1:1 coaching · 6 months

You have the offer. Now build the system that brings clients in.

Six months of 1:1 coaching for internationals who've started their business and know what they sell, but don't yet have a reliable way to reach buyers and turn them into clients.

Only 1 to 2 new clients each month Start when it suits you

In 6 months you'll have:

  • A client acquisition system built for your business, B2C or B2B, that you can keep up week after week
  • A targeted list of potential clients, and a clear route to reach them
  • Messaging that makes your offer easy to understand and say yes to
  • A content and outreach routine that starts real conversations
  • Sales conversations you know how to open, lead and follow up
Grace signed 6 paying clients and earned around €9,000 in 3 months, about 4 times her coaching investment. Line had a client on a retainer before we finished working together.
sounds familiar?

You're good at what you do. Clients still aren't coming in steadily.

“My offer gets interest, but people aren't seeing enough value to say yes.”

“Most of my business comes through referrals. Great when they come in, but super stressful when they don't.”

“I'm visible. I'm posting. So why aren't clients coming to me for my services?”

“My network is in another country. Here, nobody knows my name yet.”

These are the moments the six months are built for.

hey, it's Val

You've done the part most people never do: you started. You know what you offer, and you may have had your first clients. But they came through friends, ex-colleagues or luck, and you can't say where the next one will come from.

So you post for a while, send a few messages, take a call, then it goes quiet again. It isn't your expertise or your offer that's missing. It's a system that gets you through the door consistently, and one that works for you, not someone else's playbook.

Val

is this you?

Who this is for

You've had first clients, but you don't know where the next one comes from.

Your network got you started. Now it's run dry, and there's no plan for what replaces it.

You've done outreach, and nothing came back.

Messages, posts, events. Silence, or polite interest that never turned into a sale.

You named your price and heard “too expensive”.

Since then you've been unsure whether the problem was the price, the buyer or the way you explained it.

You sell to organisations and can't get past the first contact.

The person who loves your idea isn't the one who owns the budget, and the conversation stalls there.

Built for internationals

  • Starting without a local network. We build your route to buyers from outreach, partnerships and events, starting from wherever your network is today.
  • A career that spans countries and industries. We turn it into one clear offer you can explain in a sentence.
  • Selling as the newcomer. We work on how you earn the trust of buyers who don't know you yet, often in a language that isn't your first.
  • An international background. Your languages, cross-border contacts and cultural insight can be part of what clients pay for.
If you don't yet know exactly what you offer, start with the group programme, Spark Your Expat Business. 1:1 is for building on an offer you already have.
how it works

Foundations first, then the system that brings clients in

We start by checking your foundations with SPARK, the method I use with every client. Then we spend most of the six months on Kickstart: building and running the system that brings clients in.

Foundations review

Check your skills and edge, the problem you solve, your audience and your results. We fix only what's weak, not what already works.

You leave with: A clear picture of what's holding your sales back, and an offer that's ready to sell

Your plan

Turn your goals, capacity and market into a personalised plan for the six months.

You leave with: A plan built around your business and your week

Targeting

Define exactly who to reach. For B2B, map who uses your service, who owns the problem and who pays.

You leave with: A targeted list of potential clients

Messaging

Shape how you explain your offer, in your buyers' words, for posts, messages and conversations.

You leave with: Messaging that makes saying yes easy

Routes to buyers

Choose and test the routes that fit you and your market: network, outreach, partnerships, events, content, even when your network is in another country.

You leave with: A content and outreach routine you can keep up

Sales conversations

Discovery calls, presenting your price, handling real objections and following up.

You leave with: A sales process from first contact to a clear yes or no

Review and adjust

Track what brings conversations and clients, keep what works and drop what doesn't.

You leave with: A client acquisition system that runs without me

who's guiding you

Why work with me

I spent 7+ years in sales, customer success and marketing in tech before becoming an ICF ACC certified coach. Client acquisition is the part of business I know best, from both sides of the table.

I've also built my own business in Copenhagen with no local network, so I know what getting through the door looks like when nobody knows your name yet.

My promise

I won't promise clients or revenue: that depends on your market and on the conversations you have. What I do promise: together we'll build a system that works for you and your business, one that gets you in front of buyers consistently.

three simple steps

How to join

  1. Book a callPick a time that suits you.
  2. We talk it throughWe look at your business, your offer and where you're stuck, and whether 1:1 is the right fit. If the group programme suits you better, I'll tell you.
  3. Your plan and your start dateIf it's a fit, I send your contract and payment link, and we book your first session.

I take on only 1 to 2 new 1:1 clients each month, so everyone gets the support this work needs.

good questions

Questions

Do you work with clients outside Denmark?

Yes. All coaching is online, and most of my clients live outside Denmark. I've worked with internationals in France, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Honduras: an American in France, a Norwegian in Spain, a New Zealander in Italy. What matters is your experience and your market, not your postcode.

Should I choose 1:1 or the group programme?

It depends on your stage. If you're still shaping your offer, the group programme is the right place to start. If you already know what you sell, or have had your first paying clients, but have no reliable way to get through the door, 1:1 is built for that.

I sell to companies, not individuals. Does this work for me?

Yes. For B2B we map who uses your service, who owns the problem and who signs off the budget, and build your messaging and outreach around each of them.

How do I know this is worth the investment?

Start with what one client is worth to you. Grace (1:1 client) earned back about 4 times her coaching investment, and Line (1:1 client) had a client on a retainer before we finished. I can't promise you the same result, but everything in the six months is aimed at getting you in front of people who can pay.

Will you write my content or do my outreach?

No, but I'll give feedback on all of it. You build the system yourself, with my input on every piece, so it keeps working after our six months end.

How do I know you're the right coach for me?

Only you can answer that. But if you're looking for someone with a real commercial and coaching background, who understands life and business abroad because I've been there, who tells it as it is with honesty and transparency, and who cares about action rather than empty words, that's me.
