I’m Leah Neaderthal, and I help women run more profitable consulting businesses.

In our world, that means doing more of the work you love, with the clients you enjoy, and getting paid for your value, not your time. So that your business supports your life, not the other way around.

As seen in

You’ve gotten this far without a marketing and sales strategy. Imagine what would happen if you had one?

Up to this point, you’ve gotten clients through referrals and word of mouth. You know you should be doing something more proactive. But… what?

You’ve never had to sell in your previous career, and you don’t want to come off as a used car salesperson.

But you CAN learn how to get the clients you want, in a way that feels organic and comfortable. Here you won’t find any pushy sales tricks. Just a methodology that works, builds great client relationships, and lets you be yourself. Welcome to Smart Gets Paid.

Success Stories

Jessica Zweig, branding agency owner

“I started working with you in June and within three months, August was my most lucrative month of my entire business.”

Sarah J, fundraising consultant

“We used to book clients just in time to keep income flowing, and we now have a 6-month cushion!”

Brynne K, digital marketing consultant

“Going over my numbers for last year — my revenue increased +20% and the number of clients I worked with decreased by -37%. I’m so excited about this! Switching over to value-based pricing helped me get higher-paying clients without having to add tons more clients into the mix!!”

Anna B, nonprofit communications consultant

“Every day I feel more and more like I’m the driver of my business!”

Denise F, marketing consultant

“I was my reviewing my revenue dashboard and it showed that I earned $100K more in 2024 compared to the year before. I joined the Academy in May 2024 and it has transformed my sales approach entirely.”

Deepti Gudipati, leadership consultant

“I was able to meet my revenue target for the YEAR by May and will likely end the year with 75% more revenue than I targeted for the year.”

Caitlin M, marketing consultant

“It was amazing to reflect on how my company has changed in the past year.
Before, we had clients paying us $3K a month and retainer agreements for 3 months or less. Today, our rates start at $7500/month for 12 months, minimum. Having this stability and cash flow has allowed both my business partner and me to give ourselves raises and give our ops manager a raise.”

Susan B, leadership consultant

“For the first time in my business, I feel head-to-toes confident with my message, my positioning, and my marketing. Leah is no-fluff, all practical. I feel on fire, and I’m getting way more solid inquiries and feeling confident in building my pipeline, even as I move into a new area of expertise to offer my clients.”

Mary G, nonprofit consultant

“I just secured a contract for 500% more than I was originally going to quote. I was ready to undervalue my bid and ask for $7,000 but I reached out to Leah and the team for a pep talk and I’m glad I did, because we are now going under contract for $37,500!! I’m stoked!”

Julie Hamilton, branding agency owner

“We’ve already hit our revenue goal for the year and it’s only July, so we’ve had to set a new, bigger revenue goal.”

Connie C, food startup consultant

“All my career, I have been looking for something like this. I’ve been so reactive, and to be proactive makes all the difference.”

Hold on one sec!

There’s a lot of noise in the “sales consulting and coaching” space, so I thought it would be helpful to clarify what I do (and what I don’t do)

I help independent consultants:

  • Get potential clients coming to you through referrals, word of mouth, and LinkedIn
  • Land profitable consulting contracts with business and nonprofit clients that need your services
  • Get paid more than you ever imagined you could, without adding any work
  • Lead a sales process, comfortably ask for the sale, find authentic confidence, and much more…

I don’t help you:

  • Get B2C / individual clients
  • Fill your group program
  • Sell your online course

If you and your team would benefit from learning these things for your consulting business, you’re in the right place!

The Academy

A comprehensive, hands-on sales training program just for women running B2B consulting businesses and their teams, using a proven approach for the way B2B clients buy, and reflecting the way you run your business today.
