Chief Executive Officer

Stage 2 Capital

Nowait Inc

This was one of the most amazing opportunities I have had to change the way that restaurants think about engaging with guests and managing throughout at the same time. 

How do you provide a world class experience for guests and ensure that your internal team can manage the flow of guests on your busiest days/nights?  This is what we helped 1000s of restaurants accomplish everyday. 

I built out, managed and led the process for how NoWait engaged with and deployed its software and service to the largest restaurant groups in the United States and Canada including Brinker (Chili’s), Applebee’s, BWW, Cheddars, On the Border and 1000s of other leading restaurants to transform the way they treat and manage their guest experience at the front of the house.

Vice President of Sales (acquired by Yelp)

Chartbeat

Partnered with the leading publishers (ESPN, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and 100s of others) and the largest websites in the world to better understand their audience in real-time. 

Developed and managed the growth, development and execution of product outreach, sales and account-management strategies to ensure Chartbeat met the need of our partners at the strategic and tactical levels. 

Over the course of the year and early 2013, we transformed the organization from a one-person function to four departments comprised of sales development, account executives, Chartcorps (service) and customer success to specialize in solving the needs of the largest websites in the world. 

In 2012, we grew annual bookings by more than 300% year-over-year and nearly doubled monthly recurring revenue during the first nine months

Head of Sales & Customer Success

Glassdoor

10 years after Glassdoor launched we sold to Recruit (owner of Indeed) for 1.2 billion dollars.  

My piece of this amazing journey was two fold:

1. Change the way that employers think about how they interact with their current employees, interviewees and attract the top new hires. 

2. Build a sales, success, service and operations organization that could consult and service the largest companies in the world on how to find and retain their most valuable asset - their people. 

From 2010-2012, I spearheaded the day-to-day operations of all sales, operations and account management, expanding the department from 0 to 40 employees in less than 18 months. 

We grew to $1 million MRR in less than 18 months and developed sales and operations training program as well as client-services workflow.

Had the amazing opportunity to work hands with Rich Barton, Bill Gurley and some of the other titans of Silicon Valley directly while reporting to the CEO and board of directors

As of November 20th, I’ve ran over 320 sales calls this year

I had our Strategic Deal Navigator Assistant analyze where I messed up and lost deals

Here are 5 lines, or versions of them, that kill momentum immediately

I have said every single one and lost deals because of it

When I started as an AE, I thought demos were about impressing people

So I'd over explain, show too much, talk way too fast (still do that at times)

Now I treat every conversation like a consultation, not a performance

I still make plenty of mistakes for sure so hopefully these are good reminders

Here are 5 lines you should cut immediately and what to say instead:

1️⃣ "Let me tell you about where we can help"…before understanding what they need.

Say this instead "You mentioned reducing churn, so let's start there."

2️⃣ "This is something I see real value in, and it’s going to be really helpful"

Why it's bad…You don't know that. Focus on value, not your opinion

Say this instead "Our customers in fintech use this to cut onboarding time by 40%. Could that help your team too?"

3️⃣ "You can automate everything with just a few clicks"

Why it's bad…Vague. Sounds like a pitch, not a solution.

Say this instead "This automation saved a similar team 6+ hours per week. Let me show you how."

4️⃣ "Do you have any questions?"

Why it's bad… It puts all the pressure on them. Often leads to silence and usually a “no…pretty self explanatory”

Say this instead "How does this compare to how you're handling it today?"

5️⃣ "Let me know what you think"

Why it's bad… Passive. No next step.

Say this instead "If this solves what we discussed, would it make sense to explore pricing next week with your team?"

With all of this 👆 you’ll get
More engaged prospects, clearer business value, and higher conversion to next steps

Alright…your turn. What’s a line you’ve used (or heard) that kills momentum instantly? Drop it in the comments

I partner with forward thinking B2B CEOs/CROs/CMOs to transform their business with AI-driven revenue strategies | USA Today Bestselling Author of Innovative Seller

It’s that time of year…let’s completely deflate 80% of the sales organization in 2026 time of year!

Most quota methodologies are probably destroying team morale

Many sales leaders set quotas using last year's results plus a growth factor.

"We did $50M last year, so we need $68M this year. Divide by number of reps." 

This approach assumes all territories and reps are identical.

They're not.

Some territories have higher market potential. Some have been farmed longer. 

Some have a better concentration of our ICP

Some reps inherit hot accounts. Others get burned territories.

Setting uniform quotas across different situations creates instant unfairness.

High-potential territories get easy quotas. Challenging territories get impossible ones.

The reps who need the most support get the most pressure.

Better quota methodology considers: 
Market potential ➡️ What's the addressable market size for each territory? 
Account maturity ➡️ How long have these accounts been worked? 
Historical performance ➡️ What's the realistic baseline for this specific territory?
Pipeline health ➡️ What's already in motion for next year? 
Investment level ➡️ How much marketing/SDR support does each territory get?

The goal isn't equal quotas. It's the right quota based on the territory.

Fair means each rep has a realistic path to success based on their specific situation.

