Bio
M. Shane Smith, CDMP
We recently invited Leary to speak to the executives at the Minnesota Manufacturing Network. C-executives and their key leadership teams saying they don't have time to focus on strategic planning today, should hear from Leary. He is inspiring and by the end of your meeting you'll know if you're waiting for bluebirds, buzzards or want to really change. It starts with a willingness to have a new or altered vision and then the courage to change. Followed by effective strategic thinking. Reach out to him and start a conversation.
Ron Noden
Wow, Leary is the goods! Leary brings an incisive edge to everything he does. He is brilliant on market identification and in helping organizations develop leadership, marketing and sales approaches to building the business. I view Leary as the first building block in developing a long-term strategy to business growth. His wisdom on marketing, digital marketing, and client-centric business approaches has been incredibly valuable to me.
Sue W. Thomas
Leary did a great job facilitating a sales strategy and process improvement project for my sales team. He was able to bring consensus and illuminate a path for growth.

We accelerate the complex sale through digital strategies and execution. Any product or service can become a complex sale when its purchase decision must be made by multiple stakeholders. Usually, this is because your offering has broad organizational impact. But it can also occur when the complexity of the problem and level of risk is high. In either case, alignment between stakeholders becomes the driving factor—and also the reason for long sales cycle times. We accelerate the complex sales process by creating digital strategies and experiences to form buyer alignment through targeted campaigns and thought leadership. coefficientdigital.com
