Sales consulting that turns more of your leads into clients and brings in new ones.

We find where you lose sales, from the ad to the moment someone says yes, and put the fix in place with you: a script and coaching for whoever answers your leads, offers for people who say it's too expensive, and the ads themselves on Google and Instagram. Then a video call every week to review leads, bookings and sales.

Free assessment, on a video call of up to an hour with Jorge, 16pct's founder. You'll leave knowing where you're losing sales, even if we never work together.

What we do

What 16pct puts in place in your business

We build each piece with your team and stay on it until it runs, starting with sales: who answers, who closes and how each person is trained.

  • Where we start

    A sales team, organized and trained

    Who answers new leads, who closes and who delivers the service, with targets for each role, and a sales script your team is coached on, built from their real conversations. If someone is missing, the profile of who to hire.

  • A map of your revenue

    Where each sale comes from, what your operation costs and what to fix first.

  • Offers for people who say it's too expensive

    An entry option for people who didn't buy the main service, like a single session, a smaller package or a course, without lowering the price of what you already sell.

  • Getting new clients

    Google, Facebook and Instagram ads run by 16pct, plus a goal for each channel (ads, referrals, local events), so you don't depend on just one.

  • The weekly meeting

    On video: the week's numbers, what broke and who fixes it by next week.

  • CRM and AI, when they're worth it

    Every stage of your sale in one place, and AI answering new leads at any hour. If it isn't worth the money yet, we'll tell you.

  • Custom software

    Software built around how your business works, and it stays yours.

How 16pct helps your business sell more

The path is the same for every business we work with. What changes is where each one loses sales.

  1. Patient · 7:42 pmHi! Saw your ad for teeth whitening. How much is it?
  2. replied in 21 s
    AI agent · 7:42 pmHi, thanks for reaching out! Whitening is $390, and you can split it into 3 payments. Is this your first time?
  3. Patient · 7:43 pmYes. Seems a bit pricey
  4. AI agent · 7:43 pmTotally get it. At a free first visit, the dentist checks whether you need the full treatment or a lighter option. Want me to book one?
  5. Patient · 7:44 pmSure. Anything Saturday morning?
  6. AI agent · 7:45 pmWe have a 10 am opening. I've noted it for the team, and they'll confirm with you first thing tomorrow.

Handed to the team at 7:45 pm, with the time slot already chosen, 3 minutes after the first message.

Who's behind it

Jorge Borgonhi

Founder of 16pct

I started out running ads. Then I became head of operations at an education group in Brazil: when I joined, it was about $700 a month in ads, me, the owner and three salespeople. When I left in 2024, we were spending over $200K a year on ads, doing about $1.8M a year in revenue, with a team of more than 20.

That's where I learned that the sales team decides whether an ad makes money, so 16pct doesn't stop at the ad. In practice, I work like a fractional COO for your business: someone to figure out with you where the money is, and make sure it actually happens.

Is your business ready?
