I help strategic SaaS sellers become millionaires without sacrificing their well-being using design & systems thinking. Get started w/ the links in my featured section ↓

From 2018 - 2022, I closed over $50M in tech sales by winning AI-enabled transformation deals with the world’s largest brands like Delta, Chipotle, and UnitedHealthcare.

In 2019, I entered the coveted 7-figure annual earners club for the first time. I averaged $1M+ 3 years in a row before retiring from the corporate world at age 42 in 2022.

These results came about, not so much by focusing on specific sales techniques and tactics, but more through designing and developing a unique way to operate consistently at an elite level.

This wasn’t always the case.

Like so many in tech sales, I fell into the trap of needing to hustle and grind to get to the top. 

And then once I got to the top, I had to do it all over again, month after month, quarter after quarter, and year after year.

That led to a vicious cycle of frustration and burnout. It got so bad that I landed in the hospital in my early 30s due to a mini-stroke from overworking. Plus, I was stalling my earnings at $200K per year.

It wasn’t until I completely redesigned my work and life with more purposeful integration that I found sustainable results and satisfaction.

The catalyst to changing the way I operated was adopting a "Human First, Seller Second" approach using design thinking and systems thinking. 

Today, I use my role as The Purposeful Performer to deliver content, community, and coaching that help strategic revenue generators turn their tech sales career into a noble craft and funding vehicle for their long-term passion projects.

All of this is driven by a customizable personal operating system that I write about. 

The results?

→ Corporate retirement 10 years ahead of my personal goal.
→ $27.3M+ in ARR generated w/ a 78% closing ratio. 
→ $3.8M+ in personal income in 48 months.
→ All while averaging 7 hrs/night of sleep.

I guide sales and marketing teams to win the biggest deals faster.

My approach is based on 5 pillars:

1) Assessment. Choose best opps and expansion scenarios within the target accounts based on a unique set of criteria backed by math modeling.

2) Research. Combine best practices from martech and OSINT to reveal the insights and build a slam-dunk business case.

3) Messaging. Craft highly-relevant value propositions, engaging content pieces, and outreach cadences with a 70% reply rate.

4) Mapping. Get the whole team around progress and challenges in the deal. Plan future steps based on relevant data.

5) Scaling. Сreate marketing and operations exoskeleton that allows top sales performers to increase their bandwidth by up to 50%.
