Founder & CEO @ Simply Scale • Grow Faster by Automating Salesforce

After working with 5 tech unicorns, I’ve noticed something.

The happiest companies? The ones with clean Salesforce orgs, consistent reporting, and reps who actually follow process... 

All do one simple thing:

They think before they build.

Every. Single. Time.

Unhappy companies?
They react to a problem and build immediately.

• Random fields. 
• Random automations. 
• Random dashboards.

And randomness eventually becomes revenue loss.
Here’s the habit that fixes everything:

1. Define the problem on paper
2. Map the steps of the process
3. Decide who owns each step
4. Decide when automation matters
5. Only then open Salesforce

It’s not a fancy tool.
It’s not a huge project.
It’s a discipline.

And in some cases takes you like 30 mins to do.

But that 30 minutes saves you:
• 6 wasted months
• 10 broken automations
• Hundreds of manual tasks
• Thousands in consultant fees
• And millions in lost pipeline

Salesforce is powerful BUT only if you give it a brain.

The brain comes first.
The build comes second.

CEO @ Simply Scale • Automating Salesforce for B2B Tech

I never planned on working in Salesforce.
It found me by accident.

Here’s how it happened:

I wasn’t technical.
I wasn’t “business savvy.”
I was making $15 an hour in customer service at Jet(dot)com.

Then I moved into partner operations.
Then a business analyst role.
And one day…

The entire legacy Salesforce team got cut.

My manager looks at me and says,
“Guess what. We own Salesforce now. Time to learn it.”

So I dove in.

Trailhead at night.
Resetting passwords during the day.
Breaking things.
Fixing things.
Repeating.

And when I realized what Salesforce pros were earning
I thought...
This might be my way out.

I didn’t have deep experience.
I had a stack of Trailhead badges,
a few buzzwords
and a willingness to move faster than anyone else.

I applied for a Salesforce role @ a tech company

And I got it.

That job changed my entire trajectory.
Not because I was special.
But because I finally backed myself
long before anyone else did.

Today, we help mid-market tech companies turn Salesforce into the growth engine it was meant to be - not the messy & frustrating system most teams live with.

If your CRM is slowing down your business, DM me “CRM” and we’ll talk.

Short list of life-changing Salesforce habits:


1) Decide with data, not assumptions.

2) Clean your org weekly, not yearly.

3) Don't be "too good" for trailhead.

4) Customize when needed, not wanted.

5) Sandbox is where you live, not visit.


Your business changes when you give more than you take.

Just spoke with the head of sales at an $8M ARR company who told me: "Salesforce is broken". I hear this all the time and the problem is almost never Salesforce. It's how it's set up & how people think about it.

Here’s what’s actually broken:

Data entry → reps double type instead of selling
Integrations → tools don’t talk, so leader flies blind
Reporting → generic dashboards hide the real problems

These aren’t Salesforce problems. They are people and process problems.

Fix the setup.
Trust the system.
Grow faster.

Most companies think the choice is simple:

1. Hire a Salesforce Admin
2. Hire a Consulting Team

But the right answer depends on what your business actually needs.

Here is why so many companies choose a consultant:

• You get senior experts on day one
• You can start and stop whenever you want
• No extra costs like benefits, training, or insurance
• You avoid expensive mistakes that slow teams down
• You use proven playbooks from dozens of other companies

But here is the other side:

• They cost more per hour than a full time hire
• Consultants are not inside your company every day
• They need time to learn your people and your processes

So what should you do?

If your system is built and you need steady care...
→ Go with an Admin.

If you need new systems built & strategy...
→ Go with a Consultant.

There is no universal winner.
There is only the right fit for the stage your business is in.

Most companies choose wrong because they do not match the hire to the problem. Get that part right and everything else gets easier.

Admin vs. Consultant

Here are 3 crucial lessons learned:

→ It's impossible to know everything
→ Learn to accept and be honest about it
→ Hire teammates who can fill the gaps

Everyone has something to bring to the table.

