What Blaine does

Blaine has spent his entire career as a "rainmaker" in both sales and business development. He specializes in helping companies acquire more customers/partners, retain them, build greater loyalty and create lasting differentiation in the market. He has "worked for" and "consulted with" organizations from start-ups to Fortune 50, including the Big 5 and other industries (telecommunications, professional services, software/technology, financial services, manufacturing/distribution and education). In every organization he has been successful at increasing sales, retaining more customers and exceeding results.

Blaine is a creator and builder. He has always been brought in to either create new revenue or build significant growth - all while delivering a truly unique and differentiated customer experience. He offers the most value by being part of a team of professionals that are results driven and thrives on beating the competition and being a leader in their space. His goal is to leverage his background in sales/business development, business/customer consulting and leadership to help drive more revenue and differentiation - yielding a unique competitive advantage.

Blaine's goal is to be a direct contributor or leader in an organization that needs help with increasing revenues, growth and wants to achieve market leadership. The ideal organization can take advantage of his deep experience in sales/business development and my leading edge work in customer retention/loyalty to create a significant competitive advantage and dominate their market.

As the co-author of the book, "Creating and Delivering Totally Awesome Customer Experiences," he has developed very unique and creative methodolgies for helping organizations create more success through using the resources they have, simply by adding knowledge and tools to helping them get there. He achieves this by helping them understand the "Promises" their constituents want them to make and keep and then build the roadmap of how to deliver on these Promises - execution.

He is a "Thought Leaders" in this area and is recognized as one of the authorities on how to create and link the customer and employee experience to corporate strategy and Loyalty. Simply put, he helps organizations to provide exactly what their constituents want and generate greater sales and differentiation.

What Blaine does best

Simple, I help organizations increase SALES, create true and lasting DIFFERENTIATION and build unbelievable CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES - all leading to giving any company I work for a stronger Competitive Advantage.

What does Blaine need?

I am looking for a company to work with or for that wants to dramatically increase sales and their differentiation in the market. This could be a company needing a "turn around," a boost in the sales, or looking to find a way to dominate their competition.

If anyone knows of a company, regardless of size or industry, in one of these situations, I would love to talk to them and see if I can help.
