About Katie

Twenty-five years of selling,
and 150 million dollars to show for it

Katie Nelson has built her business around one message: cashflow is oxygen. As founder and CEO of Sales UpRising, she is committed to bringing the fun back into sales and turning small businesses into six-figure-plus players.

With 25 years of sales expertise and 150 million dollars sold in products and services, she believes solopreneurs and microbusinesses can reach their profit potential. She has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs to take companies from idea to thriving business.

She is adamant that any entrepreneur can be a salesperson, because sales is the key to a successful business and a skill available to everyone. Her whole mission is getting business owners to embrace it with confidence instead of dread.

Why hosts book her

Twenty-five years of hands-on experience with 150 million in proven results. Strategies an audience can use the same week. Energy, humor, and authenticity that make sales concepts land. And a genuine niche in helping solopreneurs break through revenue plateaus.

“Cashflow is oxygen.”

Katie Nelson

Not a catchphrase. Without consistent cash flow a business suffocates. With it, it grows.

Episode topics

Cashflow is oxygen

Ways to monetize skills without burning out. Pricing, packaging services, and building multiple revenue streams that fit the life you actually want.

Turning ideas into thriving businesses

Her own journey, the growth phases that matter, the sales and marketing that work at each one, and the mindset blocks that stop most people before the market does.

Doing more by doing less