10 Big Businesses Using Salesforce

99% of struggling businesses we help have 1 thing in common...

They don't have a "brain" for the company.

Here's a scenario:

Everyone’s in their own silo.

• Marketing’s in HubSpot.
• Sales is using Google Sheets.
• Support lives in Slack threads.
• Finance runs through QuickBooks.

Information’s scattered.
Nothing talks to each other.
The whole system slows down.

THIS is why Salesforce exists!

You can store all your business data here.

But here’s the thing most companies miss:

Salesforce only works well if you wire it for the business you’re building. 

Not the one you used to be.

If your team’s stuck:

• Missing follow-ups
• manually pulling data
• OR relying on memory…

That’s not a team problem.
That’s a systems problem.

Fix the system, fix the business.

What I’ve seen work in Salesforce over and over, is less AI & more human.
It's Ops Managers sitting w/ stakeholders.

Not a kickoff meeting.
Not a requirements doc.

Real time. Real work.

They listen to:

• Where reps get stuck
• How sales actually qualify a lead
• What support does when things go sideways
• How renewals really happen, not how the slide says they do

Because the truth is, the raw process lives in people’s heads.
And in Slack...
And in side conversations after meetings...

If you don’t see that, you’ll build the wrong thing in Salesforce.

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

Salesforce should mirror reality.
Not aspiration.

Before building anything, strong Ops leaders do discovery by asking:

• What happens first
• What usually breaks
• Where people create workarounds
• What decisions feel slow or unclear

Only then do they touch Salesforce.

And when they do, the system finally sticks.

Because every field has a reason.
Every workflow removes friction.
Every dashboard answers a real question someone already has.

This is why the best Salesforce setups feel boring.
They don’t show off features.
They quietly make work easier.

Salesforce isn’t an Ops tool.
It’s a translation layer.

Your job isn’t to build software.
It’s to understand people well enough to encode how the business actually works.

Get that part right, and Salesforce becomes much less complicated.

Learning Salesforce is 80% figuring things out.

And 20% screaming “WHEN DID THIS CHANGE?!”

When I first started Simply Scale

It was just me.
I wore every hat.
Sales. Delivery. Support. Billing.

If I wasn’t working, nothing was moving.
Every hour I billed was tied directly to my own time.

That worked for a while.
But eventually… I hit a wall.

Because you can’t scale a business
when everything depends on 1 person.

So I made a choice

Stop being a freelancer.
Start building a company.

And that meant…
Hiring people I could trust.
Handing off work I thought only I could do.
Building systems so clients got consistency no matter who delivered.

Today, Simply Scale isn’t just me anymore.
 It’s a group of professionals who bring skills, experience,
 and perspectives I don’t have on my own.

And honestly?
That’s one of the things I’m most proud of.

Because now Simply Scale isn’t just my effort.
It’s a business that stands on its own.

Scaling hasn’t been easy.
Far from it actually.

But building something bigger than myself
has been worth every lesson along the way.

7 essential soft skills every good employer looks for in a candidate:


McKinsey & Company ran studies.

They found that companies with a diverse workforce are 35% more profitable.

But being diverse at heart means more than having one “diversity hire” on your team.

Here are the 7 soft skills you should look for in all your employees:


1) Changeability

Changeability involves being receptive to feedback.

This is someone who seeks opportunities for growth.

They adapt their approach and mindset when needed.

They stay agile and responsive in a rapidly changing world.

But this isn't just good for their personal development...

It also adds to your organizational resilience as a company.


2) Conflict resolution

This includes:

• Listening to all parties, 

• Identifying underlying issues, 

• Finding mutually agreeable solutions

People who can resolve conflicts are super important for your team.

They help to create a positive work environment with less disruptions for everyone. 


3) Attentiveness

Someone who is attentive is an active listener and pays close attention to details.

Whether they're working on a task or having a discussion, they're fully engaged. 

As a team, this makes for better communication and understanding. 

And leads to more accurate work and completed tasks.


