The Cubicle to CEO Podcast

Most people think the best clients come from vetted business networks. But in today's case study, you'll hear how this founder quietly generated $40,000 in additional annual revenue from casual conversations inside non-business spaces. Flo Esho, CEO of virtual executive assistant agency The Easy Flow Life, landed one high-ticket retainer client at a dinner with a local mommy group, and another through a single Facebook comment in a 28,000-member lifestyle group. The secret? Intentional presence inside interest-based digital communities, not to pitch — but to meaningfully participate as a relatable, holistic person. These two client wins were just the beginning. Flo's subtle engagement style in these overlooked spaces now fuels an ongoing stream of discovery calls and warm referrals, giving her organic visibility and dream clients she connects with on a deeper level. If you're tired of traditional networking, this episode is an exercise in creative relationship building that will challenge you to show up outside the normal business box.

What does it take to host a summit where your registration page converts at 83% and drives $63,000 in back-end course sales and $77,000 in total revenue? In today's case study, Summit in a Box® founder Krista Miller breaks down the behind-the-scenes of her 2020 virtual summit that attracted 1,250 attendees and led to her highest-converting course launch at the time. With a two-tier all-access pass offer and a brilliant scholarship incentive that led to a 40% LIVE show-up rate for the end-of- summit masterclass that sold her course, Krista turned free attendance into high-ticket enrollment. Now, five years later with hundreds of more summits under her belt (both her own and her students), she's reflecting on what she'd change if she ran this summit today—from rethinking her pricing strategy to why she now avoids co-hosting entirely—and how that hindsight is informing the way she hosts summits in 2025.

How do you turn a passion-fueled event into a six-figure signature offer? Today's case study features Elysia Skye, intuitive mentor and founder of The Brilliance Method®, who generated over $150K in net profit by merging high-end video production, coaching, and energy work into a transformative in-person experience called Content Camp. Each cohort served 11–14 coaches, healers, and authors with themed experiences (including Back to the Future events and manifestation exercises in nature). Ticket options ranged from $2K to $11K—and yet, most attendees chose the $11K VIP tier as their default. Elysia shares how she refined her pricing after initially losing money on VIPs, beta tested her first event through referrals, and transitioned this initial offer into her newer Clarity Camp — her current invite-only offer with even higher margins. Keep listening to hear how designing offers Elysia personally wanted to attend was the secret to consistent demand.

Most people treat LinkedIn like a billboard, a place to update their resume or tout their career achievements. Corina Calugaru turned it into a $130,000-per-quarter sales engine instead. As the founder of The Orange Notebook, Corina helps entrepreneurs with their brand identity and business strategy—but when her own lead pipeline was moving too slowly to create scale, she knew content alone wouldn't cut it. After getting scammed by a lead gen agency and seeing minimal traction from organic posts, Corina took control. She spent six months manually DMing prospects for hours a day on LinkedIn, refining her messaging and building a high-converting outbound process. Within a year, she automated her outbound messaging system, tripled her lead volume, and created a repeatable framework to close $3K–$5K clients consistently. This case study breaks down the exact tools, scripts, and strategies that transformed her LinkedIn from passive platform to active profit center—so you can do the same. Thank you to our sponsor!

Client churn isn't a problem at Highflier Powerhouse—because most clients stay for 2 to 3 years. In today's case study, we're diving into how Marketing and Creative Director Jasmine Haitalani built a $500K creative agency with a client retention pipeline that doubled project enrollment, tripled pricing, and transformed creative services into must-have business investments.

Megan Yelaney organically grew a new Instagram account to over 34,000 followers in under a year—while pumping for her newborn twins and running a coaching business. This second account was separate from her business brand account, born as a passion project documenting her motherhood journey. But by applying the same content strategies she's taught over 1,000 coaches to help them stand out and sell out, Megan turned limited time into maximum audience growth—without paid ads or trend-chasing. In this case study, she shares the simple but strategic approach behind her viral content that grew her audience by 34,000: the three types of posts that consistently performed, her lead generating storytelling framework, and why choosing a topic you're already living can be the easiest way to create high-impact content.

Consider this your SEO crash course! SEO strategist Laura Jawad is breaking down what's actually working right now — including what recent Google algorithm changes mean for your content and how to stay one step ahead.

Natalie Koussa turned podcast listeners into over $45K in sales in 90 days—without a sales page or even editing her episodes. The secret? A trust-first visibility funnel that starts with guesting on other people's podcasts and leads into a private podcast that sells her services on autopilot — and converts 60% faster than her usual sales cycle. In this case study, Natalie explains how she creates content to speak to two distinct buyer types, why skipping fancy intros and editing actually increased conversions, and how storytelling—not showboating—has grown her business with a small but mighty audience. If you've been craving a visibility strategy that prioritizes depth over reach, this episode breaks down the organic, low lift funnel built entirely on trust—and why it works so well.

What if making your product harder to access was the secret to increasing demand? That's the counterintuitive strategy sisters Olivia and Chloe Ferro bet on to catapult their startup SheMed to over 20,000 sign-ups in just a few months. As the UK's first female-focused GLP-1 program, SheMed entered a crowded weight-loss market—but instead of competing on convenience, they bet on credibility. By requiring mandatory blood tests before prescribing medication, they not only differentiated themselves but uncovered a staggering insight: 99% of applicants had undiagnosed health conditions. The payoff? A 3X surge in inbound leads, a 120% increase in patient sign-ups, and high-trust partnerships with major clinics—all fueled by a safety-first approach that turned medical rigor into a viral growth lever. If you've ever worried that implementing stricter client or customer qualifications might slow your sales, this case study is an excellent reminder that trust is your most powerful conversion strategy.

