Most entrepreneurs think they need better marketing.
They don’t. They need a sales conversation that works.

I’m Kelly James, Sales Strategist, TEDx speaker, and author. I help coaches and consultants fix the hidden mistakes killing their sales calls so they can close more clients with calm confidence.

I’ve led sales teams responsible for over one billion dollars in products and services and worked with Fortune 500 companies like Home Depot, AT&T, and Blinds. I also help solo-preneur coaches grow to six and seven figures using simple, repeatable sales systems.

I built a six-figure coaching business part-time with fewer than 100 people on my list. Not because I was everywhere online, but because my sales process converted.

Today I run Sales Ready Society, where I teach entrepreneurs how to sell naturally, without pressure, and with a process they can trust.

MY MISSION

My mission is to help everyday professionals master a simple, repeatable sales process so they can turn their skills into real income without sacrificing their job, family, or faith.

Rooted in Faith. Anchored by Family.

Beyond the business and the stage, I’m a disciple of Christ, a husband of 20+ years, and a father. My family is my daily reminder of what matters most—and my faith is the foundation that shapes how I lead, serve, and show up in the world. Everything I build is meant to honor God, uplift others, and leave a legacy my family can be proud of.
