Grab a FREE resource & start getting traction today!
Being an expert at what you do and running a successful business are two different things. I'm here to show you everything you need to know to be the CEO of your business and continually generate leads, clients and revenue.
If you’re like the clients I work with, you’re incredible in your area of expertise, but finding clients, packaging your knowledge and navigating sales conversations is unchartered territory for you. Luckily, these skills can be taught.
Using a logical phased approach, you'll learn the business skills you need, to launch and grow a service business that aligns with your goals, values, strengths and skill set.
Does this sound like you?
-
You need to replace the salary you were earning as an employee, but it's turning out to be too much work and taking too long
-
You're constantly tied to your laptop and always working. The only time you're not, is when you're eating or sleeping- but still you're not getting the results you want
-
-
You have the expertise, but lack the business skills needed to run your own business. Things like money management and marketing are time consuming and confusing
-
You don't know how to turn your wealth of knowledge into an offer that will appeal to the clients you want to attract
-
-
You've never had to secure your own clients before and sales conversations give you sweaty palms & have you running for the hills
-
-
You need practical guidance, such as templates, cheat sheets and and fill in the gap documents, so you can implement fast and turn this ship around
-
You’re fed up with the feast or famine client cycle, you have clients today but nothing booked for the next 3 months and it's stressing you out
If you’re thinking ‘That’s me’- then you’re in the right place!
Here’s what people are saying
What is Beyond The Hourly Rate®?
Beyond the Hourly Rate® is an online group program and community that offers a targeted approach to launching and growing your business, based on your chosen business model. Clients who join the program are people who sell their time - Creatives, Coaches and Consultants. The program provides a clear and logical path for you to follow, with the goal of helping you achieve scalability and flexibility in your business. With this program, you can gain the skills and support you need to build a successful and sustainable business.
This is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a unique platform that enables you to tackle the issues that are relevant to your business. With our phased approach, you'll stay on track and know which area you need to be focusing on.
Because you're working with a strategy that's been tailored to you, you won't get lost in the training vault. It's easy to know which trainings are relevant for you to watch and you can effectively address the respective challenges in your business, in the right order, without wasting any time.
Moreover, our program provides you with all the necessary support, including strategy, coaching, accountability, and a thriving community to help you make informed decisions, up-skill, and bridge the gaps in your business foundations across seven key areas.
This isn’t just another course to watch and consume, this is where people like you - a Coach, Creative or Consultant come to learn the business skills needed to create a profitable service business.
The difference between staying where you are and becoming the business owner you see in your future, is implementing change.
Hey, I'm Sarah!
I’m a strategist and coach for service businesses who want to create a profitable business and scale beyond the hourly rate- and have time to live life along the way (aka without sacrificing every hour, dollar and relationship).
I know what it’s like to create a business which is reactive – that feels like you’re constantly in the hustle and grind mode - and I know what it’s like to proactively build a business that’s aligned to your values and strengths and functions with ease and flow - because I’ve done both.
Look, I get it, I know you don’t want to become a strategist or marketing expert, you want to do your thing – spend more time in your zone of awesomeness, serving your clients - & you need help to figure out the easiest way to get there- I've got your back.
I've been through the agency world, started a couple of businesses then sold them on when my personal circumstances changed. I have a deep understanding of how to create a successful service business and and now I spend my time sharing my knowledge and helping others succeed.
My coaching style is a little different to others. Working with me, we start your values and use them as an anchor, that way we know we're creating something you'll absolutely love. There’s no magic recipe to fixing your business, what works for one person, doesn’t work for another. I’m here to help you find the right way for you and your business.
If you’re a small service business wanting to make change and ready to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be then Beyond the Hourly Rate is for you.
Come and join me,
Sarah
Hey, I'm Sarah!
I'm a strategist and coach for Creatives, Coaches and Consultants who want to create a profitable service business.
I help you achieve your version of success, whether it's a shorter workweek, higher paying clients or scaling with employees.
I've done the study, been through the agency world as an employee and also created and sold two service businesses from the ground up. I have a deep understanding of how to create a successful business and now I spend my time sharing my knowledge and helping others succeed.
There are two ways to grow a business.
