Tempo Consulting

Market analysis and GTM strategy for middle market and enterprise B2B firms.

Principal

B2B Power Hour

A feet-first experience into the world of B2B sales. We recorded 200 episodes featuring sales experts, LinkedIn royalty, and a bunch of laughs. One listener called it "the most useful podcast I've ever listened to." We built the show in public. It included a famed live cold calling series that earned 1MM+ watch minutes per episode, deep dive interviews where we got experts to share the secret sauce for free, and a series of episodes on social selling that built and shaped the conversation out here on LinkedIn. A one-of-a-kind experience.

Freelance Marketing

Hi 👋🏻  I'm an economic researcher who left government for the private sector. I work on bridging data, insight, and strategy for B2B companies (market analysis and GTM planning). 

If you're interested in go-to-market strategy, you should consider subscribing to my weekly column on Substack analyzing how companies are adapting their GTM strategy. It's written for revenue & operations leaders at middle market or larger companies. It's free to get the weekly email 😁 

I love whisky - mostly Scotch - and cannot get enough tacos in my life. I judge a taquería by its al pastor taco. My favorite bar is a local dive that serves a "house wine" that's actually just whisky and coke. My favorite cocktail is a Rob Roy. 

I care most about surrounding myself with good people, and without sounding too serious about it, I try to treat people really well. Life's too short to be rude, selfish, and uncaring.

📧 DM me here if you've got questions.

PS - got a New Zealand recommendation? I'm headed there in the spring