When quotas feel achievable, reps stretch for them. When quotas feel impossible, reps give up before they start.

We just started implementing BoogieBoard for this exact reason for clients. 

Excited to see the potential results!

I finally wrote it all down. What ACTUALLY does a day in the life of a top seller look like today with AI?

What are they still doing manual because it’s better?

What have the automated completely?

Here is the playbook..enjoy 👇

If you could compress what used to take 3 hours of prep, follow-up, and CRM cleanup into 15 minutes with AI…would you still do it the old way?

Your morning used to look like this:
→ Dig through tabs to prep for meetings
→ Re-type the same follow-up emails
→ Copy notes into Salesforce just to “check the box” for your leader…who probably never looks at it and asks you about it on slack instead

Now it looks like this:
→ AI Assistant auto-generates call briefs and talking points
→ Your meeting notes are summarized instantly
→ Follow-ups and CRM updates are done before your next call

That’s not a fantasy it’s already happening.

AI Assistants are cutting 11–12 hours of admin work a week for sellers who use them right.

And those reps? They’re not just “working faster.”

They’re finally spending time where it matters talking to buyers.

Would you still pay sellers to “pay their dues,” or would you pay them to sell? 💥

👉 Read the full article to see what an AI-powered seller’s day actually looks like.

Open article: A Day in the Life of an AI-Powered SaaS Seller in 2026 by skaled.com

A Day in the Life of an AI-Powered SaaS Seller in 2026

GenAI isn’t a “tool.”

It’s the internet moment happening inside your company, and most teams are treating it like a browser plugin

Leaders keep saying, “We turned it on… why didn’t anything change?”

Because nothing changes if people don’t change behavior. GenAI only works when workflows, expectations, and habits get rewritten, not when teams try to bolt it onto 2018 processes

Ryan Cahill nailed it on the pod: most companies are “more efficiently wrong.” 

They deploy AI, skip the behavior change, and wonder why the ROI never shows up.

Here’s the real shift:
→ GenAI isn’t making old tasks faster
→ It’s forcing you to rethink why those tasks existed in the first place

The internet didn’t upgrade fax machines. It eliminated them. Same idea here.

New episode with Ryan Cahill drops TOMORROW with two tactical behavior changes leaders can make this week to get real impact from GenAI.

What is the one behavior your team needs to change for GenAI to actually work?

I’ve talked to at least 10 PE backed companies this month and the universal truth is the AI hire they are thinking about will actually slow them down and cost them an entire year of innovation

Promoting someone into an AI role they can’t grow into fast enough creates negative ROI

Hiring someone from the outside who built a few customgpts is like hiring a top performing rep who built their own reports in SFDC as your RevOps hire

AI is evolving weekly

But your “AI person” is stuck fighting fires from systems built in 2017

So companies say:
“AI is moving too fast.”

No…your staffing plan is just for solving problems in 2016 not 2026

The real cost of inaction isn’t failing to adopt AI

It’s hiring someone who can’t keep up while they’re building

What that creates:
👉Workflows that launch already outdated
👉Models that never improve because no one has time to retrain them
👉A GTM engine that’s miles behind competitors who built with specialists, not stretched operators

AI GTM Engineers aren’t a luxury.

They’re the difference between scaling AI and creating an expensive science project.

If your AI lead is doing admin work 70% of the week, you’re not just behind, you are building outdated assistants before they even launch

If your team had an AI GTM Engineer today, which part of your GTM motion would you automate first?

Open article: The Rise of the AI GTM Engineer in 2026 by skaled.com

Everyone keeps calling this an AI bubble

So why are the smartest investors buying even more AI instead of pulling back?

SoftBank just sold billions in Nvidia stock and moved deeper into AI

Not into chips. Into the intelligence layer.

If this was a real bubble, insiders would be exiting quietly.

Instead they’re rotating capital into the parts of AI they believe will dominate long term

The mistake people make is treating AI like one giant category

It isn’t.

Infrastructure is crowded.

Apps are noisy.

Platforms and data are where the power consolidates

So the question isn’t “Is AI a bubble?”

The question is “Which part is overpriced and which part is still early?”

Most people betting on an AI crash are assuming everything will collapse at once

History rarely works that way

Are we in a hype cycle or the start of the biggest tech shift since the internet?

Where do you stand: bubble or breakout?

I believe in focusing on the "person" in "salesperson" 

As I've grown as a leader I have a better understanding of what truly drives behavior, motivation, and long term success. If we can make better people, the sales will follow. 

I love scaling sales teams. I have built multiple teams from 0-150+ reps, revenues from 0-100M+ ARR (multiple times). 2 Unicorns (ServiceTitan and Tebra) I believe in processes and systems, paired with skill development, as the code to success. 

I also love to share what I have learned, and what I am learning with others. I consult all sorts of different companies and people as they look to improve their results. I mentor and consult early, mid, and late-stage SaaS companies all across the world. Sharing my playbooks and processes for scaling sales teams successfully.

I have spoken at the top conferences across the country, mentor/coach start up's across the country, and love sharing as I go. 