Reactively and proactively.
I know a bit about this, because in my time, I've created both!!!- and I can tell you, whilst the reactive one was successful, it pretty much sucked the life out of me!
A reactive business owner tends to take on any work, feel like they are constantly in hustle and grind mode, becoming a generalist, compete on price and is disaligned with their values.
In contrast, a proactive business owner has clear focus, learns where their sweet spot is, becomes known for their results, attracts their ideal clients and can charge higher rates.
My coaching style starts with your values, so we can use them in all the decision-making. After all, you want to build something that you love, right?
Join me, and the thriving community at Beyond the Hourly Rate if you're a small service business looking to earn more and have time for what matters most.
I'll help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want be.
Come on over,
Sarah x

Proactively build your service business your way.
Join the ‘all in one’ program for new and established service business owners committed to taking action and growing BEYOND THE HOURLY RATE®
If you’re ready to be proactive in your business and get laser focused, but you’re operating from a place of uncertainty, then this message is for you.
As well as years of working for big and small agencies, I've built two businesses from the ground up and sold them both when my personal circumstances changed. One was proactively designed, the other was reactive- you can guess which one made me happy!!!
Beyond the Hourly Rate® includes everything I wish I'd been taught to proactively create a business that aligned with me whilst serving those I enjoy working with- and it is waiting inside the program for you!
I'll take you through the 7 stages of launching and growing your service business so you always know where to prioritise your time.
In Phase 1... It's all about the 'What'
Strategy
First things first, we need a Strategy.
We anchor your business with your core values. Think of them as the compass that point you in the right direction. Once we have that figured out, decision making becomes a breeze!
Phase One is where the magic happens.
I''ll guide you through five core trainings to uncover what's working and what's not in your business. If you're just starting out, I've got your back! And if you're already established, I'll help you find the gaps and fill them up.
With clear guidance you'll have a master plan that aligns with your strengths and skillset. Say goodbye to overwhelm and hello to success! Together let's make business be easy and fun!
Your Core Strategy trainings cover;
YOU- Find your values & use them as an anchor in decision making
WHO- Identify your Ideal clients, let's get really clear on who you want to work with
WHAT - Service & Growth strategy - Decide what you’ll offer & how you’ll scale
HOW - What marketing strategy is best suited to you?
NOW - Let's create an actionable plan so you know where to focus
What comes from Phase 1 is unwavering clarity, confidence and direction. No more procrastinating, distraction, second guessing and comparing. Going forward, every hour you spend working on your business will be productive and focused and the logical phased approach will be your guide. At this point, you’ll be itching to take action, excited and incredibly motivated.
In Phase 2.. It's all about the 'How'
The training vault opens up and you’ll start learning new business skills and implementing the changes required using the phased approach. Along with my team, I’ve taken the best of all the strategies that my clients and I have used across the years, simplified them and taken out the guess work. There's an extensive training vault with videos showing you exactly what you need to do and resources including worksheets, templates, how to guides and fill in the blank forms so you have everything you need to support within the program to proactively implement at speed.
Mastering your Mindset so you can be the CEO of your buiness
Everybody has mindset issues, even the most successful people. Learning how to manage your mindset is not a once and done. You will have issues that you struggle with, they come again and again. If you don’t have the tools to work with, mindset issues can stop you in your tracks and this then becomes your ceiling.
In this phase we’ll be building your resilience muscle, setting you up for success. You’ll learn how to recognise what is really going on for you. I’ll share with you tools and techniques that will enable you to move through the process faster and reset yourself.
Magnetic Messaging so you attract your ideal clients
When someone likes what you have to say, they’ll listen but when they feel a connection with you they’ll want to buy from you.
The frameworks I use in this training will help you to articulate all those thoughts inside your head so you can gain a deep understanding of who your ideal client is on a personal level and create messaging that will really resonate with them. You want people to read your posts or website, listen to you on a podcast or have a conversation with you and think ‘Ooh this is EXACTLY who I’ve been looking for’.
I’ll take you through a process that enables you to literally get inside your ideal client’s head and speak in their language. We take it a step further and get to know them personally their aspirations, fears, even where you can find them. Forget the ‘20-50 year old female’ demographic, that’s way too broad- just think how different you are to your peers!
