Welcome Dan really appreciate you taking time out of busy schedule can you give us your background and how you came to run empire sales?

Over the years, I have been fortunate to have worked in London, Sydney and now New York with highly talented people at high growth, innovative companies including GE Capital, Thomson Reuters, LinkedIn, Sprinklr and now my own company Empire Selling.

Launching the social selling business unit at LinkedIn, bringing LinkedIn Sales Navigator to market and creating LinkedIn’s profile optimization program for sales professionals ‘Resume to Reputation’ afforded me the opportunity to meet thousands of sales leaders and sellers around the world across all industries.

It was a lot of heavy lifting but was blessed to be recognized by Onalytica Research as one of the leading ‘social selling influencers globally’. My experience as VP Sales at Sprinklr expanded my knowledge from social selling with LinkedIn to social selling and marketing with Twitter, Facebook and other social channels globally, the broader web, video and mobile technologies. Sprinklr is now valued at $1.8bn.

What gets me out of bed every morning? Coaching people to realize their true potential allowing them to provide the best lives for themselves and their loved ones. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
