"42Chat gained strong traction in its first 3-years. The Covid-19 outbreak highlighted the need to improve our GTM and sales processes across our verticals. Our CMO introduced me to Mike as an expert in revenue generation through high performing sales teams. An initial 3-month agreement turned into a year-and-a-half relationship to implement world class revenue generation best practices, resulting in record quarter over quarter, and year over year, triple digit sales growth. Mike introduced and implemented new sales approaches and concepts to create predictable, repeatable revenue streams and was instrumental in gaining sales team buy-in. I highly recommend working with Mike." - Chuck Elias, CEO

"As I’m reflecting on our difficult year at Project Alianza, I can’t help but acknowledge all Mike did to help us develop a sustainable business model to get us through economic lows. He taught me to think outside of the box with my fundraising efforts and to reach across the aisle to work across industries. Thanks to him, our funders are more diverse than ever. He’s made me a stronger leader and has a reputation of showing up no matter what — he’s one of my go-tos when I’m facing any new challenge or needing an extra push." - Kristin Van Busum, CEO

"Mike Schumann’s name was brought up when we wanted to add operational structure, rigor, and accountability to our sales processes in order to support our growth targets. Mike got us thinking about sales differently and introduced sales modeling allowing the entire GTM team to rally around specific goals while having accurate and valid monitoring so we can track our progress against them, helping us remove ambiguity from our sales cycles. The result has been a most recent increase in revenue and a January that has us well ahead of our Q1 goal. Mike has certainly made a difference and we look forward to working with him again in the future." - Matthew Kleiman, CEO

"Sales is the lifeblood of any business. As CEO, I could not tell if we had an optimized sales force and strategy. A trusted advisor recommended an A+ player to give me answers. When Michael Schumann came in, he told me exactly what he was going to do and what I was going to get out of it. Turns out I got a lot more. After identifying gaps that could make a real difference, Michael went on to second phase of his engagement to close those gaps. His impact was immediate and palpable. He provided visibility to important KPIs, raised team expectations, and completely took over our revenue operations. Soon we were gaining real insight into our future performance. When we began negotiating our acquisition transaction, Michael kept the sales machine rolling with greater visibility into our revenue stream. This allowed me to focus on the sale of the company. My only regret is not having him on board earlier." - Gant Redmon, CEO

Mike instantly shared my aspiration for a North American entity and through his leadership, drive and tenacity we quickly managed to turn that vision into a reality.Mike’s professional sales skills coupled with his ambition allowed us to establish and grow a customer base in a region where we previously had no track record, this success I firmly attribute to Mike." - Jeremy Ellis, CEO

As the first sales hire I built the foundation of the sales team (BDRs and AEs) building revenue from $0 to $1M in ARR within 18 months and $2M in ARR within the next 6 months. With our rapid growth (in the top 2.5% of SaaS companies ever founded) a new VP of Sales with experience building $15M sales organizations was brought on board. I ensured a dramaless transition moving into a role focused on delivering revenue and managing a small team."There is no doubt Mike Schumann was the reason our company sealed the deal as Salsify’s first major CPG account in 2014. Mike is a hands-on leader with in-depth knowledge of what he is selling. During our discovery process, Mike jumped through every hoop we presented in order to provide us with a clear vision of the future. He is smart, funny, and fast on his feet. Mike’s authenticity sets him apart from other Sales Executives because he believes in every ounce of what he sells. Mike’s diligence not only helped set the foundation for what soon became a booming business for Salsify, but his kindness and compassion towards others is what makes someone like Mike a memorable contributor throughout a career." - Kacy Fabie, Global Digital Manager, Mars