Unforgettable Service so your clients stick with you
From the core trainings you’ll already know what your offerings will be and have a clear growth strategy. Now we get into the nitty gritty. There are so many aspects to consider in creating your services, these trainings go into depth in each area and give you the how-to, so you can knock the socks off your clients and delight them whilst keeping good boundaries for yourself.
Creating Irresistible packages and offers
There are 4 key components to creating great packages and offers that compel people to buy - regardless of which structure you have chosen. Use the 10 steps to designing a service video training to curate each of your service offers and the fillable workbook provided.
Create an exceptional client experience
You want your clients to have an unforgettable experience with you from start to finish. We go deep into what makes an awesome customer experience. It’s not about lavish gifts, it’s about tapping into what your clients really value- and often that doesn’t cost a cent. Supported by templates and real-life examples that my clients and I use, you’ll have a range of ideas you can cherry pick from.
Setting boundaries
Hands up if you want to eradicate Scope creep, late invoices, lingering projects or your mum 'just popping in' when you're trying to be productive. Clear boundaries set a precedence of how you work and make expectations clear for everyone. In this training, I’ll show you when and how to implement these so that your time is highly respected whilst you stay connected to your client - and your mum!!!
Marketing so you always have leads
Once you’re really clear on your ideal client- who you want to attract are offering you’re ready to start marketing. This phase is massive and is an entire course in itself on how to market your service business!
I give you the trainings, cheat sheets, templates and workbooks to be able to confidently implement strategies that align with your strengths. Forget about ‘should’ marketing, this is about upskilling in strategies that are going to work for YOU. – let’s make it easy.
Focusing on just one the 5 powerhouse strategies will exponentially grow your audience and attract the people you WANT to work with, who see VALUE in what you do and are willing to PAY you what your worth. I’ll be teaching you how to get the mix right how to choose which strategy will work best for you.
Your marketing needs to…
Attract - new people who have never heard of you
Nurture - leads to build like, know and trust
Retain - extend the client journey and work together for longer
Refer - clients become your advocates and send you new clients
This bumper packed phase covers the strategies that are currently getting financial results in the business world. I’ll help you choose which strategies are relevant and effective so you can focus your time and effort in the right places.
I break down each strategy and give a stack of trainings. Here’s are a few examples of what’s in the training vault.
- Everything you need to know about Networking
- Running promotional workshops
- Getting booked as a podcast guest
- Attracting clients from business Facebook groups
- Setting up a Google business profile
- Creating insanely profitable Strategic Partnerships
- Linked In- with professional trainer Nicki Osbaldiston
- Creating a Lead magnet & follow up Emails
- Setting up different types of referral programs
*Please note this program does not cover Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest or Twitter but I have great connections if that's of interest to you.
Sales so you're always making money
If sales conversations leave you with sweaty palms and you’d rather run for the hills than pick up the phone, this phase is for you. Essentially sales is all about creating a win win for both you and your client as you help them find a solution to their problem.
In these trainings, I’ll be sharing;
- My favourite tool that enables conversations to go straight to a deep level of discussion around the real problems your prospects are struggling with.
- Successful sales calls - Not a sales script but a framework you can use to give you a conversational format- then you just find your own words. Created especially for introverts, this will bring a whole new perspective to sales.
- Sales from a new lens - Let’s scrap the word sales and replace it with solution hunting. Here’s my take on the S word.
- Creating a Foundational proposal - If formal proposals and pitches are expected in your industry then I'll show you how to create a professional foundational proposal that you can customise quickly for each opportunity. The format this proposal takes is completely different to the boring, self-promoting proposals that have prospects nodding off in their seat!
Money Management so you always have Profit First®
Imagine a financial system in your business where every dollar has a purpose, you’re taking a salary and profit monthly and you never have to worry about tax bills because have the money.
Profit First® will not only help you manage your money, it’ll also ensure you know how much you can invest in your business and highlight if you’re charging enough.

I have personally implemented Profit First® in my business and I can tell you – it’s absolutely brilliant and actually makes money management fun, seriously. The earlier you implement this in your business, the better.
