— ASCEND CONSULTING
Cold calling,
made simple.
Rise . Refine . Deliver
Open more doors. Build more conversations. Win more business. Stop avoiding the phone, start winning the conversations that grow it.
Sales confidence starts with the right conversation.
Ascend Consulting exists for one reason: to help small business owners feel genuinely confident about prospecting and cold calling. Through The Confident Caller, my signature coaching approach, you'll build consistent pipelines, book more sales meetings and turn everyday conversations into real business.
Great sales was never about pushing someone through the door. It's about knowing how to open it, with warmth, with curiosity, and with genuine care for the person on the other end of the line.
When the market shifts, the businesses that keep growing are the ones still picking up the phone.
Ascend Consulting teaches sales professionals how to turn cold calls into real appointments through genuine human connection... built on 20 years of proven new-business sales experience.
— SOUND FAMILIAR?
What if prospecting felt this natural?
You're ready for more of the right conversations... the kind that turn genuine connections into real business.
You know your business. You know what you offer. You know it's valuable.
But turning that into a confident phone call? That's the part that trips people up.
It might look a little like this:
You're not sure who you should actually be calling, so the list sits there while you find something else "more important" to do first.
You freeze the second someone picks up, even though you could talk about your product for an hour with a colleague.
You've been told to "just be more confident," as if that's something you can switch on.
You get past the gatekeeper and then don't know what to say next.
You're having great conversations but stall on objections, follow-up, and knowing when to push and when to let go.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're exactly who this was built for.
"
Confident selling was never about having the perfect script.
It's about a clear approach, the right tools and the confidence to have conversations that feel natural and not scripted.
Together, we'll find your own way of selling, build real connections, and turn more conversations into opportunities.
Less overthinking. More confidence. Better conversations. More doors open.

— WHAT PEOPLE WHO KNOW ME SAY
I've known Behrokh for over 25 years, long before Ascend Consulting ever existed. I spent years as a sales manager for the largest shipping company in the world, so I've worked with plenty of salespeople and if I ever needed to fill a sales role, Behrokh would be my first call, hands down. She's one in a million, not just in natural skill, but in the way she moves through life generally. She's the real deal. Watching her build a coaching practice around that same honesty has been genuinely special to see. If you're on the fence about picking up the phone, she's exactly the person who'll get you there without asking you to lose yourself in the process.
