Founder of Level Up With Leila® & HeartSell AI™
For years, top executives would pull me aside and tell me they were blown away by the relationships I built and the way I sold. Honestly? I brushed it off. I thought they were just being kind. It wasn't until two key executives looked me in the eye and said, "You need to figure out exactly what you do — and teach that" that I finally stopped and listened.
I was also tired. Tired of the same generic sales training — the bro-marketing tactics, the pressure-filled scripts, the techniques that make you sound like someone you're not. I knew there was a better way. A way that felt natural, built real trust, and actually worked — because I had been living it for over 20 years.
That's why I created Level Up With Leila®. With $65M+ in B2B sales, 31+ national sales and marketing awards, and a career spanning Fortune 500 companies and innovative startups, I distilled everything I know into a proven, relationship-based system — and wrote it all down in my #1 International Bestselling book, Level Up Your Sales: The Relationship-Driven Path to Success, endorsed by Jack Canfield.
I hold an Executive MBA from Pepperdine University (Beta Gamma Sigma honors) and am a Maxwell Leadership and DISC Certified coach, speaker, and trainer. My approach is simple: I get to know exactly where you are, what's holding you back, and what you truly need — before I ever make a recommendation. Because real results start with a real conversation.

"One investment. Your entire sales team."
Get HeartSell AI™ — $69/month"HeartSell made it so easy to mentally prepare for a sales call. It asked for my prospect's social media profile, my program details, and potential objections — then gave me tips on how to prepare my mindset, approach her based on her personality, and even what to do after the call. I've never seen anything like it. Two potential client calls later, they both enrolled into my program."
