“The value of LCB 2.0 is absolutely worth the investment – You’ll walk away with tons of resources to come back to time and time again!”
I wasn’t sure exactly how to structure a successful group program but since taking Lesli’s course, I feel equipped to design and sell my best work. I learned more about how I want to structure my business and diversify my income to make the most impact on my client’s health and betterment and for myself financially.
I first learned about Lesli and her offerings through a Fullscript webinar. She introduced me to the concept of leveraged offerings and successful group program design. I didn’t know where to begin at first, but since taking LCB 2.0, I have a blueprint now to start building my dream program that will allow me to serve more people at one time and make a greater impact while also diversifying my income and eventually providing me with more flexibility and money.
Since taking Lesli’s course, I’ve structured my business differently and have projected 4x my income over the next three months. The value of LCB 2.0 is absolutely worth the investment! You’ll walk away with tons of resources to come back to time and time again.

“I’m definitely going to hit my yearly income goals!”
I have an established virtual practice. I specifically wanted to work on increasing my client flow and get more revenue.
I was looking for someone to help me with strategy and to improve my business. Lesli turned out to be a great fit and I was able to make a lot of progress towards my goals.
I am definitely going to hit my yearly income goals. I already hit my ROI within the first couple of months since we worked together. Lesli is really supportive and she gives me a different perspective.
– Ginger Hultin, MS, RDN
“In the initial six months of working with Lesli, I actually have more than made my return on investment.”
Before I started working with Lesli, my business really didn’t have any systems or processes in place for the clients that were coming in, so I was attracting all different types of people. Some were a good fit, some were not, and I was only charging $100 for a 90-minute session, giving away a lot of really valuable medical advice. I was already starting to feel burned out and I was only in practice for about a year. I have learned so much since working with Lesli – I have accomplished so much. But at first, I thought it was going to be overwhelming, but it’s been so step-wise and gradual, and I felt this really strong foundation. Now I have a really clearly defined niche, and I’ve created a platinum three-month program.
I would encourage all my colleagues to work with Lesli. We have so much to offer the world with our professions, but we’re not taught [the] business [side] – this really was like Lesli says, your MBA. I didn’t even know what I didn’t know about business. Lesli really guides us through that in a really step-wise way, to help more people in the world and help you and your business.

“If you want to move away from solely relying on 1:1 practice Lesli is the perfect person to help you add group programs to the mix.”
The business was thriving, but I needed help adding group programs to my practice. I liked Lesli’s professional yet friendly & approachable manner. She’s a people person, and almost understands what you’re saying before you’ve said it! I developed my first online group program and increased my fees by 15%. If you want to move away from solely relying on 1:1 practice Lesli is the perfect person to help you add group programs to the mix.

“Lesli is excellent at knowing the right language that sells but doesn’t feel salesy or unauthentic.”
Lesli is truly a gem. She is very caring and really wants her clients to succeed. She was there for me when I was going through a very dark time. Her kindness and genuineness made me feel like I wasn’t alone and that she was supporting me with encouragement and understanding when I wasn’t at my best. She is incredibly patient too!
Lesli is excellent at knowing the right language that sells but doesn’t feel salesy or unauthentic. Her marketing expertise and providing so many useful guides and tips that were just what I needed when I needed them. She is a positive person and it is contagious. She really knows her stuff and can take you to the next level. She is worth the investment for certain!

“Knowing that Lesli has my back, I am much less anxious and overwhelmed about being my own boss!”
Lesli has an amazing wealth of business experience and the valuable perspective of a clinician at the same time. I’ve been able to let go of an aspect of my business that wasn’t producing results, reduce unnecessary expenses and stress, and focus my time, energy, and financial resources on a population I love to serve, that’s also a viable source of business.
Knowing that Lesli has my back, I am much less anxious and overwhelmed by being my own boss, and can focus on important tasks, and projects without spinning my wheels and wasting time. I love Lesli’s light-heartedness, sense of humor, and commitment to always finding solutions that are for the highest possible good of all concerned.

“Since working with Lesli in 2022, my business has increased by 300%.”
So in 2021, when I started working with Lesli, I made $33,000. And I had about three clients a month. On average, since working with Lesli in 2022, my business has increased by 300%. I closed out 2022, right around $89,000. I now have 22 private clients in my package and I’m working on a way to introduce more people outside of a package and in multiple different ways. I’ve been able to quit my full-time job, which made it a lot easier to focus on these things.
I’ve been brave enough, and had the courage to know that there are a lot of other ways that I can always be reaching out. I was also able to have the confidence to continue to build on that, whether it was some kind of advertising or getting myself out there more on social media, or not comparing myself to so much to what other people were doing. And understanding that the value that I bring is going to be different than the value that anyone else brings as it is with anybody. Those are things that I think are really hard when you’re sitting there trying to dig through everything that you think is right, to say to yourself and to find confidence in. Those are some things that have helped me.

