Co-Founder

6x Sales Leader - 4x Founder - 3x Author - Sales Consultant + Advisor - Diversified Entrepreneur

I help founders and revenue leaders scale better, and have the results to prove it. Having worked with 12 unicorns and being part of 15 exits has given me a variety of experience across segments and verticals.

Since going full time on my own, I've worked with 160+ companies from all around the world on GTM strategy and process and automation; sales playbook creation and messaging, revops processes and operational rigor, executive sales recruiting, ae coaching/training, cs expansion revenue, channel partnerships and more. 

Additionally, I coach VPs/CROs/Fractional sales leaders; run a small VC firm called Milos Ventures, and run a micro conference and podcast that provide people with a safe space to learn, grow, and develop their skills called The Surf & Sales Summit.

I've written two Amazon #1 best-selling books: "Addicted to the Process" [2017], and "More Than a Number" [2021]. I also co-authored "From Rep to Manager" [2021] w/ Ryan Walker. 

In my last operating role as the SVP Sales at Qualia, we went from zero paying customers to Unicorn status in just 3 years. I built the sales motion and team from scratch, as we built the first settlement system in the title industry to take advantage of modern technology.

I have spent my entire professional career building and scaling early stage startups, and have a proven track record of lifting organizations to new heights with limited resources allocated to the task at hand.

CEO & Founder

Scott Leese Consulting, LLC was founded with a concentration on strategic efficiency of your sales teams. Armed with years of industry experience - and a proven track record of success - we focus on a scalable approach to sales strategies, processes, people, and infrastructure.

We help you build revenue-driving motions across the org from strategy to powerful messaging with coaching to process, training, data strategy, recruiting and more.

The reason your sales hire failed has nothing to do with the rep.

You hired someone great.
Then you handed them a broken process, unclear ICP, no messaging, and said go figure it out.

They couldn't.
You called it a bad hire.

That rep went somewhere with infrastructure and crushed it.

Stop blaming talent for your leadership failures.
