Why I Started Clencura
There’s a reason this blog feels personal. Because it is.
Let me tell you a quick story—not about perfect sales scripts or CRM automations—but about where Clencura came from and why I built it to serve Kenyan entrepreneurs just like you.
It didn’t start in a boardroom.
It started with confusion, inconsistency… and a lot of frustration.
The Early Days: Freelancing, Hustling, and Hitting Walls
Before Clencura, I was just like many Kenyan solopreneurs—wearing every hat, saying yes to every project, and trying to close deals through endless DMs, cold calls, and coffee meetups.
And to be honest? I was tired.
Some months were good. Some months were silent. And I realized something…
It wasn’t that I lacked skills. It’s that I lacked a system.
I had
- No clear sales process
- No way to track leads
- No consistent follow-up
- And definitely no CRM
I was doing everything manually and missing opportunities every day. That’s when it clicked:
What if I built a system that small business owners could use—without needing to become sales experts?
Clencura Was Born Out of a Simple Question: “How Can I Make Sales Feel Less Chaotic for Entrepreneurs?”
I didn’t want to build another shiny course or generic consultancy. I wanted Clencura to be hands-on, practical, and helpful.
And I knew exactly who I wanted to help:
- Founders building service businesses in Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Mombasa
- Freelancers who are amazing at delivery but are overwhelmed by sales
- Small teams are tired of chasing leads manually or guessing what works
- Entrepreneurs stuck in the “I have leads, but nothing closes” cycle
These are the people I built Clencura for. People like you.
What We Do (In Plain Language)
We don’t give you a 45-page strategy doc and walk away.

No fluff. Just results.
Why It Matters (And Why I Still Get Excited Every Time a Client Closes a Deal)
Because I know what it feels like to:
- Lose a hot lead because you forgot to follow up
- Feel “busy” all the time, but see no growth
- Send proposals and never hear back
- Feel like everyone else knows something you don’t
I’ve been there.
That’s why I don’t just consult—I partner with you to fix your funnel, simplify your sales, and help you grow.
The Clencura Mission: Build Systems for Real People
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress.
My goal is simple:
To help Kenyan founders close more deals calmly, consistently, and confidently.
And to prove you don’t need a huge budget, fancy tools, or a big team to do it. You just need a smart system and someone who gets it.
