I work with product managers - and their businesses - who want to make more impact, be more amazing, and live up to their unicorn nature. I hate the status quo and conventional wisdom - how's that been workin' out for ya anyway, right? - and help my clients bust out of their straitjackets, connect the dots, and actualize their full potential.WHAT I DO: Through individual and group coaching, my podcast and book, workshops, and online courses, I help product managers and product management teams become more effective and generate more revenue. One specialty is helping enterprise software companies who are struggling with making quota to ensure the sales team has the product knowledge and sales enablement they need to be successful - and to start hitting their sales quotas! WHY IT WORKS: When the sales team doesn’t have the right product knowledge they can’t be successful. My experience enables me to quickly articulate the true value proposition, define the right prospects to market to, create excellent qualifying questions and objection handling scripts, and increase the effectiveness of your product demo.
