WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT CODY

"I worked with Cody directly on a sales department build-out for a training company and have to say: it was SO refreshing to work with someone that holds such ridiculously high standards but also knows how to make work enjoyable. He raised the bar higher every day; with an infectious positive attitude and a work ethic that kept the rest of the team on their feet.

As a manager, Cody’s expertise, experience, and strong leadership abilities helped us not only close deals with some of the top consulting companies in the world but also set up the department for success for many seasons to come. He is full of integrity and someone you can trust to get the job done.

I would highly recommend him to any company or client that wants to work only with the best."

"I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with Cody and I am extremely grateful for what I've learned directly reporting to him. He provided me with constructive and actionable feedback but at the same time empowered me and made me feel confident as a newly ramped up Account Executive. My self- esteem as a sales professional radically improved as he continuously motivated me and led me to success month after month. Cody is dedicated to his team and his expertise is undeniable. He brings intelligence and integrity to his work and under his guidance, vision and leadership, I have professionally grown in more ways than I could have ever expected."

"Cody is an exceptional leader who elevated the sales organization from his very first day. Through his genuine curiosity and love for people, Cody is able to connect and build trust deeply and quickly. He’s a motivational leader who inspires confidence in everyone he works with. Cody sets a high standard of achievement, rolling up his sleeves to dive into the details and coach his team, continually raising the bar for everyone involved. Yet, he makes it look effortless. Cody’s coaching process, rooted in self-discovery, unlocks his team’s potential, helping reps reach new heights. As a result, the sales team achieved win rates of 65%, record-breaking sales velocity, and quarter-over-quarter revenue growth. I’m incredibly grateful for Cody’s investment in me and for the opportunity to learn alongside one of the greats. I would jump at the chance to work together again."

"Cody is the best sales manager I've had the pleasure of working with. Cody's biggest superpower is his ability to motivate and inspire. He was always looking for ways to support my selling strategy and my headspace. Very personable and charismatic leader who knows what to say and how to say it. When he helped me grow from an individual contributor to a people manager, I gained a much deeper appreciation for his abilities to delegate tasks and the careful attention he gives each conversation. Whether managing up or managing down, Cody has excellent people skills and is a master of conversation. Despite never being an individual contributor at Product School, Cody's advice on strategy and the trainings that he prepared were helpful and had serious impact here; he helped oversee growth from $70k/week to >$250k/week! He also had a big impact on overall culture at our company by implementing growth plans for his direct reports, organizing company-wide hangouts, and starting President's Club for our sales team. As a direct report, I felt I could trust Cody with any issues related to professional (or personal) life. Pleasure working with you boss!"

"Cody was my first mentor at Product School. He helped me grow professionally and develop a confidence in myself that I bring to work every single day. He is extremely skilled in empowering the teams he works with towards success and is a great asset to any team/company he is in."

"I've had the opportunity to have Cody as my mentor for almost a year, and I truly can say he is a true sales enthusiast. He always cares about his team, even outside of work. His Sales training is the best, it literally helped to improve my skills to perform in my role, contributing to a huge part of my success at the company. I highly recommend Cody to any company that is looking to take its Sales Teams to the next level."

"I had the pleasure of working for Cody for about a year on one of his sales training teams. Starting my first ever sales job at Yelp would not have been the same without Cody's relentless positivity and guidance. 

Going through training and watching Cody manage our team of young developing sales representatives was an incredible experience. Cody is a natural leader and has a knack for knowing how to approach individuals with constructive feedback. I have to mention it again, you'd be hard pressed to find a more positive manager than Cody, and that really makes a difference when you come into work every day knowing you're about to make 80-100 cold calls! 

Great manager, great guy, wish the best for him and would recommend him for any job without hesitation."

"I thank my lucky stars I had the chance to learn the ropes from Cody. Though not my direct manager, Cody always went out of his way to support the whole admissions team to become better salespeople, he also never forgets to inspire us in every meeting by sharing his personal stories. Cody is a great motivator, trainer, and leader. And as a result of his guidance and training, I was able to successfully improve and stayed consistent in my performance. I've gained more confidence in my sales pitch and product knowledge. To add, Cody doesn't miss a chance to simply DM you over slack and recognize your efforts. Not to mention, Cody will always remind you of your WHYs and this has really helped me a lot in maintaining a winning mindset. If you’re looking for a colleague, collaborator, manager, or leader on your team, I can’t think of anyone I’d recommend more highly."