“Lesli’s knowledge of the sales and marketing processes is so valuable – she communicates her knowledge in a way that newbies can understand and know what to do.”
Sales and marketing are two areas that I find challenging. I felt stuck and overwhelmed about what to do to make sales in this tough economy. Lesli has a very positive and down-to-earth style which I like and always provides a lot of value in her masterclasses and programs. I appreciate that she is an RD and knows what we’re going through. It’s inspiring to see an RD that is successful and is dedicated to helping other practitioners be also.
I also found the bonuses included with this course valuable, especially the List Building Secrets. Lesli provides a ton of value with all the customizable templates and videos in the programs. Her programs are definitely worth the investment of your time and money. Her knowledge of the sales and marketing processes is so valuable. She communicates her knowledge in a way so that newbies can understand and know what to do.

Before working with Lesli we were trying to create packages and programs but had no idea what to charge. We knew the insurance model of seeing patients one appointment at a time was not lucrative. The amount of reimbursement from the insurance felt so minimal compared to the time it took to see the patient for MNT. Since we already had our niche, Lesli helped us design our irresistible coaching package. She showed us that we can really charge what we are worth and she helped us with our magnetic message!
I would say you would regret not working with Lesli! Lesli is just as invested in the success of your business as you are. She is worth every dime on her coaching program because she gives you knowledge and resources that you will be able to use for years. We booked three new clients with the signature program before our six months ended. Her commitment to her clients and her down-to-earth personality makes you feel at ease with any question you have.

I’m starting from the ground up and need all the help I can get from Lesli and the 6-Figure Biz Academy. I have definitely learned about the business side of being in private practice. It was so helpful to be part of a group and hear where others are at in their business journeys and hear the advice that Lesli was giving them.
The 6-Figure Biz Academy helped me to lay out the foundation for my nutrition business. I have the nutrition knowledge, but I needed to know about the business side.
I liked the structured organization of the program, and I liked how Lesli applied the material to the situations of the participants. I’m really happy that I chose the 6-Figure Biz Academy because (for me) having that weekly meeting and hearing what the other participants were doing and going through was invaluable. It gave me the foundation I needed while starting out. I know I could use some individual coaching moving forward.

I had been in business for eight years, and I was really stuck and starting to get nervous that I would never be able to move past it on my own because of the barriers that I was running into. When I started working with Lesli, I learned so many things. She helped me to create a package so that I have a structure for what I’m doing with each patient that I can just plug into and streamline. The most important thing she taught me was to have that initial conversation with clients to enroll them.
The thing I appreciate the most about working with Lesli is that she is so knowledgeable and experienced in exactly the area that I need someone and she really listens. She doesn’t try to have me do things exactly a certain way, she really listens to me and my specific problem, and (Lesli) gives me really valuable feedback based on her years of experience that I can implement in tangible steps and adjust as I go – it’s exactly what I needed in a coach.
–Alyssa Simpson, RDN

Before I started working with Lesli, I had a fee-for-service model. I also had a niche in that I worked with older people with a lot of chronic conditions, and I really didn’t have focused messaging around what I did. I decided to move forward with Lesli for a few reasons; after seeing her testimonials and experience, I could see she’s been doing this successfully for a number of years and really helps practices to thrive.
I would recommend working with Lesli right away, don’t wait – get the whole process started! It will take time, of course, but you’re not going to be nearly as happy and fulfilled personally and professionally as you could be if you don’t set yourself up for success in the long run.

When I opened my own private practice, I really needed a guide to help me transition to this brave new world of online education and I took a few of Lesli’s free offerings. I’ve actually taken several of her courses, and she has been a guide that helped me to polish and modernize my skills to really know what I didn’t know that I needed to find help with. And I’ll just say if you are ready to do the work to take your business to the next level, Lesli is a fantastic guide.

“Lesli is incredibly knowledgeable about what dietitians need to know to build a successful business”
When I began working with Lesli, my business was not really going yet, but I knew I needed help in determining my audience and target message, marketing my business, and developing a “signature program”.
Lesli helped me gain confidence and shared specific ideas on how to develop a signature program & platform.
She is so encouraging and very knowledgeable about what dietitians need to know to build a successful business as well as what NOT to do, and really cares about her clients. I enjoyed working with her very much!

“I learned how to offer a successful four-day challenge”
Before I connected with Lesli, I found it really difficult to know how to get my message across to the many people in the world that I wanted to help. I didn’t know how to offer my services, or how to attract clients into my world, and into my work. I had a lot of confusion about the steps necessary to be successful in marketing. With Lesli, I learned how to offer a successful four-day challenge that not only got people to sign up but also converted them into the program that I was offering.
Lesli is extremely knowledgeable in the world of health professionals who are looking to make a big impact online. As health professionals, we’re not taught marketing, sales, advertisement, and content creation – you certainly want to have an expert who gets results on your team. My business has grown in size and impact since working with Lesli as a result… AND my contact list has grown by 30%!

