Sales organizations ยท Charlotte, NC

I build sales organizations that run on process instead of personalities.

Eleven years, one company. One office and two reps to nine offices and 27 reps. The work is always the same three things.

What the job actually is

01

Recruit and staff the field

Sourcing, ad spend, interview process, scorecard, onboarding. Cost per hire and cost per rep still standing at ninety days become managed numbers instead of afterthoughts.

02

Build the machine

A documented sales process, a training curriculum, call scoring, and a manager bench promoted out of the rep seat. Six incentive comp plans written from scratch across five departments.

03

Run it on the numbers

Daily forecast, weekly reconciliation, one page to the owner every morning for six years without missing one. Variance comes down and the forecast starts holding.

Three ways in

Before the field
