I have a passion for understanding the "why" behind it all. I take a human approach to how I engage and ultimately seek out new business opportunities.
Having been a part of three very different sales organizations I've learned best practices from incredible leaders, and gained a deep understanding around the marketing/sales strategies that help power highly successful teams to deliver results.
In no particular order, I'm a Business/Sales/Tech/Comic/Animation/Nature/Photography nerd.
I help corporations and online business owners to be distinctive by using educational video content to create, market and sell their online courses.
Hello 👋🏻 I’m XayLi, and corporation & online business owners alike come to me when they want to be distinctive in their industry by using educational video content to create, market, and sell their online courses.
Does that sound like you? 🤔
I do this through my consultation programs, where I help clients by providing:
E-Learning Consultation
Curriculum Development
Project Management
Online Course Consultations
Video Marketing Strategy & Development
Here’s what some of my clients are saying:
“XayLi Barclay is a creative and engaging speaker who shared her insights at Leap Into Live 2021. XayLi was hugely popular with our 1,800+ attendees as she discussed how to create a course your audience loves! I would highly recommend hiring her for any speaking event you may have coming up in the future.” - Stephanie Liu.
“Over the past three years, Thinkific has worked closely with XayLi to grow the Think in Color event into what it is today (in 2021, TIC had 25,000+ attendees). XayLi has been a foundational contributor to this initiative, and together we have left an impact in thousands of underrepresented women's lives as they have built their online businesses. XayLi works from the heart and has ensured that this community is listened to and is truly empowered with the content we create, the messaging we endorse, and the programs we provide. This program would not be what it is today without XayLi!” - Pegah Stewart.
I have personally used the same framework I teach my clients to develop their curriculums & video marketing strategy to sell their online courses, products, and services seamlessly.
