“I signed up for a coaching call with Candice because I needed help navigating to a yes with a dream client! The biggest takeaway was how I can better showcase my expertise and skills which left me feeling more confident after our call. Our call helped provide clarity in highlighting my strengths, doing better research on the person of contact, and how to use their position in my favor to get to that ‘YES!’ I would 100% recommend a coaching call. Not only is Candice extremely knowledgeable but is the best cheerleader always rooting you on!”

"I had my coaching call with Candice and it was a huge help! Not only did she help me create an achievable, amazing plan, but she also gave me confidence that my income goals were realistic. I've come away with a step-by-step plan, notes on my pitching template, and ideas on who to pitch and how I can provide value for these brands. I'm really excited to get going and I definitely recommend booking a call with her."

“When I decided I was ready to take my blog full-time, the first thing I did was book a one-on-one call with Candice! I don’t have any experience with sales, so pitching has always been my biggest struggle. In just 1 hour Candice was able to help me get over my anxieties about pitching and create a roadmap to getting a ‘yes’! The next day, I pitched one of my DREAM clients using all of her tips, and I landed the partnership after just 1 email!!”
Kyleigh with @Barleyandsage
"I signed up for a coaching call with Candice because I needed help with pitching brands because I was hoping to learn how I can find my ideal clients and land brand deals. I feel like this coaching call is a very important investment for anyone who wants to land brand deals. My biggest misconception was that I thought that the brands I want to work with will just approach me. Candice really helped me with being more confident and understanding how to find clients that align with my brand. So to summer up, I highly recommend scheduling a call with Candice, she has so much experience and knowledge from her past in corporate sales and will help you learn and understand pitching!"

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“My session with Candice helped me pin point my strengths, clarify the direction of my business and learn how to identify my ideal clients.

-Julie with @juliemarieeats
"She is the perfect person to talk to when it comes to food photography, whether that’s how to get started, how to grow your business, aligning your goals, reaching out to brands, etc. Super sweet and super helpful and just has so much insight.”
-Jess with @Sturbridgebakery
'I always thought you needed a large social following to begin working with brands and had no idea where to even start. Within 2 weeks of our call I booked my first brand partnership! Candice is extremely knowledgeable and helped me put together a pitching strategy based on my personal goals. I now feel much more confident when pitching to brands and being able to find my ideal clients.'
- Lindsay @Butternutlane
'Really wanna thank Candice for her coaching call! I booked her because I wanted to get an audit of my pitching strategy and media kit. Candice has been absolutely amazing, walking me through areas to update. Love that she sends a recap after the call that's tailored to my needs. Her recap really helped me streamline my workflow and be more effective with responses and negotiations. With one hour of her time, and applying her strategies, I was able to land and negotiate 2 long term partnerships!'
- Rachel @thenerdiebaker
I scheduled a coaching call with Candice after feeling like I wasn’t getting anywhere with brands. I’d either get a straight no or ghosted. Candice’s business model and 4-email sequence has truly helped my pitch process and I’m seeing more brands at least answering me! Also, working a full-time job and trying to grow a business at the same time is overwhelming, but Candice’s weekly schedule workbook has helped me achieve weekly tasks and not feeling burnt out from them!

Hello! I'm Candice Ward
I have a decade of successful experience in corporate sales, hitting large quotas and managing a book of business in various industries ranging from healthcare and technology while operating a home baking business on the side.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, it forced me to take my business in the wedding industry and find new ways to adapt and grow and turned my stagnant business around in 90 days and have never had a dry month since.
All while being a mom first and working part time. Which means that I know a thing or two about maximizing time to get the biggest results. If I can do it, you can too!
GONE ARE THE DAYS OF FEARING ANOTHER DRY MONTH WONDERING WHERE TO FIND PAID WORK WITH BRANDS OR HOW TO HIT YOUR INCOME GOALS!
