This role required a deep understanding of both AI technology and enterprise needs, as I was responsible for guiding companies through the challenges of skills measurement and workforce development. I navigated complex sales cycles and helped organizations understand how advanced tools could be used to enhance workforce capabilities and prepare for future demands.

During my tenure, my consultative sales approach using the MEDDICC sales methodology allowed me to understand client challenges deeply and offer tailored solutions that met their unique needs. I worked closely with HR and L&D executives to demonstrate how our platform could be integrated into their existing systems to enhance employee performance and organizational efficiency.

Always Learning | Generative AI's Sales Champion | Midwest Dad | Powered by Prompts

In sales, standing still is never an option; you either adapt or get left behind. For me, growth in sales has always meant embracing change and using it to your advantage. As new technologies emerge, they offer fresh opportunities to refine and elevate our approach to selling. So, when I first encountered ChatGPT, it wasn’t just about new technology - it was about rethinking how sales can be done. My goal has always been to turn challenges into opportunities, using tools that are practical and easy to apply.

That’s why I founded Lighthouse Logic earlier this year: to provide B2B sales teams with tangible, actionable skills in using ChatGPT. My goal is to bridge the gap between technology and day-to-day sales activities, ensuring that AI becomes a tool that sales professionals can rely on for everything from prospecting to closing deals. At Lighthouse Logic, we don’t just teach AI concepts - we show how to apply them in practical, results-oriented ways that make an immediate impact on sales performance.

What I bring to the table is a blend of deep sales experience and a forward-thinking approach to technology. I understand the pressure sales teams face and the need for tools that provide real support, not just more complexity. At Lighthouse Logic, our Generative AI training programs are hands-on and tailored to the specific needs of B2B sales teams. We provide the knowledge and skills to not only understand ChatGPT but to use it effectively from day one.

My mission is simple: to make AI a practical tool that enhances the human element in sales. I believe that with the right training, every sales professional can use AI to not only meet but exceed their goals. At the end of the day, it’s not just about learning new technology—it’s about applying it in ways that make your sales efforts more successful, more efficient, and ultimately more rewarding.

Each challenge in sales presents a chance to grow. I’m here to ensure your team seizes those opportunities with the help of AI. Interested in practical ChatGPT training that drives results?
