Sell More, Sell Faster and Have More Fun
I am James F. Hoard, a bold and transformative sales executive, leader, and change strategist with 28 years of diverse experience. I’ve honed my craft across sectors: from leading in the non-profit space to thriving in both global powerhouses and startup environments. This range of leadership has shaped me into an expert in sales process optimization, sales leadership, and behavior-driven goal achievement.
Throughout my journey, I’ve built sales methodologies, reshaped teams, and unlocked new possibilities for individuals and organizations alike. Whether managing multimillion-dollar quotas or coaching leaders to elevate their teams, my commitment remains the same: driving meaningful change, achieving exceptional results, and creating lasting impact.
My Philosophy on Success
My experience has shown me that true success is rooted in:
• Significance over credit: Focus on the impact, not the applause.
• People-first leadership: When you genuinely invest in others, the extraordinary happens.
• Audacious vision: Big, bold plans don’t just inspire, they deliver.
• Relentless execution: Exceptional results flow from unwavering focus on meaningful goals.
My Core Belief
I believe in challenging the status quo, empowering others to rethink what’s possible, and blending high-intensity execution with a playful, approachable style. Whether in sales, leadership, or life, the greatest transformations come when we step into intentionality with purpose and courage with clarity.
Let’s Connect
I’m passionate about conversations that spark growth and innovation; whether it’s reimagining sales strategies, leading teams to new heights, or breaking barriers in personal achievement. If you’re ready to explore your next level of success, let’s connect.
Success starts with bold conversations, and I’m here for them. Are you ready?
