6x Sales Leader - 4x Founder - 3x Author - Sales Consultant + Advisor - Diversified Entrepreneur

I help founders and revenue leaders scale better, and have the results to prove it. Having worked with 12 unicorns and being part of 15 exits has given me a variety of experience across segments and verticals.

Since going full time on my own, I've worked with 160+ companies from all around the world on GTM strategy and process and automation; sales playbook creation and messaging, revops processes and operational rigor, executive sales recruiting, ae coaching/training, cs expansion revenue, channel partnerships and more. 

Additionally, I coach VPs/CROs/Fractional sales leaders; run a small VC firm called Milos Ventures, and run a micro conference and podcast that provide people with a safe space to learn, grow, and develop their skills called The Surf & Sales Summit.

I've written two Amazon #1 best-selling books: "Addicted to the Process" [2017], and "More Than a Number" [2021]. I also co-authored "From Rep to Manager" [2021] w/ Ryan Walker. 

In my last operating role as the SVP Sales at Qualia, we went from zero paying customers to Unicorn status in just 3 years. I built the sales motion and team from scratch, as we built the first settlement system in the title industry to take advantage of modern technology.

I have spent my entire professional career building and scaling early stage startups, and have a proven track record of lifting organizations to new heights with limited resources allocated to the task at hand.

Senior Account Executive @ LinkedIn | AntNat Coaching | I post about sales, growth mindset and personal development based on my real-life experience

Senior Account Executive at LinkedIn | 10+ years in SaaS | In my role at LinkedIn, I work with high-growth tech companies, enterprises, and global brands to help them grow revenue.--~6 years ago, I almost quit sales...During the last week of Q4 in December 2019, I lost 3 deals in a single day and put up a 0 in my first Q4 as a SaaS AE. This was only a few weeks after I had hit a personal rock bottom, too. Just at the age of 26.Instead of throwing in the towel, I doubled down on feedback, learning, self development and skill building. 3 months later, I closed my first 6 figure ACV deal and never looked back. That same year (2020), I made President's Club and closed over $2.5m in ARR.Since then, my journey has lead me to where I am now.. As a result of my experiences, I now also share content that helps SDRs and AEs build and close more pipeline without sacrificing their personal development and mindset; all based on lessons from my real life experience.TLDR:  I am a normal guy with big goals who has been through some hard stuff and adversity. My mission is to use my real-life experience to help others crush it in sales &amp; life.In my free time, you will find me with my family, hanging down by the Jersey Shore, running, lifting, working out, hanging w/ my dogs, enjoying New York Sports, golf, trying new coffee shops and restaurants, and traveling.All content, thoughts and opinions are my own.For brand sponsorship opps please email anthony@natolisnuggets.com

Strategic Account Executive

Building a personal brand on LinkedIn changed my life. And no I’m not being dramatic. 

Here’s why you should consider it.. 4.5 years later and from 2k connections to nearly 60k:

-It helped me build thousands of connections, brand deal opps, network opportunities, & referrals
-It’s helped me tell my personal story and impact thousands
-It helped me land my current role! 

Most importantly, some of my content has helped others land new roles, hit their quota, earn more money and change their habits/behaviors, etc to live a better life. How damn cool?

& so much more.

All of this helped change the trajectory of my career & life.

The most common objections people tell themselves:

1. I don’t have the time
2. People will judge me

For “I don’t have the time” - I call BS. Show me your screen time and I bet we can find 30 minutes a day to post or comment. More tactical examples to help with this below.

For “people will judge me” - welcome to the club. Anything worth doing in life will A.) Put you out of your comfort zone and B.) Draw attention from people who are just sitting on the sidelines. That’s ok. Life is too short to take criticism from those not on the same path

Tactical:
-You don’t need to post every single day to start
-Stop scrolling TikTok/IG for 30 minutes and post instead
-Find content inspiration from others in your network. Reframe into your own story
-Tell YOUR story. Everyone has a journey to share
-Start with sharing lessons from your real life experience
-Share customer wins and how you are helping them
-Post content you genuinely enjoy
-Use DMs to actually connect with people you see posting on LinkedIn
-Comment your POV on posts! Another way to get into the mix! One of my comments had 50k impressions last week.

There’s a lot more here to share but I wanted to keep it simple.

At the very least, you build yourself career insurance, meet some great people and get your work out into the world. Who knows, you might end up landing some new clients, build that business or land that next dream role you’ve been wanting.

Happy Friday!

Senior Account Executive @ LinkedIn | Sharing lessons from my real-life experience to help sales reps win in sales & life | Sales Professional, Creator & Speaker

Soft skills in sales are what separate top performers. Here are 19 soft skills that you rarely will learn in a traditional sales training that can make all the difference:

→ Knowing how to get to friction fast
→ Balancing confidence with humility
→ Project Managing & Uncovering risk
→ Knowing what questions to ask & when
→ Listening for what’s not being said directly
→ Reading power dynamics inside an account
→ Knowing when to push vs when to pull back
→ Knowing how to influence & test champions
→ Navigating internal politics to get deal support
→ Remaining patient while still driving momentum
→ Turning complex problems into simple language
→ Conflict management when stakeholders disagree
→ Building trust without over-explaining or overselling
→ Framing conversations so customers feel ownership
→ Managing your own emotions and ego when you lose
→ Emotional regulation when deals slip or urgency drops
→ Executive presence on calls without being performative
→ Having good energy & not needy so prospects open up
→ Asking uncomfortable questions without sounding combative

Here's how you learn soft skills:
-Sometimes they come naturally to people (intangibles)
-9 out of 10 times you need to put in the reps and learn from losses
-Overcoming hard things in your personal life or past helps you build EQ
-Having a fun, interesting and joyful life out of work helps you remain centered

For me personally, I learned these things from getting burned in deals (learning the hard way) and overcoming hard things in life.

I try to learn from losses the best I can and constantly seek feedback.

I no longer put 'deals' on a pedestal or let them impact my self-worth. This works for me because it drives the energy in which I operate. This is how you 'detach'.

What did I miss?

Sunday: 

-Football
-Lots of coffee 
-Little bit of work
-Diner for breakfast 
-Recovery / rest day 
-HomeGoods, TJMaxx, PetCo

Feeling like Frank The Tank in this scene of Old School. 

Ready for a short week and Thanksgiving with the family. 

New puppy comes home next week. 

Excited for week 2 of my new running journey. 

Lots of good momentum at work with clients. 

Feeling grateful for everything. 

Let’s go.
