From Ellen

You're good at what you do.
That's not the problem.

The problem is that the market can't tell. Not because you're hiding — because you haven't said the one thing that makes the right client stop and say "that's me."

I've worked with 800+ consultants, coaches, and experts over two decades. The pattern is always the same. Smart, accomplished, credible people — and their market argument is a fog. Good enough to get some business. Not sharp enough to claim a category.

The Bitch Slap of Truth is the 2–7 word market argument that cuts through. The one that makes your Most Lucrative Client recognize themselves and reach out. The one that ends the "why would they pick me over someone else" spiral.

This is the second BSOT Labs cohort — the first ran this summer, and the results speak for themselves. If you've been in my world — through the Dames, through a hook session, through anything — you already know what this methodology does. This is where you build yours.

The Deliverables

What you have
on graduation day.

Not a draft. Not a concept. Finished work.

01
Your Most Lucrative Client — Identified

The specific person you're actually talking to. Not a demographic. A real human being with real MOTNA — Middle of the Night Angst. Most experts haven't actually nailed this. You will.

02
Your BSOT Hook — Written

2–7 words that turn heads in your market. Punchy, perspective-shifting, and yours. The thing that makes the right client say "that's exactly my problem" before you've said anything else.

03
Your Keynote Talk — Structured

A 20-minute argument that positions you as the only option. Whether you're speaking on stages or not, building this talk forces the clarity every expert needs and can't fake.

04
Your LinkedIn — Rebuilt to Lead With It

Your profile rebuilt to deliver your BSOT the moment someone lands on it. Your outreach approach to connect with the right rooms as a speaker, trainer, or expert worth knowing.

The Format

How BSOT Labs
actually runs.

10
Weeks
90
Min / Session
10
Total Spots
  • One live group session per week on Zoom or Meet — all sessions recorded.
  • First 30–35 minutes: Ellen teaches that week's framework. What it is, why it matters, exactly how to use it.
  • Remaining 55–60 minutes: live workshopping and hot seats. Your actual work gets looked at — not just discussed.
  • Every participant gets 2–3 dedicated hot seat sessions with Ellen's direct feedback on their talk.
  • Private cohort community for peer feedback and accountability — active 30 days post-cohort.
  • Peer feedback pods with a structured rubric so you learn to evaluate talks and give quality input.
  • Full BSOT module library included — every framework, template, and checklist from the program.
  • Speaker sheet + LinkedIn amplification strategy + Right Rooms outreach plan at close.

Fit

Who this is for.
And who it isn't.

This is you

  • You know your field. Real results. Track record that matters.
  • When someone asks what you do, something gets lost in translation — and you know it.
  • You're tired of being the best-kept secret in your market.
  • You want to show up somewhere with something finished — not another draft.
  • You can commit 3–5 hours per week for 10 weeks.
  • You're doing $100K+ and building toward more.

Not for you

  • Still figuring out your business from scratch.
  • Want a passive strategy handed to you without doing the thinking.
  • Not ready to be challenged on what you believe about your work.
  • Looking for a generic framework handed to you and called done.
  • Can't commit to showing up for the full 10 weeks.

What Clients Say

They came in with fog.
They left with a category.

Working with Ellen has led to a 50% increase in revenue and a steady incoming flow of my perfect, qualified clients. I feel much more confident in how I use LinkedIn to build my business.

Rusty Gaillard

Speaker | Transformational Coach, Silicon Valley Dreambuilders

Ellen completely changed my mindset and in the process she helped us multiply our revenue 6x! She helps you get to the heart of the matters at hand and then figure out a plan for growth.

Michael Mahony

Founder, Your Virtual CTO

Ellen is a top notch LinkedIn and branding professional, always helping her clients find the most prosperous niche and then helping them connect with that niche on a very deep level. She's got that true talent for finding the messages that connect.

Straight From the Last Cohort

Ten weeks ago, they were fog.
Now they're a category.

