Factorial HR

Joined an early stage, Series-A company, moving from Colorado to Barcelona.  In just 9 short months, I helped the company grow from sub-$3m to over $9m, adding over 200% revenue growth and increasing the sales team from 75 to 175 teammembers.  

I took on an early-career sales team and implemented process and structure to create a more repeatable and predictable revenue motion.  We built MEDDICC-based sales stage model and worked with Ops to design a successful pipeline management and CRM review process with a large pipeline of high-velocity leads.  I helped to create an efficient sales pods model that operated in-language across 6 different language groups, with independent management structures but centralized operations.

I worked to expand the GTM footprint into US and LATAM, while starting the work to establish a footprint in Brazil.  We opened a physical office in Salt Lake City and Mexico City that grew to 7 and 10 respectively during my time at Factorial.  I created the infrastructure and operating plan to successfully run teams across multiple continents and time zones.

I reported directly to the Co-founder and played a role in surfacing customer feedback and product roadmap definition.  I also helped with due diligence to complete the Series-B round with Tiger Global.

VP of Sales

Formstack

Initially joined Formstack to scale up an inside sales team to attack the mid-market/enterprise buyer.  Consistently growing revenue by 50% YoY through both organic and acquisition growth, and doubled the customer base over 3 years. Grew a sales team of 15 people to over 80 in 2.5 years, adding 30 sellers focused on mid-market and enterprise companies with a $20k ACV.  Led a horizontal GTM with 300% growth in the Healthcare vertical, 200%+ in Higher Education, Government and High Tech.

We successfully launched a commercial expansion team focused on growing net dollar retention.  We built a Partner sales team from scratch that led to major wins inside Salesforce.com, Freshworks, Zoho and others, driving 30% of new revenue, as well as successful engagement with major consulting partners, and bringing in the largest deals in company history.  We supercharged the Professional Services organization and grew quarterly revenue by 10x.

Early on we created a Sales Training organization focused primarily on Sandler sales principles as well as Straight-line methodology.  We built a best-in-class use of Gong call recording and coaching model to improve sales team success.  Additionally, I developed two 10-week leadership training program for sales and CX managers, as well as individual contributors.  Over 40 team members have completed the course.

In 2018, I was asked to lead our CX organization of 20 support people, at that time focused on high-velocity, SMB customers.  We launched a CSM model to manage the growing mid-market and enterprise base, expanding beyond managing customer churn, and focusing on expansion revenue.  We also segmented our support organization into customer segments to better prioritize tech-touch vs rep engagement and saw 35%+ YoY improvement in net retention.

Signal Corp Officer

When I was 17 years old I earned the amazing opportunity to meet with Bill Clinton 1-on-1.  I assumed that he became the President of the US through intelligence and persuasiveness.  I walked out of the room thinking that I could conquer the world.  That is inspirational leadership. That is how I fashion my leadership style.  My success is the product of building and leading effective teams.

I like to take on hard problems, find creative solutions, and implement them.  I am the person that raises their hand to take a hard assignment when no one else will.  I provide leverage.    

You can find me at beaumbrooks@gmail.com

I ran a half marathon on Saturday. 

My friend asked me to run it on Wednesday. Because I’m a runner, and regularly training, I’m ready with 3 days notice to jump in. And it was awesome. 

Reminded me that the same principle applies to sales and success customer interactions. My goal is not to prepare for one interaction, one meeting, one customer (or one race) but to be ready for all of them. At a moments notice. 

Because I’m constantly training and improving my process and preparation, I’m always ready for nearly any situation. With short notice I can adjust, prep and crush it. 

That’s my professional goal.  Always be training for the show. How about you?!

In our generally remote world, it isn’t remotely possible to get remotely close to the results achievable… in person. 

Teamwork.com Grand Council 2024 in Cork, Ireland hasn’t disappointed. Teams engaging in live call reviews, learning and brainstorming strategy.
