Golf and sales have more in common than you think.??? The best players don’t just hit shots—they think their way around the course. When I first learned golf, I aimed straight for the flag on every approach shot. It seemed like the best strategy—until I kept landing in bunkers, the rough, or leaving myself impossible putts. One day, a more experienced golfer gave me advice that changed everything: "The key to success in golf and life is managing your misses." Instead of chasing the perfect shot, I started playing smart—aiming for the middle of the green, taking safer angles, and thinking my way around the course. My scores improved, and the game became a lot more enjoyable. Sales works the same way.?Sometimes, going straight to an executive works, but more often, the smarter play is building relationships with their team first—understanding their challenges, adding value, and establishing credibility. By the time you reach the decision-maker, you’re not just another seller—you’re a trusted partner. Sales, like golf, isn’t about perfection. It’s about positioning yourself for success.??? Where have you found success by thinking your way through an opportunity???? #SalesStrategy #Golf #SmartSelling #BuildRelationships #SalesSuccess

"For the inner sales child in all of us." I didn’t write Inner Sales Child to teach you how to sell—I wrote it to help you remember that you already know how. Before the noise, before the doubt, before life told you to follow a script. This book is personal. It’s full of stories from my childhood and the lessons that shaped how I see sales today. My hope? That it helps you find your own way—one that feels natural, not forced. Grab your copy on Amazon and take the first step toward selling with confidence, clarity, and a little bit of nostalgia. ??? #InnerSalesChild #AuthenticSelling #SalesJourney

???Exciting news—Blue Derby is here! If you’ve ever felt like sales success meant trying to be someone you’re not, I get it. I’ve been there. Early in my career, I chased every “proven” script and tactic I could find. The problem? None of it felt like me. When I finally leaned into my own style, strengths, and personality, sales became easier, more natural, and far more successful. That belief led me to write Inner Sales Child (link below)—and now, I’m taking the next step in that journey with Blue Derby. ???What is Blue Derby? Simply put, it’s about helping salespeople and teams win by being themselves. No scripts. No shortcuts. Just real sales strategies that actually work—and feel right for YOU.
