I help organizations create modern learning strategies for their people, partners, and customers | AE @ Docebo | 🎙Host of Stories of Selling Human

Sometimes in your life it feels like you lose everything.  

Like the year I was laid off.  Interviews pushed from COVID 19,  But then the real bomb hit,

My Dad got diagnosed Leukemia.

Just 5 months later, unfortunately my Dad passed away.  Despite losing so much, I'll never lose what my Dad taught me about life.  Things like selflessness, a relentless work ethic, and a thirst for knowledge.

His best lesson was how to create genuine connections with everyone in your life.  I've taken that approach to sales my whole life.  I’m still the 8 yr old kid who loved meeting people so much that he went door to door selling Ham and Cheese out of a catalog.

I got genuine connections out of it and the Sony Boombox I won wasn’t half bad either!

Highlights from 15 years in professional sales:

🔥 I launched a new team where I successfully recruited financial producers for a firm owned by Fran Tarkenton, Hall of Fame QB.

🔥I was named the top sales rep in an office of over 50 media sales people.  Judged not just by sales attainment but also by activity.

🔥At Monster, I sold the biggest partnership contract in the history of our team. $300k ARR, 3 year deal. 

What am I most proud of professionally?

A 15 minute meeting.  I drove 3 hours to Chicago to meet a client I’ve never met in person.  For 15 mins to say hi and drive back.  It wasn’t to close a deal.  It was just a Tuesday. 

Those “Just Tuesday” moments are why I love this gig.

I’ve had success in my career because I genuinely seek to understand people. 

An understanding strategy IS my sales strategy.

My relentlessness isn’t driven by my product or a sales number. I'm motivated by digging deeper to discover the “un-discovered” problem.   Sales is something that happens for and with your buyer not to them.  You're a guide on a discovery together with the intention to help and add value.  ALWAYS.

The best feeling in sales isn’t ringing a bell, (even though that’s always fun). 

The real joy is in being told three simple words.

“I trust you.” 

That’s what really lights me up and what I'm going for.

Finally, my approach in sales is guided by attuning yourself to what someone’s entire world is like, actively listening without any agenda, being genuine, and putting them first.

I call these things, “Selling Human”.  I practice it daily.  I think we can all do it.

I choose to study it.

Asking for help is hard.
Asking for help well is even harder.
Here's my attempt 

But first, I'd like to give you some perspective on where I've come from.

I had my first job at 12; I worked as a custodian at my local church. I haven't NOT worked since then, except for breaks between jobs and one period where I self-sabotaged myself out of a job (that's a story over drinks or a very strong cup of coffee).  

Knowing that, imagine deciding to stop working, not because of a layoff or termination, but because you need a break and want to hit the reset button.  That's where I'm coming from...

Ok, here is the boring ask for leads: I'd love to stay in the HR Tech industry, but I am open to new fields in the following roles: Sales Leadership, Sales Coaching, Sales Enablement, and Strategic Account Management and Partnerships.

And the boring ask for recommendations: if you'd like to write a LinkedIn recommendation sharing our working partnership and supporting my professional skills and strengths, let me know, and I'll send you a formal request.

---

If you're still reading, while I'm absolutely having conversations about new roles and opportunities, I'm also trying to reconnect with people and experiences that have shaped my path and that will pave my path.

If we've worked together, whether on a deal, a project, a demanding client, or even a quick collaboration, I'd love to hear your perspective:

• What's a story or moment that stands out from when we worked together or collaborated? 
• What do you think brings out my best?
• When you think about the kind of impact I had, what comes to mind?

I'm learning that during times like this, the most valuable thing a network offers isn't just leads or recommendations; it's perspective and reflection.

And sometimes the way others see you helps you remember who you are at your best. 

So if you're open to it, drop me a note here, DM me, text me, or even share a story in the comments.

I'd genuinely love to hear it!

Thanks in advance for helping me see things through your lens... it means more than you know!
