Ready to Land a 5 or 6 Figure Corporate Client in 90 Days? (1)
Yes, you!
Hi everybody, Steve here.
I have a confession: For too long, I played small.
I sold to nonprofits (and learned they had no profits)
I sold to consumers (always tight for money)
I sold to small businesses (same story)
Even the government was strapped and scared to spend (just like now)
And because I played small, I stayed broke.
Something had to change.
One day, a friend opened the door for me into the world of corporate contracting, with, of all companies, Microsoft. I stepped through . . .
and my life, and my financial world, changed, forever.
I went from chasing scraps to landing five and six figure contracts with some of the biggest companies in the world. And what I discovered is this: Corporations spend billions of dollars every year buying products and services from small businesses just like yours, just like mine.
They need what you sell - whether its a service, a product, whatever.
There is a bigger sandbox that you could play in, a sandbox with almost unlimited funds and needs.
That is where I come in.
I started playing in that bigger sandbox and I want you to, too.
Why? Because, my goal in life, as I say on my LinkedIn page, is to “make the world safe for entrepreneurs.”
Entrepreneurs like YOU.
Don’t you deserve that?
Proof That the Sandbox Is Real
Let’s note up front that I am sharing all of the below not to impress you (well, maybe a little! 😉), but to impress upon you what is possible. I went from a no-name writer selling articles for $100 to chambers of commerce to selling similar content to corporations for 100x the price!
Why not you?
Here, check it out:
Microsoft – $40,000 a year, renewed 5 times. Total: $200,000.

PayPal – $90,000 content series. See it live: The Adaptables with Steve Strauss

Bank of America – $100,000 a year, brand ambassador, renewed for a decade ($1 million+)
Allstate – $120,000 a year to build and run a no-face, white-label small business site, Small Business Connection, with partners like LegalZoom, and Office Depot. Renewed 5 times, ($500,000+)

UPS Store – National campaigns, $25,000.

Alibaba – Articles, videos, and speaking for their global small business initiatives.
Xerox – Featured content series for their small business tools. $25,000

New York Life: Content series, $35,000/yr, renewed 3x ($105,000)

…and many more: LegalZoom, Office Depot, Web.com, Verizon….
The point is, the money is out there! And the work is more interesting and more fun!
2025 was a tough year for many people. You could choose to do nothing and 2026 will be the same, or take my guaranteed offer and make 2026 the year it all changed for you too.
The Corporate Contract Coaching Program
This is my flagship, premium, one-on-one coaching program where I personally guide you through the exact system I use to land Microsoft, PayPal, Bank of America, Allstate, UPS, Alibaba, and most recently, Verizon.
Together, we will:
Get you brand, website, and positioning corporate-ready.
Build your corporate-ready offer
Create a custom target list of companies
Develop a proposal that gets attention and wins business
Create an offer that is so good, so enticing, so valuable, that they would be dumb to say ‘no’ to it.
Use my LinkedIn strategy to get in front of exactly the right people
Get coached through pitching, outreach, follow-up, and conversations until you land your first corporate contract
Last spring, I only had time for a couple of students. My favorite was Joanne Miller, a photographer who had always sold her programs to educational institutions, Together, we recalibrated her offerings as a premium offer for corporate retreats. She, and they, loved it! Here is what Joanne wrote me a few weeks ago:

What You Get
Four personal weeks of prep and positioning (website, offer, proposal, LinkedIn, target list)
My personal scripts, templates, and proposal frameworks, and Workbook
Weekly one-on-one coaching calls with me
Hands-on feedback - I will personally make sure your have everything needed
Video tutorials to refer to - of corporate buyers and what they look for, as well as successful small businesses who made the leap.
And maybe best of all: Once we get you corporate ready - and once we have a crackerjack proposal ready to go - and once we have come up with the ideal list of corporate clients for you to pitch - we are just getting started! I will continue to work with you as you launch your campaign, and stay with you until you succeed.
Yes, you read that right.
Here is my guarantee: If you follow and implement the program, I will continue to work with you UNTIL YOU GET THAT FIRST CORPORATE CONTRACT. That is how confident I am in this process and outcome.
And I also know this: When you get that first corporate contract, my $5,000 fee will seem like a bargain. Because it will be. It will be a pittance in the fee you can get and will start to get.
That’s why, next time (next year) this program will be $7,500 (soon to be $10,000.)
The Investment
The investment is $5,000. Enrollment is limited to 10 clients.
This is truly a $10,000 program — but for this round, you can secure it for $5,000. Even one corporate contract will more than pay for it many times over.
Final Word
I played too small for too long. I was broke.
Then I discovered the secret, The secret is corporate contracts. That changed everything.
And I know - KNOW - it can change everything for you too.
Aren’t you friggin’ tired of playing small? Of being broke?
I want to show you how to step into this bigger sandbox, play a bigger game, a more fun and lucrative game, and change everything for yourself.
DETAILS: I will be out of the country speaking at a Startup Expo in Lithuania next week (see what can happen?!) So we will start with one-on-one meetings the week of October 13. We will then sprint for a month so that we can all enjoy our families during the holidays.
But we won’t be done.
During that 6-week slow time before New Years, we will refine your pitch, your positioning, your proposal, and your offer.
Getting it just so!
We’ll do a 30-day sprint starting mid-October and refine during the holidays, so that come January 1 you’re ready to pitch. Most clients can land their first deal within 60 days of that launch.
Bottom line: Getting that big, fat, juicy, corporate client quickly is very, very doable.
And I’ll stay with you until you do!
