As both my direct and indirect leader, John successfully cultivated an engaging, inspiring sales culture. Through healthy competition and continual learning he was able to pull out the best from everyone in his group. I learned a lot about how to build buy-in from my teams through coaching and ideas John provided over the years. I believe one of John’s biggest assets is his ability to correctly assess a person’s strengths and place them in the perfect position to exponentially multiply their output.
