Coach Dan says

“I am a skilled professional in marketing and selling to independent business owners or C-level executives. My goal is to excel at delivering world class results for my clients at every level. I have trained hundreds of salespeople from the largest broadcast and publishing media outlets to technology and generic sales arenas. I have taught sales at two major universities. My responsibilities have allowed me to travel extensively and establish contacts throughout North America, Canada, Central and South America, Scandinavia and Pacific Rim. I have developed new products, established new markets, built relationships and grown successful sales teams for aggressive, entrepreneurial companies experiencing rapid growth. My many years in broadcast sales and management established the building blocks for the inter-personal skills as well as the sales, negotiating, problem solving, strategic planning, marketing, public relations and creative, intangible concept selling skills and relationship selling skills for my continued success. It is my mission to help business executives and entrepreneurs alike to achieve a professional and personal level of success that they’ve only dreamt about.
