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.

Helping Founders & GTM Leaders Go-to-Market Collaboratively | Founder of RevGenius community of 40k+ GTM leaders | Startup Advisor | “The most important thing you can do in sales and life is be a homie” - Bloomberg

The loudest don't win. The most resonant do.

I help founders turn audiences into movements - not through marketing noise, but through authentic connection that compounds.

I've built this playbook firsthand:
- Grew RevGenius from 0 to 55,000 members and 7-figure revenue in 3 years
- Scaled multiple startups from zero to 7 figures, including 2 exits
- Now advising 12+ SaaS startups on audience-led growth

Here's what I've learned: The companies that create new categories don't compete for attention - they create their own gravity. They build audiences that become movements. That's The Resonance.

I work with founders and GTM leaders to:
- Clarify their POV so it cuts through the noise
- Build audiences and communities that compound over time
- Create category-defining movements, not just marketing campaigns

If you're ready to build through resonance instead of noise, let's connect.

Writer

Launched a newsletter helping Founders, Fractionals and GTM Leaders go-to-market collaboratively.

After 5 years of posting consistently on LinkedIn I finally was recognized as a Legend.

It only took me 2847 posts.

Great hanging with Katie Penner and Nick Bennett at B2BMX.

This is my first year doing the marketing conference circuit and it rocks. 

Best swag and most creative folks in b2b.

Excited to see Leslie Venetz and Devin Reed speak and hang with the homie Aneesh Lal.

Amped for meeting all friends and new.

Thank you Influ2 for the honor :)

I help founders create markets, not fight for them 🏴‍☠️

This table of creators is far more than just influencers. 

They are people of influence. They drive revenue.

Sitting with 🐐s last night at a close to day 1 of b2bmx.

Elfried Samba , Devin Reed , Shali Rana Reed , Katie Penner , Jen Allen-Knuth , and Aneesh Lal.

Aneesh was the first head of community of RevGenius. 

Watching him take that and build the most powerful Influencer agency has been exciting.

There are dozens of influencer agencies.

They’re tactical, transactional, paid-ad like motions. 

Aneesh is out here building the most powerful agency representing people with influence. 

Strategic, growth focused, partners and evangelists. 

The revenue results are the difference.

Proud of him. 

Grateful to be in the room.

March is the worst in NYC, so I'm leaving:

Going to B2BMX in San Diego next week.
Going to Wynter's Spryng conference in Austin in 3 weeks.

RevGenius partnered with B2BMX and is sponsoring the conference.

Amped to hang with friends like Kris who's been absolutely crushing with Sendoso next week.

And then Peep Laja, who's been growing Wynter steadily since we met IRL at SaaStr (and before digitally) a few years ago. 

Texted Ding Zheng and will be visiting his new office in Austin while there and hanging with new friends like Lauren Thompson who's working with David Walker and {Jon} Studham to build a powerhouse with Spara.

I've done the SaaStr and Dreamforce thing and they're great.

But there's something that just hits differently with these marketing focused events for me.

I have a feeling I'm going to love the intimacy of Spryng.

March doesn't have to suck. 

Anyone else going to either?

Met with George Vlasyev yesterday at my new 'co-creating' space The Lighthouse.

Been getting so much life from the space and had the opportunity to use one of their podcast studios to be interviewed on a range of AI GTM topics.

The future of search, Audience Engineering, ads in llms (OpenAI 👀), video and so much more.

George is bullish on video in funnels and has mastered it. 

Even more importantly, he's going to be moving to NYC (putting it out there), to double down on his startup and aspirations.

Video episode dropping soon. 

Thank you for your time homie.

Follow him, he's going to do massive things.

Most reps see a signal and think buying intent. And it's absolutely killing their reply rates.

Leslie Venetz calls it what it actually is: noise you're creating for yourself.

She's been doing signal-based outreach since 2009. Her take: every signal puts your prospect in one of three buckets. And most reps treat them all the same.

Problem Unaware: they just changed jobs. They don't know what's about to hit them. Don't pitch. Deposit value. Leslie waited two weeks after a new CPO trigger, then sent a 3-page guide on how to nail the first 100-day internal roadshow. No ask. Just relevance.

Option Unaware: they're attending webinars, downloading content, figuring out what "good" even looks like. Stop pushing them to a demo. Keep educating. Become the resource they trust before the decision is made.

Vendor Aware: they're on your pricing page. Now get out of the way. Answer the question. Use video. Remove barriers. Stop forcing a 45-minute demo on someone who asked one thing.

The shift: from "what's my in?" to "what do they actually need right now?"

Companies she's seen making this shift went from 0.02% to 20-30% open and reply rates.

Not by sending more. By sending what actually earns the next email.

About a year ago I met Mike. 

I can't tell you the positive impact he had on my journey. (and he probably doesn't even realize it)

I was burning out fast and felt like I was all alone. Burning out and feeling alone is a really difficult combo.

Even running a 60k+ person community, it's possible to feel alone.

We were speaking about collaborating on a project at the time.

We'd have conversations I'd yearned to have with somebody who's been in my situation. Has been successful.  He gave me space to open up and to not feel so alone.

He became a guide for me over a relatively short period of time. 

Following, I made some tough decisions and placed some bets. Not all of them panned out. 

But that's ok, my sleepless nights became fewer and further between. 

I felt more in control - even with failed bets and through tough times.

The tough times made me a stronger operator. More seasoned.

My love for growing our community grew stronger than ever in the process.

And today, I'm exactly where I need to be.

We caught up last week and snapped this picture. I'm sure he could sense a shift in me.

All because he was a friend before business.

In a world full of ai, taste is still in short supply.

If you're just repeating 'congrats on raising a round of funding' you're driving zero connection. And they probably don't even know they have a problem

The problem unaware bucket is where you can drive the most impact to revenue by changing your mindset.

Interviewed Leslie Venetz for our newsletter.

She's been doing signal-based outreach since 2009. Her take: every signal puts your prospect in one of three buckets. And most reps treat them all the same.

In this clip, she discusses the problem unaware one.

They just changed jobs and don't know what's about to hit them. 🤣

Her suggestion is to not pitch and deposit value. Leslie would wait two weeks after a new CPO trigger, then sent a 3-page guide on how to nail the first 100-day internal roadshow. 

Just straight value. 

How are you leveraging nuance with signal-led outreach?

Have you checked out what Relevance AI is building?

Excited about partnering with them at RevGenius. Have some great programming in the community we are rolling out.

They’re crushing it from down under (Australia) and establishing a bigger presence in the states.

Relevance AI allows Ops and Growth teams to build and manage an entire AI workforce in one powerful visual platform. 

This allows you to build custom agents in seconds and manage complex workflows with full context.

More importantly, they’re going to be helping GTM leaders learn how through some killer programming.

Stay tuned!

🤯

THE GTM ENGINE JUST FOUND ITS TURBO. 🚀

The gap between "having AI" and "scaling AI" is where most GTM teams are getting stuck. We're officially closing that gap today by welcoming Relevance AI to the RevGenius partner ecosystem.

Relevance AI allows Ops and Growth teams to build and manage an entire AI workforce in one powerful visual platform. While most tools give you a single assistant, they provide a team of autonomous agents that deliver human-quality work across your entire engine. This allows you to build custom agents in seconds and manage complex workflows with full context.

We’re obsessed with bringing you the tools that actually move the needle. Relevance AI is a massive addition to how we’ll build the future of GTM together.
