I’m Doug 👋

💥 A ‘traditional’ path ended after college. With many interests, I traveled different roads; realized the likes, dislikes, challenged myself to accomplish anything, and gained lifelong skills along the way, knowing I was never handed anything. 

💥 Building genuine relationships, learning new things, being challenged, connecting around business, real estate, investing, SaaS / tech, and  cool startups — all things that get me going professionally. 

💥 Tennis, book shops, local coffee shops, walking trails, perusing quaint towns & enjoying time with my partner and cat is sacred - watching movies and trying to emulate “Chopped” in the kitchen are a close second. 

👉🏼 Previous 5 years ⤵️ 


⭕️ 1000s of clients, multi-six figures in revenue for my own businesses 

⭕️ Partner, Head of Ops/BD in a Sports-tech startup (Think: Booxi or MindBody) in the Hamptons, reaching 7-figures (Exit) 

⭕️ Owner, Consultant & Director of Client Services for Athletic Move LLC - Built entirely through word-of-mouth and referrals, to six-figures 

⭕️ President / Director of Business Development & Operations for a SaaS startup focused on Generative AI, raised $1.8M, raised another ~$1M in LOIs before exiting. 

Currently ⤵️ 

✅ Head Professional, Racquet Sports Operations at Invited Clubs - The Hasentree Club 

What’s next ⤵️

Helping Sellers Win The Mental Game - Stress Less, Sell More

Sellers are the corporate athletes of the business world and I've trained +10,000 of them in ways to succeed in sales and hit quota - without sacrificing their health 🧠 📈

Why is this my passion?

Look around at the sales industry today and you'll see some troubling statistics from the State Of Mental Health In Sales Report:

- 82% of sellers are stressed or highly stressed.
- 70% of sellers are struggling with their mental health.
- 70% of sellers are experiencing fatigue.
- 69% of sellers have trouble sleeping.

And according to Gartner in 2024, 89% of sellers are experiencing burnout, with 54% actively looking for a new job. 😥

If you work in sales - then you're likely not surprised by these numbers as you feel the stress, pressure, fatigue, lack of sleep and burnout weighing you down as you read this sentence.

Sales is primarily a mental game - but the vast majority of us are failing. 📉

With that in mind...

If you've been feeling off your game recently.
Haven't felt yourself.
Irritable.
Have had trouble sleeping.
Feeling cynical towards work.
Drinking more than you should.
Trending towards a PIP.

Or simply want to learn how to close more revenue without feeling like everyday is a grind...

Then I'm here to help. 💪

Check out Project Mamba.

It is a private mental performance community and program to help you beat burnout, build mental resilience and hit quota with less stress.

TESTIMONIALS: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"If you want to build elite teams and operate at the highest levels individually, there’s nothing more important than understanding how your mind and body work and optimizing your mental performance. Jeff's training is purpose built for the jobs we're in and can take your team from surviving to thriving in a matter of weeks."

Kyle Norton, CRO - Owner.com

"Thanks to Jeff's guidance, I can handle stress better, communicate more effectively with my loved ones, and maintain a positive mindset. I'm grateful for the life-changing experience that has made me a better salesperson and an even better person."
