Dedicated to mastery.
Built for operations.
I've always been obsessed with understanding how things actually work. And then making them work better.
It started on the tools. I spent four years as a qualified electrician. Not just pulling cable, but mastering complex industrial systems. Manufacturing plants. Solar farms. High-voltage infrastructure. I was the guy they called at 1am when the largest facility in town had a fault and nobody else could diagnose it.
That work taught me something that shapes everything I do today: complex problems have systematic solutions. You don't guess. You don't hope. You diagnose, you measure, you fix. Every fault has a root cause. Every system can be understood.
But I knew I had more to give. So I made the jump into high ticket sales.
I didn't just want to be good. I wanted to master it.
While other reps winged their calls and hoped for the best, I built systems. I tracked every metric obsessively. I studied the psychology of decision-making. I recorded calls, reviewed them, iterated. I treated sales like a craft to be perfected, not a job to be done.
The result? $5M+ in closed revenue. $56K in commissions in a single month. I worked inside some of the largest info product offers in the world. Businesses doing multiple millions per month.
The deeper truth I discovered
Somewhere along the way, I realized something that changed everything:
Business, especially sales, is just personal development with a scoreboard.
The same traits that make someone dangerous in sales, discipline, emotional regulation, resilience under pressure, the ability to perform when it's uncomfortable, are forged outside of work.
That's why I run ultras. That's why I hunt.
When you're 60 kilometers into a mountain race with 40 more to go, there's no faking it. When you're tracking through the bush before dawn, every sense heightened, patience stretched to its limit, you learn things about yourself that no book can teach.
The lessons transfer directly:
Discomfort is data, not a signal to quit. In an ultra, the pain at kilometer 50 doesn't mean stop. It means manage. Same on a sales call when an objection lands hard.
Preparation beats talent. The hunter who scouts, studies patterns, and shows up ready beats the one who just hopes for luck. Sales is identical.
You perform at the level of your systems. In ultrarunning, it's nutrition, pacing, gear. In sales, it's process, tracking, review cadence. The person with better systems wins over the long run. Always.
"You don't rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."
I don't do hard things because I'm trying to be impressive. I do them because mastery in one domain creates mastery in all domains. The discipline compounds. The mental toughness transfers. The obsession with getting 1% better every day? That's not something you turn off when you clock out.
Why I stopped just closing
Here's what frustrated me as a closer:
I had a system. I tracked everything. I was a machine. But the team around me? Chaos.
Nobody tracked anything. Team trainings were random. We'd roleplay objection handling when the team-wide show rate was 30%. There was zero understanding of data, zero visibility into what was actually broken.
I kept thinking: if the operation was dialed, everyone would win.
So I stopped just closing. I started building the systems I wished existed. I trained reps. Built dashboards. Created SOPs. Ran reviews. Implemented the same diagnostic thinking I'd used as an electrician: find the constraint, measure it, fix it, verify.
Now I build the systems that let founders step out and scale up.
The Pattern That Breaks Every Sales Team
I watched this happen at a $300K/month offer. Twice. At two different companies.
Here's what happens:
Founder builds an offer that actually changes lives. Sales start coming in. They hire closers. One closer stands out. A rockstar. Revenue climbs. Founder thinks: "This guy gets it. Let's make him the manager."
Within 60 days, everything falls apart.
Show rates drop to 30%. Reps are confused. The "training" is just the new manager trying to teach people to close like him. Except he can't explain what he actually does. He just... does it. There's no system. No process. No data. Just vibes and chaos.
The founder ends up back on sales calls. The team is bleeding. And a business that should be printing money is barely breaking even.
That's when I realized: this isn't a talent problem. It's an operations problem.
Closing skills don't translate to operating skills
The skills that make someone a great closer, instinct, adaptability, reading the room, are completely different from the skills that build scalable operations.
When you promote your best closer to manager, you lose your best closer AND you don't gain a real operator.
That's why most sales teams stay stuck.
- Instinct & intuition
- Reading the room
- Handling objections
- Individual performance
- System design
- Data & metrics
- Process documentation
- Team development
Your Rockstar is Your Biggest Risk
Most founders worship their top performer. The rockstar closer who carries the team.
But that rockstar is your biggest liability.
They're uncoachable. They can't explain what they do. And the moment they leave, or get poached, revenue craters. Meanwhile, you've built nothing. No system. No documentation. No way to replicate what they did.
Systems make average reps dangerous. Talent without systems is a ticking time bomb.
You don't need more rockstars. You need a machine that doesn't depend on them.
Why I Built Spire
I've seen what happens when founders build something incredible, something that genuinely changes lives, but don't know how to run the machine.
They traded one prison for another.
They left their job to get freedom. And now they're chained to a business that drags them down. Stuck on sales calls. Firefighting every day. Watching revenue swing wildly because there's no system holding it together.
That's not what they signed up for.
I built Spire Consulting to fix that.
We install the sales operations infrastructure that lets founders step out of the sales seat and stay out. Predictable revenue. Scalable systems. A team that runs without you on every call.
14 day diagnosis. 60 day install. Ongoing optimization.
No more guessing. No more chaos. Just a machine that works.
What I Believe
Most sales teams fail because of operations, not talent.
You don't have a hiring problem. You have a system problem.
You don't need more closers.
You need systems that make average reps dangerous.
The constraint is rarely "more leads."
It's that the machine leaks everywhere.
Mastery transfers.
The discipline you build doing hard things compounds into everything else.
The Mission
Revenue isn't magic. It's systems, installed properly.
