Recommendations
See how Atlanta B2B companies built predictable revenue systems.
“As a Vistage Chair, I don’t take lightly the responsibility of recommending an advisor to one of my CEO members. When I introduced Dean Nolley to Raj Swami, CEO of 3iPeople, it was because I trusted Dean to bring both expertise and integrity to a critical growth challenge.
That trust was well placed. Dean stepped in as Sales Growth Architect and Outsourced VP of Sales at a pivotal moment for 3iPeople. He brought discipline, structure, and clarity to their sales organization—developing a strategic sales approach, building a scorecard for accountability, and creating the momentum Raj needed to scale in a highly competitive industry.
But what impressed me most was Dean’s servant-leader approach. He didn’t just install process—he built people. From recruiting and coaching new talent to developing the company’s current VP of Sales, Dean left a lasting mark on the culture and confidence of Raj’s team.
Just recently, Raj called to thank me for introducing Dean, sharing how grateful he was for both the results and the leadership Dean provided. As a Chair, I can say with confidence that I’d be proud to put my name behind Dean again in the future. “
“I’ve been a Business Development Manager at 3iPeople for several years, so when Dean joined as Outsourced VP of Sales—with no high-tech staffing background and replacing a seasoned VP—I was initially cautious. He quickly earned my trust by recognizing my unique challenge as the only rep outside Atlanta HQ and making sure I felt part of the team through regular meetings, best-practice calls, and ongoing coaching.
From day one, he brought structure, energy, and clarity—driving a strategic and collaborative approach. Dean built our new sales process and integrated it into our Salesforce CRM. Dean also partnered with Salesforce and a integration partner, Target Integration, to upgrade us to the right version of Salesforce, while having dynamic dashboards built to have live-time data that helps us proactively manage our pipeline. For a strategic approach to build key relationships, KnowledgeNet.ai was also integrated with web-hooks into Salesforce.
His leadership transformed our sales culture into a motivated, aligned team ready to drive revenue growth. He further found ways to help me out of the box, by making multiple introductions to Network leaders and other Trusted Advisors that he knew in Jacksonville. We were fortunate to have Dean at 3iPeople, and I know I can always count on him for guidance—because he truly cares about people and results.“
