In this episode of the Quotable Podcast, Alessandra sits down with Sarah Noel Block, founder of Tiny Marketing, to talk about something every service-based founder needs but few systemize well: predictable lead generation.

Sarah shares how losing tens of thousands of dollars in contracts - twice - forced her to build a trackable, repeatable sales system that now consistently books her out. From niche Slack communities to gateway offers and "consensual selling," this conversation dives into practical strategies for building a steady pipeline without feeling salesy or burned out.

If you've ever scrambled for clients after a busy season, this episode will completely shift how you think about referrals, visibility, and sustainable growth.
