How This Tech Sales Leader Took His Team to #1 at a $1B+ Org

January 06, 20251 min read

Most top sales reps fail as leaders.

Dustin Phillips proved everyone wrong.

As a rep, he dominated.

Consistently a top performer at Cisco, Citrix, and ZoomInfo.

Crushing numbers.

Leading the pack.

But here’s where it gets interesting:

When most top reps step into leadership, they struggle.

The skills that make you a killer salesperson don’t always translate to leading a team.

Dustin?

He made it look effortless.

He stepped in, took his team to #1, got EVERY rep to quota, and hit 166% team attainment.

President’s Club…as a leader.

If you’ve ever led a team, you know how insane that is.

So, was Dustin just “born” a winner?

Nope.

He knows life’s cheat code:

The fastest way to win is learning from someone who’s already done it.

Not just a top rep.

A top leader who’s scaled teams to the highest levels.
