Brad Kleiner — Founder & Principal Consultant
I'm passionate about helping businesses and entrepreneurs.
It's hard to lead the charge and hold the big picture at the same time — building systems, processes, and relationships on the fly, then stepping back to judge them for efficiency, vision, and equity. That's what I love to do. I've been there, and I have the knowledge and experience to help you reach your goals — the way I've helped so many others.

In their words
Brad, you rock. So glad to have connected with you… I can say with proof, your training has doubled my income. Twice. Wow, that's pretty cool to realize. Thank you is an understatement.
I have learned so much in such a short period of time. Overall it gave us the confidence in sales and improved our #1 reason for sales — higher dollar amounts with a better close ratio.
Brad helped me feel like an equal with potential clients.

Frequently asked questions
My philosophy is sharing best practices in hiring, sales, management, onboarding, teambuilding, and business strategy for prospecting and networking. It can be so hard to think outside of the box when you are in the box yourself — the box of others' expectations, the box of 'salesperson' or 'manager,' and the box of our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. It can be hard to see your own blind spots. Having a coach to help you develop, stretch, and grow has the same power as a sports coach — we have the experience, the background, the connections, and the big-picture view to help you take the next steps in your career or business. You don't know what you don't know. That's what we're here for.
If you're asking, you probably need it, to be honest! No one is perfect, and everyone has one or two areas to improve — and so does every business.
Ongoing coaching is exactly what I do — for executives, salespeople, entrepreneurs, and teams, as well as the systems they use, their hiring processes, and their culture.
Nope. We work with anyone who wants to improve — whether it's 1 person or 1,000. There's always room for improvement!
I can work with a single person, a single executive, teams, or entire companies. If you have one or two people who want to go beyond tricks and quick fixes, or if your whole team needs to get on the same page — we do it all.
