Julia Kline

Sales, the sales process and effective selling techniques are always a good topic to explore in your small business marketing. And we have an expert that can guide you in sleaze-free selling.

Julia Kline is a master of success, with diverse accomplishments in numerous industries throughout her career.  She was in the top 1% of the worldwide sales force with Mary Kay Cosmetics, became a Titanium Power Seller on eBay (meaning she grossed $100,000 per month or more in sales), built a multi-million-dollar real estate investment portfolio, has been invited to speak to small business audiences around the world, and most recently published the acclaimed Amazon bestseller, “The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Sleaze-Free Selling.”

What sets Julia apart as a new breed of speaker and business leader is her intuitive, transformational approach to business and sales. She mesmerizes audiences with her dynamic blend of both raw power and authentic vulnerability.  She slips effortlessly between an analytical breakdown of an optimized sales funnel one minute, to an intuitive – even channeled – message for the audience the next.

In these times of rapid, evolutionary change and financial uncertainty, opportunities still abound for the small business entrepreneur.  But increasingly, success requires entrepreneurs to journey authentically inward, in order to emerge and make an authentic connection outward with customers, advertisers and promoters.  Julia models this process to a T, and also provides a step by step path that other business owners can follow to achieve the same result. She does this through her live speaking appearances, online group coaching and private consulting practice. To learn more about Julia and her work,visit her website at IntuitiveBusinessWoman.com
