A true guru of sales, Julie Steelman has been rocking the sales industry for more than 15 years. With a list of past clients that includes such heavy-hitters as Microsoft, Apple, Honda, Nissan, and Sony Pictures, Julie has proven that her sales strategies are effective across the board. An award-winning sales manager and avid public speaker, Julie attributes her success in sales to confidence—and yes, inner peace. “When you have confidence in your product and confidence in yourself, you can sell anything. It’s all about framing your approach so that it matches your style!” says Julie. By adapting her methods to meet your needs, Julie is able to match your sales strategy with your personality—creating a perfect fit every time.

Having helped to launch numerous start-ups, Julie has also acquired the distinctive title of the “queen of new business.” As she worked towards earning her master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica, she discovered that some of her own fears and quirks were blocking her way to über-success. “Many women see selling/being influential as confrontation—but it’s really all about your approach to the idea of sales that can make all the difference. My mantra is simple: If the client knew what I know, they would buy. Once I work with someone to develop her own unique approach, it stops being about confrontation and becomes more about educating her clients.”

Julie’s methodology revolves around a simple strategy: develop meaningful bonds with your contacts to create easy access to the decision makers who will determine your success. It doesn’t matter if you are in sales or not, you are selling your ideas and opinions for personal gain. 

In her workshops, Julie works with her clients to hone their personal influence style, so that selling becomes a flowing, easy conversation, rather than a strained and awkward situation. “Once we determine your personal sales strategy, you’ll find that your whole perception of what ‘sales’ is will change,” says Julie. “Then it’s just about relaxing and having fun!”

Julie’s recent success has allowed her to be her own boss and to pursue her other passion—filming the underwater world. When she’s not traveling and deep sea diving with her husband, Julie enjoys focusing on helping other women achieve their dreams of success and free themselves from struggle or strife!
