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.

I started my business by creating the brand SavingsAngels.com - which we scaled to over $6 Million in sales with zero paid ads. I realized that there had to be a better way to build success for businesses.

In 2019, I created our unique B2B Sales System that started working incredible well for our own business. So naturally, people started to ask for PR help. When our first client scored six figures in sales in 90 days without paid ads, we realized we had something extremely powerful in our hands.

That's when we created our programs that have now taken hundreds of clients to build incredibly profitable success & authority through our proprietary system.

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.
