I help agencies and client services teams level up their approach to sales and business development as a coach, consultant, and partner.Agency owners and sales leads are often self-taught, they don't know what they don't know, and learning from other playbooks is often massively helpful. Sound like you? That's where I come in.Through a brief diagnostic process I can determine where your time and effort are better invested in sales and make tactical recommendations for easy execution. From there I also offer ongoing coaching services through weekly office hours.Throughout my career I've focused on connecting people and opportunities, building communities, leading, and teaching.My company Clutch ("That Was Clutch" technically) helps teams improve and level up client services. We help teams grow audiences, deepen network affinity, and target the right partners. I believe sales works best when it is intentional, sincere, and sustainable.Special people are what make companies special, and I've been lucky enough to find opportunities to help truly special firms find and deliver great work. Some firms I support because of the singular vision and value of their leadership, some I support because they bring underrepresented communities to the table, mostly the firms I support do both.I've been an adjunct professor at Drexel University teaching Creative Concept Design. The class gives designers and developers the tools they need to think critically, develop better ideas, and work like a professional.I also give great high fives.Formerly I was the business development lead at Happy Cog, and then President. I founded PhilaMade to connect Philadelphia's creative community. I was a recruiter, a freelance illustrator, a marketing manager, a waiter, a babysitter, an SAT prep teacher, a 4th grade teaching assistant, a gallery monitor, a Barnes & Noble bookseller, and a cadet in Commander Mark's Imagination Station.My wife and I have three kids and two dogs, and we live just outside Philadelphia.You can talk with me about sales & business development, positioning, team building, the 76ers, Marvel movies, 80s/90s comics, Star Wars, illustration, Philadelphia, and coaching tee-ball.
