Client Testimonials

Coaching

Jason Swenk, Agency Mastery

Gene helped me become THE choice rather than just a choice in my market. Now I get paid more than any of my peers because my prospects see me as the expert.

(Jason went from no business to 7 figures in three years while working with Gene.)

Kim Discenza

I worked with Gene to boost revenues and improve overall company leadership. Our coaching focused on the leadership team to address any issues we had to improve company growth. In a short period of time, the company strategy shifted, improved focus on our clients, re-worked the marketing and sales of the organization, and improved “ownership” across the company. Kim shared, “What I am most proud is how our team has grown through working with you.”

Jason Swenk, Agency Mastery

Gene is a big part of my success in my business and life. Gene challenged me like no one ever, I have never looked back. I have been able to become an authority in my industry, generate more revenue than ever before, and even get paid to speak internationally. I owe Gene a lot in helping me be the leader I am today, which is the foundation of any business.

Mike Woeber - CEO of Corporate Tax Advisors (5-time Inc 5000 company)

The first year of working with Gene we almost doubled in revenue. I’d say it was a great return on investment. It’s been extremely valuable working with Gene.

Derek Hart - Get the Gigs

Sometimes what you really want is just for someone to give a damn. Gene cares so much and is so relentless when it comes to me reaching the goals I’ve set for my business that he feels like an official member of the team. Whenever I talk to Gene, I walk away knowing exactly what my next steps are. Gene’s good at a lot of things, but that clarity he brings is what I appreciate most about him.

Jan Bednar, Founder and CEO of ShipMonk

I didn’t think I needed to be a better leader. But once you go through anything, you realize there are so many gaps in your leadership skills that are really important to run a successful business. Gene’s a powerful coach.

Jan Bednar, Founder and CEO of ShipMonk ( Ranked #29 on the 2018 Inc 5000 list; 4-times honored on the Inc 5000)
Chris Ratterman CEO of Shady Rays (No 54 on the 2021 Inc 5000 list)

Gene learned the pulse of the company quickly and was able to add value very, very quickly. Improvement on the margins, speed, or just that experience that can make it 10 to 15 percent better is worth it in and of itself.

Chris Ratterman, CEO, Shady Rays (No 54 on the 2021 Inc 5000 list)
Ronald Dod

I knew I could grow my company, but not exactly sure how. I would not have created a $10 million + company without Gene. He helped me figure out how to stop wasting time and determine what was holding me back.

Favio Lopez - President Tridium

I wanted to thank you for the two-day deep dive. Those two days allowed me to focus on the things that I needed to do to help me continue to grow the company. I have immediately implemented what we discussed, and they are already paying off. Personally, I find that I am able to better focus, but more importantly, the team is appreciative of the steps that I have taken. The time, money and effort are well worth it. I expect that we will have another double-digit growth year, and it is because of your assistance in helping me better understand myself, my leadership and how I can show up differently.

Favio Lopez, COO of Trideum Corporation (6 x Inc 5000 List)
Mike Popowski

Mike worked with Gene for almost three years. He and Gene began re-defining the focus of the agency. Over the course of time, they focused on Executive Coaching that transformed many aspects of the business. Mike’s leadership became clearer and more courageous. The company is one of the top in Atlanta in terms of quality clients, attracting top talent, and fastest growth. #753 on the Inc 5000 (this is the 2nd year in row they have made it). We did some workshops and revamped his sales process to close bigger deals.

Chase Bowers

Chase wanted to create another company after Dropifed’s team made the 2019 Inc 5000 list. We identified the key shifts needed to have a “self-managed” team allowing him to focus on the new company. We started with a Deep Dive experience to shift his leadership to the next level. “Having Gene as my coach has helped to increase my confidence and be more intentional as a leader. Gene rocks.”

Chase Bowers, Co-founder of Dropified (1 x Inc 5000 List)
Saint Hung - CEO of Universal Processing (4-time Inc 5000 company)

If you need revenue, if you need growth, if you need to evolve, he will give you all of that and more. Gene is someone I can rely on to take us five times or ten times the revenue we were.

Saint Hung, CEO, Universal Processing (4-time Inc 5000 company)
Ron Dod - Co-founder of Visiture (5-time Inc 5000 company); Exited the company in 2021

Gene definitely helped me transition from those moments and really helped me grow as an individual. And he’s definitely exceeded my expectations or what I thought we have accomplished together.

Ron Dod, Co-founder of Visiture (5-time Inc 5000 company); Exited the company in 2021

Gene’s ‘ownership’ culture to deliver hypergrowth is something every sales leader needs to consider.
