I am a professional services marketing and business development leader with 20+ years of progressive experience in most aspects of integrated marketing, sales and sales management. But if you asked someone who knows me well professionally, they’d probably say I’m a connector and a relationship person.
I launched Lead Accelerators to meet what I’ve observed is an acute need for many businesses and organizations: an off-the-shelf, systematic approach to identifying and generating interest from potential buyers of a company’s services.
Based on my experience working with global, Blue Chip companies, one of the largest accounting and advisory firms in the world, as well as a range of mid-sized professional services practices, I have packaged a set of discreet service offerings that can be implemented individually, or in concert, depending on a client’s goals and available resources.
I’ve built a team of seasoned practitioners who bring additional skills in certain aspects of marketing and business development to compliment my experience.
We don’t preach from on high telling a client what they should do, leaving them with some whiz-bang strategy that only a consultant could understand; we roll-up our sleeves and work with clients to implement many of our recommendations, as an outsourced marketing and business development operation.
It’s not all that exciting, but those are some highlights I’m particularly proud of. When I’m not helping clients grow the organizations, I pursue my passions for music, golf and wine and my number one passion, learning things from my wife and young daughter.
