My guest today believes in focusing on the “person” in “salesperson”.  As he’s grown as a sales authority and leader, he’s developed a better understanding of what truly drives human behavior, motivation, and long-term success in sales. “If we can make better people,” he says, “the sales will follow.” He loves scaling sales teams. He has built teams from 0-150+ reps, revenues from 0-$75M (and counting). And he believes in processes and systems, paired with skill development, as the code to success. He mentors and consults early, mid, and late-stage SaaS companies all across the world, sharing his playbooks and processes for scaling sales teams successfully. If there is a book on sales, psychology or influence he has probably read it. He is a voracious learner and is constantly pushing himself and his teams to reach new heights of achievement.