“Lesli’s expertise as a coach is phenomenal!”
Before working with Lesli, I was disheartened with healthcare. I saw the limitations of one-on-one and the time constraints were getting to be less and less. Lesli knows what we’re going through – she understands private practice because she’s been there too.
Lesli’s expertise as a coach is phenomenal! She takes your skills and everything you have to bring to the table so you can help the people that you want to help most.
I honestly can’t imagine my professional life moving forward without me working with Lesli. I just can’t imagine it right now. I only have positive things and I’m so looking forward to what comes next.

“I was able to double, even triple, my income within the first 45 days of working together”
During my initial call with Lesli, I actually cried on the phone because I felt so overwhelmed and exhausted. I was constantly trying to book people left and right and it was so exhausting for me. When I first started working with Lesli, I was able to double, even triple, my income within the first 45 days of working together. I already made up what I invested and also made additional money.
Lesli helped me create my signature program, which is something I wanted to do for a long time; I just didn’t necessarily know how to do it. My new programs are high value so I can support myself, while also offering an invaluable service to the clients who benefit from my services.
I love that Lesli has been so encouraging to me; she makes me feel like a rock star in every single one of our consults. Just having somebody that’s cheering for you and has your best interest in mind is amazing.
–Brittyn Coleman, MS, RDN/LD, CLT

Before I started working with Lesli I was floundering. I had so many ideas but no direction. I struggled with how to do what I had dreamed of – building my dream practice that was profitable and helping people. Lesli’s program was a richer experience and taught me so many valuable methods for reaching potential clients, setting my rates, building my program, and getting out of my own way.
I feel that Lesli’s problem-solving skills are amazing. When we had our live Q&A calls and she opened the floor up so we could ask for help, she didn’t have to get any books out or refer to anything because she worked through it with us on the spot. She always had great feedback, ideas, and suggestions for fixing the issue.

“Annual Revenue Increased 5-Fold!”
After six months of spinning my wheels in my private practice and trying to go it alone, I found myself at a loss. I was working hard but struggling. Clients were dropping off after one session, and I was not achieving my desired financial results. It was clear that something had to change, so I reached out to Lesli for help.
Lesli helped me niche down and get clear on the problems I was solving for my clients. She helped me design my individual and group coaching packages – I even launched my first group program and received excellent feedback. With Lesli’s support, I created a new e-book to help build my email list. I learned the business side of running my practice – everything from networking to generate physician referrals to obtaining powerful testimonials from clients. Lesli also helped me streamline my business practices so that I can work smarter, not harder. The best part is that this is only the start, as there is more potential to grow.
One of Lesli’s most exceptional abilities is her ability to tailor her recommendations based on my business.
Working with Lesli has been worth every penny! I highly recommend!

“I’d been practicing five years before taking Lesli’s Consultations that Convert and have been steadily growing over that time. I was doing well but was not reaching all my financial goals the way I wanted to. Lesli’s course gave me the framework to communicate to potential clients clearly what I can do for them. Often they are excited to schedule even before the end of the call!”

“From charging $225, I was able to charge $797 for the same package!”
Before working with Lesli, I was just flying by the seat of my pants and I did not have a lot of foundational things in place. After I entered the 6-Figure Business Academy, I was able to charge what I am worth. From charging $225, I learned from Lesli to change my mindset, I was able to charge $797 for the same package.

“After attending Lesli’s master class on Consultations that Convert I have gone from 1 client a month, to having over 4 one on one clients!”
I just started my own consulting business, but have been in healthcare for over 20 years. After attending Lesli’s master class on Consultations that Convert I have gone from 1 client a month, to having over 4 one on one clients and I finished my first structured program with 5 participants. This is in just 2 weeks of finishing her class.
I was stuck with how to organize the discovery call to promote my programs. I was also stuck on how to structure my programs. I have watched Lesli’s Facebook live sessions and found her to be supportive, encouraging, and realistic. Other coaches don’t understand this industry as well, so I also liked that she is in the same field and understands the nuances of nutrition and health coaching.
I went from making $200 from previous months to increase revenue to $2000 and that is after increasing my fees by 35%. This is my first month of actually promoting my business.
I appreciate Lesli’s pragmatic approach and willingness to offer solutions that work for you. She truly listens to what your business is and guides you to the best solutions that will work for you. Lesli’s most exceptional at utilizing her experiences and her work with others to help you find solutions that work. If you can invest the time, I would definitely recommend working with Lesli. If you are struggling to find direction in your coaching business, she can help.

