People who have worked with Harry
If you lead a sales team at an office technology dealer, an MSP, or another sales organization, here is what people who have worked with me say about how I lead, coach, and help teams grow.
I wanted to share a quick reminisce about Harry Spaight; Harry was my first manager in a “new to me” industry that has become a 13-year career path. I came in with a ton of energy, enthusiasm, drive, and the ability to strike up a conversation with pretty much anyone. And apart from that, absolutely had no idea what I was doing… Here’s where Harry comes in; Harry provided the guidance, tools, and mentorship that enabled me to adapt my skill set to meet the challenges that are inherent in Sales and to leverage my KSAs to bring value to our clients (internal as well as external).
Thanks to Harry’s belief in my abilities and his support, I moved confidently forward and upward and am still going.
Harry has been my sales coach throughout the past several years. He has helped grow my business without using salesy tactics. He listens and his approach works. I'd recommend him to any owner who wants more from their sales team.
I worked for Harry for roughly 4 years in various roles at the same company. Harry brought a level of energy and enthusiasm every day to the office that was unmatched, and that energy inspired everyone that he was around. What I found most amazing was that he genuinely cared more about helping others get better every time he had the opportunity to talk or work with them and be the best at whatever they were doing, than he did about himself. In my mind, that is the sign of a true leader and one that you would run through a wall for.
There's no doubt that I am where I am today because of having the privilege to work for Harry and learn from him.
Over a span of more than 25 years as both a friend and colleague of Harry Spaight, I have had many occasions to see his outstanding qualities manifested. Most specifically, from a business standpoint, I would welcome Harry to any leadership team as a seasoned professional with skills in developing and growing a highly productive team. The sense of teamwork that he fosters and his direction toward aggressive goals attracts top-notch talent, and as a direct result of his business acumen and coaching skills, he has been able to duplicate and increase those results time and time again. You know when you come in contact with someone that has worked on Harry’s team because they take a little bit of him with them throughout their career. On a more personal level, I have always considered Harry to be a mentor of mine and have repeatedly benefitted from the value of his input. Anyone would be fortunate to have among their friends and colleagues a source of energy, perspective and humor such as Harry.
In my 25 years of working with sales leaders in the office technology industry, Harry stands out as a true champion. You can tell he deeply cares about his people. At the same time, he’s open to new ideas. The combination of being people-oriented and forward-thinking drives excellent results. It’s a true privilege and pleasure to work with him–highly recommended!
When I think about Harry Spaight these words come to mind... servant leader, caring, heartfelt, driven, value-driven, and nice. I encourage anyone to spend 5 minutes with Harry and you will soon find out what I mean. I've always said, "Leaders who lead with the heart, develop a sales team that sells from the heart". Harry places his people over himself. What I admire about Harry is his willingness to learn continually and to develop his team. The sales world needs more Harry Spaight's.
Reach out and get to know him, I promise you will love it. One of the truly nice guys in the sales profession.
