In 1985, I entered the software business as the founder of Timeslips Corp (sold to Sage Plc) after creating the largest network of Certified Consultants in the software industry, over 350 in just 18 months. After selling my company, I then ran Sage Plc in the US as the COO, with over 300 staff.
As a CEO Advisor to several companies simultaneously, I participated in many different business types, solving many diverse types of problems in sales organizations, marketing, technology, systems, and HR. I led a 3-way partnership between myself, Tony Robbins, and Chet Holmes.
I wasn’t always the CEO/President of Tony Robbins and Chet Holmes Business Breakthroughs joint venture; I started at the bottom, part-time helping recruit salespeople for Chet. As part of that assignment, I built the recruitment division for Chet and tripled his sales force.
I built that into a $1M division for the company in the first year. Later, as I discovered how to leverage our client relationships by getting deeper into their businesses, I created a new Client Services division that increased repeat sales by 700%. We also mastered the art of radio marketing and selling, driving over 3000 leads a week from radio alone with a conversion rate of up to 19%. Through our partnership, we took company revenue from $3M to $25M+ in just four years with a 300-person all-virtual team.
I ran a $25M+ business from a spare bedroom I converted into a home office.
As 2013 came to a close, I went on to write my Amazon #1 Best Seller: The Invisible Organization, which is a detailed blueprint explaining step-by-step how to transform a traditional physical infrastructure into a virtual powerhouse of a company. And then turn that organization into a marketing superpower.
My second book: Power Tribes, is my tribe-building manifesto leading entrepreneurs to powerful community-based alternate sales channels, based on the certification model I perfected while building Timeslips Corp.
Additionally, I have been involved in several exciting projects, including a partnership with Kevin Harrington, and continue to create compelling content, courses, and programs for my clients.