Most new business owners either waste money on the wrong things or avoid spending altogether out of fear. Money coach Emilie Nutley did neither. When Emilie quit her 9-5 in January 2024, she had one client, £500 in her business account, and three months to replace her salary. By the end of year one, she'd made £36,642, was paying herself £2,000 a month, and is now on track to close this year at £135,000+—all by making every pound work for her with a Strategic Investment Framework. For every £1 she spent, she made £2.50 back—reinvesting £15,000 from profit into mentorship, marketing, and high-ROI tools. But smart investing isn't just about numbers—it's about mastering the mindset behind money, too. In this case study, we're breaking down exactly how Emilie decides what, when, and how much to reinvest in her business.

After nearly a year-long maternity break, career & job search coach Simi Awokoya knew she needed a strategic way to relaunch her coaching business upon her return. The solution she tested? A self-published book priced at £26.99 ($34 USD), designed as both a revenue stream and a lead-generation tool for her premium coaching program. With no paid ads and just organic marketing, Simi leveraged her 17,000 LinkedIn followers and 700 warm email subscribers to sell 150 copies in 30 days, generating £4,048 (~$5,200 USD) in revenue. The book didn't just sell—it worked as a high-converting funnel, tripling inbound coaching inquiries and landing her podcast invitations that expanded her visibility.

What if the secret to scaling your high-ticket offer wasn't a bigger audience, but a smarter funnel? Today's case study unpacks how Vix Meldrew's surprising move to lean into an unscalable funnel strategy actually added $150K of revenue and signed 99 clients in just one year. After seeing shifts in buyer behavior, Vix leveraged the Lipstick Effect (an economic theory explained in our conversation) to tweak her funnel, swapping out a traditional webinar for a micro-class and private podcast combo, and offering an unscalable but high-touch, high trust-building opportunity on the backend.  The result? A 35% conversion rate on her first launch, consistent evergreen sales, and a staggering speed-up of the buying cycle, with the average new lead converting after just 10 days or less on her list.

In December 2023, Nadine Nethery turned heads with a holiday-themed scavenger hunt on her website aptly named “I've Elfed Myself.” The concept? Nine hidden treasures tucked across her site that had her audience clicking, hunting, and completely hooked.

What if writing a book could triple your rates and position you as the top expert in your field? Today's case study explores how a self-published book became the ultimate lead generator for Abi Prendergast's service-based business. Abi is the creator of Day #1 Evergreen, the evergreen funnel system that has helped clients generate up to $1.8 million annually — without the stress of live launches. But it wasn't her system that put her on the map—it was the book she wrote about it. In 2023, Abi turned her proven framework into a book designed to position her as the go-to expert in evergreen strategies. With a small email list of just 800 subscribers, her book gained traction almost entirely through Amazon and word of mouth recommendations.  The result?

Today's case study dives into how subscription box queen Sarah Williams achieved her highest-ever conversion rate during the annual launch of her subscription box coaching membership, Launch Your Box. Sarah's $15 Subscription Box Week combines interactive exercises, live Q&A sessions, and daily interviews with successful members to give participants a hands-on preview of her program. And since the pre-launch experience has a cost of admission, Sarah is literally getting paid to sell to her people. This year, she fine-tuned her approach with new strategies like staggered expiring bonuses, the first-ever ticket price increase, and a deeper, more personal connection with her audience. The result? A staggering 43% conversion rate from Subscription Box Week attendees to members—her best launch yet, even as many online programs face declining enrollments. Learn how Sarah used data-driven decisions to boost urgency, engagement, and trust, inspiring nearly half of her participants to swipe their cards again by the end of their week together.

Today's case study centers on a highly requested, sparsely covered topic on our podcast: adding sponsored brand deals as a revenue stream to your business. In our conversation with Lisette Calveiro, CEO of Influence with Impact, we specifically lean into the pricing and negotiation strategies that generated her $130,000 from brand partnerships this year alone — accounting for 20% of her 2024 revenue. Lisette breaks down all the overlooked pricing factors beyond views and follower counts that net her higher rates and give her leverage in negotiations with brands, as well as reveals transparent insights on creator earnings and recent brand deals.

Today's case study is the business poster child of making lemonade out of lemons, starring the husband/wife duo Michelle Luchese and John Ruggiero who turned a bad wedding ring buying experience into founding Manly Bands, the #1 digital marketplace for men's wedding jewelry and a multi-million dollar business.  Helping to catapult their brand to #1 are lucrative licensing deals with household brands like Jack Daniels, Jeep, and Fender. In this conversation, we specifically unpack their partnership with the Tolkien Estate —a rare deal that positioned Manly Bands as one of only two brands with official Lord of the Rings licensing rights. Since the launch of their epic Lord of The Rings Collection in 2022, it's become one of Manly Bands' top-selling collections, adding over 7,000 new customers and a $1M lift in revenue from 2022 to 2023, with projections to exceed that increase in 2024. From crafting standout pitches to conducting thorough market research and negotiating high-profile licensing deals, follow the data-driven decisions driving Michelle and John's impressive growth with Manly Bands.

We've got an online marketing icon behind the mic today! Jasmine Star is a world-class speaker, podcast host, and the founder of Social Curator, a SaaS company that works like a social media marketing agency in your pocket. In today's case study, we uncover exactly how Jasmine fundraised over $555,000 from her community in just 1 hour to propel the growth of Social Curator. Instead of looking to banks, VCs, or angel investors, Jasmine turned to her community of already invested users for a bootstrapped cash injection. We examine the urgency plays she used to exceed her goal amount in under an hour, including the logistics of her best conversion secret: recording hundreds of personalized videos for individuals on her waitlist.
