"I was recommended to speak to Steven, when talking to a friend and very senior CTO at a large software company about some of the pain I was experiencing in sales as a small startup. He immediately said “you need to speak with my friend Steven!” Within a week, Steven and I were on a call. I didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t sure how to go into the 30-minutes. But within minutes, Steven managed to tap into my pain, which was finding the volume in cold outreach to get more bookings. We went over our 30-minute slot, and helped me set up a plan, sequence and process like a click of a finger. Since then, my meetings have increased by 20% already, and within a week, converted several. His parting words; Quantity, Attitude and Charisma. I now live and breathe this mantra. I have learned that if I can get in front of as many people as possible (quantity), have the Attitude to keep going through all the rejection, my Charisma will win the deal on the bookings I get. If you are in sales, you should be working with Steven."

“I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Steven Khuong on career-related events that educate, empower, and inspire students as they navigate their career development process. He has provided insights to diverse students, many of whom are unsure of their career paths or may be the first in their families to pursue higher education, on how to navigate life after college and create opportunities. In addition, Steven has been a wonderful UC Berkeley alumnus who has always been willing to share opportunities and take time to speak with students who may need advice or knowledge about tech or entrepreneurial career paths. I appreciate Steven's efforts to support the career success of UC Berkeley students.”

I can't say enough great things about Steven Khuong's consultation services. He played an instrumental role in helping Skin Kare Magic Medical Spa refine our service offerings to better align with our mission of providing inclusive care for POC and Queer communities. Steven’s insights were invaluable as he guided us in determining which services would best serve our clientele while also maximizing revenue potential. One of the biggest wins from his consultation was the creation of our membership program, which has been incredibly popular and has significantly increased our recurring revenue. Thanks to Steven, our business is thriving, and we’re able to serve our community with even greater impact. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to grow their business in a meaningful and sustainable way.

“I reached out to Steve when I was at a breaking point with my work as an online fitness coach. I felt really burned out, doing so much but having little to show for all that effort and I was losing my passion. When I reached out to Steve with a new possible idea for my new business adventure, I wasn’t sure if it’s “doable” or if it’s too “out there”. But Steve has been an entrepreneur for decades and knows that there’s always a way to make any business work, as long as there’s passion and the right strategy behind it. He gave me the courage and a couple of strategic tools to get started with. Steve isn’t only about “mindset” or only about “strategy”. He is a holistic person and sees your business holistically as well. For me, it’s important to feel good and have a sense of internal peace when it comes to my business, but it’s also important to make money with it. If this is what you are looking for as well, I highly recommend reaching out to Steve for guidance and coaching.”
