Positioning
Become the obvious choice.
Stop being “a designer” and become the one for a specific, valuable problem, so the profile does the selling before you say a word.

The problem
Feast or famine isn’t a pricing problem.
Most freelance creatives think they need better clients. What they actually need is a system that stops the pipeline from drying up in the first place.
You’ve got the craft. The part nobody taught you is how to make the right people choose you, on purpose, at the rate you set.
✕
Referral-dependent pipeline
Every job arrives by accident. When referrals slow, there’s no lever to pull, just waiting dressed up as patience.
✕
Rates capped by the market
You charge what you’re offered, not what the work is worth. Great output, quietly discounted.
✕
Clients ghost, revenue dips
Projects stall, deals go quiet, and the month you planned for evaporates on a timeline you never agreed to.
Not sure which one is you? Find your pipeline leak — free, 3 minutes.
The certainty premium
You’re not losing to someone better.
You’re not losing to someone better.
You’re losing to someone more certain.
At premium rates, buyers aren’t buying skill. They’re buying certainty that you’ve solved their problem before. It’s signalled through three things, and none of them is posting more content.
Proof
Make it impossible to argue with.
Turn the work you’ve already done into proof that signals “I’ve solved this exact thing,” long before the first call.
Sales mechanics
Close without flinching on price.
Run the conversation that turns warm interest into a signed invoice, and hold your number while you do it.
“A referral recently turned into a $17K project. The client kept adding work, and it has now grown to $37K and counting, plus $1,500 per month in ongoing support.”

How it works
Eight weeks. Five phases. One system.
Live calls every week, async review in between. By week eight, the profile is the pipeline.
Weeks 01–02Foundation
Positioning, profile & offer.
Nail exactly who you’re for, then design the offer they’ll actually buy. This is the base everything else stands on.
Weeks 03–05Pipeline
The engine.
Prospecting (past-client revival and cold targeting), outreach that opens real conversations, and the profile and content that make people reply.
Week 06Conversion
The close.
The sales call that turns a warm conversation into a signed invoice, without flinching on price.
Week 07Authority
The amplifier.
You’ve posted since week one; now go deeper into a content system built for the long game, so demand keeps compounding.
Week 08Scale
The daily system.
How it all comes together into a simple routine you keep running, so the work compounds long after the cohort ends.
Qualify yourself in
For working freelancers. Not for beginners.
The honest version: this works because you already have craft and paying clients to signal from. If you’re starting from zero, this isn’t the room for you yet.
◆ This is for you if
- → You’re earning $4K+ per month freelancing.
- → You’re an experienced designer — product, brand, UX, web, motion or adjacent visual creative.
- → You’re tired of referral dependence and feast-or-famine months.
- → You want to raise rates and package premium offers.
- → You’ll turn up for 8 weeks of live work.
◇ This isn’t for you if
- → You’re a beginner without paying clients yet.
- → You want to become a full-time content creator.
- → You’re looking for a quick hack or followers-first tactic.
- → You’re not willing to do the work.

Meet Huw
I rebuilt my own pipeline on LinkedIn. Then I built The Sprint so you don’t start from zero.
25 years in design. I went freelance, rebuilt my pipeline on LinkedIn from scratch, and every framework inside The Sprint is one I still use.
I’m not interested in follower games or content-creator dreams. I care about working creatives signing premium work. I run every group myself and keep it deliberately small — real answers on your actual business, not a hand raised in a crowd of hundreds.
And none of it is salesy. I sell the way I’ll teach you to sell: ask real questions, diagnose the real problem, offer the fix. No pressure, no pushy follow-ups. If “salesy” is what’s been putting you off, you’re in the right room.