Get Out Of Your Own Way and Hire Lesli
Before working with Lesli, I saw clients in a “one-session-at-a-time” model. I was working hard but not making enough money. I was struggling with marketing, getting more clients, and converting discovery calls into cash programs.
I decided to move forward with Lesli’s program because her approach resonated with me. I appreciate Lesli’s passion for what she does. She knows her tools work, and she does a good job pushing us to use them.
Not only did I gain confidence in recognizing the incredible value I offer, but I’m also happy to report that my revenue increased significantly over last year!
I appreciate all her resources, tools, wisdom, motivation, encouragement, passion, support, and belief that we can achieve our goals!
If you are thinking about working with Lesli, I advise getting yourself out of the way and hiring Lesli. She will help you get the results you want. Just do it! You won’t regret it.

I’ve tripled my monthly income since working with Lesli and taken my group program to a completely new level.
I wanted advice on my sales-to-funnel, email marketing, lead magnets, growing my audience, format, and structure for my business on the whole, and group programs. Lesli stood out to me for her ability to connect, her listening skills, and her expertise in the field. I enjoy her approach and feel that it is most helpful, especially in comparison to other coaches that made me feel like I was just a number or sale to make. Lesli gives fantastic advice and really takes the time to be thorough.
The community in the 6-Figure Biz Academy is SO helpful! I’ve learned so much from the other group participants and absolutely LOVE my POD group! I feel more confident and equipped to continue to grow my business as well as make the most revenue per hour worked.

“Booked 9 New Client Packages in the First 3 Months of Opening My Virtual Practice!”
Before working with Lesli, I had just started my business and had no idea where to begin! I had no website, social media accounts, no programs, no pricing, or anything of that nature.
I wanted to start my business efficiently with someone who knew what they were doing – not spinning my wheels on all of the various components of starting a private practice!
Lesli helped me get clear on my niche, learn the business side of running my practice, and successfully enroll new clients from discovery calls. She also taught me how to incorporate functional nutrition testing into my practice and programs! She helped me gain confidence in recognizing my potential and the value I can offer my clients.
Lesli was such a joy and pleasure with whom to work! She truly empowered me, gave me confidence, helped me see the bigger picture, and helped me see my potential.

Immediately Doubled my Income within 45 days and Hit 6-Figures!
“Before I met Lesli I was extremely overwhelmed and burned out. I actually cried on the phone in our discovery call because I truly knew I loved what I did but wasn’t sure if I could keep on with how stressed out I felt. I constantly needed to book clients to make my income sustainable in San Francisco, which was so stressful for me because I was not making enough.
Lesli helped me to create my signature program and sell it at a high value. I learned how to have a powerful enrollment conversation and stopped being afraid to tell people the results they could see. I completely redid my website, created all new landing pages and automated my business (I even hired an assistant!).
I easily doubled, perhaps tripled my income almost immediately after launching my program. We started working together at the end of August (2019) I launched my program at the end of September, and I nearly tripled my income the next month. My income has consistently been over 10K since working together, even in December and January when I only worked 2 weeks each month. I also hit 6 figures in 2019!
I now feel very confident in my ability to support mine and my husband’s life living in one of the most expensive cities in the United States.”

I have 7.5 as many referrals and am closing almost 100% of my patients into high-end VIP programs (No more stand alone sessions!)
“Lesli showed high level of expertise and came highly recommended by several colleagues, which made working with her an easy decision. Not only is she a dietitian herself but she also has an MBA, which shows she has the background to engage in coaching dietitians on the business end of growing the practice.
After learning Lesli’s system for the sales process, I have been able to book close to 100% of my incoming referrals since March 2020 with successful discovery calls and am now able to move my patients into high-end programs.
Since working with Lesli, my referrals have drastically increased – in the first 6 months of the year I received a total of 75 referrals so far as compared to only 10 referrals received in 2019!”

I’m Generating an Extra $2K/Month Working Only One Day Per Week!
“Before I started working with Lesli, I was struggling with a lot of fear and anxiety around marketing my practice. I picked Lesli as my coach because of her vast experience in her own practice within intuitive eating and based on her extensive business experience and knowledge. I’m so glad I did! Lesli helped me in many areas including cleaning up my website, helping me to generate referrals – my stress level was significantly reduced because I learned exactly what I need to do (and when) to run my practice.
The best part is that I now dedicate only one day/week in my private practice and am able to make an extra $2,000 per month with a full client load of 6-7 clients each day!”