4) Empathy

This is understanding and sharing the feelings, thoughts, and perspectives of others.

Someone with empathy listens to their colleagues. They show compassion and support.

It leads to a workplace where people can collaborate—which is essential for growth as a company.


5) Fostering a positive work environment

The ideal workplace is one where open communication, respect are commonplace. 

It's a place where your team can recognize each other's achievements in a genuine way.

It leads to boosted morale and better employee engagement.

Your team will be more creative and satisfied as a result.

This is what makes your company a great place to work.


6) Ease in working in diverse environments

You're looking for a person who can respecting and value other people's differences.

Someone who can accept different cultural perspectives.

A team member who can work well with individuals from varied backgrounds.

Companies who have this type of work culture are unstoppable.


7) Team work

The ability to collaborate well with others.

You want someone who is a great communicator. 

Someone who can contribute towards shared goals and projects.

This is THE most requested soft skill.

It's essential because it allows people to work with others without causing drama. 

If your team can't work together, you have a huge problem at hand.

Here’s the secret...

Document your work & they will build shrines for you.

I failed my 1st business.

Not a glamorous “learned a billion lessons and exited gracefully” way.

I mean I actually failed it.

I spent 4 years running a car wrap company in my early 20's.

I had no clue how to:

• Say no
• Price work
• Lead people
• Manage legalities
• Or scale something to 6 figures.

Was I working hard? Yes.
Was I working hard in circles? Also yes.

Some weeks we’d crush it. 
Other weeks I didn't want to look at our spend.

• Undercharged constantly.
• I took jobs I shouldn’t have.
• Tried to be everything to everyone.

And eventually… the math stopped working. 
The stress piled up. And I shut it down.

That decision felt like a punch to the gut. 
Like admitting I wasn’t cut out for entrepreneurship. 
Like I "wasted" 4 years of my life.

But looking back?

It was one of the most important chapters of my life.

Here’s what it taught me:

• Passion isn’t a business model. 
Loving what you do is great but if you don't know how to operate, manage
employees, or invest money you may never see again... it ain't gonna work.


• Failure isn’t final. No one moment defines you. 
Closing that business cleared the path for the one that actually worked.


• Risk is unavoidable. Stupid risk is optional. You don’t have to bet the house. You just have to bet enough to learn something.


• Every mistake compounds into wisdom later. I didn’t know it at the time… but those lessons became the foundation for the business I run today.


If you’re in your 1st (or 2nd… or 10th) venture and it feels like everything’s breaking...You’re not broken. You’re learning the part nobody puts on Instagram.

Keep going. You’ll be shocked how the failures you hate now become the building blocks of the life you want later.

Respect is free.
Crazy how some people still can’t afford it.

One thing I’ve learned working with all kinds of teams:

Titles don’t tell you who someone is.
Their behavior does.

I’ve seen interns treated like they didn’t matter…
And I’ve watched those same interns become the smartest people in the room.

I’ve seen leaders who only showed respect upward…
And leaders who treated everyone from the CEO to the janitor with the same kindness.

And the difference is obvious.

Real respect isn’t about
job titles,
degrees,
or LinkedIn headlines.

It’s about how you treat people before you know who they are.

Because the truth is simple:
You never regret showing someone respect.
But you might regret assuming they didn’t deserve it.

So here’s the real question:

If no one knew your title…
Would your behavior still make people feel valued?

Every marketer has been here.

Meanwhile, the marketing team is just trying to hold it together.

But here’s the truth —
Marketing isn’t about making things look good.
It’s about making things work.

✅ It turns chaos into clarity.
✅ It connects what the product does with what people actually want.
✅ It builds systems that create demand instead of chasing it.

When you treat marketing as design-on-demand, you get noise.
When you treat it as strategy, you get growth. 🚀

I hired the smartest person in the room once.
They lasted 3 months.

I hired the kindest person in the room once.
They're now running that team.

(Credit: Daniel Disney) 

Here's what that sign gets absolutely RIGHT about building winning teams 👇

We're obsessed with IQ.
With credentials.
With "rockstars" and "ninjas."

