Skill alone won't pay you. Knowing how to sell it will.

I'm Lois Ugbe, a sales trainer, speaker and founder. I help business owners, service providers and creatives turn what they know into income, without discounts, begging or sounding desperate.

Hi, I'm Lois.

In 2021 I was a corps member with real tech skills, and some days I could not afford sachet water. I didn't grow up poor. I went to good schools. What I lacked was leverage: money to fall back on and people to call.

So I learned to sell what I knew. Within about two months of starting my business, I had made $3,000, trained more than 20 people and signed 5 clients. That record won me a grant that required a year in business, when mine was under six months old.

Today I'm a founder, I convene The Big Conference, I host the Business Mindset Podcast, and I teach people across Africa how to sell what they know.

What I believe

The CEO is the chief salesperson.

If you own the business, selling is your job. Nobody can explain your value better than you.

Positioning determines profitability.

Two people can offer the same service at very different prices. The difference is how they are seen.

Follow-up is non-negotiable.

Most sales are lost in the silence after "how much?" The money is in what you say next.
