About

I believe confidence is the most powerful — and most overlooked — skill in sales. Without it, discovery stalls, objections feel heavier, and pressure replaces presence. But when sellers are grounded in confidence, everything changes: questions flow more naturally, trust builds faster, and deals move forward with momentum. ⁣ As Global Sales Trainer at Apollo, I’ve trained thousands of sellers on how to move past scripts and pressure into something deeper: ⁣ * Building confidence as a skill, not a personality trait * Asking questions that spark clarity and trust * Running discovery that moves deals forward ⁣ Along the way I’ve developed:⁣ ⁣ * 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 – my approach to helping sellers master discovery by building their own custom playbook of questions.⁣ * 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 – a mindset framework that helps sellers build resilience.⁣ * 𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗘 – a sales experimentation system to test and iterate with precision.⁣ * 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 - an interview course that teaches job seekers how to sell their unique story. ⁣ Most recently, I launched Sales Therapy Live—a weekly gathering for sellers to master the inner game of sales together. It’s not another webinar or training. It
