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.

Most sellers don’t have a sales problem. They have a habits problem.

If you want to grow your sales, start by changing your habits.

Changing your habits builds confidence.
And confidence is the number one driver of sales success.

When you keep your word to yourself you feel better about yourself.

And when you feel better about yourself, everything changes.

You tackle hard tasks with more courage.
You take bigger swings.
You stay present in front of customers.
You speak with conviction.
And conviction is what buyers respond to.

This is why we spent the last four months inside my coaching program focused entirely on habits. Last week we wrapped up the Habits module during our group call. At the end of the call, I asked members to share their biggest wins. 

Here are a few highlights across three areas that matter most: mind, body, and spirit.

𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱
Your mind is your operating system. When it’s calm and centered, everything gets easier.

David Beckley has been doing a morning routine with meditation and a workout for almost two years. It has become part of who he is. He recently leveled up by adding Joe Dispenza’s “Box Meditation,” which has elevated his clarity and execution.

Rob O'Keefe went from never meditating to fully leaning into Transcendental Meditation. He completed the formal training and now meditates twice a day. He shared how much calmer and clearer he feels, even on a simple walk with his dogs.

𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆
Your body is your energy source. If you don’t take care of it, nothing else works.
Falyn Coleman-Wright, PMP committed to a 30 day morning walk challenge. As of last week, she hit day 21. Her biggest win wasn’t the walk itself, it was the identity shift.
 “I’m proud that I’m a person who keeps my word to myself. I’m proud that I prioritize my health.”

Stephany realized her sleep quality wasn’t where she wanted it. So she built a stronger nighttime routine to show up more present and energized. Better sleep created better days, and better days created better performance.

𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁
Your spirit is your purpose. Your why. Your fuel.

Ahiman has been in the program for nearly two years. The habit that changed him most is reading his mission statement every morning. It reconnects him to what he is building over each 12 week period and the man he wants to become as a husband, father, and leader.

This clarity makes the hard days easier and gives meaning to the work.

Seeing these transformations is the most rewarding part of what I do. If you want to get inspiration from sellers doing the deep work on themselves, hear their stories below:
