I have led teams as large as 250 people (small as 4) and thousands of projects in the United States and abroad for hundreds of clients across multiple functional areas in the military and in the private sector. I thrive under pressure in competitive, ambiguous, and autonomous environments. I break rules when it makes sense, and I tenaciously apply a growth mindset towards everything I do. 

At Supered, I am working for a fast-paced team full of passionate people that work hard and have fun while doing it!

You might catch me saying:
- "I Believe; Do it BIG; Stay Supered!"
- "A Fistbump a Day Keeps the Doctor Away"
- "Fail often, fail fast; never stop learning"

19 THINGS I wish someone told me about managing sales
1. You will feel CRAZY.
Every day you’ll ask: “Is this a me issue, a you issue, or a process issue?”
Spoiler: it’s usually THE PROCESS. And you won't know it.....

2. Give people the rope they need to climb… or hang themselves.
If you never let reps fail, you’ll never know who can actually sell.

3. Behavior > Activity.
One rep doing the right thing beats five reps doing 900 random things. Inspect / Expect

4. Don’t waste revenue time on non-revenue things.
Every meeting steals quota AND most meetings are thieves.

5. Reps aren’t lazy.
They just don’t think what you’re telling them is worth it.

6. Give people permission to say, “What you’re asking me to do is f*ing stupid.”**
That’s how you get truth; truth is how you get better; getting better is how you win

7. Your job is to form, not manage.
Manage tasks AND Form people.

8. Forecasting is rainbow-colored poop.
Every rep has a predisposed way to report - You’re not fixing it (stop trying), learn their predisposition

9. Never skip 1:1s.
If you only talk tactics, YOU ARE a calendar notification, not a leader. Ask deep questions (do you have time, tools, support you need; what are you stressed about?)

10. You are the emotional shock absorber.
They WILL bring their panic; you bring perspective and solid ground

11. 90% of “motivation issues” are actually clarity issues.
If someone isn’t doing the thing, they don’t understand it, don’t believe in it, or don’t know how to start.

12. You can’t coach what you can’t see.
Invisible process = invisible problems = invisible improvement.

13. If you don’t run the cadence, the reps will.
nd their cadence is: “No cadence.” Need some ryhthmic way to - give forecast, do call reviews, etc.

14. The worst thing you can do for a struggling rep is lower the standard.
HIGH support. HIGH belief.HIGH expectations.
NEVER lowering the bar.

15. You will hire people you love who are secretly terrible at the job.
And you’ll keep them 90 days too long. Everyone does.

16. If you don’t define good, reps create 12 versions of it.
None match yours. Define great → operationalize it → inspect it. There must be method you inspect against. You set the culture.

17. Reps can only handle 2–3 priorities.
You have 19. Choose. and then ONLY give them 1....

18. Your job isn’t to be liked.
Your job is to make them better. Ironically, do that well, and they’ll like you anyway. Embrace hard conversations. GET GOOD at them.

19. Listen for the story they’re telling themselves.
Narratives create behavior. Change the story → change the rep. Once they realize the power of story, they will become a better rep as well.

My recommendation: Get on the unicorn and start riding. Do your best. I believe!

stay Supered⚡,

P.S: Which ones am I missing that you wished someone told you??

Didn’t make the freshman A team. Didn’t make varsity until junior year. But ended up college All-American. 


Just like in the content game.

I didn’t gain 10k followers in a month.

I’m not in ad age or any top lists. 

But I get paid 💰 by the best brands to make content.

I'm breaking down Starbucks "Bearista" fiasco using Hootsuite's Social Listening powered by Talkwalker in Ep 1 of my new series. 

In this series I'm going to be using our Social Listening platform to look at trending marketing campaigns and cultural events. 

Using data from 150 million sources, 30+ social networks, including podcasts and videos. 

Why? We all have different feeds, see different posts with different opinions.  

The only way you can make strategic decisions is when you see the entire conversation!

If you didn't know, Social Listening is the new "Signal" on the block. 

#starbucks #sociallistening

I want to go to New York and shoot content with ppl.

DM ME, I'm DM'ing a few of my favorite folks too. 

I'm thinking fisheye lens, vlog style, meet you in your habitat or join you in your hobby.