BSOT Hook — "The Worst Place to Be is Trapped"

Karen C. — Divorce Coach & "Recovering Attorney"

For years, even while quietly building real authority — a daily video practice running past a full year, millions of cumulative views — she couldn't see her true value. In her own words early in the program: "It's like I don't see it. That's where it stops me — I don't even see it." Summer Labs changed that. Karen's BSOT message arc now names the real trap her clients face: "Everything is a choice. The only question is: are you the one making it?" She has a message, a signature talk, and a LinkedIn Profile built to reach the therapists and executive coaches who see her ideal client long before a lawyer ever gets involved.

BSOT Hook — "Awe IS Intelligence"

Nikole K. — Coach

Nikole spent 15 years as second-in-command building someone else's coaching business — until it ended overnight, by email, with one day's notice. Walking into Summer Labs, she put it plainly: "My least favorite question was, 'Nicole, what do you do?' Because I don't even have that answer right now." Now she does. Nikole has named her own identity — "the wild one, the disruptor... the one who breathes the sacred back into this realm with every breath" — and put up her first-ever LinkedIn Profile and message on behalf of her OWN expertise, not someone else's. She now has a message and a signature talk that lets her speak from stages and stand out as a podcast guest.

BSOT Hook — "Who Cares About The Top 1%? What. About. You?"

Rebecca D. — Wealth Advisor

Rebecca realized via Summer Labs that she needs to serve a very specific client — young, progressive families who are earning their first "real" money but don't yet have their own financial advisor, especially not someone from THIS generation who can advise them on all the ways to build wealth today. Rebecca now has a specific BSOT hook, a talk, and a LinkedIn Profile that shares her unique argument for a particular niche client. In her own words: "I feel like I just answered all the questions and did the homework and Ellen was able to help me pull a bitch slap out of my random talking."

The Coach

Ellen Melko Moore

Ellen Melko Moore

Founder, The Bitch Slap of Truth · Forbes Top LinkedIn Thought Leader

Ellen has spent two decades helping 800+ consultants, coaches, and experts find the one irreducible market argument only they can make — and build their speaking, LinkedIn, and outreach presence around it.

She is not a marketing coach. She is not a LinkedIn trainer. She's the person who sits across from you, listens to you talk about your work, and says the thing you already know but haven't been willing to say out loud. Then she helps you build a business around it.

BSOT Labs launched this summer with its first cohort. This fall is the second — and the last at 2026 pricing.

Questions

The ones you're
already thinking.

I've attended one of Ellen's trainings. Is this going to be review?+
Some frameworks will be familiar if you've attended Ellen's trainings or had a hook session. The difference is that you will be building your own, getting direct feedback on it, and leaving with finished work — not just familiarity with the concepts. There's a significant gap between understanding the BSOT and having yours done. This closes that gap.
How is this different from working with Ellen 1 to 1?+
The 1 to 1 program is $15–$35k with significantly more private access. BSOT Labs covers the same core deliverables in a group format with hot seats. What you gain is peer feedback, shared learning, and the accountability of a cohort doing the work alongside you — at less than a third of the price.
What if I can't make a session live?+
All sessions are recorded. That said — the hot seat work is where the real value happens, and you can't get a hot seat on a recording. Attend live whenever possible, especially the weeks you're scheduled for feedback.
I don't plan to speak on stages. Is the keynote talk still relevant?+
Yes. Building your keynote talk is the discipline that forces you to develop your complete market argument. The 4-part BSOT structure shapes your LinkedIn content, your outreach messaging, and every sales conversation you have. You don't have to want to speak. You have to want to be clear.
When does it start and how many spots?+
BSOT Labs starts September 22nd. There are 10 spots total in this cohort — 5 remain. When they're gone, they're gone. This is the last cohort at 2026 pricing; the next one will be priced higher for 2027.

How much longer are you going to be the best-kept secret in your market?

Ten weeks. Finished work. No more fog.
