Lee B. Salz is the Founder and CEO of Sales Architects. A leading sales management strategist, Lee specializes in helping companies hire the right sales people, onboard them effectively and efficiently and align their activities with the needs of the business. Using his sales architecture methodology, his clients migrate from being people-based to process-based leading to explosive, profitable growth.

For over 20 years, Lee has guided companies in building high-performance sales organizations that sell to consumers, corporations and the government; for companies ranging from the Fortune 1000 to small firms. An authority on sales management, Lee has helped companies differentiate seemingly commoditized products and services - in both complex and transactional sales - resulting in record revenues and profits.

Soar Despite Your Dodo Sales Manager (WBusiness Books), Lee award-winning book, presents his sales architecture methodology.

Life would be grand if we could sprinkle a few seeds in the ground, fertilize, add water…and a great sales person would sprout. This is truly a pipedream, but one often pursued by small business owners and sales management executives in their quest to find great sales talent. Rather than grow their own, they attempt to steal the crops from their competitors. Why not, their competitor is much better at growing a sales organization than they are. They will grab some magic from their competitor's land and they too can enjoy great success.