But after 15+ years building sales teams, I've learned something brutal:

Smart people who lack humility? They're ticking time bombs.

Think about it...

That genius who won't listen to feedback?
That top performer who belittles teammates?
That "expert" who thinks they know everything?

They're not building your business.
They're slowly destroying it.

Here's what ACTUALLY happens when you prioritize kindness and humility:

↳ Team meetings become idea factories (not ego battles)
↳ Mistakes become learning moments (not blame games)
↳ Success gets shared (not hoarded)
↳ People actually WANT to help each other win

I've seen it firsthand:

The "average" rep who listened to everyone?
Became our top performer within 6 months.

The "inexperienced" manager who admitted what they didn't know?
Built the strongest team culture we'd ever had.

The "quiet" team member who always helped others?
Now our most valuable leader.

Because here's the uncomfortable truth:

Skills can be taught.
Systems can be learned.
Processes can be mastered.

But kindness? Humility? 
Those are CHARACTER.

And character is what determines:
- How they handle pressure
- How they treat customers
- How they respond to failure
- How they celebrate others' wins

Smart people might win alone.
Kind and humble people? They build dynasties.

So next time you're hiring, promoting, or building a team...

Don't just check their resume.
Check their character.

Because working with smart people IS great.

But working with kind and humble people?

That's how you build something that actually lasts.

Your peace of mind is worth more than any paycheck

Not everyone wants the version of you that wins.

But those who do will help you get there.

Here’s the career advice they don't teach in school:
Individual talent only takes you so far.

The big multiplier is who you surround yourself with.
And more importantly, how you protect your inner circle.

(Credit: Maryann (MJ) Jamieson)

Think about your biggest career wins:

🔹 Who opened that door?
🔹 Who made that introduction?
🔹 Who challenged your thinking?
🔹 Who pushed you to level up?
🔹 Who celebrated your growth?
🔹 Who had your back when you doubted yourself?

Now think about your setbacks:

🚫 Who doubted every move?
🚫 Who spread subtle negativity?
🚫 Who made you question yourself?
🚫 Who downplayed your success?
🚫 Who disappeared when it mattered?

Success leaves clues.

And the biggest one is this:
Behind every major achievement is a circle of people who believed in you.
But first, you had to clear out those who didn't.

5 signs someone needs to go:

1/ They downplay your achievements
 ↳ "You just got lucky"
↳ Always finds the negative angle

2/ They compete instead of collaborate
↳ Turn every win into a comparison
↳ Make success feel like a zero-sum game

3/ They disappear during challenges
↳ Show up for celebrations, not struggles
↳ Always too busy when you need support

4/ They leak your energy
↳ Every interaction leaves you drained
↳ Turn excitement into doubt

5/ They guard information like weapons
↳ Hoard connections and opportunities
↳ See your growth as their loss

Remember:
You become who you hang around.
Not everyone clapping is in your corner.

Some cheer your wins.
Others cheer your struggles. 
Learn to spot the difference.

Building your circle matters.
Protecting it is critical.

Some years test your patience more than your strategy.

Not every year is about scaling fast, hitting every goal, or breaking records.
Some years are about surviving the turbulence and learning who you are when nothing goes as planned.

Those seasons don’t define your losses - they define your foundation.

Because:

👉 The lessons learned in difficult years become the instincts you rely on in successful ones.
👉 The resilience you build under pressure becomes the quiet strength that carries your team.
👉 The humility gained in setbacks makes you a better leader when you rise again.

You don’t lose when progress slows.
You build depth, discipline, and direction.

Growth doesn’t always look like expansion.
Sometimes, it looks like endurance.

Some years you win.
Other years - you build the person who will.

Marketing managers don’t sign up to do it all. They’re just expected to.

Write the copy.
Run the ads.
Design the creative.
Analyze the data.
Manage the projects.

No one can excel when they’re spread this thin.

