YOU'VE BUILT THE BUSINESS.
NOW LET'S FIGURE OUT WHAT GETS IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
You've got customers. You're making sales. You've proven the business works.
But there's probably a bloody long list of things you could be working on.
More traffic. Better conversion. Higher margins. Wholesale. Email. Inventory. Your product mix. Your team. Your systems.
The question is:
What actually deserves your attention right now?
That's where I come in.
WORK WITH ME
I help established product founders look at the whole business, identify the biggest constraint or opportunity, and turn that into a clear focus for profitable growth.
You don't need another 47 strategies. You need to know which lever to pull next.
TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
READY FOR MY EYES ON YOUR BUSINESS?
You want my eyes directly on YOUR business.
You want my eyes directly on your business.
Sometimes you need more than another course or group program.
You need experienced eyes on your numbers, stock, sales, margins, marketing and opportunities.
Work with me privately through a focused Power Hour or a longer 3-month consulting partnership.

READY TO BUILD THE NEXT LEVEL?
You've built the business. Now you want ongoing support to make it stronger, more profitable and less reliant on you figuring everything out alone.
Inside Scale, we identify the current constraint, choose the priority, take action, measure what moved and repeat.
No trying to fix everything at once.
Just knowing what matters now and having the strategy and accountability to move it forward.

ONGOING STRATEGIC SUPPORT
If you need:
Clarity on your business direction.
You’ve got plenty of ideas. The problem is knowing which one actually deserves your attention right now.
Someone to see what you can’t.
Fresh eyes on your numbers, sales, profit, marketing, product mix and the whole bloody business, not just one piece of it.
A clear plan AND accountability.
Know what you’re working on, why you’re working on it and what needs to happen next.
Less guessing. Less random action. More focus on what actually moves the business.
THIS IS HOW I WORK
FIND THE CLUE.
FIND THE CONSTRAINT.
FOCUS ON WHAT MOVES THE NEEDLE.
Your numbers tell us where to look.
We figure out what’s really holding the business back, decide what deserves your attention now, then turn it into action.
No 47-point action plan required.

"Melissa changed my life. My whole damn life. I simply wouldn't be where I am in my business if not for her."
She gave me the confidence to back myself and understand exactly how to price my product for selling retail, wholesale and for exporting overseas too. Thanks to Mel I am now making so much more profiit in my business and I also have the confidence to figure out the prices, sales and marketing strategies of all my future products.

"After working with Mel I tripled my stockists! I absolutely loved the guidance Mel gave me on every aspect of building my brand. "
I also launched in the US Market, with two main stockists there. Since June, these two stockists have placed 15 repeat orders alone!. Mel's no BS and down to earth approach is fantastic for getting in and getting things done.. I loved Mel's experience in wearing the shoes of a brand herself, but then also as a stockist. It was so helpful to have that lens of both sides of things given to my time working with Mel. Working with thelotco was so valuable to me personally, and to the trajectory of my business x

"Mel has been instrumental in my business success. Her ability to combine creative thinking and ideas with practical no nonsense action is unique. "
She has so much experience on all sides of running a successful and profitable product business. From starting out with manufacturing/supply chain, setting pricing to range development and then the actual sales and marketing strategies to successful sell that product. She can help push you further than you ever dreamed possible!

"I'm still blown away by how much truly helpful information Melissa was able to pack into one session!"
Talking with Mel is like opening a new world of potential. She was able to quickly assess my business’s strengths and weaknesses in a way that allowed me to take concrete action right away. She gets straight to the point while also being so warm and understanding. She also went above and beyond to send a detailed recap of everything we covered so I had an instant game plan. I can already tell that my traffic and opportunities to connect with new customers is going to grow a ton from implementing what we discussed.
