I spent nearly two decades at Verizon, a Fortune 50 company, climbing from a front-line rep to Senior Manager of Business Sales. I sat in the rooms where promotions and raises got decided, and I built the sales teams that closed real revenue. Now I hand that playbook to the people who were never shown how.
You are working hard and watching other people get promoted ahead of you. I show you how those promotion decisions actually get made, because I was the one making them, and I give you the exact moves to reach the next level and get paid for it.
You can build the product, but the business only grows when you can lead a team and close the sale. I led sales at a Fortune 50 for years. I teach you how to sell without sounding like a salesman and how to lead the people you bring on.
