We had zero sales experience at Thumbtack, so we decided to team up with Gabe because of his past successes scaling sales teams to 100+. Most of our work with consultants over the years hasn't been successful, but Gabe is a rare exception. He helped us create a productive sales team from square one in just a few months, which would have taken us at least twice as long by ourselves. Most importantly, we now have the internal expertise to continue to build this ourselves.
