Hi. I'm Celeste. I wear two professional hats. I sell and train full time in the Gap Selling Methodology (think b2b sales teams) and I am the Co-Founder of Sales on Tap - an always on community specifically for hospitality sellers. Here for two reasons: 1. I work for someone who has built a really big brand for themselves. I have not (yet), so I want to get better at understanding content...writing, storytelling, not being so long winded, gaining confidence, and building my own self-sourced pipeline. In the last three years I can count on a few fingers the number of direct inquiries I've had from LinkedIn. So - that has to change as I'm not creating my own self generated pipeline and that is where I make a huge commission split. Goal would be $150k - $200k in self generated pipeline by YE from LinkedIn. Currently running a 52% close rate, so just have to find the right people. My ICP never comments on my posts. So, I'm not doing something right there. 2.Content takes me a long time - so having a community that can help, where I can learn and grow and get advice is appreciated. I'm on a lot of calls so taking that and actually having a content PLAN is what I'm looking forward to honing this next year. I could go on and on but this isn't therapy - so there you go! 46 years old - left corp 6 years ago to go out on my own to be "free" - mom to a 7 year old and chasing fittest by 50! Know I have al of the skills to absolutely crush it - just need some tweaking.

I've been running lead generation campaigns for 10 years now, started my agency kungpowmarketing.com in 2021! LinkedIn is a HIT for my best-fit client: BORING b2b business owners! We create lead magnets, paid media campaigns, and funnels in 90d sprints to help those businesses add tons of value and build trust with their target market to kick off their typically very-long sales cycles with a BANG. Nice to meet you all today. Add my LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylemeags/

Glad to be here. I help founders install an AI Operating System which makes their business easier to run. Every day, new AI tools flood the market. Most do the same thing, each with its own learning curve and adoption headache. The result is confusion, wasted time, and uncertainty about whether you’re actually moving faster. We remove that noise by focusing on what truly matters: operations. By combining AI literacy principles with Custom GPTs, automations, and our AI Operating System framework, we help companies run strategically instead of chaotically.

I spend most of my time with founders right around a very predictable moment in team growth—somewhere between 15 and 25 people—when what used to work suddenly doesn’t. Decisions slow down. Everything still routes through you. Leadership feels heavier than the work itself. Not because people aren’t capable—but because the way the team works together hasn’t evolved yet. I’ve lived this from multiple sides: leading teams at Shopify, building a digital agency, and helping founders navigate this exact transition. Over time, I realized the issue isn’t culture or talent—it’s that most organizations outgrow their original operating logic long before they notice. Today, I help teams redesign how they work in a more human, adaptive way—by building shared leadership habits, a more precise decision flow, and lightweight systems that evolve with the team rather than locking it in place. When that happens, ownership spreads, momentum returns, and the business becomes less dependent on a few people at the center. I’m here because I love these conversations and the people building companies that need to adapt without losing themselves in the process. If this moment in growth sounds familiar, I’m always happy to compare notes.

What's up community! I'm Brent here in Phoenix Arizona, making my transition from ~20 years in corporate medtech companies to now offering fractional services to venture-backed startups, helping bridge the gap between technical excellence and commercial success. I've been posting on LI for ~15 months, but now turning the corner to drive more top of the funnel activity to support my business. I'm excited to sharpen my skills and learn from y'all. Outside of work, we have four teenagers and love spending time in our community and church.
