The Honest Salesperson

I have a decade of experience in new client acquisition sales, helping generate over 10 million in revenue within the recruitment industry.

Over the 10 year period, I have broken into over 100 new accounts, and trained over 40 other individuals to do the same. I am intimately familiar with the challenges and hurdles faced when building a book of business, acquiring new clients, and implementing a sales system that can be scaled as your company scales.

I bring that experience to a small number of early stage, growth focused recruitment companies.

I partner with solo-operators and owners as an advisor and mentor assisting them in their growth phase.

I help them lay the foundation needed to grow, avoid expensive mistakes, help assemble world-class sales teams, and implement a sales system that can be replicated.

If you are a small business founder/owner within the recruitment space, and you're looking for a partner to help navigate your journey, I'd love to hear from you.

My area of expertise is in direct hire and contract agencies, with average placement fees $20,000 or more.