"Cody is a motivated, hard-working, and an intelligent Sales Manager who is expertise in his area. Always willing to get close to people to motivate us into reaching our goals. A broad-minded VP, who welcomes change and motivates to do better every day. His exceptional set of skills and integrity made my time working with him such a rich learning journey. Cody leads by example, and many people in the workplace find his enthusiasm and dedication, both inspiring and motivating. I am lucky to have worked with him."

"I've had the pleasure of working directly under Cody's leadership and he has turned me into a better account executive by knowing exactly what I needed even when I didn't know I needed it. He is very intuitive and understands your needs to make sure you are successful in your role. Cody and I were also on the culture team together, he made sure that the company's caring culture was still intact over time as we all grew together."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Cody not once, but twice! He is, hands down, the best manager I have had the pleasure working under. Cody has a special way of motivating and inspiring his team, he knows how to give reps space to grow and achieve their goals. I have always walked away from our 1:1's feeling confident that I am in the right place and that I have what it takes to be successful.

At Yelp, Cody helped prepped me as I transitioned into management. He was the individual who inspired to me to pursue the path of management, and much of my style is influenced by him. I can truly say I would not be where I am today without him and I look forward to our paths crossing again."

"Cody is an extremely professional, caring & knowledgeable individual, always putting his team first making sure we had the right tools and information we need to succeed and actually cares about the well being of his team and customers. These are great ingredients for any VP let alone the quality & high caliber human being that he is. Cody is an asset to any organization and will be greatly missed by Product School. It was a pleasure working with you and excited to see the future success you have with organizations that will be blessed to have you!"

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Cody at Product School, he brought my sales knowledge and practice to another level. Cody has a way of motivating teams that is rare to find. He always has constructive feedback with a touch of inspiration that makes the perfect combination for the whole team to achieve great things. Cody was not only my manager, he also became a friend. We had the most interesting conversations about life, different cultures, and international affairs. I would highly recommend Cody to lead any sort of culturally diverse team in any growing tech organization. His leadership skills, ability to motivate and make team members achieve great things are par none."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Cody for over a year now, directly reporting to him for a few months. His sales skills are undeniable; he's persuasive, eloquent, confident and very knowledgeable. However, what I admire about Cody the most is his vision and leadership skills. Always willing to help, always there to support you, making sure that the team is actually supported. 

I can personally say I've grown both personally and professionally because of Cody. He would be an absolute gem for any company that's looking to empower their team and take them to the next level."

"Cody isn't a manager, he is a true leader. Not only is he fully capable of any sales initiatives handed to him but he has the natural talent and charisma that truly motivates and inspires his reps. Sales leaders like this do not come around often and looking back on it, I definitely took a leader like this for granted. I honestly wouldn't be the Sales rep I am today if he didn't believe in me when I didn't. I'd be truly honored to work under him again!"

"Cody was clearly interested in helping me grow as a sales professional. When I moved onto his team, he made sure I felt welcome and trained me to be prepared for the job. He would carve out time with every person on his team, weekly, to help make sure we felt successful and created a team spirit of collaboration and winning together. Which we did. (Top team in SF!)

Whenever I had questions or concerns, Cody responded right away—and even followed up later in the week to make sure my issues have been resolved. His patience and willingness to help made me motivated to do the best job I could and happy to be a part of his team."

"I've been reporting to Cody for a year now as a Senior Local Client Partner at Yelp and honestly can say he is the most genuine, hard working, and thoughtful person I've come across. He not only showed that he believes in you as a sales rep, but also as a person outside of work. The insights he brings to the table to help coach me has been a huge part of my success in the role and achieving my goals. I highly recommend to anyone that's looking for a passionate, caring, and experienced sales person and leader, Cody is your guy."
