Sound familiar?

If you’re like our amazing clients when they first found us, these might sound strangely familiar.

Any of these hitting a little too close to home?

  1. No predictable pipelineThe referrals dried up, and now you’re out of leads with no clear path to getting more.
  2. Underpriced and over-accommodatingYou’re charging by the hour on old corporate rates instead of what you’re actually worth.
  3. No focus, no systemYou’re reinventing the wheel for every client because you’re afraid to specialize.
  4. Buried in operationsThe operational minutiae no one warned you about is quietly sucking the life force out of you.
  5. Behind on AIYou’re so skeptical of AI that AI-native competitors are stealing your market share.
  6. Confidence erodingDetractors in your inner circle and negative talk tracks are eroding your confidence.
  7. Feast-or-famine revenueOne month you made $14,000, the next just $3,000 — a roller coaster you can’t get off.
  8. Trapped in “yes”Desperate for the next gig, you say yes to everything and leave your negotiating power at the door.
  9. Everything but the resultsYou’ve done everything you’re “supposed to do” — gurus, courses, coaches — and still have little to show for it.

To put it mildly, this isn’t what you signed up for.

But you’re not alone.

A letter from Amanda

I’ve been right where you are now.

Hey — I’m Amanda Northcutt, Founder & CEO of LevelUp. I’ve been right where you are now. After having consulted for hundreds of companies over the last 20 years, I’ve felt all these things, lived through all these scenarios myself, and it sucks.

And I’m so sorry this is happening to you, and that you haven’t been able to find your way out yet. I know it’s not for lack of effort or intelligence.

Please know that you’re not alone. The list above is what hundreds of B2B consultants and coaches tell me every year. What you’re experiencing is unfortunately common, but it shouldn’t be normal.

You just haven’t had the chance to snag 25 years of full-stack business operations know-how while you were acquiring your own domain expertise. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s why I started LevelUp.

I believe that business is simple, but it’s not easy.

Sales (or lack thereof…) is the #1 problem standing between you and the financial reward and lifestyle you deserve. Everything we offer centers around enabling you to sell matchmake with clarity and confidence as a peer, to your best-fit clients. We’ve got you.

If what I’ve written here deeply resonates with you and your lived experience, I believe that you have what it takes, and that I can hold space for you until you can believe that for yourself. I’ve got your back.

AmandaAmanda Northcutt, Founder & CEO, LevelUp
It felt like having experienced operators fully immersed in my business for two straight days. I left with a practical plan, a tremendous amount of clarity, and a deep sense of peace about what comes next.

How we work

We don’t sell — we matchmake.

I know you think you’re not ready, or you have to achieve some self-imposed artificial marker of validation before reaching out to us for help. But just this once, why don’t you let the experts make a recommendation on whether you’re a good fit for our kind of help or not?

  • No games.
  • No bullshit.
  • No ridiculous promises.
  • No yucky tactics that leave you feeling like you need to take a shower.

We have happy, fulfilled, successful clients here, and that doesn’t happen by picking the wrong ones. If we can help you, we’ll tell you so.

If we’re not a fit, we’ll send you to someone who can. Our entire business depends on it – we’re not messing around here, and we know you’re not either.

LevelUp got me off my ass with a specific, focused plan that transformed my side gig into my main income and made me a successful solopreneur.

Testimonials

In their own words.

A few of the founders we’ve had the privilege to work with.

  • You get this one-on-one expertise that’s so dialed into you and your business. It helped me be able to think about my business in a much more holistic way than I ever could have in a virtual environment. I stepped into this today finally wearing my big CEO hat. I would say invest, invest, invest — and when you invest in Amanda, you’re investing in yourself.

    Laura KingExecutive Recruiter, Speaker, Coach, Author
  • I’ve had some consulting experiences, but this was at a whole different level. Everybody I’ve been dealing with, from Amanda to everybody on the team, have been consultants in the field, and they know the exact issues I’m dealing with. And that makes a huge difference. I really got a huge refresher course on everything that was covered throughout the entire LevelUp course, and it just brought everything front and center for me. If you’re thinking about this for more than two seconds, you’re wasting your time. This is an incredible opportunity, and if Amanda is offering it, you should take her up on it.

    Steven PivnikAuthor, Keynote Speaker, Advisor
  • Before working with LevelUp, most of my offerings ranged from $2,500 to $20,000. After just one quarter working with them, we have completely redesigned the foundation of my business, and I now have compelling programs I feel confident offering from $20,000 to $100,000+. More importantly, I feel like I finally have a business model that better reflects the value I can create for organizations. LevelUp didn’t just help me tweak my offers—they helped me rethink and mature the business around my expertise.

