Cody Candee, Founder & CEO - Bounce
“Pete is an outstanding Sales Advisor. He has seen Sales Orgs from the earliest stages of companies and all the way until IPO. He understands different stages of sales teams have different needs, and he has the ability to add polish to strategic direction and polish to sales pitches with time-tested tactics that he has seen work at many places before. Pete has now worked with so many sales folks that it's really helpful to connect the dots from different playbooks and help us run even faster at Bounce.
He is a rare breed of an executive who's high-level, strategic, and willing to try out new areas. Pete helped us figure out our enterprise strategy and closed one of the biggest hotel groups in the world for us. I think that is the rare part of Pete - his ability to do both the grind and the high-level strategy. 10 out of 10 recommendation for Pete. I am so thankful for everything he has done for Bounce.”
Mani Kulasooriya, Co-Founder & CEO - Cut+Dry
“If you are a technology startup looking to create or scale a sales organization, you better call (Saul) Pete. He was instrumental in getting our sales organization off the ground. Everything from - org structure, interview and hiring process, incentive structure, sales training, 1:1 mentoring, and things that we just did not know we needed.
Pete was effectively a fractional VP of Sales for our organization. Once the sales org started operating somewhat independently, Pete also assisted in getting our customer success team up and running, as well as a few new revenue-driving features in the product. As Co-founder and CEO, I met with Pete several times a week and relied on his support a great deal. It is my pleasure to continue to work with him.”
Walker Drewett, Founder & CEO - NuBrakes
“Pete delivered immediate impact and results to our sales team. As CEO, Pete consistently and naturally instilled confidence into me that we had a clear plan of action, we measured progress frequently, and that we remained nimble enough to alter our plan as time went on. I particularly appreciate Pete's willingness to strategize at the 10,000-foot level but an equal willingness to get into the weeds. I'll be working with Pete again as we continue to build and grow our team."
Ryan Axt, Enterprise Sales - Wiz
“Pete’s years of experience working with all kinds of businesses and leaders allow him to easily adapt to any setting and add value to a wide variety of business challenges. His creativity and curiosity always added tremendous value, but it was his work ethic and willingness to get his hands dirty that really stood out to me.”
Erica Galos Alioto, Chief People Officer - Grammarly
“ Pete is one of the strongest and most inspirational sales leaders I know. He has a unique ability to teach others in a way that is motivating, engaging, and effective. He has a solid track record of working with managers of all levels and turning them into top sales leaders. People are ready to run through walls after a training session with Pete.”
Leon Dong, VP of Operations - Found
“As an operations leader overseeing a Sales function for the first time, Pete was an indispensable ally to have in my corner. He partnered with us to build a 3-month strategy and worked directly with our Sales leader for ground-level weekly execution. If you're an early-stage company with Sales as a business-critical function, you can't go wrong working with Pete.”
Kayti Sullivan, CRO - Flyhomes
“Having worked with Pete for nearly a decade, I saw the tremendous positive influence he had on leaders around him. They say the true mark of a great leader is someone who leaves a trail of leaders in their path; by that standard, Pete is world-class.”
Roger Benson, SVP of Sales - Sinch
“Pete's practical and authentic approach to sales and leadership has served as a strong framework for my management style through the years. Pete taught me a mindset that has stayed with me through many years of career growth. I’ve continued to seek guidance from Pete as his playbook translates well across industries and segments.”
Robert Weigel, Head of Sales - Bounce
“Pete's mentorship and advice couldn’t have come at a better time. In the past year, I was pushed into countless uncomfortable situations that demanded me to grow as an individual, teammate, and sales leader. Pete's coaching helped me through all of those moments and has been instrumental in helping me reach the position I am in now.”
Mike Sene, VP of Sales - Deliverr/Shopify
“I attribute much of my professional success to Pete's training. His impact on my development as a sales leader not only made me a top-performing sales manager but also taught me skills I use today to manage directors and managers, including accountability, prioritizing your days/weeks, providing tangible feedback, and leading with compassion.”
