KD believes in focusing on the "person" in "salesperson." As he's grown as a leader, KD has a better understanding of what truly drives behavior, motivation, and long term success. If he can make better people, the sales will follow. KD loves scaling sales teams - he's built teams from 0-150+ reps and revenues from 0-100M+ ARR (and counting). KD believes in processes and systems, paired with skill development, as the code to success. He consults all sorts of different companies and people as they look to improve their results, and mentors and consults early, mid, and late-stage SaaS companies all across the world. KD has spoken at top conferences across the country, mentors/coaches start up's across the country, and loves sharing as he goes. If there is a book on sales, psychology, or influence KD has probably read it. He is a voracious learner and is constantly pushing himself and his team to reach new heights of achievement. Because of KD's own internal desire to learn and grow, that also gets translated out to his team with non-stop growth, coaching, and training.
