Actionable Advice to improve sales and leads! No fluff, if you have a product business that fits broad parameters, I can help you increase your sales through both free, and paid marketing tips that you probably already have access to. I've personally used this approach as CEO of Wholesale Steel where 48% of our monthly sales (which is about $507) come from! Take a closer look at my qualifications: - Served as VP of Operations for a $92mm revenue-generating company. I was later promoted to Head of Corporate Development where I led the M&A strategy for the firm. - Syndicated an acquisition of a $7.5mm revenue-generating healthcare startup. Served as the Chief Operating Officer and one of 7 Board Members. Exited one year later after an acquisition took place. - Contracted as a consultant for a steel business that did $6.85mm in sales in 2019. The firm was on pace to do about $2mm in sales in 2020 due to the pandemic. The Board elected me to the CEO position where I helped turn the company around in 2021 back to profitability. We just had our best month of 2022 with $570k in sales finishing out our best quarter since 2019. We are on pace to return to 2019 revenue standards despite major supply chain issues and fuel prices caused by Macroeconomic pressures. - Other notable accomplishments include: 1. Serving as a Consultant on a $625mm Private Equity LBO in 2019 2. Facilitating a $2mm Merchant Advance from American Express for my firm in 2018 3. Facilitating a $30mm secured debt financing for the fastest growing startup in Austin where I served as a consultant and close personal advisor to the Chairman of the Board 4. Facilitating a revolving Debit Balance Financing contract with Insurety Capital 5. Facilitating a +$600k loan for my firm in 2020 6. Facilitating a $200k bridge loan for my firm in 2021 7. Facilitated an All Stock Acquisition of a multi-million dollar firm in 2019 8. Facilitated a multi-million dollar spin-off of two divisions of my firm in 2022
