Clients first. Then the six-figure business.

45 minutes. You leave knowing what I’d change first.

The problem

Feast or famine isn’t a pricing problem.

Most freelance designers think they need better clients. What they need is a way to make the right people choose them, on purpose, at the rate they set.

You’ve probably tried the obvious things. Posted more. Bought a LinkedIn course. Put your rates up and watched a client walk. Told yourself the referrals would pick up. None of it fixed the real problem: the right people don’t know you exist, and the ones who do aren’t sure you’re the one.

✕

Work arrives by accident

Every job arrives by accident. When referrals slow, there’s no lever to pull, just waiting dressed up as patience.

✕

You charge what you’re offered

You charge what you’re offered, not what the work is worth. Great output, quietly discounted.

✕

Deals go quiet

Projects stall, deals go quiet, and the month you planned for evaporates on a timeline you never agreed to.

How it works

Three phases. One system.

At premium rates, clients don’t buy skill. They buy certainty: that you’ve solved their problem before, that you’ll charge what you’re worth, and that you’ll deliver. The Sprint builds that certainty in three places. How you’re positioned, how you reach people, and how you sell.

Live calls every week, one-to-one time with me in between, for four months.

Phase 01Foundations

Who you’re for, what you charge, how you show up.

We get specific about your ideal client, sharpen your pricing and your positioning, and rebuild your LinkedIn profile so it does the selling before you say a word.

Phase 02Outreach

Conversations with the right people.

Three weeks on outreach: reviving past clients, reaching the people you want to work with, and writing messages people reply to. No spam, and no scripts that sound like scripts.

Phase 03Sales

From reply to signed invoice.

Getting people onto discovery calls, running the call so it diagnoses instead of pitches, selling in the DMs when that’s where the deal is, and holding your number while you do it.

Where this goes

The Sprint is step one.

The Sprint does one job: clients from LinkedIn. Once they’re coming in, the problems change, and I keep working with you on those.

Step 1 · The Sprint · you start here

Clients from LinkedIn.

  • →Foundations. Who you’re for, what you charge, and a profile that sells.
  • →Outreach. Conversations with the people you want to work with.
  • →Sales. Discovery calls and DMs that turn replies into paid work.

Step 2 · Content

Clients come to you.

Keep the outreach going and add content that brings the right people to you, so the pipeline fills without you chasing it.

Step 3 · The business

The business behind the clients.

Funnels, landing pages, pricing, proposals and the sales system behind a six-figure design business.

We talk about what comes next once the clients are coming in. For now there’s only step one.

Qualify yourself in

For working freelancers. Not for beginners.

This works because you already have craft and paying clients to build on. If you’re starting from zero, this isn’t the room for you yet.

◆ This is for you if

  • → You’re earning $4K+ a month and have been for a while.
  • → You’ve got years of experience and still take whatever the next referral brings.
  • → Your clients say you’re good, and your rate hasn’t moved in two years.
  • → You want to choose your clients instead of waiting for them.
  • → You’ll turn up to the calls and do the 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 a 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.

23 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 designers signing premium work. I run every group myself, and you get one-to-one time with me on top of it. 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 happens on the call

  1. You tell me where the business is at: what you earn, who you work with, what’s stuck.
  2. I tell you what I’d change first. You leave with that either way.
  3. If it’s a fit on both sides, you start that week. If it isn’t, I’ll say so, and no hard feelings.

Before you book, please read the Terms and Conditions and the Refund and Cancellation Policy. The Sprint is non-refundable for change of mind, so we would rather you were certain going in.

✦ 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 your first four months, turn up to the calls, follow the framework, and if you haven’t had your first premium client conversation by then, 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 $4,000 for the four months, billed as $1,000 a month. Or USD $3,500 if you pay in full before you start. One price, no hidden tiers.

It’s a 45-minute call with me. You tell me where the business is at: what you earn, who you work with, what’s stuck. I tell you what I’d change first. If the Sprint fits, I’ll say so and you can start that week. If it doesn’t, I’ll say that too, and you still leave with the plan.

Four months. The first stretch sets your positioning, pricing and profile; the rest is running outreach and sales with me until they’re a routine. After that you can stay on month to month if you want to keep going, and we’ll talk about that when you get there.

There’s no intake date to wait for. If we’re a fit, you can start the same week, so the only question is whether now is right for your business. The call is free and commits you to nothing.

Yes, but not a refund guarantee; I’m not selling you the option to quit. Do the work across your first four months, turn up to the calls, follow the framework, and if you haven’t had your first premium client conversation by then, I keep working with you until you do.

Experienced freelance designers earning $4K+ a month who are tired of depending on referrals. Not for beginners, agency owners, or anyone looking for a LinkedIn growth course.

Same, and most designers 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.

No. Every session is recorded and posted inside the Skool group within 24 hours. Most members catch most calls live and watch the rest back. That still works.

Huw Davies: 23 years in design, from 1999 to 2022, based in Melbourne. He coaches every member personally.

By then your positioning is set, your profile is rebuilt, and outreach and sales are a weekly routine. From there I keep working with you on the rest, month to month: content that brings clients to you, then funnels, landing pages, pricing and proposals. The business behind the clients.

Your pipeline
starts here.

I sell the way I’ll teach you to sell: a real conversation, a diagnosis, no pressure. If it’s a fit, we get to work. If it isn’t, no hard feelings.
