About Femi

Femi Emmanuel is a seasoned sales coach who helps founders and freelancers close higher-value deals. His background spans programming, web development, and digital marketing, which informs his approach to teaching sales: he treats the close as a system, not a personality trait. Before discovering Coachli, Femi was building his coaching practice while battling unreliable payment infrastructure that kept threatening his livelihood.

The challenge

Before Coachli, Femi cycled through multiple payment platforms trying to find one that worked for a Nigerian coach with international clients. Each came with its own restriction: account closures, policy changes, restrictive withdrawal rules. The tipping point was a $5,000 deal that fell through at the payment stage.

"The tipping point for me was when I closed a $5,000 deal and that money never got to me. It was a lot of money to lose, and that is when I knew I needed a better platform, something reliable that would not let me down at critical moments."

Beyond payment failures, the operational drag was costing him deals. He was juggling separate tools for scheduling, payments, and product delivery, which made every sales conversation feel longer and more friction-filled than it needed to be.

Why Coachli

Femi needed three things from a new platform: payment reliability, integrated session booking, and the ability to deliver digital products from the same account he was running coaching sessions from. Most platforms forced him to pick two of those three.

"I moved all my transactions to Coachli, and it was seamless. Booking calls, receiving payments, and everything else became super easy. It removed the stress of dealing with multiple platforms."

How Femi uses Coachli

1:1 sales coaching sessions with built-in video, booked and paid for in one step
Coachli product pages for selling sales frameworks and templates as digital downloads
Multi-currency support so clients in Nigeria pay in Naira and international clients pay in USD, all settled to his preferred local payout

The result is a sales process where, the moment a client agrees to work with Femi, they book the session and pay through the same link. No invoice chasing, no waiting for transfers, no platform hopping.

"The best part about Coachli is that clients can pay me on the spot right after I close a deal. There is no more waiting, no more delays, and it has made my business run so much smoother."
