Nine years ago, Lara McIlwraith quit teaching in Thailand. She’s never had to go back. Look at her Instagram, it’s crap. She’s never built a following, never run an ad, never started a business. Yet here she is, earning remotely from anywhere in the world.
Before that, she spent years watching good people get stuck in careers that stopped growing. Teachers, coaches, nurses, people who were brilliant at understanding others but had no idea that skill was worth anything in the market.
She built The Empath Closing School to change that. ECS trains people in Remote Transformational Sales, the skill of guiding someone through a buying decision on behalf of an established coaching or consulting company. No cold calling. No scripts. No sleazy tactics. Just real conversations with people who already want help.
Her students work remotely from over 30 countries. Most had zero sales experience before they started.
