Beau Davis

“Beau is one of the most strategic and trustworthy business partners I have worked with as a client. Beau is truly a thought leader at a time when the term is over-used - he was at the forefront of digital before it was mainstream and then became an authority on mobile long before the industry had shifted. There is a considerable amount of noise in the digital media space and Beau has always been balanced in his approach to serving clients. He seeks to understand and offers credible insights to challenging questions. Regardless of the digital topic, I value Beau's instincts and know he is committed to long-term relationship development, not short-term incentives. ”

“Beau Davis is the best sales executive I’ve ever worked with, and the greatest presenter I’ve ever seen. (He knocked me back into second place, it pains me to say it, but there it is.) But wait, there’s more: Beau Davis is that true and rare comprehensive revenue leader, combining strengths associated with sales leaders, biz dev and marketing execs. I had the pleasure of working with Beau for over four years at Verve and he consistently impressed me with his drive to succeed and the high standards that he set for both himself and the team. Beau’s talents lie in many areas but to distill what I consider his key strengths they are as follows: Beau is a bloodhound. The kid just knows how to find the $$$. He does this through research, gut instinct, and with a relentless focus on solving customer problems. Many of us give lip service to being customer focused and then just go present and sell our own unique set of proprietary 1st party, never-been-done-before-custom widgets. Beau doesn’t do this. Beau can learn on the fly with the best of them. He consistently adapts his already impressive knowledge of his clients (he really does his homework!) and synthesizes client feedback to come up with a unique approach to tackle a problem. Even if that means making his own org step out of its comfort zone. But it’s all because he understands what it takes to win on behalf of the customer. Beau is a great teacher. Over the course of many sales conferences and team meetings, I either saw Beau present, or collaborated with him to present, sales materials that packaged up complex material in a way that a five-year-old could grasp. Whether it was an analysis of the competitive landscape, or a new way to think about existing solutions, Beau exceled at structuring sales materials and internal training docs so that all would feel empowered to hit the streets with confidence. Beau sees around corners. In an ever-shifting landscape, Beau often remains several steps ahead of the curve to not only understand upcoming trends/issues/challenges that will impact business, but to also bring concrete ideas and solutions that will help a company be able to stay ahead of competition and truly solve for client problems. Beau is funAF. Whereas a lot of companies will put in a handbook how having fun is a key component to the job and then expect everyone to just behave like good worker bees, keep in their corners, and act like a good robot, Beau believes in being a real human being in the office and in creating a culture that embraces the idea that you can have a real sense of joy and humor while you work your arse off to achieve difficult goals. So in conclusion, Beau is the real McCoy and one of the most unique and important colleagues I’ve ever worked with. He made me a better sales manager and leader, and there are many other folks who would say the same. Any organization would be lucky to have his talents. ”
