PRESENCE-FORWARD MARKETING
PHILOSOPHY
Presence-Forward Marketing prioritizes being in the room over being in the feed.
We lean in to delivering speeches, leading webinars, attending events, and guesting on podcasts because these are the places where audiences are already gathered and paying attention.
Every B2B talk should do two things:
Serve the audience with value.
Serve your business with more leads.
"From 2–3 leads per conference to 30, 40, even 50+. Revenue up 62% year over year."
"My first presentation with Sharí's advice generated $1M in new raise. The next raised another $1M. And the next brought in $2M."
"Our best presentations converted 50–75% of audiences into leads. She changed how our entire team thinks about speaking."
Are You Speaking, But Not Seeing Payoff?
- The average B2B speaker converts only 5% of audiences into new leads.
- Our clients consistently convert 30-50% of every audience into warm leads.

Meet Sharí Alexander
For almost 20 years, I've had the great privilege of helping founders, consultants, and executives transform their expertise into talks that transform audiences.
Most marketing happens through screens and algorithms. Presence-Forward Marketing works differently. When you're speaking, you're not competing with a newsfeed. When you are present with your audience, you have attention, context, and something AI can't replicate.
I work with people who are already good at what they do; they just want their speaking to reflect that.
My clients are founders running seven- and eight-figure businesses, consultants with decades of expertise, executives who are the face of their firms. I offer the systems, clarity, and thought partnership that connects the craft and the business strategy.
Curious if your speeches could be doing more for your audiences & your business?
"There's no doubt that Sharí's elevated our influence throughout our industry. I had no idea how impactful she would end up being, not only to my brand and my thought leadership, but also in growing the business. We’ve experienced significant growth. Sharí has helped me find clarity in our message, launch new services, and help me leverage speaking opportunites and added $2M in ARR to our business."