Marketing managers shouldn’t have to wear every hat. They should be supported so they can focus on leading strategy and driving growth.

Working with smart people is great.
But it is not enough.

Because intelligence can solve problems.
But humility and kindness build cultures where problems don’t have to exist in the first place.

Here’s why it matters so much 👇

Kind and humble people:

They make collaboration effortless.
You don’t waste energy defending ideas or egos. 
You build together - faster, cleaner, and with more trust.

They create psychological safety.
When people feel respected, they speak up, share bold ideas, 
and admit mistakes early. 
That’s how teams innovate and grow.

They inspire long-term loyalty.
People don’t leave companies - they leave toxic dynamics. 
Working with grounded, genuine teammates keeps great talent around.

 Ways to practice kindness and humility at work:

Listen more than you talk.
You don’t need to have the loudest voice to have the strongest impact. 
Listening builds connection and earns respect.

Give credit - generously.
Acknowledging others’ work doesn’t diminish your own. 
It multiplies the trust and energy in your team.

Keep learning.
The moment you think you’ve “arrived,” you stop growing. 
Stay curious, stay open, and never let success make you unapproachable.

Kind people build strong teams.
Strong teams create big results.

Knowledge means nothing without movement.
And movement means nothing without repetition.

We saw so many people try to jump to the finish line -
scrolling for answers, collecting advice, taking notes on notes
but never taking action.

The truth is simpler:

If you’re lost → learn.
Information gives clarity.
You can’t solve a problem you don’t understand.

If you’ve learned → act.
Books and courses don’t build momentum.
Execution does.

If you’re acting → stay consistent.
One great day won’t change your life.
A hundred small ones will.

Growth isn’t magic.
It’s a sequence:

Learn → Do → Repeat.

No shortcuts.
No secret formula.
Just education, execution, and consistency - stacked brick by brick.

If you want to change your future, don’t look for a hack.

Look for your next step.

We live in a world obsessed with titles, but every person carries invisible stories of struggle, wisdom, and potential that no business card can capture.

When we lead with respect rather than hierarchy, we unlock something powerful: authentic human connection.

What i have learned about true leadership.

Real leaders don't wait to see credentials before showing respect. 

They understand that:
- Dignity isn't distributed based on job descriptions
- Today's intern could be tomorrow's innovator
- Every person has something valuable to teach us
- Character reveals itself in how we treat those who "can't help us"

Three simple shifts that change everything

1. Replace "What do you do?" with “What are you passionate about?"
Watch how conversations transform when you're genuinely curious about the person, not their position.

2. Listen for the story, not the status: 
Everyone has a journey. 

The most interesting people are often hiding in plain sight.

3. Practice "respectful curiosity": 
Approach each interaction wondering what you might learn, rather than what you might gain.

When you treat the receptionist with the same courtesy as the CEO, people notice. 

When you thank the maintenance team as genuinely as you thank your biggest client, culture shifts.

Respect isn't a favor you give; it's a standard you set.

Think about someone you interact with regularly but might overlook. 

What would happen if you approached them with fresh eyes tomorrow?

The most successful people I know aren't those who demand respect—they're the ones who give it freely.

What's one assumption you've made about someone that completely changed when you got to know their story?

The worst career advice I ever heard: "You're too old to start over."


Let's normalize people making big career changes at any age.

The most heartbreaking conversations I have are with people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who tell me:

"I wish I'd done this 10 years ago."

They stayed in careers they hated because they thought they were too old to pivot.

Too established to start over. Too far down one path to choose another.

So they played it safe. Collected the paycheck. Convinced themselves it was "too late."

Then one day they wake up and realize they spent decades building a life that doesn't fit them anymore.

Here's what nobody tells you about making a big career change later in life:

You're not starting from zero. You're starting from experience.

The courage it takes to change direction at 45 or 55 or 65? That's something most people will never have.

I've worked with clients who completely changed industries in their 50s.

Left corporate jobs to start businesses. Went back to school. Pursued passions they'd buried for 20 years.

