I help B2B sellers to quickly acquire million-dollar accounts, without wasting time on boring solutions that don’t work and make you look and sound like everyone else.

My story:  Years ago, when I wanted to break into creating direct mail for magazine publishers, I launched a “contact campaign” to just two dozen VPs of circulation at the big Manhattan-based publishing houses. Every one of them responded, agreed to meet and became clients, including Time Life, Condé Nast, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Harvard Business Review and many more. It was a rapid 100% market penetration from a campaign that cost less than 100 dollars. What I learned was, by focusing on a small number of high value prospects, you can create rapid growth without spending a lot of money.

As a result:  I wrote a bestselling book, How to Get a Meeting with Anyone, which was named one of the top 65 sales books of all time. A new, updated edition releases next year, covering AI’s disruption and enhancement of B2B selling and methods for creating deeply human connections in the new AI era.

What I do:  I help your team use new Contact Marketing and AI tools and processes to identify and prioritize your Top 100 accounts, then create tools and systems to create contact at the highest levels to foster new relationships and close new deals.

Who I help:  Any high-margin B2B company in any industry that is serious about rapid growth NOW.

How I do it:  I use my exclusive MEET™ methodology infused with the latest AI tools to quickly land meetings with scale-changing accounts, resulting in a repeatable process and rapid, sustainable growth.

Imagine this:  Your team becomes expert at breaking through to your most important accounts, using AI, powerful custom contact tools, and and a new, repeatable process. Winning deals becomes second nature and part of your company culture.

Final thought:  We are all just ten major accounts away from a very different life.
