Pre-order Kendall's book.


Your calendar doesn’t need more sales calls. It needs better information.

I’m joined by storytelling and sales writing expert Kendall Cherry, and we get surprisingly tactical about the unsexy part of marketing that quietly controls your pipeline: the inquiry form. Kendall explains how she uses a detailed inquiry form to qualify leads, understand budget and readiness, and move straight to a proposal and video walkthrough. The payoff is real: less scheduling chaos, fewer “let’s hop on a call” loops, and a faster path from inquiry to close.

From there, we go deeper into positioning. Kendall breaks down what it actually means to become a category of one when you’re in a crowded field like consulting, coaching, copywriting, or design. We talk about the difference between a vague bucket label and messaging that highlights your distinct process, your real transformation, and the background you may be under-selling. If referrals feel slow or you keep attracting wrong-fit clients, this is the lens that makes your work easier to describe and easier to buy.

We also challenge the default advice to “niche down.” Kendall argues that choosing a market beats shrinking into a narrow industry box, especially for creative, multi-hyphenate consultants who want career longevity. Along the way we touch on energy drain, alignment, and why selling in 2026 and beyond has to feel honest, sustainable, and human.

If you’re coming to the Solo Consultant Summit, don’t miss Kendall’s live inquiry form teardown. Subscribe, share this with a consultant friend, and leave a quick review so more solo consultants can find it.

Booked Out Collective

Speaker Directory

I built the Solo Consultant Summit for anyone tired of a pipeline that runs hot for six weeks and then goes completely dead. I share how I escaped feast-or-famine with a 30-day experiment that closed $97,000, then walk through the exact relationship, lead gen, and sales conversion systems we’re teaching.

• why feast-or-famine happens when relationships and momentum are not maintained
• the 30-day pipeline experiment and what “small tests” can unlock fast
• Solo Consultant Summit dates and who it is for: solo consultants, fractional leaders, B2B service providers
• the three-track order for getting booked out: relationship-led pipeline, lead generation, sales conversion
• track one highlights: building a repeatable relationship-led system, micro events, fixing the “money machine” gaps
• track two highlights: website buyer questions, warm lead mining, email list to revenue
• track three highlights: real sales conversations, keeping leads warm, Kolbe-informed sales systems
• Booked Out Bundle details: $2,500 in resources, life access, premium panel, inquiry form teardown, networking event
• Booked Out Collective scholarship and how ongoing support sustains momentum
• choosing two or three strategies to implement deeply instead of collecting ideas

one clear action is just go register now.

Download the Third Door Playbook

We break down why most B2B sales tactics fail when you can’t reach the decision maker and show how to stop fighting assistants, procurement, and vendor fatigue. We share the Third Door method, gateway offers that lower risk, and niche communities that help trust compound so warm introductions become the default.

• why cold outreach is the most crowded door and how to make outreach warm instead
• the three doors framework for reaching protected decision makers
• practical ways to identify third door connections through events, podcasts, collaborators, and community hosts
• how a gateway offer replaces the risky first retainer pitch with a fast, outcome focused entry point
• a simple gateway offer structure using stakeholder interviews, strategy documentation, and a live review call
• why niche communities are for reputation building rather than pitching
• how to build a target account shortlist using LinkedIn profile views, job posts, and community requests
