Rise&Shine
Consulting
Hi, I'm Michael Loiacono. I've been a 'first 20 employee' at SaaS startups 5 times. I've experienced some great successes (including 2 exits) & lots of failures learnings along the way.
​
I'm eager to share that with you.
I am inspired by those who think outside the box and are not afraid to take risks, which is why I love working with entrepreneurs and startups.
​
My focus is on companies growing from no revenue to $10 million in ARR.
​
I have built, grown and led teams in sales, business development, marketing and customer success.
​
I don't just advise, I roll up my sleeves and do the work. That's why my mantra is:
​
rise & shine
hustle & grind
​

How I can Help
-
Sales process building I can help craft a sales process that is repeatable and scalable
-
Rep. coaching I can help empower your reps with the right skillsets and mindsets to thrive
-
Deal strategy I can help quarterback deals to close (big or small)
-
Salesforce and tool configuration I can help make reps more effective AND provide you the data you need
-
Culture building I can help create that secret sauce. Great culture beats great strategy every time (see below...)
-
Hiring/recruiting I can help source, vet, and interview the right talent for your team (not everyone is right for startups)
-
Messaging / deck / brand building I can help design the right messaging and materials to go-to market

-
Comp. plan creation I can help create win/win plans that motivate reps while enabling the business to grow
“If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea...culture beats strategy every time.”
