Startup Institute boasts its instructors are experts in their field leading the innovation economy and Phillip is a prime example of that.”

“Phillip is an incredible problem-solver and team leader. I've worked with him on multiple projects over the years, and he currently serves as an advisor to our startup AdmitSee.com. Under his guidance we've grown in B2B and fast-tracked our operations.”

“Working for Phil the past year and a half, I can honestly say that as a leader of a team- he is clear and firm on his managerial decisions.

Phillip consistently had his sales team exceeding their numbers while contributing in many different facets at GrubHub, including hiring and training sales reps in multiple cities throughout the East Coast. He is extremely results driven and a consummate professional. Any organization is lucky to have him on their team.”

“In my time that I have worked with Phillip he has displayed that he is a very professional, hard-working and results-driven person. He has pushed our sales team to the next level and made it his priority for the East Coast region to succeed in a very difficult market. In formal training, Phillip shared his extensive experience in sales and the online space which has led to the success of multiple individuals in several different cities. His ability to juggle several tasks at the same time and maintain his extremely high performance is no accident. Phillip is an extremely talented individual and the best boss I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He gets the most out of his sales reps through motivation, coaching and his remarkable personality.

He unsterstands what it takes to be successful and I have no doubt that he will be in what ever he puts his mind to.”

“I always relied on Phil as a tremendous resource for all decisions I made within my sales team at GrubHub. His knowledge of sales skills helped bring his team to previously unreached levels of success at GrubHub Phil is great at identifying and hiring top talent with limited resources. His greatest strength though is training that talent to quick success in selling. Hitting quota in the first month was a common occurrence for his new hires without any sort of ramp up quota period. Personally Phil is a great person to deal with both in and out of the office. He's well liked by all and has a dynamic personality that rubs off on those around him. Any organization would be lucky to have a guy like Phil on the team.”

He has that rare combination of instincts, drive, polish, and pure 'love of the sale' that you really need when building something new.

“My time at Grubhub under Phil was an incredible experience. He took me under his wing and taught me many new sales techniques and skills, which made me into a more effective sales professional. Phil is a great motivator and demands the most out of his team, which resulted in the Northeast Region being more effective and successful. Phil is a great addition to any sales team, and I would be open to work with him again in the future.”

“While Philip and I worked for different parts of CitySquares we only worked about 15 feet away. Philip was always in a good mood and it seemed like he managed the sales team well. Phil has a laid back personality that works well in a startup environment but can be a shark when it comes to sales.”

“Phil was always able to come up with cost-effective and out-of-the-box ideas to run for online advertising. They run a good company and provide good value for businesses that rely on internet traffic. Keep it up...”

“Phillip is an energetic, outstanding manager who continually performs at a high level. He is a pleasure to work with and outside of exceeding his professional expectations he is a great person to be around.”

“Phillip is a great leader and manager. Being new to the inside sales position, I looked to Phillip for guidance. He helped me & taught me very valuable skills that I continue to use and to pass on to my coworkers. Phillip is an important part of citysquares, and has built a strong team that is sure to be successful.”

“Phillip has been managing sales here at CitySquares for the past year. Hiring him was our best decision yet. He's not only grown into the role faster than I ever expected, but he's surpassed my expectations. In addition to being a leader and a role model in the company, he's also turned out to be a damn good friend to everyone here. I plan on working with Phillip for a long time to come - if he'll put up with me!”
