Sales Should Not Make You Feel Dead Inside
Your sales challenge may be unique to you, but the cats have probably knocked a similar one off the desk before.
Start with one free answer for any sales challenge, use the five-hour analysis when the pricing problem has more layers than a cardboard box fort, or enter the Sales Decision Room for a deeper look while 85% of the money goes to the cats instead of the usual 15%. Pick the box that fits the mess.

How Bad Is It? Do the Cats Need to Get Up?
If a sales problem keeps scratching at the bedroom door of your brain at 3 a.m., you can pretend not to hear it—but it knows you’re awake. Send it to us when you need an honest outside opinion and a clear next move. Bring it to a private 62½-minute working session when you are tired of thinking about it and want help actually changing the price, proposal, offer or decision causing the problem. The question is not whether the cats can see what is wrong. It is whether this mess is serious enough to make them leave the bed.
What is 50 Cats LLC?
We do a few things
- Identify what you really sell (hint it isn’t your products/services)
- Get clarity on how many customers you can service before they turn on you
- Find the right mix of products/services you can offer at various price points to match customers risk tolerance levels
- Get your pricing right by understanding how better margins will solve most sales problems
Everyone wants more customers. Few can actually handle them.
That’s the part most sales advice skips — the actual math on what your business can really absorb before quality slips, weekends disappear, or that one client starts emailing at 11pm. Capacity planning for business growth sounds boring until you realize it’s the difference between healthy growth and just getting busier and broker. Before you push for more leads, raise prices, or rebuild your sales process, figure out how many customers you can actually handle. Sales help for business owners shouldn’t start with selling. It should start right here, with honest numbers.
Remember 15% of all of our sales goes towards feeding stray cats, getting them into good homes, and vet care.
