Sales coaching and GTM strategy for VC-backed startups from pre-seed to Series A
Dan did more than just advise from the sidelines - he joined customer calls, dug into our data, and gave us tactical feedback on our sales process and messaging
Working with Dan went beyond helping me get on top of best practices. He is a thought partner that helped me think through different accounts and prepare for each situation. It made a real difference in how I approach sales conversations
Dan’s mentorship helped us hire the right reps and avoid mistakes. I’d 100% recommend him to other early-stage founders.
Dan was exceptional in helping us stand up our B2B outbound sales function from scratch, including providing assistance with our first sales hire. Our company has been successful in diversifying our business from B2C only to B2B, and Dan was instrumental to that success.
A perfect fit for startups who are mastering founder-led sales
Thanks to Dan's work, both sales and marketing had clear v1 metrics and systems in place. This provided a solid baseline for me to take the reins and scale the operation into a fully formed GTM team as we transitioned from angel funding to Series A.
