Rainmakers Global

(Privately Held; Management Consulting industry)

November 2006 — Present (1 year 9 months)

I founded Rainmakers Global to solve a specific business problem - the NEED for SPEED.

WHY??
Companies have the NEED for SPEED to blitz a market or opportunity and achieve expected ROI. Scalability and product launches demand rapid sales deployment.

Management has the NEED for SPEED when you're unwilling to miss your number, but traditional management methods won't deliver fast enough.

HOW???
We rapidly source sales teams Locally, Nationally, and Globally deploying SWAT teams and "Rolodexes". We disrupt current sales processes to deliver drastic sales uptrends and implement solutions to exceed even unrealistic team sales milestones.

EFFECTS??
CEOs & VP Sales - What effect would rapid sales ACCELERATION have on your bonus and career?
Investors - What effect would rapid sales ACCELERATION have on your portfolio, net worth, and reputation?

Rainmakers Global isn't the solution for every company...

But just how much is SPEED worth to your bottom line?
