Our Story
We are educators. We are mentors. We are coaches.
Our Inspiration
We have helped businesses create scalable revenue engines for years. But once the processes are in place and the company is growing, finding the sales talent to accelerate their trajectory is an unforeseen challenge — especially those hardest positions to successfully fill: SDRs.
Our Purpose
Recruiting, training, and retaining top SDR talent is a challenging experience we became determined to solve. Instead of exhausting ourselves attempting to find the talent we needed, we decided to build it. We created the curriculum, and worked with our partners to perfect the program.
Our Results
After years of successful placements, our unique combination of workshop and “on-the-job” training has proved to be a game changer for our hiring partners, drastically reducing time to hire, time to full productivity, and churn, helping companies reach their goals faster than they projected.
