Founder Sellers | More revenue with less sales work | Sales Ready Coaching | Sales Ready Organization Consulting | Daily Selling Support

I’m a sales consultant and coach that helps CEOs succeed at their own sales work.

My experience is unique in that it combines a foundation in engineering, solid business principles, plus a focus on mindset. The result is an integrated approach that comprehensively transforms your sales organization. I have helped businesses like yours 12x their sales growth, increase deal flow by 500%, and bring on 500% more clients. 

My ideal clients are CEOs of consulting firms and other expert based businesses who want to scale their business by adding $1M+ of revenue in the next 6 months. They are open to the idea that effective selling requires working on their internal mindset as well as the external strategy and tactics.

Engagements include:

* Roadmap: A clear path forward based on a deep assessment of what needs improvement.
* Coaching: One-on-one mindset and skills coaching to help you create the business and life you want.
* Consulting: Project-based consulting focused on sales strategy, planning, and implementation.
