Precision

Precision helps growth-minded founders understand how their business actually works so they can scale with clarity, not chaos.

Most companies don’t need another dashboard. They need a system for making better decisions, holding teams accountable, and reviewing performance consistently. That’s what we’re building.

Precision connects to the tools you already use, reviews your business weekly, and gives you clear actions to grow. No fluff. Just the real workflow behind every successful company: measure results, make decisions, manage the team.... repeat weekly.

I’ve spent over a decade in leadership roles— co-founding a software company that was acquired, serving as COO of an 8-figure services company, and coaching over 100 SaaS founders. Precision is everything I’ve learned, packaged into one platform.

We’re currently onboarding 50 founders who want to help shape the future of how businesses operate. If you’re serious about growth and want to work directly with me to set up your metrics, scorecards, and reviews…

DM me “Inner Circle” and I’ll send you the details.

We help sales organizations hire the top 5% of sales talent, FAST! Hunter of Purple Squirrels 🐿 & Unicorns 🦄 | Expert at herding cats 🐱 | Speaker 🎤 | Author 📖

I didn't start a recruiting firm because I love recruiting. I started GSD because I was tired of watching great founders get crushed by the one thing that should be empowering them: hiring.

After 20+ years leading sales teams through IPOs and massive exits ($3.5B), I saw the same painful pattern over and over: a great company stalled by a single bad hire.

That's why my wife, Angie, and I built GSD. We partner with SaaS founders to move beyond the resume and the "vibe check." We install the proven systems to FIND, BUILD, and DEVELOP the A-Player talent that drives real growth.

Our philosophy is simple:
• A-Players are found through proactive hunting, not passive job ads.
• A proven system is always more reliable than a gut feeling.

If you believe your hiring process should be a strategic advantage, not an administrative task, let's connect.

We help growing sales organizations hire the top 5% of sales talent, FAST!

*I am a sales recruiter and not a coach. I realize the name is confusing but my only services are sales recruiting.*

I was a successful quota carrying Sales Leader for over 25 years before starting my sales recruiting business 8 years ago.

Some of my proudest moments:
$50M+ funding rounds, IPO, $317M & $3.5B acquisition.
During this time, I built relationships with over 20,000 of the best and smartest salespeople, leaders & recruiters on the planet. Over the years I used these relationships to help companies find great sales talent and to help sales talent find great companies. 

We help growing companies hire the best salespeople and sales leaders while removing the frustration from the process.

1,000’s of candidates screened and 100's placed each year in successful sales roles.

Does it make sense to continue using the same hiring process even though it doesn’t get you the A+ sales talent that you want?

Are you ready to stop using outdated sales recruiting methods and start looking for sales MVP’s every time?

Take the next move with your sales team and create a team of sales MVP’s. GSD Coach & Recruiting has the solution to find your best talent. Our rigorous recruitment process gets you the top sales talent that you need, fast!
