Co-Founder

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.

Starting stuff is cool and all, but have you ever just QUIT stuff?

6 things to QUIT right now:

1.  Fearing change
2. Living in the past
3. Putting yourself down
4. Trying to please everyone
5. Overthinking/over analyzing
6. Comparing yourself to others without context

True wealth is having complete control over your time and peace. 

Being able to move slowly and nourish your soul without the pressure of a deadline is a privilege money can’t always buy. 

Living well is far more impressive than looking rich.

All coaching is, is taking a person where they can't take themselves.

This is the best email response I've ever gotten from a candidate I passed on. Kudos to this person - I absolutely plan to be a resource to them moving forward. 

"Scott, Thanks for the quick response and decision. This may sound strange but I want to thank you for declining me as an employee on your team. You have a group of exceptional talent from CS-->Sales-->Product. I knew this and despite that, did not feel like I was well enough prepared. My entire sales career I have easily skated by and been one of the top reps at each organization. It was my fault for taking that for granted. Not receiving the nod from you was a wake up call to me . I know that I would certainly be a top contributor at [Company] and I also recognize that it is 100% my fault for not being able to adequately prove that to you last week. That mistake will not be made again and seeing other excellent reps reminded me that I need to constantly fine tune or someone will pass me... I read your book and I am going to reread it. Thanks for the generosity in regards to that. My hope is that you won't mind us staying in touch as I greatly respect you as a leader. Best, [NAME] PS. Is there any additional feedback you would see valuable to throw my way about our interaction or in general?"

And you know what...y'all know this person. Happy guessing.

Your most powerful tool in any verbal communication is your voice. Yet when was the last time your sales leader worked with on:

Pitch Tone Timbre Register Vocal color Pace Tempo Rhythm Meter Beat Timing Inflection Emphasis Stress Accentuation Prosody (big umbrella term that includes intonation, rhythm, stress) Articulation Enunciation Diction Pronunciation Projection Volume Resonance Carry Vocal weight Breath control Breath support Phrasing Sustain Modulation Expressiveness Coloration Dynamics Musicality Warmth Gravitas Pausing Pacing Punctuation (spoken punctuation) Framing

I wonder...who is the best teacher and coach of this you know?

After working with over 160 companies and generating $9 million in revenue, outbound was never the strategy.

Reputation and credibility drive revenue growth.

Automate, integrate & optimize your employee referral program with ERIN 🦥

In 2020 when the pandemic hit, I found myself closing up my 12-year journey building a successful fitness business with my wife. With dozens of employees, 5 locations & 7 figures in ARR now being forced to shutdown, I felt lost.

So, I turned to LinkedIn to find a new path for my life and started building a network.

Fast forward 6 months, I "broke" into tech sales as a 35-year-old SDR at a fast-moving start-up out of San Francisco in the HR/TA Tech space.

Applying my entrepreneurial grit & grind approach, I quickly adapted to this new environment, moving into an AE role and full cycle selling.

With a healthy run of success we were acquired by a talent CRM company, Beamery in London, moving me into a more complex role selling into the global enterprise TA/HR market.

Joined the enterprise team at ERIN, automating and optimizing employee referral programs, internal mobility and rewards & recognition for organizations globally. 

Managed a team as the Enterprise Sales Manager at Hirevue, connecting talent to opportunity for some of the world's largest organizations on their enterprise North America team, covering the West Coast.

Now building Neuroscale AI. An AI-driven, ATS integrated platform that sources, messages, schedules & evaluates candidates for you. Built to streamline talent discovery, deep evaluation & personalized outreach.

Also, 0 to 1 advising multi start-ups on GTM, Sales & Revenue.

Moral of the story? 
Don't get too comfortable.
Tomorrow might throw you a curveball. 
Just show up every day, smile and give it 100%.
