Walter is a proud alum of the University of Michigan and holds an advanced degree from the school of hard-won wisdom. He spent the majority of his career as a salesperson who was frequently promoted into sales manager positions. He sold a variety of products with complex B2B sales cycles including LED luminaries, commercial signage, financial services, synchronized clock systems, and commercial fire alarm systems. He’s sold to K-12 educators, colleges/universities, contractors, and manufacturing and commercial/retail firms.

Frustrated by the lack of training he received each time he was promoted to sales management roles, Walter sought his own training and mentors to help him grow as a leader. After training himself and surrounding himself with strong mentors, he saw a need to share his hard-earned knowledge with others to develop successful sales teams. This led to the creation of his own firm, Helix Sales Development. Here, Walter coaches, trains, and supports successful sales teams using evidence-based sales evaluation and assessment tools by the Objective Management Group and sales-enablement technology through Membrain.

Walter’s rocket fuel comes from coaching committed individuals to excel beyond what they thought was possible. Conservatively, his clients see a 37-43% increase in revenue after their engagement.
