FOUNDER · WISE REVENUE CO.

I run the
floor.

Operator first. I've spent a decade running inside sales floors in home services. Scaled one from $3M to $42M, then built Wise Revenue Co. so the next operator does not have to.

The Story

The arc, in plain English.

I picked up the phone for the first time at a solar company in 2015. The script was a page long, the call list was warm, and I had no idea I was starting a decade-long career in one of the most operational categories in selling.

I moved through every role on an inside sales floor. Setter. Closer. Manager. Director. VP. The first inflection point was at PetersenDean, where I got promoted to lead a live-chat inside sales team that no other solar operator had successfully run at scale at the time. That is when I realized inside sales was a real operational discipline, not a starter job people grow out of.

Infinity Energy is where the playbook got built. Three promotions in three years from manager to VP. Comp plans, scripts, coaching cadence, dashboards, every system field-tested in production while we scaled the org from $3M to $42M. By the end I knew the inside of an inside sales floor better than I knew anything else.

Then I co-founded an independent solar company. The founder side teaches a different math: payroll, compliance, project completion, capital. Margins look different when you are the one signing the checks. I ran sales, ops, and direction for two years and learned what operator actually means.

I went back to the floor at Semper Solaris to rebuild their inside sales engine end to end. Eleven months from start to material lift across every funnel metric. By the time I left, the playbook was complete and battle-tested across five very different operators.

Wise Revenue Co. is the company I would have hired in 2018, in 2021, and in 2023, if it had existed. The same gap kept showing up across every operator I worked for: they all wanted to own their pipeline, but none of them wanted to be the one running the call center to do it. So I built the company that does it for them.

Career

Every seat in an inside sales org.

Six roles. A decade. One category. From the rep on the phone to the VP who owns the number to the founder running it for everyone else.

Principles

What I believe about running a floor.

Earned, not theoretical. The things I would say across the table to another VP at the end of a long day.

No. 01

Be a normal person on the phone. People want to be treated like people, not prospects.

No. 02

The moment a homeowner feels sold to is the moment they stop making a purchasing decision and start defending against one.

No. 03

Cost per sit is the only number that matters in outbound. Everything else is downstream.

No. 04

You cannot outsource the operation and keep the asset. Either own the floor or rent it.

No. 05

The phone is still the highest-ROI channel for high-ticket home services. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling something else.

No. 06

Speed to lead is the price of admission. A five-minute response beats a thirty-minute response by 21x in qualification rate, and 78% of home services jobs go to the first contractor who reaches the lead.

No. 07

Hire setters slow. Fire fast. Coach the bottom twenty percent out monthly.

No. 08

AI does not replace agents. It replaces the eighty percent of agent time spent on dead activity.

No. 09

The closer is downstream of the setter, the script, the data, and the dial discipline. Most operators try to fix the closer first. The closer should be the last thing you fix.

No. 10

Operational KPIs are daily. Performance KPIs are weekly. Financial KPIs are monthly. The number you pull weekly is the number you will actually move.

No. 11

Founders running their own sales floor is the failure mode that kills home services companies between $10M and $30M.

No. 12

Sundays are off. The operators who burn out at thirty-five owned every Sunday in their thirties.

Husband and dad first. Operator second.

The work matters. It does not matter more than the people I am doing it for. That ordering is non-negotiable, and it shapes how Wise Revenue Co. is built.