    Ryan Gottfredson, PhDAuthor, Keynote Speaker, Leadership Consultant
  • I feel so much more clear and excited about moving forward based on the plans we made. The biggest benefit was having so much uninterrupted time to focus on my business with someone as experienced as Amanda. Going into the next few months, I feel really excited about the plan we made, and I feel capable of following through on it. I honestly wish I had done this sooner. The clarity I gained today was so worth it, and I feel so much more ready for what’s next!

    Shane BirkelCouples Coach, Podcast Host, LMFT
  • Amanda was a trusted and reliable partner who could dive into any area of our business and quickly solve problems, while delivering excellent work. She cares deeply and genuinely about other people and helps bring out the best in them. She will make your mission her mission, and she has all the chops needed to bring it to fruition. This is the person you want running your business... not your competitor’s.

    Troy ConquerPresident & Co-Founder, Go Nimbly
  • Amanda has been one of my key strategic thought partners. She is a gifted listener and would quickly develop a keen understanding of my situation and problems. Her insight and advice was always spot on and incredibly helpful. If you’re facing a pivot, a key organizational change, or simply looking to accelerate your organization, Amanda would be a valuable consultant and partner.

    Jason JumonvilleCFO, New Story
  • It felt like having experienced operators fully immersed in my business for two straight days. I left with a practical plan, a tremendous amount of clarity, and a deep sense of peace about what comes next.

    Katherine GoldsteinJournalist, Author, Speaker, Advisor
  • Working with Amanda was an amazing experience. In a very short time she was able to redirect my focus towards putting systems in place to build profit centers in areas I enjoyed working on, and helped me develop a plan to reach my financial and lifestyle goals.

    Andrew KilzerGM, TexAgs Production Group
  • I feel like I am operating at a higher level now from the standpoint of thinking like a CEO. You guys have me believing in my heritage and my name a lot more.

    Jon GigantiLeadership Coach & CEO
  • Like many founders and experts, I’m usually the one focused on everyone else — my clients, my team, my business. Spending an entire day with Amanda, where her full attention was dedicated to me and my business, was profoundly valuable. What amazed me most was how quickly she cut through the noise. Amanda listens deeply, identifies patterns almost instantly, and translates those insights into practical, immediately usable solutions. In a single day, we accomplished more than we could have in multiple virtual sessions spread over months. […] Time in person with Amanda isn’t just consulting — it’s an accelerant.

    Therese MiclotAuthor, Speaker, Executive Coach, Advisor
  • I came into LevelUp’s first cohort knowing what I needed and not knowing how to get it. What I told my dad at the time was: I need someone who knows sales, whose coattails I can grab, who I can go along with while they teach me how this actually works. That is exactly what I got with Amanda. It is the single biggest impact anyone has had on my business and on me as a founder. I’m an exponentially better leader for it, and my business is in a position I never could have imagined. One where I can take a step back and lead, instead of run harder. If you get the chance to learn sales from Amanda, take it.

    Kristina FlynnFounder & CEO, StoryEQ
  • I’m a proven case study that it works. To go from 10K MRR to 50K MRR—that’s $120,000 a year to $600,000 a year. For the first time ever, I was able to buy a house for my three kiddos. It has been truly life-changing.

    Amanda GoetzCEO & Founder, HLG Projects
  • Within 20 minutes Amanda identified our core problem that was holding us back and recommended an actionable solution. Not hypothetical advice—a real answer to a problem I’d struggled with for months. One of the most impactful business conversations in a decade.

    Joe LamoureuxFounder
  • Amanda and her entire team are top-notch. They truly act as my fractional team of advisors and have provided guidance on my overall business strategy. I have clear steps to move my online business forward.

    Daniel ElizaldeProduct Executive, Author, Advisor
  • Amanda has gone above and beyond as a consultant, true to her word and delivering on time. Her depth of knowledge solved business problems we couldn’t tackle in-house. Her assistance has been invaluable and I would recommend her expertise to anyone.

    Matt TagliaviaDirector of Retail Operations
  • LevelUp already paid for itself and I just joined. One suggestion Amanda made almost immediately doubled our salesperson’s productivity. WOW! This is no ordinary “program” - with LevelUp, I have an entire team of experts.

    Ashlee Allison-BerendsChief Operating Officer
  • Honestly, I’ve worked with a lot of agencies and these guys were by far the most efficient. Process and operations were phenomenal. Amanda gave me such clear guidelines on what was needed. LevelUp has a super clear process in place.

    Barbara MigdollFounder, Business Owner
  • On Monday’s work session I made huge progress on a new lead magnet for my YouTube channel Amanda Northcutt encouraged me to create... I already have 150 new subscribers just through the lead magnet! Note to self: Keep doing whatever Amanda tells me to do.
