In 2007 Shawn gave up his quest for the perfect golf game because he discovered, as he terms it, a system that liberates Sales Warriors (aka Conversation Pigs) by providing so many conversations with decision makers so efficiently that it removes all excuses for non-performance and brings smiles to the usually harried faces of VP of Sales and CMOs. Prior to connecting the dots at ConnectAndSell, Shawn’s early successes included selling encyclopedias door to door in the Michigan winter and building both code and company for the world’s first mainframe storage system, earning him the nickname ‘the father of storage.’ Thirty years ago, Shawn snubbed his nose at Big Blue and built a wildly successful technology company in their wake. Today, he brings his pioneer spirit to the leadership team of ConnectAndSell.
