More about Nick’s experience and approach ↗

Strong teams start with trust, clear expectations, and a leader who stays close to the work.

My career spans more than 13 years in B2B sales and leadership at WM and CSC ServiceWorks. I’ve helped sellers develop into leaders, strengthened commercial execution, and brought practical AI tools into the sales team’s day.

Six people who worked directly for me now lead sales teams of their own. That’s the kind of growth I want to help you build.

A few good questions

What does fractional
look like?

Clear responsibilities, a defined scope, and a leadership cadence that fits your business.

Who is this a good fit for?

Established B2B service, equipment, and multi-location businesses with paying customers and an existing sales team. A typical starting fit is three to fifteen sellers and an owner ready to support changes in how sales operates.

How is this different from a full-time VP?

You get senior leadership within an agreed part-time scope. The core engagement includes up to 32 delivery hours per 30-day billing period. All recurring leadership and coaching services can be terminated with 30 days’ written notice. Your team handles daily selling; I lead the agreed coaching, forecasting, and improvement work.

Can I hire you for one project?

Yes. Margin reviews, RFP support, commercial pro formas, account growth plans, sales enablement, and sales hiring support can be scoped as defined projects. We agree on deliverables, timing, data access, and fees before beginning. A project does not require an ongoing VP engagement.

Let’s start with your business

Where is sales
getting stuck?

Tell me a little about your team and what you want to change. We’ll arrange a 25-minute conversation to discuss whether coaching, ongoing leadership, or a sales intensive is a fit.
