12 Weeks To Peak™ · Private sales and business advisory
Who helps you make the hard calls?
Your team looks to you for answers. Who do you turn to when the decision is yours?
Work directly with me, Wes Schaeffer, for 12 weeks. Candid advice on the sales, business, and leadership decisions in front of you.
$15,000 upfront · or three $5,750 payments ($17,250 total)
I take on two new clients a month. A conversation about your situation, with no obligation to proceed.

Access between callsAdvice as real situations develop
The owner’s side of the table
You have people doing the work. You need someone to think it through with you.
A prospect wants a discount. A key employee isn’t performing. A client keeps stretching the agreement. Your calendar is full, but the priorities keep changing.
You need someone outside the business who can ask the uncomfortable question, challenge the easy answer, and help you decide what to do next.
That is my role.
What we work on
Your business. Your decisions. A candid second perspective.
No generic curriculum. We work through the actual situation, then come back to what happened and what needs to change.
Pricing and client decisions
Hold your price, change the offer, renegotiate, or walk away? We’ll examine the trade-offs rather than defaulting to another discount.
Leadership and difficult conversations
Work through what needs to be said to a client, employee, partner, or vendor—before you have the conversation.
Priorities and planning
What matters this week? What can wait? What needs to happen over the next 12 weeks, and what should stop consuming your attention?
The working relationship
Real situations. Regular conversations.
Begin
Start with what matters now.
We identify the decisions, constraints, and priorities that make the engagement worthwhile. No completed workbook required.
Work together
Two private calls each week.
Bring the live deal, the difficult conversation, or the decision on your desk. Every 30-minute call is with me. Direct advisory access is included between calls.
Put it to work
You decide. Your team acts.
We inspect progress and adjust together. The 12 Weeks To Peak™ planner is available if it helps. It’s not another course to complete.
We agree on business-day communication arrangements before enrollment. Additional short calls depend on availability; direct access does not mean immediate or round-the-clock availability.
Clear from the start
Private advice. Not outsourced execution.
We diagnose problems, examine options, prepare conversations, and make plans together. You and your team carry out the decisions.
No outsourced research, custom reports, copywriting, CRM builds, AI installation, campaign production, vendor management, or project execution between calls.
If you want an experienced adviser, not another contractor, we should talk.
I founded The Sales Whisperer® in 2006 after selling for a living following my service in the Air Force. Since then, I’ve taught, advised, written books, hosted hundreds of podcast conversations, and spoken to business audiences internationally.
My work centers on the sales conversations, follow-up, technology, and human decisions that determine whether a business works. We apply that experience to your situation without turning the engagement into a technology project.
“I will show up, listen carefully, challenge what needs challenging, and give you candid advice. You remain the decision-maker.”
Wes Schaeffer, The Sales Whisperer®
Who this is for
Is this the right relationship for you?
You do not need to be in a crisis. You do need a reason that focused, private advice would be valuable now.
A good fit
- You lead an established business and have consequential decisions to make.
- You want direct access to an experienced, independent adviser.
- You or your team can implement the decisions.
- You can fund the engagement without depending on a promised quick return.
A different service
If you need someone to complete projects, manage employees, or guarantee a revenue number, this engagement is not that service.

Discuss the engagementTwo private 30-minute calls each week. Direct advisory access between calls. Implementation remains with you and your team. I take on two new clients a month.
This is a fixed engagement, not a cancel-anytime membership. No automatic renewal. No guaranteed financial result. We agree on the service and payment terms before you enroll.
Straight answers
Before we talk.
Is this a course, cohort, or group membership?
No. This is private advisory with me. Every conversation addresses your business, your decisions, and your circumstances.
Will this give me more homework?
We identify actions worth taking. You decide how to carry them out with your team. There is no required curriculum or workbook to finish before you can ask a question.
Can we review my pipeline, proposal, or pricing?
Yes. Bring the relevant information into the conversation. We can inspect it and work through the decision live. Sending material does not create a research, rewriting, or implementation assignment between calls.
Can I contact you between scheduled calls?
Yes. Business-day advisory access by text and email is included. We establish communication arrangements before starting, and additional short calls can be arranged when available. This is not immediate or round-the-clock access.
What happens after 12 weeks?
The engagement ends. If further advisory work makes sense for both of us, we can agree on it separately. There is no automatic renewal.
Do you guarantee a financial result?
No. I commit to the advisory service we agree on. Results depend on the circumstances, your decisions, and the work you and your team carry out.
The next step is a conversation
Bring the decision you’re facing.
Tell me what’s happening. Ask your questions. We’ll determine whether this is the right way to work together.
