About Brendan Burnett: Brendan grew up in Washington, D.C. and graduated from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado. He currently lives in Cabo San Lucas with his wife and one year old son where he enjoys sport fishing and surfing the local surf spots. He is the CEO and owner of SalesHive.com, a sales development outsourcing company that books sales meetings for more than 200+ B2B technology and service companies. Since starting SalesHive in 2016, he has bootstrapped the company to over 300 fully remote employees and grown the company to over $15 Million in annual sales.

About SalesHive: SalesHive's mission is to make scaling outbound lead generation services easy and affordable. Founded in 2016, SalesHive has grown from a team of two to now employing hundreds of US-Based sales development reps, while simultaneously building one of the most innovative approaches to modern sales development, all without raising any funding. By combining a highly experienced team and groundbreaking proprietary technology, they’ve booked tens of thousands of meetings for over 200 B2B clients across every major industry.

In addition, SalesHive was built on the premise that modern sales development was flawed, and the companies building outsourced programs were only contributing to that. Their system is to provide a unique approach that delivers real results with the assurance of total transparency, flexible month-to-month contacts, and flat-rate pricing.
