Brett Butler MBA FMVA®

Sales Director

Founder & CEO @ Brass Synergy — the vetted, talent ecosystem for Web3 professionals.

I’ll never forget the lemonade stand I ran when I was eight years old.

It only brought in $100…

But that hustle inspired me to try real estate, forex & stock trading

Ultimately allowing me to build a credit services company from 0 to $5M ARR.

And college? Graduated with a double major and double minor — but I was restless.

And with $5K in graduation money, I went all in on cryptocurrency—

And in 6 months, that investment multiplied to $250K.

I felt unstoppable, scaling a startup’s community to 50,000 and its market cap to over $100M.

But then it happened—

The founder did a rug pull; crashing the project, wiping out millions & turned my world upside down.

I had my Mike Tyson moment—realizing everyone’s got a plan ‘til they get punched in the mouth.

I had no choice but to keep going. So, I pivoted back to financial consulting, managing $50M.

But my entrepreneurial passion persisted.  

I went all in to find answers, and noticed something remarkable.

I connected with countless freelancers, professionals, & companies all who had a similar story.

Applying for countless roles to find out the company or role wasn’t legitimate.

Performing work and not getting paid or taking weeks to receive payment on freelancing platforms.

Or hiring someone only to receive late or poor quality work, costing much needed time and money

I knew there had to be a better way to network, transact, and source talent in a transparent way.

I just needed a sign and during my conversations I made a striking discovery.

Freelancers and Web3 users share a striking resemblance—

70% were millennials and Gen Z with similar age ranges, locations, and interests.

And when the world went remote, it was my cue that now was the time.

HireSphere AI was born—

An AI Powered, full automated, talent verification, recruitment, and workforce management platform with a global verified talent marketplace. 

A fusion of Web3, AI, and Blockchain revolutionizing how people hire and work 
→ Understanding what makes people top performers AND how to consistently validate those skills through robust interviews with deep people science
-> Creating digitally verifiable on-chain profiles to build trust & safety
-> Augmenting the process with AI to match talent with jobs, streamline hiring and verify history
-> Ultimately building the world's best verified global talent marketplace that supports fiat & crypto payments & rewards active members 

I started with a lemonade stand and a dream…

Now we have a global council of the world's best helping us.

And the best part is I’m just getting started.

Transitioning founder-led sales teams into repeatable & scalable sales orgs | Growth & sales audits to identify gaps & bottlenecks | Sales Coach

Transitioning out of founder-led sales and into a scalable and repeatable sales team motion is tough. Have you tried to hire a VP of Sales and bet they could figure it out only to realize a costly mistake. Are you dealing with poor sales hires, missed revenue targets, no predictability and struggling to figure out how to make the transition?

Hi, Im Alex and here's how I help:

It starts with a sales assessment and diagnostic in your sales and GTM team and process. We dig into people, process, systems, enablement, strategy, hiring, and performance. We identify why the team is not selling, holes in your sales and marketing processes, and pinpoint what is stopping you from accelerating sales and building a high performing sales team.

These questions should be happening in your mind or I am the wrong person:
- I mis-hired multiple sellers and it is hurting growth
- I cannot transition out of founder led sales. The team is not generating enough business or new opportunities
- The VP of Sales I hired is not working out. Or, I fired my VP of Sales as the team was not selling
- My forecasts are inaccurate and consistently wrong. Im frustrated, the board is frustrated, what do I do?
- My revenue is peaking at $X million and I cannot break through it. Im not sure what else to do
- My sales process isn't working. The data is wrong. KPIs are needed, but something isnt't working right
- I need to generate more meetings and opportunities and what we have been doing isn't working
