COACHING

 I coach entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, consultants, and authors who want to turn their expertise, relationships, and ideas into clearer offers, stronger visibility, and smarter business growth strategies.

You want greater impact and increased income, but with so many ways to grow your business, it can feel hard to know what deserves your attention first.

A book. A podcast. Speaking. Referrals. A stronger offer. Better follow-up. More visibility. A community. A new revenue stream.

The problem is not that you lack ideas. The problem is that your ideas are competing with each other.

When everything feels important, it becomes hard to know what to prioritize, what to postpone, and what to stop doing.

Coaching gives you a strategic partner, a clearer sequence, and a structure for turning your best ideas into focused action.

Ways I Offer Support

There are three ways to work with me, depending on how much strategy, structure, and accountability you need.

90-Minute Strategy Session
A focused session for entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, consultants, and authors who need help making a clear decision, mapping a next step, or pressure-testing an offer, launch plan, sales conversation, visibility strategy, or referral approach.

3-Month Strategic Coaching Sprint
A 12-week coaching engagement for entrepreneurs who need strategy, structure, accountability, and expert guidance as they move one clear business growth priority forward.

6-Month Business Growth Coaching
A longer-term coaching engagement for entrepreneurs seeking strategic support to clarify offers, improve sales conversations, grow visibility, strengthen referral pathways, or turn a book, podcast, event, or community into a business development asset.

These are personalized offerings and are priced accordingly. If you are not sure which option fits, start by reaching out and telling me what you are trying to accomplish.

What Might You Work On?

In my coaching work with entrepreneurs, we focus on the areas where you’d like to grow, which may include:

 

  • Creating a stronger sales conversation framework
  • Clarifying your offers and who they are for
  • Building a more intentional referral network
  • Generating leads through relationships, visibility, and strategic follow-up
  • Growing your authority in your industry
  • Attracting more of the right clients
  • Testing or launching a minimally viable offer
  • Turning a book, podcast, event, or community into a business development tool
  • Creating a visibility plan that supports revenue, not just attention
  • Improving your virtual presentation or facilitation skills
  • Breaking through the bottleneck that is keeping you from the results you want

Why Work With Me

I bring a relationship-based approach to business growth.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy, visibility, offers, referrals, and follow-through. I look for the connections between what you know, who you know, what people already come to you for, and where there may be untapped opportunities for growth.

When the pandemic disrupted my business, I applied the same strategy I now bring to my coaching clients. I identified where I could add value, tested new offers, strengthened my visibility, and built new revenue streams. Within eight months, I reached six figures in revenue from work that had not existed in my business before.

That experience reinforced what I already believed: growth does not come from random tactics. It comes from understanding your relationships, testing ideas with the right people, and building a strategy that connects your expertise to the opportunities around you.

As a business growth strategist, I coach entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, consultants, and authors as they move from ideas to clearer offers, stronger positioning, better conversations, and more strategic revenue opportunities. 

A lot of my work begins with your existing network. Before you build a new offer, write a book, launch a podcast, or create a program, we look at who is already around you: likely prospects, referral partners, collaborators, past clients, and people who can help you test your thinking before you invest too much time in the wrong direction.

For aspiring authors, I packaged this in the Author ROI Lab, which helps speakers and entrepreneurs determine whether writing a book is worth the time, effort, and investment.

If it is, we explore how to create a book that opens doors to speaking engagements, clients, and media opportunities.

In 2019, I gave a TEDx talk about my signature networking strategy for helping people feel seen, heard, and welcomed in professional spaces.

When the world shifted online, I translated my relationship-based approach into virtual events, facilitation, and executive Zoom production, creating new revenue streams and helping clients show up with more strategy and confidence.

How We Work Together

90-minute Strategy Session

A focused strategy session for entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, consultants, and authors who need help making a clear decision, mapping a next step, or pressure-testing an offer, launch plan, sales conversation, referral approach, or visibility strategy.

