About

Are your sales teams missing their numbers? Feeling the pressure to deliver more with less?

Whether you’re a Sales Leader or an ambitious AE, the stakes are high—and falling short isn’t an option.

I know how it feels:

As a sales leader, the weight of an entire org’s success can be overwhelming. As a rep, the grind of quota pressure, inconsistent results, and self-doubt can leave you stuck.

That’s where we come in.

We help Sales Leaders transform their teams into high-performing revenue engines and equip AEs with the systems and confidence to hit 200%+ to quota, earn more, and avoid burnout.

Why trust us?

Because I’ve lived it. Over a 13-year B2B sales career, I sold $700M in total contract value at two Fortune 500 companies, led a 110+ sales org delivering $195M TCV annually, and became #1 in 12 different roles. I hit and exceeded quota 13 years straight—even during the 2008 recession.

But it wasn’t always easy. I started as a struggling rep who was nearly fired, clawed my way to the top, and developed the systems, strategies, and mindset that saved my career. Those same systems are the foundation of what we teach today.

What we deliver for Sales Leaders:

You need more than short-term wins—you need a system that drives consistent, scalable results. Here’s how we help.

✅ Develop a repeatable, scalable sales system to increase predictability and performance.
✅ Train your teams with proven strategies that boost confidence and win rates.
✅ Build a culture of success that reduces burnout, increases retention, and delivers results.

What we deliver for AEs:

For reps ready to break through limits, we’ll help you:

✅ Hit 200-500%+ to quota consistently.
✅ Maximize earnings and achieve freedom without burn out.
✅ Build the habits and confidence of an elite performer.

The results:

Since 2019, we’ve partnered with 700+ teams and sales professionals from companies like Salesforce, Google, Microsoft, Zoom, HubSpot, and more—achieving over 1,000 documented wins.

As a result, we've been featured Forbes, CNBC, LinkedIn, and more while getting recognized 4X by Salesforce as a Top Sales Influencer.

This isn’t just about hitting your number—it’s about building lasting success, creating a legacy, and unlocking the life you deserve.

Whether you’re a Sales Leader ready to elevate your team or an AE ready to step into your full potential, we’re here to help.

I was responsible for creating the vision, hiring, training, and leading four business units of 110+ employees (11 teams consisting of market sales managers, outside sales professionals, and support staff) over 13 locations in a four state market (OR/WA/UT/ID).

      Under my leadership, I took over a disjointed area that went through major $2.2B acquisition while also undertaking an SAP system migration. Despite all the change management, the market has exceeded expectations and I successfully led my teams to deliver close to $600M+ in contracted New Business revenue. (Additional results below.) It was a middle-of-the-pack-ranked region that I took to the top within a year and kept it there during my tenure.

      In addition to the below results, I owned many regional initiatives such as building our prestigious executive leadership development program (Captain's Club), Competitive Intelligence, and mentored 10+ partners across the organization.
