We hired Keely as a sales consultant to help us build a more structured sales process. As a growing consulting, staffing, and training firm, we needed help laying the foundation for scaling, and Keely played a key role in getting us moving in the right direction. He helped us develop a solid framework, prioritize the right activities, and give us the push we needed to stop overthinking and start taking action. What I appreciated most was his attitude; he’s easy to work with, down to earth, and genuinely wants to help. Keely’s approach felt practical and tailored to where we were as a business. It wasn’t filled with fluff or theory, it was about doing the work and moving forward. I’d definitely recommend working with him if you're looking to start or tighten up your sales process and get real momentum.

Keely was immensely helpful in helping me organize my BD process and efforts. He did everything from providing me with the tools and resources to think through what I wanted an outreach cadence to look like, to helping me on the spot with client and prospective client conversations. He helped me have much more effective conversations with prospects such that I was qualifying business better on the front end, setting better expectations, and working on more fillable roles. Once we had generated $300k+ in pipeline, he moved into more day to day coaching of "how do I handle x or y." As a high performing former recruiter himself, his experience and knowledge was invaluable for me in equipping me to have the tough conversations associated with this job. I can't recommend working with Keely enough!! He helped me generate leads, win better clients, develop my client relationships, and make more placements. Everything you could ask for in a coach!

Keely was fantastic to work with overall. I've worked with him for several months. My only regret is not putting forth the money to work with Keely sooner. Not only does he give astounding feedback, he works with you as a partner to help scale your book of business and personal growth. Keely has been able to mentor me working as a full desk recruiter at a large national firm, before helping encourage the idea of starting my own. Since, Keely has been always consistent of giving critical feedback and suggestive ways to improve business development and client relationships. Prior to meeting with Keely, I had minimal structure. He offered different strategies to help scale and be more knowledageable and an industry expert.

Before working with Keely, we had no clear niche and struggled to focus our business development efforts. His expertise helped us define our niche, implement a solid business development strategy, and align our approach with market demands. The results speak for themselves—since partnering with Keely, we’ve confidently signed seven new contracts and established a stronger presence in our target industries. His unique perspective, strategic guidance, and dedication to our success have been transformative. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking to grow and refine their business!

"Working with Keely has been a game-changer for me. Not only has he taught me the fundamentals of business development, like defining my ideal client profiles (ICPs), but I’ve also gained invaluable insights into systems, AI, and streamlining operations through his coaching. His approachable style makes it easy to ask even the smallest questions without hesitation. I genuinely look forward to both our group sessions and 1:1 coaching. Since joining, I feel more energized and confident. In just a few months, I’ve spoken at two conferences, created impactful LinkedIn content, and gained a clear understanding of how branding and content can drive sales. Thanks to Keely, I'm no longer intimidated by business development. I’m motivated, confident, and excited about the future of my business!"
