Don’s been great in this regard; there is no difference between what he says and what he does. Quite refreshing as a purveyor of marketing science! I have enjoyed how he meaningfully manages the funnel, and teach all he touches the same process. It’s not easy, but it’s good.

Don always seems to go above and beyond the call of duty and manages to bring value to every part of an organization that he touches. His dynamic background, coupled with a sharp eye for detail and opportunity, combine to bring a uniquely powerful package.. In short, Don is worth his weight in gold to any organization that is lucky enough to engage him!

I look forward to digesting them further and figuring out how to incorporate them to drive our organization forward.

Although engaged specifically to streamline and refine our communications and workflow systems, Don approached the relationship as a stakeholder might and he became more of a strategic consultant – and his work was simply world-class.

Don is one of those people who not only professionally but also personally motivates you . I have had the opportunity to work with Don as a Sales Coach at InDev Capital in our company in the last 3 or 4 years. He has been instrumental in improving our investment banking business’ relationship with our investors.
Don is not only smart but a person full of courage and passion for adventure . A good coach preaches with his own example more than speaking and Don exemplified every day , not only to his clients but also with his own family.
And he has proved it by sending amazing photos of his adorable children in the snowy mountains of Colorado! His family approaches life with the same energy and focus he encourages us to take with our business.
Don is incredibly good at what he does, a great visionary strategies sales and technical communication systems. He will inspire you!

Don is an extremely energetic leader and mentor, he channels his energy through minimalist problem-solving and focused purpose. Don drives all those he comes in contact with to continuously find and redefine purpose in their life and work; he motivates those around him to knock down walls of unnecessary protocol to quickly turn around milestones.

I’ve worked with Don on various projects over the past 6 years and in that timeline he has shared his seemingly infinite wisdom with me personally and with members of our organization that has enabled us to grow. Don has an innate ability to turn ideas into actions and to help others do the same.
Most recently, we brought him in to an executive level role within our business transformation process. Don is easily the most gifted individual I’ve ever met pertaining to talent evaluation, business systems and process creation and refinement. As such, Don continues to play a pivotal role within our organizations to this day and the value he brings is immeasurable.

His ability to maintain lasting and meaningful relationships with past clients, friends and employees speaks volumes about his character. I enjoy working with Don and look forward to what the future brings.
JP Novak
Don changed my life. He brought me a business road map for success when I hired him as my business coach over a year ago. A chronological plan with milestones and deliverables that needed to be completed to achieve the desired result, which was a business that was lean, profitable, efficient and free of drama. He said my business would be boring if we were able to execute the plan well. Sure enough earlier this year on a call with Don I told him I was bored and ready for more entrepreneurial activities. That’s the big picture benefit of working with Don. He will get you to the goal.
More importantly on a daily basis he was willing to roll up his sleeves and join the collaborative efforts with our team to solve problems, implement new systems and get things done. I had told Don I didn’t need another consultant to tell me what to do, I needed a coach who would jump into the mix with me and take responsibility to get things done. Don did that and more.
I owe much of the success of 512 Solar to Don’s strategic leadership and his tactical execution. He drove me towards the goal even when I couldn’t see the forest through the trees. Don has always demonstrated himself to be trustworthy and is willing to have the difficult conversations to make sure we are always on the same page. I give Don my complete endorsement and believe he has the knowledge, skill and experience to help any business owner or executive win in their respective fields.
Larry DeRamus
Don is an incredible mind and unique thought-partner. In retrospect, partnering with him during an important transition time in my business was one of the best investments I’ve made. His ability to help you cull the weeds from what’s truly important is absolutely unparalleled. He helped me separate myself from my peers early in the game with his understanding of tools and technology. He has truly earned the title ….Trusted Advisor. Thanks Don!!
Chris Kemp
Don helped our business development team select the right CRM and implement effective processes which helped us improve our sales efficiency. He was very organized in helping implement these processes and very prompt in resolving any issues we had during the transition.

Don is a trusted resource and I think he is extremely compassionate and smart. Don’s “big thinking” mindset makes him an awesome business coach.
I value Don’s deep respect for ethics and the way he creates goals that are specifically tailored for his clients’ nature and abilities.
Ellen Newhouse
Are you really ready to make changes and step up your game? Then hire Don! Don will challenge you to really own what you want and then the two of you will get busy creating a plan to get there! And…..before you even get started, he’ll have you take a “test” that gives you a clear evaluation of your true strengths…..this was so helpful for me. I come back to this knowledge again and again…..thanks Don for all of your help and guidance! I look forward to working together again in the future!

I still get compliments on how “together” and professional I am. Thanks Don!
Zerrick Bynum
Don has a great approach to developing long-term (versus transactional) relationships. He freely provides valuable info at the onset in exploring different opportunities to work together. In our iintro call, he was very helpful in enlightening me about the marketing automation space, sharing key insights on the pros & cons of various software providers in the space. And he also is very personable, sharing some of his & his families personal experiences.
In summary, he is an easy call to make or take to explore opportunities.
Pablo Vicente Legazpi
I have known Don and his family since many years ago, and time is the measure of a good friendship. For years I have met many good professional of the software business, and some of them (not many) I can say that are more than colleagues.
Don has a treasury called Sonya, and of course many human skills. One of these skills is the ability to get people enthusiastic with a project. As he did with me and Alibre. He has an open view, mentality of businessman but a good technician.

He is the man to get you there as long as you are open to learning, willing to act, and couragous enough to think outside of your box.
I’m forever grateful for Don and the influence he has had on my life and for that, I say ‘THANK YOU’.
Whitney Hagen
Don is an inspiring person to work with. Don is the definition of efficient and does not like to spend unnecessary time when he could be proactively improving inefficiencies.
I met Don and his wife in a non-work-related environment and was fortunate enough to have Don loop me in on a client he was working with. I am now happily working with Don and a new team and get to see Don’s skills shine through on a weekly basis.
Don is great at keeping things focused and moving forward. It is refreshing in a world where meetings can turn into tangent machines and result in nothing concrete. He likes turning conversations into tangible actions and is great at driving that home.
Amber Turrill Gomez
Don is a unicorn. I say this because when he touches something, it becomes the best it can be – whether that’s fixing business relationships or businesses themselves, he makes it happen. He tends to know the different parts of an organization better than we know ourselves.
Whether you need a business fixed or some of your own habits addressed, Don both nurtures and gets right down to the point. I would recommend him to ANY business owner or anyone looking for business coaching. He’s life-changing.
Timothy Song
Don is one of the best connections I’ve made professionally. He’s been a mentor to me ever since I began working in sales and continues to provide insightful advice and guidance as I grow into my career.
His words are gold.
Troy Dodson
Don helped me design, test, and build a funnel “soup to nuts” that allowed my gym to thrive.
The funnel ranged from building a following, nurturing the audience with relevant content, and attracting qualified leads into the funnel.
Leads were qualified as prospects and we created an experience for each prospect that informed, educated and inspired them and ultimately led to a buying decision.
With Don’s help, my team and I were able to convert 60-70% or more of the prospects who tried us out into 18-month agreements, year over year.