If there is a book on sales, psychology or influence I have probably read it. I am a voracious learner and am constantly pushing myself and my team to reach new heights of achievement. Because of my own internal desire to learn and grow, that also gets translated out to my team with non-stop growth, coaching and training.

"We're about to hire our first sales rep. Any pitfalls to avoid?"

Got this text last night from a founder.

Told him I could write a book on all the mistakes I've made/seen other make, but I'd try to give him the fast stuff. 

1. 𝗗𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗛 𝗢𝗡 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦

Set clearly defined and attainable targets.

Actually run the numbers. Can they realistically hit what you're expecting?

Most founders set impossible goals then wonder why reps fail.

2. 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗣 𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚

Whatever timeline you're thinking, double it.

Then add a month.

First reps take longer than you think. Always.

Even if they have 'industry' experience. They have zero experience in your org. 

3. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧

Take YOUR sales performance and cut it by 30%.

That's what your first rep will do. Initially.

You have founder magic. They don't. You know every objection by heart. They're learning.

Stop expecting them to sell like you do.

4. 𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧

Record all your demos. But here's what most miss:

Do a second recording breaking down WHY you did what you did.

"I asked this question because..."
"I pivoted here when they said..."
"I ignored that objection because..."

The context is more valuable than the demo itself.

5. 𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗚𝗟𝗟

What Good Looks Like. Document it all:
- How leads should be worked
- What discovery should accomplish
- How demos should flow
- Follow-up cadence and messaging

If it's in your head, it doesn't exist.

6. 𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗪𝗢, 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗢𝗡𝗘

There's no perfect sales hiring process.

Two reps create competition. Comparison. 

One rep? You'll never know if it's them or your process that's broken.

7. 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗥 > 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟

Don't get blinded by experience.

Hire for character traits first, skill second.

Coachability. Curiosity. Grit. Work ethic.

You can teach product. You can't teach character.

8. 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗜𝗦𝗡'𝗧 𝗢𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟

If you can't manage them, don't hire them.

Real management means:
- Weekly 1x1s
- Call reviews
- Coaching sessions
- Deal prep
- Skill development

Not just "checking in" on Slack.

𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗣 𝗛𝗔𝗖𝗞

Customer interviews. By far the quickest way to get a rep up to speed.

Have them interview 20-30 customers with these 6 golden questions:

1. Why did you buy?
2. What problem were you hoping to solve?
3. What were you afraid of before buying?
4. What's your favorite part of the product?
5. What's changed the most since having it?
6. How would you describe what we do to another [persona]?

Record every single one.

This gives them real voice of customer. Real objections. Real value props.

In their customers' actual words.

--------

Knock out these steps (even if you're far beyond the first sales hire) 

Your first sales hire sets the tone for everything that follows.

Get it right, and you build a machine.

Get it wrong, and you'll be selling solo for another year.

We all want bigger results without changing our daily habits.

That's why we stay stuck. 

I just re-read Atomic Habits and I love this book more and more each time 

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗖 𝗛𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗦

1. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 1% 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧

10 more calls per day = 250 extra conversations per year.
2 more question in discovery = hundreds of deeper pain points uncovered.
One extra follow-up video = dozens of saved deals.

Small improvements compound. Small declines do too.

Missing 2 calls today doesn't matter. Missing 2 calls every day? You're toast.

2. 𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗦 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦

Average approach: "I want to hit quota"
Elite approach: "I am someone who never misses their call block"

Stop focusing on outcomes. Start focusing on who you need to BEcome.

How would that person think, act, work, & behave. 

3. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗟𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗦

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗢𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀:
- Put your call list on your desktop before you leave
- Schedule your prospecting blocks in your calendar
- Set CRM reminders for every follow-up

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲:
- Pair cold calls with your favorite coffee (right Sara Uy?!)
- Create a team leaderboard for activities
- Celebrate the calls, not just the closes

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆:
- Pre-write your email templates
- Keep objection responses on sticky notes
- Have your demo environment always ready

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴:
- Track your activities visually
- Ring a bell after booking a meeting
- Share wins in Slack immediately

4. 𝗛𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦

"After I sit down at my desk, I will make 5 calls before opening email"
"After every discovery call, I will update the CRM"
"After getting rejected, I will do 10 pushups and make another call"

Stack the habit you need onto something you already do.

5. 𝗘𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 > 𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

Your work setup determines your productivity more than your motivation.

Phone visible = more calls made
LinkedIn open = more prospecting done (prospecting not posting/doom scrolling!)
Slack minimized = more deep work completed

Design your environment for success, not rely on willpower.

6. 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

What elite teams track daily:
- Calls made (not just meetings booked)
- Discovery/Demo Call Scores (not just closed deals)
- Follow-up Videos sent (not just deals closed)

The act of tracking changes behavior before results change.

8. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧

Month 1: No pipeline movement
Month 2: Few meetings booked
Month 3: Some opportunities created
Month 4: EXPLOSION

Most people quit in month 2. Right before the compound effect kicks in.

Results lag behind effort. Always.
---- 
We become what our habits allow. 

Because elite performance isn't built on massive changes.

It's built on atomic habits, compounded daily.

Start small. 

But start now!
