The SD Lab

I help B2B sales teams fix outbound and build top-of-funnel engines that actually deliver

Over the last 18 years I’ve been on every side of the outbound game from full cycle sales to SDR, from ops to leadership I’ve built motions from zero, led teams in the trenches and turned broken outbound into predictable pipelines

Since 2022 I’ve partnered with sales leaders across SaaS, logistics, facilities and more to reset their outbound motion and get their teams back on quota

The Outbound Accelerator (8–12 weeks)
This isn’t theory. I embed with SDR teams to coach, train and rebuild their processes. Weekly live workshops. Hands-on sessions. Custom playbooks. By the end your reps aren’t just booking more meetings they’re booking better ones. Leaders leave with a team and a system they can trust to perform

Why leaders bring me in
18 years in outbound across multiple industries
Tactical expertise from someone still on the phones
Proven results: SDR orgs seeing 20–30% lifts in meetings booked within one quarter

From cubicle cold calls to helping companies like Kustomer and ServiceChannel scale outbound systems that last

RevGenius

Member

During my tenure as Program Director, Community Manager and RevLeague Founder at RevGenius I partnered with Jared Robin and the RG team to orchestrate an extraordinary community growth journey from July 2020 to May 2022. Together we transformed a community of 2,000 members into a thriving force of 40,000+ members.

In October 2020 I took a bold stride by creating RevLeague. A micro-community within RevGenius. In an era marked by the isolation of remote work, RevLeague emerged as a dynamic haven for Sales Leaders, SDRs, and AEs seeking collaboration, support, and empowerment. We crafted a vibrant space where walls couldn't confine us. Enabling individuals to connect, share, and thrive.

Guiding RevLeague to over 2,000 members, I fostered a dynamic environment with weekly office hours, stimulating competitions, and collaborations with esteemed sponsors like Ambition, SalesScreen, and ConnectandSell. This journey was a testament to our collective drive to uplift and amplify the growth of sales reps in the evolving landscape.

With my contributions as a Program Director, Community Manager, and RevLeague Founder I embraced the opportunity to fuel connections, inspire growth, and foster an unwavering spirit of camaraderie within the RevGenius community.

Wrapping up the year with gratitude and momentum.

As the year winds down, I’m feeling a lot of appreciation.

For the clients who trusted us to not just do the work, but help rethink how work gets done.

For the partners and teammates who showed up with curiosity, urgency, and a sense of humor when had to make pivots.

And for the conversations that started as “let’s save some money” and turned into real transformation.

This year reinforced something I believe deeply:
The future isn’t about choosing between people or technology. It’s about blending the two in a way that actually works.

Next year, the bar gets higher. Expectations get sharper. And the opportunities get bigger.

Rest up. Enjoy the holidays.

 2026 is going to be fun 🚀

Shout out to Ryan Reisert, the person I connected with the most on LinkedIn this year. Ryan 🏋️☎️ Reisert  and I think a lot alike on outbound. I appreciate his grit and no nonsense feedback. He’s got a strong pulse on what’s working across markets, so it makes sense he showed up as number one.
Sardonic comment coming from Ryan in 5, 4, 3, 2…
