The engagement

Reverse-engineer the plan from the revenue goal.

01
LISTEN
Week 1

We start by listening to what the company already knows.

Most teams have the answer buried in their own data, recorded calls, the CRM, the last three lost deals. We sit with the work itself before forming a view. By the end of week one there are always three quick wins.

02
MODEL
Week 2

Then we reverse-engineer the plan from the revenue number.

The next million is a different problem at 20 deals of $50K than at 100 deals of $10K. We work backwards from deal shape, ICP, motion, pricing, and pipeline math until the plan has one revenue number and a believable path to it.

03
OPERATE
Ongoing

And then we stay on the work until the motion holds without us.

Hands-on engagement at the operator level to set a clear bar. We sit in pipeline reviews. We rewrite the follow-up email. We interview the next rep. The job is not to leave a deck behind, it is to leave a team that no longer needs us.

Dan Code-McNeil

A CRO who turns early traction into real revenue.

Most recently I was CRO at Gorgias, and before that CRO at Ada, where I spent years close to the front lines of customer support automation as the category shifted from rules and macros to AI agents.

I also back early-stage founders as an angel investing in infrastructure, dev tools, robotics, nuclear, and AI.

These days I focus on the surface areas I know best for early-stage startups: marketing, sales, customer success, partnerships, and the pricing and pipeline math that ties them together.