The BEST money I have ever spent on myself!
“I was lucky enough to find Lesli Bitel and her 6 Fig Biz Academy. Let me tell you, it was the best money I have ever spent on myself!
With Lesli’s fool proof step by step program, I was able to get clear on my niche and design my programs and packages in the cash pay model. Despite a challenging personal year with multiple time constraints on my hands, I was able to generate $5,000 in revenue in one month shortly after launching my business! I honestly can’t believe how far I have come from knowing very little about how to start a private practice to what I have mastered and accomplished thus far!
Her heart is made of pure gold. If someone asked me if Lesli was worth the investment, I would say “you can’t afford not to take her course!”.
Lesli Bitel is a consummate professional that has mastered her craft. You can’t go wrong with Lesli Bitel and her 6 Fig Biz Academy!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lesli!!”

$9,100 then $17,910 In New Revenue
“I doubled my monthly income in 2 months by creating high end packages my clients love to pay for!
Working with Lesli has completely transformed my business. Sales always felt uncomfortable, but she helped me realize that I’m an expert in my industry with advanced professional skills under my belt.
By doubling the price of my main package, I’ve doubled my enrollments. Within 2 months of learning Lesli’s strategies, I enrolled 17 people and generated $9,100 in revenue. 2 months later, I raised my prices again and enrolled 20 new clients and generated $17,910!”

I highly recommend working with Lesli! I Made my Investment Back (Plus a Couple Extra Thousand) in my First 3 Months of Business!
“Before working with Lesli I had a dream – not a real business. I was tired of the “free advice” from various gurus and in free Facebook groups – knew I would waste more time and money if I continued to mess around on my own.
I chose Lesli because she was not only a business coach but a dietitian with specialized functional medicine training and she successfully ran her own cash-based, virtual practice.
In less than 3 months since I’ve opened my business, I’ve already made $5K – which covered the Academy fees plus a couple thousand in profit. I’ve booked 5 high-paying clients into my signature program, 2 of which decided to extend the length of time working with me and just signed up for another month, providing me with income and confidence in my work.
Now that I’m so busy in my private practice, I’ve been able to cut the amount of time I am working at clinical job in half because and am making more money for less time so can afford to be home more with my kids.”

We are still pinching ourselves everyday!
“We’re incredibly happy with the results we achieved with Lesli. She helped us to feel more confident in ourselves, our expertise, and our program! We were able to streamline our process so that we felt comfortable and more effective in our everyday work. We were pretty lost when we started with her, and when finishing our work with her we had gained more clients, felt positive for the future, and were left extremely grateful for our work with Lesli!”

Since working with Lesli I’ve increased my fees by 50%!
I launched my nutrition private practice nearly a year before I worked with Lesli. I needed help with converting potential clients to actual paying clients. I kept reading over and over again the importance of hiring a business coach sooner than later. I wanted to work with someone who was an expert in helping registered dietitians scale their practices to the next level. That expert is Lesli Bitel. Since working with Lesli I’ve increased my fees by 50%! Fear and not knowing my worth held me back from increasing my fees. After being coached by Lesli, I’ve steadily increased my fees without blinking because of the solutions I offer to my clients.

I didn’t know where to start with anything!
“Before joining EPIC I was overwhelmed and I was in the beginning stages and really just didn’t know where to start with anything. I felt like I was spinning my wheels and wasn’t getting anywhere before I started with EPIC. I was really frustrated because I had all kinds of ideas – I knew where I wanted to be and could see it but literally did not know how to get there.
One of the most helpful aspects of EPIC was Lesli’s ability to help me to look at the big picture and to break the action steps down into manageable, actionable pieces that I could start putting into practice to move me forward.
One of my favorite things about the program and working with Lesli was the act of being encouraged to step outside of my comfort zone – that was really huge. It can be a little scary but Lesli has a way of making that not so scary, but continuing to push you and help you grow and evolve. And, just knowing that you have other people in the EPIC group who are supporting you as well and cheering you on, is so helpful!”
–Shalona Connolly, MS, RDN, LDN, CSCS
I learned so many critical skills…
“Before taking Lesli’s Lucrative Course Blueprint, I knew absolutely NOTHING about creating, marketing and filling an online course — Zilch. Nada. I was actually set to take a different course, but I got to “know like & trust Lesli through her online events in her warm, easy style and loved that she is relevant to my business (health coaching), which was even more perfect. I learned so many critical skills – outlining and planning my own course was huge for me, the launch process also huge, the email sequence and sales page tips were priceless. Really the whole darn thing 😊.
I loved working with Lesli – she is compassionate, accommodating, has a very clear teaching style, and she is outrageously generous.
If you’re thinking about jumping in, I would say, definitely take this course, do NOT look for another. The tech stuff is worth it’s weight in gold.”

More Than Doubled My Client Base in Less Than 6 Months
“With Lesli’s help, we created a Signature Program around my niche, and she helped me establish how to best market it and successfully have clients sign up!
I gained confidence in my skills and grew in my passion for working with clients that fit my niche, and it helped me easily connect with key practitioners and referral sources – I more than doubled my clients in less than 6 months!”

