RELATIONSHIPS


I BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS A MESSAGE THAT CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT THE WORLD

I help thoughtful business leaders to completely book out their sales calendar with high-level, premium customers and partners, by leveraging their authority and harnessing the power of relationships.❤️

If you have authority in your industry, STOP competing with amateurs in the 'red ocean' of spammy lead generation. Lead with generosity instead.

I founded my last company SavingsAngel.com - which I scaled to 7-figures in annual sales with zero paid ads. I truly believe like Robert Stephens, founder of GeekSquad who said, "Advertising is the tax you pay for being unremarkable." I chose, instead, to lead in generosity through more than 2,500 media appearances. 🤩

Armed with remarkable success in PR, I served pro-bono in my local startup community - mostly with military-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned small businesses - helping to co-create the same success I had for many years. This led to unintentionally launching UpMyInfluence in 2014 as a media consulting and PR agency.

After a few short years, we discovered that our approach to gaining PR for clients was far more valuable in gaining them sales and growing consistent and predictable revenue.

When our first B2B sales client scored six figures in sales in 90 days without paid ads, we realized we had something extremely powerful in our hands. 🤯

We've since helped hundreds of clients build consistent and predictable B2B sales by leveraging their authority, generosity, and platform.

We leverage authority, generosity, and platform to fill your sales schedule with clients that are otherwise immune to traditional lead generation marketing tactics.

ALISSA NOLAN

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Alissa Nolan can best be described as a straight-shooting, direct, and to-the-point personality type. She has an aversion to spontaneity and plans her life down to the Nth degree, except this bio. She’s writing this completely unplanned and off-the-cuff.

Alissa likes to be in charge and she’s the most laid-back bossy person around. Her children say that mom’s disappointment is the worst punishment ever since she clearly strives for excellence and expects it in those around her.

Alissa has worked for Makita Power Tools and United Way. Most recently she was the Command Family Ombudsman for Riverine Squadron Three where she served as the family liaison for over 250 families. She has been with UpMyInfluence since October of 2017 and loves to serve their clients whenever she isn't holding the company together with her bookeeping and human resource superpowers.

In her spare time, Alissa is the genealogist for Clan Macneil USA, a Scottish heritage group. She travels frequently with her youngest daughter who dances competitive ballroom.
