👋 Hey Gildre! I’m Frances Pratt, joining in from Melbourne, Australia — land of great coffee and even greater conversations.
Quick Snapshot:
I help people learn to love selling, and companies how to love their sales people.
With over 30 years in sales (doing it, leading teams, consulting and coaching) I am now a Sales Coach and Fractional Sales Director. A client whisperer for founders who’d rather poke their eye out than “do sales.” With 20+ years across B2B tech, Saas, professional services, and creative industries, I’ve built and led high-performing sales teams, overhauled rusty pipelines, and helped ambitious businesses turn "hopeful selling" into high-converting systems. I’ve coached hundreds of founders — especially women — to sell with confidence, clarity and zero cringe. I’m also the author of More Sales Less Marketing, a sales guide for humans who want results without the yuck.

🚀 What I Bring:
I help growing businesses fix the real sales problem — the messy mix of mindset, method and misalignment. Whether it's reimagining your team structure, building a repeatable sales process, or stepping into a more strategic revenue role — I help you sell smarter, not louder. I’ve got a sixth sense for why things aren’t converting (and what will). I’ll bring the frameworks and the fire.

🔍 What I’m Looking For:
I’m here to connect with purpose-led founders, advisors, and collaborators who care about people and profits. I’m especially drawn to those who want to make sales a strategic superpower — not just a function. Bonus points if you love a good metaphor, believe in meaningful business, and enjoy a cheeky analogy involving yellow brick roads.

🙌 How You Can Help:
Intros to founders who are overwhelmed by sales or unsure how to grow a team that actually sells
Collabs on strategic sales projects, especially Fractional Sales Director work
Open doors to networks that support women founders, consultants, and changemakers

🌱 Why I’m Here:
Gildre stood out to me — smart humans, strong convictions, no fluff. That’s my kinda crowd. I believe great selling is helping people buy — and that, done right, it can change lives and grow legacies. Keen to swap stories, bust some sales myths, and cheer each other on.

Looking forward to connecting and co-creating!

Thank you to @Michael J Frank for the introduction here.
