Bio
Dan Caldwell
I had the good fortune of working with Callan at an inflection point in both of our careers, watching him firsthand grow and scale the sales team at Smart Harbor. He owned it; he studied best practices, implemented standards, and tested and learned his way to an optimized unit with high team sentiment, low turnover, and predictable results. There were high growth expectations, and he responded by investing more into his team's training and support, owning the responsibilities, and remaining laser-focused on the results. Callan is still my first call when I have questions about sales, account growth, and managing a team of high performers. Many of his sales team have since become sales leaders of companies, proving a testament to his leadership and acumen.

Callan was and will always continue to be one of the best mentors I've had. His constant pursuit for success equals his ability to lead a team to that same success. I had the pleasure of working as one of his direct teammates for over two years, and believe anything he sets his team to do-they will accomplish without question.
