Wall of love for The Honest Salesperson

Talking with Keely about business development and overall recruiting agency success is always a breath of fresh air. He brings a philosophy and way of thinking that I've yet to come across in the industry. What stood out most was his ability to balance big-picture strategy with the practicality of starting small and building the right systems step-by-step that are grounded and actionable. I put some of his advice into action and it has been a gamechanger for our office. I highly suggest taking a meeting with him!

We hired Keely as a sales consultant to help us build a more structured sales process. As a growing consulting, staffing, and training firm, we needed help laying the foundation for scaling, and Keely played a key role in getting us moving in the right direction. He helped us develop a solid framework, prioritize the right activities, and give us the push we needed to stop overthinking and start taking action. What I appreciated most was his attitude; he’s easy to work with, down to earth, and genuinely wants to help. Keely’s approach felt practical and tailored to where we were as a business. It wasn’t filled with fluff or theory, it was about doing the work and moving forward. I’d definitely recommend working with him if you're looking to start or tighten up your sales process and get real momentum.

Keely recently worked with two of our team members to help them build a more systematic and repeatable approach to BD, and the results were immediate. Keely has a rare ability to break down the fundamentals, simplify the process, and give people tools they can put into play almost immediately. If you’re looking for someone who can sharpen your team’s BD habits and raise their confidence and clarity, Keely’s the real deal!

I had a super quick, 1:1 coaching call with Keely and he provided me incredible insights into my business development strategy. When you're starting out your recruitment agency, the task of business development can definitely be daunting. His advice gave me the information that I needed to feel more confident in my capabilities for my own lead generation. I'd recommend Keely to anyone.

Keely was immensely helpful in helping me organize my BD process and efforts. He did everything from providing me with the tools and resources to think through what I wanted an outreach cadence to look like, to helping me on the spot with client and prospective client conversations. He helped me have much more effective conversations with prospects such that I was qualifying business better on the front end, setting better expectations, and working on more fillable roles. Once we had generated $300k+ in pipeline, he moved into more day to day coaching of "how do I handle x or y." As a high performing former recruiter himself, his experience and knowledge was invaluable for me in equipping me to have the tough conversations associated with this job. I can't recommend working with Keely enough!! He helped me generate leads, win better clients, develop my client relationships, and make more placements. Everything you could ask for in a coach!

In a brief meeting, Keely provided several, actionable ways to increase my sales productivity which resulted in at least one new client!

Working with Keely,a sales coach who specializes in helping recruiters and executive search agencies, has been an absolute game changer for me. His strategies around business development, creating compelling content, and reshaping how I approach client acquisition have completely elevated my game. I’ve not only gained clarity and confidence, but I’ve also seen real, tangible results. I recently landed two new accounts just this past week by applying his advice. Keely doesn’t just talk theory; he gives you practical tools that actually work. If you’re a recruiter or agency owner struggling to win new business or grow revenue, I can’t recommend Keely and his team highly enough. They’re the real deal.

I 100% recommend Keely as he has been a great value add to my business. Keely has been a tremendous resource for me in honing my outbound strategy. My approach to BD was a messy, uncoordinated "workflow". Through his frameworks, it's become a precise, well-defined system enabling me to systematically acquire more clients.

I highly recommend Keely for anything related to recruitment. With the help of his framework, I was able to sign three new clients, generating a pipeline of over $60K. The strategies he provides are not only practical but also incredibly effective when implemented. If you’re looking for support with recruitment, business strategy, or improving your overall approach, Keely is definitely someone you should connect with.

I had the pleasure of spending just one hour with Keely, and the impact on my recruiting approach was immediate. He introduced me to new techniques, especially the PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solution) system, and helped shift my messaging to focus more on the client. That simple shift led to landing a new client who has since given me multiple roles to work on and interviews already scheduled. I’m looking forward to working with him more in the near future. I highly recommend connecting with him if you’re looking for ways to grow your book of business.

I run multiple staffing agencies and we brought Keely in to help train our team. Keely had some excellent advice and practical tips on reaching our target buyer. He runs a solid consulting call, asks good questions and quickly enough to be able to make an impact inside the meeting.

I had the opportunity to work 1:1 with Keely and it was worth every penny! I highly suggest working with Keely if you are an entrepreneur who owns and manages a recruitment/staffing agency. Keely is a BD expert and also offers resources and tools that I would have never come across on my own. He assisted me with business development strategy, building out my pipeline, MPC campaigns, LinkedIn posts, outreach verbiage, strategy for BD calls and so much more! I can't recommend Keely enough and look forward to continuing to work with him.

Keely has improved by BD organization and automation so that I have campaigns running at all times. They are not intricate or impersonal rather they are simple and authentically me. My business is only 10-months old but it is well-poised to grow next year with the tools and techniques that Keely and I have implemented. Keely is a very smart, principled and authentic person. I know that he will always try to help even after we have stopped working together. He listens well and I feel like I have a sounding board in him moving forward. If you are struggling with how to go about BD in recruitment, I highly recommend hiring Keely. He will first understand where you are struggling and then put together a plan to address. First and foremost, he wants to make sure that he is adding value so he will check in along the way to ensure that everything is working well for you.

I worked with Keely 1-1 to sharpen a few of my systems surrounding Business Development. I had gotten to the point where I had a separate trigger campaign for 10+ different triggers, and I was stuck in Paralysis Analysis, not knowing where to start. Balancing production + leadership, I needed to get back to basics and get my systems dialed in so I could take the right action each day. Keely worked with me to sharpen these systems using the tools I already had and allowed me to get 20% more outreach done each day. He's very easy to work with and can help you identify signal vs. noise in your business. Would highly recommend.