Made $100K in 6 Months!
“Before working with Lesli I was at a cross roads with my business and was feeling very defeated, stuck and burnt out. I was starting to think about getting a J.O.B. because I was working really hard putting in 10-15 hours a day but not making enough money in my practice.
Lesli helped me to create highly compelling functional medicine packages designed to help my clients achieve their desired results. And I learned how to effectively position and sell them so that my clients can see the value. As a result, I’ve generated $100K in 6 months and have increased my revenue by 400%.”

Liquid Gold!
“Today’s class was liquid gold for me! I’m confident that putting these discovery call strategies into place will have me signing up so many additional private clients that I’ll have to consider taking on a partner (or wait listing them) while I build out my group program!”

From $249 Packages to $15,000 in Two Weeks
“When I started working with Lesli, it was at the beginning of my business building journey. I felt really uncertain of even how to find clients and how to bring them on and into my practice.
I knew that I wanted people to have good results and it was so important to me that I was able to provide a really good value. I just wasn’t sure how. I didn’t have a road-map of how to move forward. I just had this desire to help people and wasn’t even really clear on who or how.
Together, we created a signature program and now I’m selling packages for $5,000 per client instead of $249!
If you’re in that place where you’re needing someone to be able to see your big picture and also help you to break it down into small action steps, Lesli is your person, because she’s got that combination of the nutrition how-to, the clinical skill-sets and also the business savvy.”

My First Launch Generated $20K with 38 Registrants!
“Lesli’s course, Lucrative Course Blueprint was instrumental inhaling me create my own online course. My very first launch in the Fall of 2020, I generated $20K in revenue and signed up 38 people into my 3 Month Course.
You receive tons and tons of downloadable resources on each and every step of the process. I took the course a year ago and I still refer back to the materials constantly. Great investment!”

Tripled My Practice Size and Revenue
“Working with Lesli was the best decision I could have made for my business…. I didn’t HAVE a business before Lesli! She provided me with suggestions when I needed them, but most of all helped ME figure out how to get to where I want to go with my business.
When we are trained as dietitians, there is absolutely NO business education. Working with Lesli really helped me get a grasp on the in’s and out’s of being in private practice. Sure, there were other options out there but in the end…….you get what you pay for, and Lesli is 100% worth it!!!
Today, my business has at least tripled in size of clientele and revenue from the time I started working with Lesli. I have 4 employees, numerous service offerings, and a client base that is growing with excellent client retention.”

$9,866 in Revenue on My First Launch
“After taking Lucrative Course Blueprint I launched my first 6-week online course called the “PCOS Nutrition & Lifestyle Blueprint” and got 28 registrants (27 paid the early bird price of $347 and one person paid the full investment of $497) for a grand total of $9,866!
Your course was so helpful – especially in helping me write a killer sales page.”

I would recommend working with Lesli without hesitation.
“I don’t have a private practice yet, but Consultations That Convert is giving me the tools to gain the confidence to have a private practice that will be successful.
I have loved the exchange of ideas with other participants in the class and Lesli’s thoughtfulness and sincerity to see her clients succeed has been motivating and encouraging.
I would recommend working with Lesli without hesitation.”
–Jean Daniello, MS, RD, CDE, LDN
From Zero Clients To A Waiting List
“Lesli helped bring clarity and focus to my day to day. The breadth of knowledge Lesli has is impressive and I tapped into her expertise in a number of important ways. Week after week, Lesli over-delivered in her commitment as my coach and I will always have her to thank for my profitable business. I went from zero clients to having a waiting list!”
–Danielle Aberman, RDN, CLT, CHWC

I’m making more money!
“Before I worked with Lesli, I felt really torn. Working with Lesli helped me realize that people actually want what I have to offer – they just needed to get to know me.
Every single discovery call becomes a client these days – unless I don’t think they are a good fit.
After working with the coaching language from Lesli, it feels more natural. I used to dread these calls and felt awkward, but now I look forward to them. I don’t feel yucky or salesy at all!
It feels great to know how to listen, reflect, ask more questions, and then give helpful feedback that gives them hope.
I’m at the point where I can take these calls from the gym! This is a real gift.”
–Karen Kennedy, MS, CN, IFNCP
www.RealFood-Matters.net
Lesli really cares and wants you to succeed!
“I felt I was stuck knowing where to find clients and starting an e-mail list, how to close a sale without sounding “salesly.”
I chose to take Lesli’s course because it seemed to touch on all the areas, I was feeling stuck. Also, Lesli seems genuine, and has a warmth about her, you can tell she really cares, and wants you to succeed.
The valuable things I learned are: More places to find clients, how to not feel like I’m not being pushy or trying to just “sell” to someone. I don’t like feeling like I’m being sold to or manipulated by someone to buy something, and I refuse to do that to other people. Her course gave me the tools to know how to approach people, and not feel that way.
I like coming together with people of like minds, and knowing I wasn’t the only one struggling with these things. I really like Lesli’s personality, she always has a smile on her face, is available for help, and willing to answer questions.
I feel Lesli’s most exceptional skills and talents are: Her ability to teach, and communicate, and doing it in a fun and interactive way!”

