My name is Kyle Stremme, and my goal is to help bridge the gap between passionate business owners and effective sales management. I founded and run High Kick Sales to offer comprehensive support to FEC owners and event managers. Through a solid foundation, I help them achieve higher revenue, consistent event bookings, and smoother sales operations. For the last 14 years, I have been selling and leading sales teams for high-pressure VC-backed startup ventures. I built my playbook for driving revenue and am sharing this system to identify, source, qualify, and close business for myself and those I manage. The net result is enabling sellers to make more money by helping the companies they work for grow and thrive.
