About

Best-selling author of Beyond the Board: How to Achieve Your Vision Board Goals in a Fulfilling and Sustainable Way and Leaderboard to Leadership: How to Earn and Excel in Your First Sales Leadership Role. 20 year, top 1% sales leadership veteran that supports visionary corporate sales leadership teams and small L & D teams. We co-create sales leadership development programs that increase revenue and retention, and strengthen sales leadership pipelines. Sales and sales leadership development is broken. Organizations spend more money trying to undo bad habits their sales leaders learn instead of investing money to develop the right habits that they will continue to hone as they rise up the leadership ranks. Possessing great sales leadership on all levels is a competitive advantage. According to our Leaderboard to Leadership® survey, 80% of sales leaders said that they received no training AFTER getting their first sales leadership promotion. (Send us a message for all sales leadership survey results.) The status quo is to promote successful sales people and assume they will figure leadership out. That learning curve ends up being expensive and a decade long. Corporations work with us knowing they need to grow their own sales leadership pipeline and develop the next generation of sales leaders. It gives them an edge on the competition, retention, and the ability to grow. They want stream-lined coaching to have all leaders on the same page. Our clients see long-term impacts on their sales leadership pipelines, which strengthens their projections. We consult behind the scenes with organizations' leaders to develop leadership development that moves the needle on what matters most: organizational health and performance. We also facilitate workshops, our trademarked and proprietary sales leadership programs, provide impactful keynote sessions, and offer group coaching for emerging and experienced sales leaders. We also provide Kolbe and Leadership Circle Assessments that enable all leaders to use their greatest strengths in a way that scales, leading to thriving teams.

southwestern advantage

2000-5 - 2005-9 · 5 yrs 5 mos

Sold educational books and software door to door 80 hours a week during my summer break from college. After college I recruited and trained students to do the same, and was a top-5 team. Was in charge of every aspect of the business: lead generation, referrals, inventory, delivery of product, accounting, training and development of team, and sales.

family heritage life insurance company of america

2006-1 - 2014-12 · 9 yrs

I spent 9 years recruiting, training, and developing a team that sold supplemental insurance business to business and in the residential market. I was consistently in the top 10% for sales and team production. Family Heritage will collect roughly $50 million in premiums off the business my team and I produced and I retired when my renewals hit over $1 million. I achieved personal centurion twice and team centurion seven times. I also won the I Dare You award personally and for my team 5 times. I cannot tell you how much my experience at that company with my mentor I was lucky enough to work with meant to me.