Extremely grateful for our work with Lesli!
“Lesli helped us to feel more confident in ourselves, our expertise, and our program! We were able to streamline our process so that we felt comfortable and more effective in our everyday work.
We were pretty lost when we started with her, and when finishing our work with her we had gained more clients, felt positive for the future, and were left extremely grateful for our work with Lesli!”

Made Over 28k in 3 Months!!
“Prior to working with Lesli, my business was not thriving. I was full of passion, I was full of drive, but the reality was I was not able to pay the bills. In 2016, I had about 12 clients, in 2017 I had about 17 clients, and my net income was negative.
When I spoke with Lesli on the phone, I knew without a doubt I needed her one-on-one, private exclusive access and support to mentor me and to take my practice – what I also call as ‘my ministry’ – to the next level.
In 2018, my first year working with Lesli, my number of clients increased by 47% and my gross income increased by 184%. For the first time, I had a positive net income. This alone gave me so much hope and so much motivation that I too can have a thriving nutrition practice.”

“Dietitians are brilliant – we really know our craft. But, honestly, we don’t have a lot of formal coursework in business – we just don’t. When I started working with Lesli, I only had a handful of clients.
Today, my business has at least tripled in both clientele and revenue. I have 4 employees, numerous service offerings, and a client base that’s growing with excellent client retention.
Lesli one of the most intuitive, kind and insightful business coaches out there and I would recommend her to any RDN looking to turn their dream of growing their business into reality!”

I have a solid business plan going into 2021 and feel confident with the direction I’m headed thanks to Lesli and EPIC!
“After working privately with Lesli, I absolutely grew! I gained a significant wait list and had a plan outlined for my business but really wanted a group of peer support. Enter EPIC!
In joining Lesli’s EPIC membership, I was part of a group of professionals all focused on growing their business. It was wonderful to meet a few times a month over Zoom and strategize together. The brainstorming was so helpful as was the support.
Each month we would have a focused topic such as social media, business organization, and hiring team members. Lesli provided handouts and documents to support the discussion, but the fact that it is in a group setting allowed for even more ideas and motivation from the success of others.
With EPIC, I was able to continue to grow my business. I was able to work ON my business and not just IN my business! Lesli and the group helps with goal setting, accountability, and feedback about progress we each see in our businesses.
I have a solid business plan going into 2021 and feel confident with the direction I’m headed thanks to Lesli and EPIC!”

I literally doubled my revenue in 6 months!
“When I first met Lesli, I was running ragged. I was working 50 hours a week, seeing 6 clients a day and I constantly felt pulled and over-stretched. It was exhausting and very stressful.
Since I started working with Lesli, my practice has grown immensely. I doubled my prices (which was scary) and then I literally doubled my revenue in 6 months!
Lesli is very easy to work with. Some days, I didn’t know what I was going and whether I was coming or going and Lesli was calm and supportive.
I just can’t believe how far I’ve come in 6 months. There’s no way I could’ve done it without her.”

Lesli Understands Leveraged And Passive Income!
“Lesli just understands the challenges unique to Dietitians. I truly wish I found her 3 or 4 years ago! It would have saved myself so much stress and agony. Lesli really understands the variety of business models out there for dietitians, including how to do group programs and sell products, great ways of breaking out of the 1:1 only model.
Before Lesli, I was resistant to moving into programs and packages, yet frustrated with the one-off appointments I was getting because I was afraid I was asking them to commit to so much.
Lesli helped me to shift my mindset and to see that I’m now asking my clients to commit to themselves, if they really want to get the results they say they want. Now I offer 3-month programs and I’m in a place where I turned things around and my practice is starting to really blossom. I’m just so grateful for that guidance and that help!”

I made $2,300 in revenue AND I’m excited for the an opportunity to move many of these people into the next step in my sales funnel which will be my 1:1 platinum level coaching program. Not a bad paycheck for 3 Zoom sessions at $767/hour!”

Tackled My Target Market Messaging and Signature Program
“Lesli is so encouraging and very knowledgeable about what dietitians need to know to build a successful business. When I began working with Lesli, my business was not really going yet, but I knew I needed help in determining my audience and target message, marketing my business, and developing a “signature program”.
Lesli helped me gain confidence in starting my business and shared specific ideas on how to develop a signature program/platform. She is so encouraging and very knowledgeable about what dietitians need to know to build a successful business as well as what NOT to do, and really cares about her clients. I enjoyed working with her very much!”

