Cory is a sales leader and builder of revenue engines, based in Toronto. In this discussion we talk about how he builds teams, what he looks for when hiring a candidate and how he uses empathy to build relationships that drive toward mutual success.

Cory is a serial entrepreneur, with a background in founding and building business ventures and that passion drives his success within the sales development arena. He has been a sales leadership consultant, working with startups to help them scale and grow their revenue engines. He has built up high performance sales team within high growth software vendors and does it in a way that draws on his background in philosophy and employs empathy as a driving emotion to build common goals and unity. 

I had  the pleasure of working with him on a placement and found him to be a charismatic and engaging candidate. Through no fault of his own he is on the market again and I am glad to help him share his thoughts on building and growing revenue engines and the process of creating a culture of success for a high growth company.
