“Brian is every sales leader's dream rep! His relentless drive for greatness, fierce competitive edge, and unwavering ability to consistently crush quotas make him stand out among the top 1% of sales reps. No one can outwork him, and he masterfully becomes an expert in his field to excel at what he does best: value selling. I've learned far more from him than he has from me.”
