Sales Talent Acquisition for Growth-Stage Companies
Building a great sales team is one of the most important—and most difficult—parts of scaling a company.
After building my own companies and leading sales hiring firsthand, I now help growth-stage organizations identify, attract, and hire high-impact sales talent.

My Approach- Sales Growth Spectrum
1. Understanding Your Sales Motion
Every company sells differently. I start by understanding your:
• Ideal customer profile
• Sales cycle
• Product complexity
• Growth stage
2. Defining the Right Sales Profile
Together we define the type of salesperson most likely to succeed in your environment.
3. Targeted Candidate Search
Rather than relying on job boards, I identify and engage proven sales professionals who are already succeeding in similar markets.
4. Structured Evaluation
Candidates are evaluated not just for experience, but for:
• Sales process discipline
• Pipeline generation ability
• Deal execution
• Cultural fit
5. Closing the Right Hire
I help guide the process through offer acceptance and onboarding to ensure a successful hire.
Why My Clients Value This Approach
• Former software founder perspective
• Deep understanding of revenue teams
• Focus on quality over volume
• Experience building real sales organizations
This allows me to operate more as a sales team advisor than a traditional recruiter.

Accounting Systems
An accounting system is a structured process or framework that businesses and organizations utilize to record, track, analyze, and report their financial transactions. It serves as a centralized hub for managing financial data, including income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and equity. The primary objective of an accounting system is to provide accurate, timely, and relevant financial information that supports decision-making, ensures compliance with regulations, and facilitates the efficient management of resources.
We help customers evaluate accounting systems for everyday operations, as well as tax and exemption software and the impacts tariffs have on both.