We have a dedicated month where you’ll have the opportunity to watch all the trainings, implement the strategy in a step-by-step process and attend live trainings with Jennifer. This is an entire course in itself.

You don’t have to do business alone anymore.
When you join Beyond the Hourly Rate®, you’re not just joining a program, you’re joining a community of service business owners who, like you are proactive in their business. Surrounding yourself with the right people is instrumental to your outlook, mindset and ultimately your success.
Here’s what’s in the community;
-
Weekly Power Hour
Every Monday from 1-2pm I run a structured co-working session on zoom that sets you up for a week of productivity, proactivity and progress! Use it to plan your week, watch video trainings and implement strategies. We work in sprints with breaks. It's been coined the Power Hour because everyone says they get more done in that 60 minutes than any other 60 minutes during the week.
-
Mini Mastermind Group
You’ll have the option to participate in a Mini Mastermind group, so you can form closer connections with fellow program participants. In these sessions, your group will focus on each business in turn as you help each other problem solve. Working with a hive mind and getting an outside perspective is incredibly valuable to established as well as new business owners. Every few months we change up the groups so you connect with more people.
-
Active Private Linked In Group
This incredibly warm and welcoming Linked In group includes all the clients I work with, from the different cohorts as well as 1:1 clients.

Here’s what people are saying
I bet you're thinking...
Since I’ve been working in this space for a couple of decades now, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what you’re wondering about at this point! Here’s some of the most common questions we get asked:
What types of businesses are in the program?
We have people from all different backgrounds in the program including creatives, coaches and consultants. Some are solopreneurs, some have a support team behind them, such as a VA, bookkeeper, contractors and/or digital marketer and the larger ones are starting to grow their teams.
What if I can’t attend the live calls?
If you can’t attend a call, email in your question and it will be answered. All calls are recorded and kept in the platform for replay.
Who will be in my mastermind?
You’ll be grouped with likeminded business owners for your monthly mastermind meetings, this is a great opportunity to get to know others in the program on a deeper level. Mastermind groups are changed every few months to ensure you form deep connections with as many people in the community as possible.
Do you cover all social media platforms?
No, I focus predominantly on Business Facebook groups and Linked in, because that’s where I’m seeing the best results with my clients.
How do I get the most out of the program?
Show up to all the sessions, and block time in your diary for implementation. This isn’t a course where you just consume content, it’s what you do with that knowledge that will actually make the difference in your business.
What is the cancellation policy?
You may leave the program at any time but there are no refunds. Please read the Terms and Conditions thoroughly before signing up. If you select to pay monthly you are bound a legal contract to pay for the remaining months of your agreement.
What is the Regional Business Partner Network funding?
Beyond the Hourly Rate® is registered as a service with www.regionalbusinesspartners.co.nz under the management capability fund. This funding is available to SME’s in New Zealand who meet the criteria. Book a call to find out more.
I’m only just starting my business is this right for me?
Yes. Beyond the Hourly Rate® is great for business owners who want to get it right first time, avoid trial and error and start earning what they are worth.
I’ve been in business a while is this the right option for me?
Yes. If you want to be proactive and have gaps in your foundations, Beyond the hourly rate® will help you to quickly identify what those areas are then support you with the expertise, training and resources from the toolbox to implement change.
Do you guarantee I’ll get results from the program?
I have helped numerous service businesses to achieve their goals, pivot when needed and build solid foundations. However, your success is your responsibility and there are too many external factors to ever guarantee results. You need to be prepared to put in the work, be coachable, be held accountable and be proactive.
Do you teach all the technical aspects of running a business?
No. My personal view is that there are enough imperative tasks to running a business already. Yes you can build a business and DIY everything, but that’s the slow road. You’ll grow faster, start earning sooner and save a heap of brain ache by implementing a solid strategy and being client focused rather than tinkering around with code and all the technical aspects. I do, however, run a monthly Basic Tech Call to help you upskill and get your questions answered and we have an extensive network of trusted experts that I can refer you to.
Are there any 1:1 sessions or is it only group support?
Each participant is offered two 1:1 sessions at key points during the business mentorship.
