The Front Door

I'm a nice person, and salespeople have learned to exploit that. So this page exists.

If you're reaching out about something you sell: I hold no budget, I sit outside purchasing decisions at Elevance — directly and indirectly — and an intro from me is not a channel into the company.

If you still want a conversation after reading that, I take those seriously. Answer the questions below honestly and you'll get a real reply from me — which is more than most cold outreach can say.

Takes about four minutes.

Question

What do you want from this conversation?

• aTo sell or demo something

Question

If this conversation produces nothing for your pipeline — no deal, no intro, no follow-up — was it still worth 25 minutes of your time? Why?

Question

Is there anything you're hoping for that you haven't said above?

Optional. Honesty here has been known to pay off.

Question

Who am I talking to?

This screen comes last on purpose. Until now, nothing you typed was attached to a person.

Question

The commitment.

Check it when you mean it.

The record

Before this goes on the record.

Receipt

On the record.

You'll hear back from me within a week — usually faster. A real reply, not an autoresponder.

If we book a call, it's 25 minutes. If there's real substance, we'll book more from there.

The conversation will be held to the intent you stated. You read this far, so you know I mean that.

Wrong door

Appreciate the honesty — that's rarer than you'd think.

But I'm the wrong door for that, and finishing this form won't change it. If your product is genuinely interesting, the best path is making something worth writing about publicly. Good luck.
