With more than 25 years of experience as a sales executive “headhunter” and sales recruiter in Minneapolis, Rick is one of the most recognized and trusted names among executive search professionals.

A Passion for Game-Changing Hiring Results
As a young sales leader, Rick understood that revenue growth depended on the talent, drive, and work process of committed team members. It was his intrigue with the glaring variance in performance between salespeople that set Rick on a course to fully understand the core attributes of top performers. This led to the development of an attribute-based sales talent selection process which “changed the game”.

A Passion for Course-Changing Client Experience
A fully evolved version of that recruiting, interview, selection, and hiring process ultimately became the basis of our methodology and the key to consistently exceptional results for our clients. Rick’s passion for engaging and extracting embedded, hard-to-find, difference-making talent is accelerating growth for our extraordinary clients.
