Who Is Ryan Staley?
EARLY LIFE
Ryan Staley has been a student of sales since the age of 12. He had many character building jobs (paper routes, bus boy, cook, factory line worker, etc.) that taught him the value of hard work. Once Ryan discovered that you could get paid for the results you created he fell in love with the art and science of sales.
In high school Ryan was a state champion football player in which his team was ranked in the top 6 nationally upon completing an undefeated season. He continued to play football in college, learning valuable lessons about competition, teamwork and the art of winning.
CAREER
In 2000, Ryan had his first success in business as an inside sales representative selling cutting edge technology and training to CIO’s, CTO’s and VP’s of the largest Investment Banks and Brokerages in the world. He finished #1 nationally, was promoted to Manager and then Sr. Manager.
After 2.5 years, Ryan shifted to a complex sales position for a privately held managed services provider that had no customer base in the Chicago market. He grinded and found a way to eventually becoming a multi-year President’s Club winner and equity holder through creating his own go to market strategy and execution plan.
This experience later launched Ryan into a leadership position (at a new organization) in which he was responsible for transforming a struggling business unit into the top performing office, creating an enterprise team from scratch and in developing a recurring revenue engine. The new business unit resulted in growth from 0-$30M Annual Recurring Revenue, $30 Million in capital revenue, over (30) $500,000 plus contracts and a $20 Million contract.
WHALE BOSS
