools to pitch - AND WIN - larger contracts in the coming year.

    Katie Tucker

    Penny's course is brilliant. She is a knowledgeable and engaging teacher. She shares her experience generously and is happy to give personal feedback on issues and questions you may have. I feel so much more confident with my sales process - the course provides templates and step by step recommendations.

This program is designed to support freelancers, solopreneurs, and self-employed folks who are ready to sell their services with more clarity and confidence.

That said, it might not be the right fit if:

You want 20 qualified leads by the end of the program, or you're looking for shortcuts, hacks, or quick wins. This is about building a skillset and a sustainable approach as opposed to tips and tricks. Although there will be a few of those 😉

You have absolutely no experience in your field. Everyone has to start somewhere, and it's great that you're stepping into a new space! But it's important that you have at least some track record of delivering your core service before investing in this program. This isn’t a course on how to do the work, it’s about selling what you already know how to do 💥

You're looking for shortcuts, hacks, or quick wins. This is about building a skillset and a sustainable approach as opposed to tips and tricks. Although there will be a few of those 😉

You've done a million sales or marketing courses and are feeling burned out and overwhelmed with advice. Take some time out and come back when you're ready to make a genuinely impactful change to your approach 🩵

You don't have the capacity to implement what you'll learn in the course. Some methods and strategies can be applied immediately, but others will take more time and effort. That's cool! Everything worth doing takes some time and effort 💪

  • Nick Forsberg

    Penny has had a huge impact on how to grow my freelance consultancy. Loads of amazing tips and hacks to refining your USP and building a valuable network. She blends her vast experience, knowledge zero bull, approachability, humour and empathy to create the perfect cocktail! Highly recommend!

    Keri McGeehan

    Penny made sales and marketing simple to understand. She was friendly, approachable, non judgemental and an expert in her field. Thank you for sharing your fabulous wisdom and I look forward to applying everything I have learned.

    Ines Baricevic

    I absolutely loved Penny's approach in making the scary world of sales look and feel simple and easy to implement. The course removed the belief that sales is something only some people can do and encouraged me to do it in my own way

    Benny Zuffolini

    Penny has an incredible talent in merging the sales process with genuine connection and deepening relationships, in a way that is ethical and respectful and easy to stomach for people who are new to the concept!

    Penny is very knowledgeable about freelance sales and helped me understand the step by step in the sales process so I can be more confident in my approach.
