The SD Lab

I help B2B sales teams fix outbound and build top-of-funnel engines that actually deliver

Over the last 18 years I’ve been on every side of the outbound game from full cycle sales to SDR, from ops to leadership I’ve built motions from zero, led teams in the trenches and turned broken outbound into predictable pipelines

Since 2022 I’ve partnered with sales leaders across SaaS, logistics, facilities and more to reset their outbound motion and get their teams back on quota

The Outbound Accelerator (8–12 weeks)
This isn’t theory. I embed with SDR teams to coach, train and rebuild their processes. Weekly live workshops. Hands-on sessions. Custom playbooks. By the end your reps aren’t just booking more meetings they’re booking better ones. Leaders leave with a team and a system they can trust to perform

Why leaders bring me in
18 years in outbound across multiple industries
Tactical expertise from someone still on the phones
Proven results: SDR orgs seeing 20–30% lifts in meetings booked within one quarter

From cubicle cold calls to helping companies like Kustomer and ServiceChannel scale outbound systems that last

Sendspark

Since June 2023 I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Bethany the co-founder of Sendspark and Ben Wright in supporting, promoting and integrating Sendspark into my daily sales activities. As a brand ambassador I actively use Sendspark for all my video needs—from prospecting and proposals to trainings—and share my experiences through my LinkedIn brand.

Sendspark has become my go-to tool because it genuinely enhances how I connect with clients and prospects. It’s a tool I believe in and I’m excited to represent it. I also get to work closely with the Sendspark team to create engaging and fun content that showcases the power of their platform.

RevGenius

Member

During my tenure as Program Director, Community Manager and RevLeague Founder at RevGenius I partnered with Jared Robin and the RG team to orchestrate an extraordinary community growth journey from July 2020 to May 2022. Together we transformed a community of 2,000 members into a thriving force of 40,000+ members.

In October 2020 I took a bold stride by creating RevLeague. A micro-community within RevGenius. In an era marked by the isolation of remote work, RevLeague emerged as a dynamic haven for Sales Leaders, SDRs, and AEs seeking collaboration, support, and empowerment. We crafted a vibrant space where walls couldn't confine us. Enabling individuals to connect, share, and thrive.

Guiding RevLeague to over 2,000 members, I fostered a dynamic environment with weekly office hours, stimulating competitions, and collaborations with esteemed sponsors like Ambition, SalesScreen, and ConnectandSell. This journey was a testament to our collective drive to uplift and amplify the growth of sales reps in the evolving landscape.

With my contributions as a Program Director, Community Manager, and RevLeague Founder I embraced the opportunity to fuel connections, inspire growth, and foster an unwavering spirit of camaraderie within the RevGenius community.
