We believe

We are different. We are behavioral scientists, executives, business owners, teachers, and coaches and we put tremendous emphasis on the human elements of revenue generation.
We believe that social and emotional intelligence are more important than industry experience or years of selling experience. We believe in urgency balanced with a long-term outlook. We know that people who feel safe, nurtured, respected, and loved will knock down walls for teammates and give tremendous effort. We love neuroplasticity and believe old and young dogs can learn new tricks.
We believe that the most important predictor of success is hunger and the best feedback we can receive or give is the kind that hurts a little bit. We believe in rigorous honesty. We believe that work should be fun, always, even when we lose – because we know that setbacks are short-term and provide invaluable experience.