To make the most of our time together, you’ll complete a questionnaire before our session. With that context in hand, we will work together to identify your highest-impact next step and create a clear action plan based on proven strategies.

What They’re Saying:

“Robbie had a huge impact on both broadening my horizons and driving me to act out of my comfort zone as I launched my book, Future Proof: Reinventing Work in an Age of Acceleration. A great person to work with on scaling your project or business.”

“Thanks, Robbie, for identifying that I needed to increase my networking in order to increase my authority. By following your nudge and advice, I have begun on a path of connectivity. This allowed me to resuscitate a research project. I was blind to how important networking is, and how weak I was at it. But, through your guidance I felt confident enough to ‘tap my network’ to come up with the $25K funding needed for the project. Before this minor transformation, I would have given up on the project when turned down by a foundation as I wouldn’t have known where to get resources. Thank you.”

“I have started a new organization, and am trying to grow my in-house list. As it continues to grow, however, my open rate has decreased, especially for appeal communications. I had an important fundraising email – one that was to be the final push for crowdfunding that could lead to matching grant funding. I really needed the appeal to be successful. So I contacted Robbie Samuels for advice. He suggested a strategy, including a subject line for me to try to bolster my open and click-through rates. So, I created an email blast with an A/B subject line split. The version with Robbie’s subject line and content suggestions far surpassed the original email. Bottom line: We reached our goal in part due to that final push. Robbie gets much of the credit for its success.”

One-on-One Coaching Packages

Coaching is for entrepreneurs who want more than a one-time strategy session.

You may have a specific growth priority in front of you: clarifying an offer, improving your sales conversations, strengthening your referral network, launching a new program, building visibility, writing or marketing a book, starting a podcast, or turning an existing body of work into a stronger business development asset.

The challenge is not simply knowing what to do. The challenge is staying focused long enough to do the right things in the right order.

That is where ongoing coaching helps.

We begin with a 90-minute Vision + Values Strategy Session so we can clarify what matters most, what you are building toward, and which opportunities deserve your attention first.

From there, we meet regularly to review progress, troubleshoot obstacles, refine your strategy, and keep your work connected to the business growth you actually want.

You will have support as you move into the zone of proximal development: that space just outside your comfort zone where meaningful personal and professional growth happens.

What They’re Saying:

“I hired Robbie to help me with an idea I wanted to turn into a business. Then the pandemic hit. Robbie helped me rethink everything and then put entirely new pieces in place to launch it. I have now put in place so much of what I’ve wanted to accomplish to set my business up for success – including strategic moves I would never have chosen to do on my own if he hadn’t urged me. I could not have done this without Robbie’s guidance. He was supportive yet frank, and he kept me accountable to my own vision. Everything I’ve done looks professional and adheres to best practices, which I never could have achieved on my own. I strongly recommend working with Robbie to get your business set up and launched right.”

Client Example: From One-to-One to Greater Visibility

Tammy Gooler Loeb had a successful practice as a career and executive coach for 18 years. As she neared 60, she wanted to share her experience and knowledge beyond individual client work.

She was excited about hosting a podcast because it would give her content to share, help her build relationships with guests, and establish greater authority in her field.

At the same time, she had not yet developed a specific niche or built an engaged email list. With a thriving coaching practice, she also needed support in finding the time, structure, and strategy to focus on business growth.

Over a six-month period, Tammy increased her rates by 50% and reduced her client hours by 20%.

The result: she began attracting more of her ideal clients, freed up two half-days to focus on her business, launched her podcast “Work From The Inside Out,” and later published a book by the same name.

“When I saw the opportunity to join this program, I thought, I’ve got to do this. I know it will benefit me. The things that it opened up for me in terms of insights were beyond what I had expected.”

“What to say about Robbie! That’s a tall order. He’s a one-off. A valuable sounding board, way ahead of the game, Robbie intuitively knew how to zero in on this particular issue and helped me change my story, dismantle my thinking. The best part? I walked away absolutely optimistic. What could be better than that. Thanks Robbie. Kudos!”
