About Scott Hartley

Serial entrepreneur and founder of MasterPlan4Sucess, Scott Hartley understands the challenges small business owners face. He knows what it’s like to wear all the hats in a business. Like you, he discovered there were aspects to running a business few entrepreneurs talk about -taxes, payroll, insurance, hiring (and firing!) employees, and marketing, to name a few.

Scott built his first company into a multi six-figure business from scratch. It involved much hard work and hours upon hours of study and implementation. Through much trial and error, he discovered what worked to grow his business, as well as what didn’t.

Taking his knowledge and experience, in 2017, Scott decided to help other small business owners shortcut their path to success by helping them with marketing strategies, systems and automation.

He has helped attorneys, IT consultants, financial advisors, psychologists, bakers, community organizations, and many others make more money and get and keep more customers without feeling overwhelmed and overworked.

Scott has been privileged to share the virtual stage with experts like Grant Cardone, Loral Langemeier, Kim Walsh Phillips, David Milton, Dr. Anthony Criniti IV, and others. He has been mentored by Craig Ballantyne, Frank Kern, Dan Kennedy, Tony Robbins, and other business experts throughout the years.

In his free time, Scott enjoys being outside in nature, reading, traveling, playing piano and keyboard, and spending time with friends. Scott recently sang at the famed Carnegie Hall in New York City in May 2022 as part of a national choir led by world renowned composer/conductor Pepper Choplin.

 

Secret LinkedIn Strategies to Get Clients – Even If You Are New to Sales.

Are you at a loss for how to find and convert leads on LinkedIn? Maybe you have sent InMails or you made offers to connections via Messenger only to hear crickets. Or if you have tried to use Sales Navigator and are frustrated by its complexity, then it’s time to start selecting your leads rather than chasing them.

In this workshop we will cover:

  • Connect with your ideal client avatar using the LinkedIn Profile OptimizerTM
  • Make leads raise their hands for your offer via the LinkedIn Events Appointment FunnelTM
  • Move sales conversations to a meeting (in person or on Zoom)

LinkedIn is 277% more effective at generating leads than Facebook and Twitter. But the psychology is unique – and in this workshop, you will learn the secret sales strategies that LinkedIn does not want you to know. 

At the end of the workshop, you will have the tools to make your first sales within a month, including:

  • Proven sales process
  • Sales scripts that convert
  • Conversion strategy

Secret LinkedIn Strategies to Get Clients work even if you have not sold on LinkedIn before and especially when you only have a few connections.

My client Tom used this exact approach and signed his first small business client within three weeks. So can you!

Sales Mastery

I was born to be in sales.

I started selling as a kid – it’s funny what I’d do to win a Trapper Keeper – or what I’ll do today for a $25 gift card. I’m a sucker for contests.

Today, I’m the President and founder of Skillway, where we teach people to CRUSH their sales goals and love what they do! We're a relationship-based sales coaching, sales training, and strategic coaching firm serving our clients nationwide.

I’ve spent my entire career in sales, sales management, and sales training. I love being in the field and the classroom. It’s an even balance between seeing our clients win and taking pride in being a salesperson.

I've trained tens of thousands of salespeople and spent over 3,500 hours training in a classroom setting. I’ve coached hundreds of sales producers and leaders in all industries and spent over 5,000 hours coaching producers and executives one-on-one.
