With 34 years of B2B sales expertise, I specialize in combining AI-driven automation with human expertise to create a sales process that is both highly efficient and deeply personal. AI can research prospects, automate outreach, and improve efficiency, but it is the human connection, strategic thinking, and emotional intelligence that ultimately close deals and build lasting relationships. My approach leverages AI for scale and efficiency, while ensuring that personal interaction, thoughtful follow-ups, and strategic conversations remain at the core of the sales process. By integrating AI-driven insights with real human engagement, businesses can achieve higher conversion rates, stronger client relationships, and long-term sales success. B2B Sales Leadership & AI Integration For the past 17 years, I have helped businesses grow by implementing proven sales strategies, refining outreach processes, and developing high-performing sales teams. In recent years, I have embraced AI-driven automation, allowing businesses to scale outreach and engagement while maintaining the human element that fosters trust and closes deals. Before launching my consulting practice, I spent 17 years at ADP, where I rose to Vice President of Sales and Alliances for the Tax Division, leading a team of 250 indirect reports. With deep expertise in sales leadership, AI-powered execution, and strategic engagement, I design and implement measurable, scalable sales solutions tailored to each business’s unique needs. How I Help Businesses Grow ✅ AI-Driven Sales Execution – Automating prospect research, outreach, and engagement while ensuring human connection at key touchpoints. ✅ Sales Strategy & Leadership – Defining value propositions, competitive differentiators, and outreach strategies to improve market penetration. ✅ Proven Sales Processes – Implementing structured steps of the sale to increase conversion rates, shorten sales cycles, and drive revenue growth. ✅ Sales Training & Development – Coaching teams to refine presentations, improve closing techniques, and build long-term client relationships. I bridge the gap between AI and human sales expertise, ensuring businesses maximize efficiency without sacrificing the relationships that drive long-term success. By strategically combining automation with personal engagement, I help companies create scalable, repeatable, and effective sales processes that deliver real results.

I’m a “jack” of all trades. My professional experience begins with customer service as the foundation of every great business. I began in collections and treated every customer as I would want to be treated while I was going through a hard time. In that role I negotiated settlements and payments plans. I explained credit to customers and let them know we were there for them, creating life long customer relationships. I moved into sales and business development and really built up my portfolio of clients who continued coming back to purchase big ticket items because of my approach.
