I’m Katie Nelson, “The Sales Catalyst” and I’m a sales loving, straight-to-the-point, let’s get down to brass tacks sales coach who loves a good belly laugh at least once per day. *that’s the minimum*

Maybe it’s due to the fact that I grew up in an entrepreneurial family or that I’ve been in sales for the majority of my adult life, or maybe even the fact that Sales UpRising is my 3rd business…

But I remember what it’s like to jump into business and be incredibly excited for this new venture while still being lost, confused, and needing guidance along the way.

The one thing that I realized was my super power was that no matter what business venture I started, I was ALWAYS focused on building relationships. Sales came easy because I was simply having honest conversations with people which led to us doing business together. 

Most people will tell you to focus on the branding, to have your website polished, to print off business cards, to have your social media channels figured out, blah blah blah.

Kelly Ann Peck, the Head Coach in Charge (HCIC) at Sales UpRising, is on a mission to break molds and shatter assumptions. She firmly believes it should be that only 90% of businesses that reach sales totals of six figures or more, not the measly 10% that we have today. And she strives daily to change those statistics for clients!
 
Kelly has had a 24-year career in sales and business growth and earned more than $23 million in revenue. She has helped countless companies transform their operations and become powerhouses. She has also spent years developing the message that businesses can become the success story they were meant to be. Kelly’s expertise is in high demand. She has guested on national and international podcasts, and shared her insights at major conferences across the country.
A life-long fixer, Kelly has been a problem-solver in every role she has undertaken.  Today Kelly uses her knack for uncovering hidden mysteries to benefit her clients. She coaches them to develop actionable strategies that will transform their ideas into profitable companies. She teaches business owners the necessary skills to price the perfect package, hone their niche, reach their ideal clients, and charge their worth. In every way, Kelly is the sage guide she wished she had when she became a business owner.
 
Kelly has a long history of creating positive solutions in the face of adversity. Coming from a divorced home, at a young age she watched her father struggle through difficulties as an entrepreneur. She therefore resolved to overcome hurdles and attain her dreams, no matter how daunting the challenge. She began her own path in business by becoming the first member of her family to receive a college degree. By age 25, she was the assistant manager of an 8,000-seat minor league baseball stadium. And her star has continued to rise higher! Working nationwide for nearly 25 years and across many brands, Kelly has managed teams of up to 525 and rallied others around a shared mission to reach their sales targets.
Kelly understands her clients and the challenges they face because she has been in their shoes. She is a two-time business owner and has had to wear all the hats of an entrepreneur. She has sat down with an overwhelming to-do list, felt the queasy feeling of closing a sale, battled the fear of the unknown, and beat the loneliness of entrepreneurship. Armed with her wealth of experience, she is dedicated to teaching business owners to avoid her own pitfalls and equipping them with knowledge to achieve success.
 
In her years as a coach, Kelly has had such a positive impact! She has taught multi-million-dollar brands her proven strategies of how to increase sales and excel as industry leaders. Kelly’s counsel has produced results! Many of her clients have seen significant growth and doubled or tripled their revenues. Some have reworked their companies to be sustainable in a digital market. And others have reinvented their business model during the pandemic to branch into new areas of service. Kelly has seen companies go from barely covering expenses to monthly or yearly revenues in the range of five to seven figures. She continues showing that it is possible, and it can happen to any business owner.
 
Kelly’s passion for positioning others to succeed has developed her career into what it is today. Her heart for the downtrodden and frustrated entrepreneur has birthed an entire endeavor and transition to business coach. Her business has been acquired and she now with Sales UpRising; allowing Kelly to have greater impact to her clients and reach a wider business audience. Joining Sales UpRising is the culmination of her decades of work and messaging. Kelly continues showing that it is possible, and it can happen to any business owner. Kelly holds a Master of Business Administration in Global Business Leadership and a Bachelor of Food Service Management from Johnson and Wales University. When not nailing it as a business coach, you can find Kelly jamming to old-school rock with her husband and two children, reading an engaging book while sipping a glass of wine, or relaxing by the sea.

If you’ve landed on this page, that’s for good reason.

Let’s be honest. You didn’t land on this page by accident. You’re either staring me up and down thinking I’m your competition so you’re keeping a digital tab of who’s out there…

OR you’re actually ready to having a Sales UpRising within your business so that you can inject cashflow into your business because it’s suffocating. 

If you don’t have the kind of cashflow that’s necessary to not only sustain you but your employees, we have to make swift decisions to get you back into the black.
