$125K+ closed solo on a $2.5K offer, in just a few short months. 50+ deals. 40%+ close rate. So I know how to build the entire front end of a sales system. Ranked top percentile of 120K+ experienced closers on Closerscored. Back to back salesman of the year at JRM, while also breaking multiple records (highest gross month and year). I close every day on high-volume inbound, which means I see what's working right now. Not theory from a course, not a framework from 2022. I bring that pattern recognition to founders who are leaving money on the table somewhere in their funnel. Two ways I work with founders: 1. Call Audits & Sales Teardowns — Send me your team's recorded calls and current pitch. You get a Loom walkthrough with specific fixes: openers, discovery gaps, objection handling, closing language, follow-up. 2. Full-Stack Sales Breakdown — A full front end breakdown. From building quality lead list, speed to lead, scripts, qualifying and closing. What I need from you: A real offer with proof of concept. If it's converted a few times, I can find what's broken and scale what's working.
