Sales
Mastery
Startup sales school for moneymaking brands.
“You have the product, but not the sales to make your business a raging success.
”
You’ve done all the things — got a website up, created your product or offer, you’re being social on social media, but nothing’s catching.
Nothing’s sparking that wave of customers who are throwing their credit cards at you.
You don’t know what’s going to turn the ship around, but you do know that the image of customers throwing their credit cards at you just got you excited.
You want sales to feel easier than the struggle you’re feeling now.
You want sales for your business to feel figure-out-able, so that all you have to do is press play whenever you want more money to come through the door.
You’re worried that you’re going to have to give up this business if you don’t figure this out fast.
“Welcome to Sales Mastery an online program that’ll transform your sales slump into a sales jump.
”
Who This Is For
“Sales Mastery is for entrepreneurs who don’t have a backup plan.
”
Your business is Plan A, Plan B, the backup plan, and the backup’s backup plan. You’re all in and you’re not afraid to say it.
That’s why getting your sales formula nailed down is so important to you.
You want to get so good at selling that you can build an empire selling a $4 pet rock (real person, real business).
You are a diehard fan of your business and you know that it’ll soar as soon as you get the right sales engine behind it.
Your business looks like a product or service business with a good chunk of your sales coming in through your online store.
You’ve made some sales but you know that you’re not doing something right or are missing a big piece because you’re pushing hard and not seeing much in results.
Does This Sound Like You?
“01
You’re On Fire For Change
You feel a thirst in your throat when you see brands just make an announcement on Instagram and then get flooded with sales on their shop. You want that. Badly.
”
“02
You’re Hustling To Sell Your Product
You’ve sold your products/services on platforms like Etsy, Upwork, or at events but you’re getting tired of all the pushing. You want customers to come to you for once rather than constantly searching for them.
”
“03
All Famine No Feast
You’re hitting a sales ceiling and you’re not quite sure how to get above it or you’re in feast or famine mode all the time. You’re barely skirting by and you want to make your dream sales goal every month, consistently.
”
This Is Not For You If
“❌ You’re looking for an overnight roadmap to make $10K in a month (quick money does not translate into a monthly revenue strategy).
”
❌ You don’t plan on having your online store be a large part of your sales strategy.
❌ You’re not open to trying new things that may take you out of your comfort zone.
The Transformation
“Here’s the transformation waiting for you once you enroll in Sales Mastery.
✔️ Create an ironclad sales plan that’ll set your business up for the next 12-18 months.
”
✔️Get out of famine mode and generate sales consistently month-to-month.
✔️Gain sales leads that show up on your online store’s doorstep even when you’re not selling anything. Waitlist anyone?
✔️ Hit play whenever. Sales is no longer a mystery to you and you know how to bring more revenue through the door when you need it.
✔️ Dump the customers giving you gray hairs and little love. You no longer have to say yes to every money-making opportunity that comes your way.
Student Transformations
6 Weeks Of Sales Mastery
Myths and Mindset | Week 1
We’ll start off by first cleaning house of common sales myths you may have been told, and how to get your money mindset in tip-top shape so that your path is clear for selling success.
You’ll learn what new businesses typically get wrong when it comes to selling, the unnecessary mental battles entrepreneurs put themselves through, and how you can craft a non-sleazy selling approach.
Customer Bullseye | Week 2
Most startups know who their customers are, but they speak about them and to them very broadly.
They tiptoe around the customer with uninteresting content and communication, making it undesirable for the customer to build a bond with the brand. During this week, we’ll hone in on your target customer and begin building the foundation of an irresistible marketing plan.
Memorable Marketing | Week 3
We’ll talk about funnel math and why numbers have anything to do with creating a working marketing plan.
You’ll get a crash course on all the marketing channels your business needs based on its sales objective, what truly doesn’t work in a startup marketing plan despite what all the online gurus say, and the formula you can use to continuously craft a marketing plan that produces results for your business.
We get into the nitty gritty of marketing and sales funnels, funnel math, and creating magnetizing content in a way you haven’t experienced it before.

A Realistic Sales Plan | Week 5
You’ll craft a sales plan that’s completely customized to your business, your current financial and time investment realities, and set up a realistic sales plan that’ll bring in money through the door ASAP.
You’ll be able to use and roll out this sales plan for the next 12-18 months, or even longer if it’s really killing it.
This is the week when you let out a huge sigh of relief because you have a clear GPS telling you when to turn, what you should expect to see results wise, and when you’ll arrive at your final destination.
Financials and Pricing Basics | Week 6
Getting good at sales requires knowing your numbers, and knowing what to do with the money after you get a bunch of sales in. We’ll go through pricing basics to make sure that you’re making a profit off of each purchase, how to reinvest that money into your business, and how to tweak your sales plan after some real-world feedback and adjustments.
We’ll also create 5-year financial projections for your business so that your pricing makes sense for your trajectory and so that you can see what kind of money you need to bring in to hire a team, and expand.
Who You’re
Working With
“Hi, my name is Sophia and I’m the founder of Ascent Strategy.
I sold my first company at the age of 22, I’m a third-time entrepreneur, and I’ve been in the startup game for 14 years. I’ve been named a Forbes 30 Under 30 and an All-Star Alumna, and received the Fred Alger Finance Award.
I’ve been in the weeds building my own startups, so my expertise goes beyond the theory—I’ve sold products and services both the old school and new school way — in-person at high-traffic events, to wholesale clients, and online.
I sold my first business, which had products in 250 retailers worldwide, and have been consistently building and scaling sales formulas for 6-figure startups ever since.
Selling in-person and online are two completely different animals that require nuance and tact so I’m excited to share my experience with you and see your business thrive.
