Passionate About Sales Systems

Upon graduating from engineering school in 1992, I worked for several years in sales for a variety of different types of products and services. In 1997 I started a web development company that ultimately failed following the collapse of the ‘Internet bubble'. I attribute the failure of that company to a lack of reliable sales systems - inbound leads, closed deals, etc. - and that experience instilled in me the drive to leverage the structured thought process from my education with my sales and entrepreneurial experiences for creating and implementing sales systems - for myself, my companies and the clients I serve.
Objective

I help the leaders of small and startup companies...

* Accurately discern all the problems that are limiting the expected growth for the organization
* Create effective and unbiased strategies that work hand in hand with the values and goals of the organization
* Implement sustainable business systems into the overall growth strategy
