Bob Robinson Jr.
President and CRO
Sean offers fabulous insights and suggestions each time we're together. His knowledge of the sales process in any industry makes him an extremely valuable resource when trying to grow new business. I find Sean's knowledge of establishing key metrics and forecasting sales growth extremely valuable as well as his deep understanding and use of the many tools available to sales organizations. I highly recommend Sean for any sales organization that is struggling to execute on sales growth and for companies that know they need help improving their sales process but don't know how to do it.
George MacDonald
Senior Sales Strategist
Sean is a master coach for helping shape sales process and methodology. Following his methods will help grow sales faster transactionally and strategically. Often a couple pieces of the puzzle are missing and Sean helps quickly identify them.
You have everything to gain by having Sean look at your current approach. He is a change agent and disruptive to the status quo. Pushing the pace and flow of deals is his sweet spot. I am a better sales leader because of my time with him.
Mike Perazzo
Executive Vice President of Sales
It doesn’t work like that! Knowing the science of sales and studying what successful sales people have done only gets you part way where you want to go. Sales and sales leadership are equal parts science and art. The knowledge is important, but you must do the work or hire somebody else to do it for you. If revenue is a struggle, Sean is the guy you need. He’s an expert not only in the science but also the art of selling and sales leadership. He helps you know what to do, how to do it, why, and most importantly he produces unbelievable results. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

4x Top Salesperson | 3x Department Head | 2x Angel Investor | 2x Board Director | Inventor | Best-Selling Author
Often life puts you in contact someone, and you wish you had known this person earlier. Working shoulder to shoulder with Sean is like that. He runs Sales. I run Marketing. Yet, the synergy between our departments is amazing because we understand the common goal of achieving a growth mission.
Sean's accumulated sales experience should be something every marketer needs to learn. In return, Sean's openness and willingness to collaborate with me drove so our achievements faster than ever before. For example, we generated 2x more campaigns because we fluidly tested, retested and adjusted. There were no barriers to our imagination and ability to execute. I could drive new topics based on his vast knowledge from prospect and customer conversations.
Working with Sean, no - let me restate that .... 'collaborating' with Sean is how sales and marketing departments should be. Like I said in my introduction - I wish we had known each other earlier. But I know him now. And that's what counts because today and tomorrow is where achieve our next successes.

Skinned Knees – What an MBA Didn’t Teach You About Sales
The sales profession is challenging. You need to work hard at it to succeed. You need to learn from the best. You need to improve your skills continuously. If you think you can sell since you are a hit at parties and have a lot of friends, you may soon find that you are a failure as a salesperson. Blunt truth:
because the sales profession is so hard, you have to focus on doing everything in sales very well, or you will be considered a failure.
I call this “Skinned Knees” because the reality is that most of what makes a salesperson or a sales manager successful is learning from others or learning through mistakes (skinned knees). If you want to learn more about how to be great in sales and sales management, click here
Prospecting
Prospecting For The Sake Of Prospecting Is Probably A Waste Of Time
Too often, a sales manager will tell the sales team that they have to make some number of prospecting calls per day (or week). I hate to be insulting to your manager, but this is typically a sign of a manager that doesn’t understand the value of salespeople.
Instead, salespeople should find prospects who can buy the product and are open to evaluating new offerings. Lazy salespeople are financially poor salespeople, but activity for the sake of activity is not the goal.
I would much rather the salesperson identify great prospects and then spend a lot of activity trying to put a targeted and customized value proposition in front of that prospect. You may still make 25 or 50 calls per day, but the metric should be lots of activity in front of great prospects rather than just a lot of activity.