Every single one said the same thing: "I should have done this sooner."

Age doesn't disqualify you from wanting something different. It qualifies you to finally go after what you actually want.

Stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for the "right time."

There's no expiration date on ambition.

Start now, or spend the next 10 years wishing you had.

We often search for the “perfect candidate” - someone with every qualification, every skill, and years of experience. But in doing so, we overlook a simple truth:

Most jobs are trainable.
What really matters is a person’s willingness to learn.

The real asset is a teachable attitude

Skills can be taught. Software can be learned.
Processes can be explained.
But curiosity, drive, and a growth mindset are priceless.

Here’s proof:

Every top chef once started at the sink, scrubbing dishes.

Every great designer once fumbled through their first Photoshop file.

Every confident leader once feared speaking up in a room.

Every skilled coder once Googled “how to write a loop.”

Every thriving professional once just had the courage to say, “I’m willing to learn.”

Skills are teachable. Hunger isn’t.
Hire for mindset. Train for mastery.

What employers should do

Hire for attitude, train for skill.
Build supportive onboarding and mentorship.
Create clear growth paths.
Reward effort, not just results.

The payoff:

When you give someone a chance, you don’t just fill a role, you build loyalty, reduce turnover, and uncover hidden potential.

Every expert was once a beginner.
Every success story started with someone who got a shot.

Let’s stop gatekeeping potential. Give people the opportunity to prove themselves.

Marketing without humor
is like pizza without cheese

You can serve it 

But 

No one’s coming back for seconds.
Funny doesn’t mean unprofessional.

It means relatable.
It means human.

People don’t remember the product.
They remember how you made them feel.

So make them feel good.

Add flavor to your brand. 
Not just features.

Bad copywriting:

• Here's my product
• Here's what it does
• Here's what's so good about it

Good copywriting:

• Here's your problem
• Here's the benefit of solving it
• Here's why what you've tried has failed
• And by the way here's a product that will help you solve it

You can mute people in real life too.

It is called boundaries.

Setting boundaries isn’t rude.
It’s responsible.

You’re not meant to be available for everyone, all the time.
Protecting your time, focus, and mental space doesn’t make you cold — it makes you effective.

Boundaries aren’t walls — they’re filters.
They help you decide what gets your attention and what doesn’t.
Because not everyone deserves access to your time or mental space.

🚫 Situations where you need to stop wasting time and set boundaries:

Endless negativity.
If someone always brings problems but never solutions — stop being their emotional landfill. You can listen with empathy without absorbing their energy.

Unclear work expectations.
If you’re constantly saying “yes” to extra work, late calls, or unrealistic deadlines, you’re not being a team player — you’re burning out. Boundaries protect both your energy and your quality of work.

Relationships that drain instead of support.
When every conversation leaves you exhausted or doubting yourself, it’s a sign to step back. Not everyone is meant to stay in your circle forever.

🧭 Simple ways to set healthy boundaries:

Communicate clearly — not emotionally.
Boundaries aren’t ultimatums. They’re statements of respect.
→ “I can’t take calls after 7 PM.”
→ “I’ll join, but only if we can stick to 30 minutes.”

Protect your calendar.
Treat your time like money. If you wouldn’t give away $1,000 easily, don’t give away hours of focus to low-value conversations or tasks.

Practice saying no — kindly.
“No” isn’t rejection. It’s redirection.
You’re saying no to one thing so you can say yes to something that matters more.

Boundaries don’t push people away.
They teach people how to treat you — and show that you take yourself seriously.

Because when you stop pouring into things that drain you,
you finally have energy for the things that build you. 

♻️ Repost to remind others that protecting your energy is productive.

Most people never lose because they tried.

They lost because they never started.

Trying doesn’t guarantee you’ll win.
 But not trying guarantees you won’t.

Every idea, business, or dream you’ve ever admired
Started with someone willing to look a little foolish at first.

You don’t need perfect timing.
You need momentum.

💡Start small. Try anyway.

The worst that happens? You learn.

The best? You win.