What this isn’t
The Sprint isn’t a LinkedIn course.
It’s a business system for working freelance creatives: positioning, proof, outreach, sales, with LinkedIn as the channel.
| The Sprint | LinkedIn growth coaches | Brand business memberships | DIY (YouTube + figure it out) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you actually get | Premium clients signed | Followers, impressions, engagement | A 6-month curriculum + community | Whatever you cobble together |
| The method | Positioning → profile → outreach → sales | Content volume, hooks, cadence | Long-form modules + group coaching | Patchwork |
| Time to first signed client | Inside 8 weeks | “Build the audience first” | 3–6 months | Unbounded |
| Live coaching with the founder | Weekly | Group calls, often async | Twice-weekly group | None |
| Group size | Deliberately small · personal attention | One voice, thousands of members | Hundreds in the room | Just you |
| Commitment | 8 weeks, live · then it’s yours | 3–12 months | 6-month membership | Forever |
| Price | USD $3,500 | $500 → $5K+, often gated | Mid-to-high four-figure | Free + 18 months of your life |
| Best fit | Working creatives ready to charge premium | Anyone who wants more reach | Designers building a studio team | Self-learners with time, not money |
LinkedIn is the channel. The work is the business.

✦ The guarantee ✦
I don’t leave until it clicks.
It’s not a refund guarantee. I’m not interested in selling you the option to quit.
Do the work across all 8 weeks, turn up to the calls, follow the framework, and if you haven’t landed your first premium client conversation by the end, I keep working with you until you do.
That’s my risk, not yours. If the system doesn’t work, I’m still here.

Honest questions
Things people ask before joining.
USD $3,500. Pay in full, or split it into instalments. One flat price, no hidden tiers.
Yes. Pay in full: one payment, done. Or split it into two or three instalments, thirty days apart — the first before your cohort starts. The options for your cohort are confirmed on your invoice. Every option unlocks the same access.
The current cohort is in session and I run one at a time, with a capped intake. Applications are the queue: they’re reviewed in the order they arrive, and when doors open, seats are offered in order, before anything is announced publicly. Applying costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Yes, but not a refund guarantee; I’m not selling you the option to quit. Do the work across all 8 weeks, follow the framework, and if you haven’t landed a premium client conversation by the end, I keep working with you until you do.
Experienced freelance designers and UX professionals earning $4K+/month who are tired of referral dependence. Not for beginners, agency owners, or anyone looking for a LinkedIn growth course.
LinkedIn growth courses teach you how to get followers. The Sprint teaches you how to land premium clients. It’s a client-acquisition program that uses LinkedIn as the channel: positioning, offer design, outreach and sales.
Same — and most creatives feel that way. The Sprint teaches the opposite: genuine conversations with people you can actually help, a sales call that diagnoses instead of pitches, and follow-up that adds value instead of pressure. If pushy DMs and pressure calls are what you’re picturing, this is the antidote.
Even better. You’ve already solved the hardest part, which is the habit. What’s probably missing is the positioning that turns post engagement into premium enquiries. That’s exactly what we build.
No. Every session is recorded and posted inside the Skool group within 24 hours. Most members catch 4–6 of the 8 live and watch the rest back. That still works.
Huw Davies: 25 years in design, #3 LinkedIn Growth Expert in Australia, based in Melbourne. He runs every cohort personally, start to finish.
Your application asks a few short questions so I know who you are and where your business is at. When the next intake opens, you’re first to hear, and we book a 30-minute diagnostic call. If we’re a fit on both sides, you’re in. No pressure, no pitch.
You leave with the system installed and running: positioning set, profile rebuilt, outreach and sales working as a weekly routine. Every framework, template and call recording is yours to keep. The 8 weeks is where you build it — the routine is what compounds after.
A quick note from me
You’ve scrolled this far. You’ve read the case studies, the price, the guarantee. So let me drop the marketing voice for a minute.
I built The Sprint because I rebuilt my own freelance pipeline from scratch on LinkedIn, and I watched how few working creatives ever get taught this. It’s not a LinkedIn course. It’s a business system: positioning, proof, outreach, sales, the things that actually move money.
I run every cohort myself, in small groups, and I sell it the way I’ll teach you to sell: a real conversation, a diagnosis, no pressure. You apply, we talk when doors open, and if it’s a fit, we get to work. If you do the work and the system doesn’t land you a premium client conversation, I don’t leave until it clicks.
If that’s the kind of work you want to do, get on the list. If it isn’t, no hard feelings.