Today I enrolled 2 new clients and made $3500
“There have been so many MONTHS over the past 8 years that I have only made $3500 the entire month. And, one of the patients I enrolled today has fallen through the cracks medically, and I believe his life would have really been at stake if he hadn’t found me.
The enrollment conversation we had today gave he and his family the first and only glimmer of hope they have had because I can tell they are fearful for his life (and they are all chipping in to pay for his care). He and they had started to lose hope, and I really believe the way I used to run my business would not have produced this result.
I just wanted to let you know that 4 days into December, I have already made enough money to pay my bills for about the entire month.”

The Academy is Worth Every Penny! My Revenue Increased and I’m Enrolling 50% More Clients!
“Before working with Lesli in the 6 Figure Biz Academy, I was stuck in the one-session-at-a-time model which made it really difficult to make a living doing this work. My clients would come and go and my income was very sparse. I needed help in restructuring my services and finding my ideal clients.
Lesli helped me to fine tuned my offerings to two packages and a continuation program. I learned how to position and sell my programs to my niche, how to enroll new clients into my programs, how to create compelling and results oriented packages and group programs, and gained confidence in recognizing the incredible value I offer my clients.
I’m thrilled that I have increased my revenue by 25% since working with Lesli and I’ve enrolled 50% more clients after implementing these changes.
If you are considering joining the 6 Figure Biz Academy – I’d say it’s absolutely worth the investment! You’ll learn things you haven’t even thought of and most importantly – how to put these strategies into action!”

Made an extra $31,440 in 6 Months working 4 Days Per Week Via a 1:1 Signature Program and my First Online Course!
“Before working with Lesli, I was feeling stuck in a pattern of overwhelm and was feeling burned out and frustrated with trying to fill my calendar with “stand-alone” sessions.
Even though I love what I do, I knew my current business model was unsustainable – I was tired of clients disappearing after a session or two and I realized that I had some blocks that I just couldn’t work through on my own. I was tired of spinning my wheels so decided to work with Lesli because of her successful track record – I was confident she could help me to take my business to the next level.
During our 6 months together I enrolled 17 clients into a 3-month program at a $1,497 investment level ($25, 449) working only 4 days per week. And even better is the fact that I’m able to take on fewer clients and able to drill deep into the work, which means my clients are also getting better results in a shorter time span
Lesli is amazing…if you are thinking about working with her- I recommend that you do it! I don’t know how she does it or what her “magic” is but you will come out of each session crystal clear on what you need to do to move your business forward and you’ll be energized and confident that you can succeed.”

Lesli is a Skilled Coach That Can Help You Scale FAST!
“Prior to joining the EPIC group, I was stuck mostly with marketing and improving my website and needed ideas on how to get my name out there and market with purpose rather than by accident. I was really attracted to her [EPIC] group program because I got not only her expertise but also a community of other practitioners to connect with!
In my time working with Lesli I was able to create a website video – something I had been wanting to do forever – and design free challenges to get more clients. Lesli asks very poignant questions that help you get the heart of what you are trying to accomplish. She is especially helpful for practitioners just starting out who want to scale fast and aren’t sure how to do that, and she gives you the tools you need to stay focused on the things that matter for your bottom line.”

In addition, 2 people signed up for both my private coaching program and bought the course which added another $3,400 in revenue and one person who viewed the webinar signed up for my 1:1 program @ $1,500 which for a grand total of $8,600 in revenue for my first launch.”

Sold 7 Client Packages Within the First 4 Months!
”I needed help creating packages and programs so that I could begin to offer an appealing cash pay option for clients versus having an insurance-only based practice. With Lesli’s help, I was able to determine my ideal client and develop packages and programs specific to their needs.
I learned how to have an enrollment conversation and moved from doing business with potential clients mainly through email to a more personal approach that resulted in clients booking sessions and purchasing packages. After developing two types of packages with the tools I learned, I sold 7 packages within 4 months of joining!
Lesli is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also sincere – she truly cares about the success of her clients. It was well worth the investment!”

Launched several programs and made over $8k
“Lesli has been instrumental in helping me develop group programs which have increased my revenue streams and allowed me to pursue two of my business goals: 1) increase my ability to work with thousands of people nationwide by offering group-based services; and 2) decrease my reliance on insurance.
With Lesli’s support, I’ve created several programs, including a 10-week group program that generated nearly $5,000 in revenue, a 14-day challenge that sold 30 copies of my book, and a 12-week program that generated $3,000 in revenue – all in just their initial launches! “

Best of all, she helped me have more confidence in myself.”
