Your modelled opportunity

Additional sales revenue

$60,000

24 more sales per year, from the same lead volume.

Additional gross profit after direct delivery costs$30,000
Time capacity value 156 hours freed per year$7,800
Improvement cost your optional cost assumption$0
Combined modelled valueGross profit + time value − cost$37,800

Time saved is capacity, not necessarily a cash saving. Revenue is not profit. This is a scenario based on your inputs, not a forecast or guaranteed result.

How the numbers work

Additional monthly revenue = qualified leads × (target close rate − current close rate) × average sale value. Rates are converted to decimals. Annual figures use 12 months.

Additional gross profit = additional revenue × gross margin. Annual time value = weekly hours saved × 52 × hourly value. Monthly time value is annual time value ÷ 12.

Combined value adds additional gross profit and time capacity value, then subtracts your improvement cost. Set time saved to zero if its value is already included in your profit estimate. The model assumes the target is maintained for the whole period; it excludes ramp-up, seasonality, tax, cash-collection timing and costs you haven’t entered. For recurring contracts, use one consistent contract value per new customer; the result is booked sales value, not ARR or cash received. Calculator inputs stay in your browser unless you submit them with a brief. Displayed figures are rounded.

Sales Friction Check

Where does
the momentum go?

A full pipeline can hide a lot of unfinished business. Check six everyday habits and leave with a practical plan for the next seven days.

This interactive check needs JavaScript. Start by reviewing your lead fit, discovery, proposals, next steps, coaching and lessons from recent deals. Talk it through with Owen ↗

How your priorities are chosen

This is a reflection tool, not an industry score or a revenue forecast. The circle counts only the habits you mark “Consistently”. Unanswered questions do not count as weak habits. Once all six are answered, “Not yet” and “Not sure” take priority, followed by “Sometimes”. “Not sure” generates an evidence check. Ties follow the order shown, from lead fit to learning. Your plan covers up to three priorities. If everything is consistent, it suggests checks to validate those habits.

Conversation Lab

Train the bit
that actually happens.

Good sales training should survive contact with a real prospect. Choose the moment your team keeps tripping over and try a cleaner move.

Less script. More judgement.

We work on the questions, language and habits that make a sales conversation feel useful rather than performed.

Build this around my team
THE MOMENTDiscovery focus

Stop interviewing. Start understanding.

“Tell me a bit about what you’re looking for.” It’s harmless, but it invites a polite brochure tour. Ask something that makes the problem specific.

Try this move“What made this worth looking at now?”
Curiosity before qualification.Use this in a workshop
WORKSHOP OUTPUTA team that knows what good sounds like.Live practice · call review · playbooks · manager follow-through
A WORKING SESSION, BUILT AROUND YOUR TEAM

Bring the conversation you keep losing.

We take a real sales moment, pull apart where it stalls and practise a better way through it. Your team leaves with language it has actually used, a short playbook and a manager follow-up plan.

What’s getting in
the way of growth?

Commercial problems rarely stay in one department. Start with what feels familiar. We’ll connect the dots.

Sales & follow-through

Make more of the conversations you already have.

Look at what happens between the first enquiry and the decision. Clear qualification, useful discovery and a real next step can make the whole process easier to manage.

  • Review the pipeline and recent sales conversations
  • Clarify qualification, objections and the next step
  • Build a follow-up approach the team will use
One useful starting point

Look at your last five promising enquiries. Where did each conversation stop?

Client technology & digital systems

Real sites.
Real moving parts.

Bloom doesn’t stop at the strategy deck. I build the digital system that carries the work: websites, forms, calculators, content, integrations, practical automation and the domain and deployment work that puts it live.

WebsitesFormsCalculatorsContent systemsIntegrationsAutomationDomains & deployment
What this means for a client: strategy, copy and implementation stay connected — rather than handing the plan to three different people and hoping the pieces eventually meet.

The work

A useful plan.
And the hands to build it.

The commercial thinking and the practical work belong together. Pick the support you need, without assembling a whole department.

A few useful answers

Before we talk.

Do I need to know exactly what’s wrong?

No. Start with what you’re seeing: enquiries that go quiet, a message that takes too long to explain, or a team pulling in different directions. We can work out where to look first.

Can you help with one specific project?

Yes. That could be a sales review, a workshop, positioning work, a website or a set of commercial assets. The scope should fit the problem.

Do you do the work as well as advise?

Yes. Alongside the consulting, I can build websites, tools and content, work on outreach and help the team improve the sales conversation. We agree what is included before starting.

How are projects priced?

Pricing follows the scope, deliverables and level of support. We’ll discuss what’s needed and agree the work and cost before you commit. Calculator inputs are your assumptions, not a quote.

Are the calculator results guaranteed?

No. It models the targets and assumptions you enter. It helps frame a conversation about the opportunity; it doesn’t establish what your business will achieve or what Bloom will charge.

Where I work

Rooted in the County.
Useful wherever you are.

Work together in Prince Edward County or Toronto when being in the room adds value. Strategy, workshops and delivery are available remotely across Canada.
