The Expert SPARK Process™
I take all my clients through this process to grow their expert authority, and land the clients they dream of.
The 5 steps are:
- Self - as the expert, everything starts with you, we understand what your goals are, your personality and who you wish to work with.
- Premise - then we create your unique premise, your signature solution, that outlines specifically what you wish to be known for.
- Art - we bring everything together into unique frameworks that capture your branding and show this in simple visuals, that others get instantly. (Example: my diagram of the Expert SPARK Process)
- Relevance - then we look at your offer suite, to ensure that everything you offer is relevant, and connected to your premise and set up to suit your lifestyle.
- Kudos - lastly we look at the elements that grow your authority, raise your profile and attract an ongoing audience who want to work with you.

I've been working online with passionate go-getting expert entrepreneurs since 2002, and seen what works and what doesn't... so today I can share the years of experience with you, to save you time by giving you focused direction and accountability.
Working with self-motivated individuals who are passionate about serving others, creating greater impact in the world while finding the time to enjoy life too has been my passion throughout.
An authority brand starts with defining your unique business framework as this is the ignition point for monetising your expertise online through group programmes, in books and on stages.
A beautiful side effect is they boost both your brand and confidence as your audience engages with your business wherever you show up.
How I Support My Clients
I help business leaders, coaches, consultants and change-makers to amplify their services with an authority brand that is elevated with the power of frameworks so they can step up and serve their wisdom to many, whether in courses, memberships, books or on stages, it all starts with your amazing brain.
Authority Business Brands
are built around 3 key components
Signature Solution
To stand out from the crowd, share your unique angle on your industry. Crafting this into your bespoke authority framework is the springboard for success for a thriving expert business.
Scalable Offers
To grow your wealth, create scalable offers that facilitate the transformations promised and can be served to many; from group programmes to books to talks on stages.
Distinctive Content
To become a recognised voice, an authority brand, it's imperative to develop strong, consistent personal branded content, that inspires, sparks conversations and gets shared widely.
Living outside the Box
Half of my life has been spent living and working across the globe: 3 continents, 5 countries and 20 cities to be specific. This does not include travels for work and vacations. Today, the magic happens from my home studio, in the beautiful countryside south of Oxford in England, UK.
Life outside the box started as a child when my father took up entrepreneurial opportunities that led us across the oceans from the UK to America then Australia. This early on, built up an inner clarity compass as I quickly had to lean in, observe and see how society worked.
"To grow a business your clients must see an urgent need for your offering, apply it to their world easily and can see results. The number one way to do this is to create a bespoke authority framework that shows your gold at a glance." ~ Susanna Reay
Being immersed in a culture, gives you real time to observe and understand what is going on. Holiday makers just skim the top level of a society, so cannot truly understand what is happening below the surface. When you take time to explore and really go deep, draw out what you see in front of you, documenting it - then you get to see the real picture.
It's the same in business, understanding what you and your business need, to gain real clarity, starts with conversations. Clarity Conversations to be precise.
Since 2002, I've been supporting entrepreneurial start-ups, coaches and consultants to gain clarity and direction for the next stage growth in their business.
I always deep-dive into the strategic intent of the business owner and ensuring their services and brand aligned with their vision. Then we look at how you can use the high-tech tools to sell your offers globally, reaching your ideal clients wherever they are in the world.
My clients come from all over: Australia, Europe, America and the UK. Building global connections has always been at the centre of my business.
As a Highly Sensitive Introvert, I have always been very aware of how I need to manage my energy to perform as my best self. Ignoring this aspect has led to burnout and flunking exams I was predicted to ace.
The traditional workplace set-up exhausts me.
So I switched to working online, this allowed me to have complete control over my schedule and would not have a fixed income ceiling that traditional service providers face.
Not only that, I could teach others how to design their own business and take control of their content, messaging and design for themselves signature offers that they can serve at scale.

"Every expert needs Susanna in their business!"
Why work with me, you ask?
I get tech and strategy as much as design and branding, so can uniquely bring these together to grow your authority brand.
Scalable Business Mentoring is about delving into every aspect of your business; the offers you serve, the price points, the distribution vehicle, the marketing and your branding.
Many business owners get stuck as;
1) they have too many ideas,
2) they don’t know where to focus their efforts, and
3) while they might feel comfortable with one part of the equation, they don’t know how to do the other. I do.
I know how to package up your expertise to not just sell, but earn your true worth.
I am Susanna, sending sparks flying globally.
Claudia loves Susanna's personal in depth approach
Claudia De Voogt
Susanna is someone who has tons of experience, yet coaches you on the level you're at, really nice and friendly, she has so much patience as we keep asking questions over and over, she motivates you, and corrects and suggests new options. It was a game changer for me and I learned so much.
You just don't know what you don't know and I can write 100 more emails and texts, if no-one corrects me, I won't grow. And this is exactly what I love about how Susanna supports her clients.
My biggest win by far is finally creating something WITH the help of a professional, instead of getting some info and then having to wing it myself.
I love Susanna's personal in depth approach.
Introverts Can Totally Rock At Business!
If you are introverted in nature, a great starting point is getting hold of a copy of my book, The Introvert Way® Roadmap which outlines the best way to grow your knowledge-based business as an introvert without overwhelm and exhaustion.
The Introvert Way® Roadmap takes you on the journey from being erratic at best with showing up with strategically.
We all get bombarded online with multiple "instant solutions", but to create high value scalable offers, you need more than just a series of shiny offers that sit on your hard drive; you need a map, that shows you what to focus on and when.
This book will show you how to do it, as it's how I did it!

Susanna can help you clear your business idea and also support you with her deep knowledge about technical stuff. Beside that Susanna is really good listener and she'll call you back if she sees that she find something more that's good for you to do.” Mojca
"A session with Susanna is like a breath of fresh air for your business. She can cut through all the noise there is. Hand over, like hot bread, great ideas for both visibility and tips on how to manage your social media from a being-less-overwhelmed position. This is want I need as a highly sensitive person and she is gifted this woman." Marian
"Susanna is able to make you think of different ways on how to structure your work and your approaches in a simple, down to earth and super affective ways.
She challenges you to think out of the box by staying true to yourself and to not feel overwhelmed... her training felt as if we would sit face to face and have a conversation on how to get my business out there and to be more seen, rather then being lectured.
And on top of it all, all this happened with a lot of fun, too. Attending the training - listening to the videos and following up on the tasks brought joy, motivation and encouragement." Ann-Katrin
