In this episode of Consulting Spotlight, we sit down with Steve Wallace, Chief Revenue Officer of Maverick App, a groundbreaking business development automation and prospecting platform. Steve shares his journey from being a full-cycle insurance agent to leading sales innovation at Maverick App, where he has personally sent over 150,000 cold emails and helped transform how businesses approach prospecting.

Steve reveals how Maverick App was born from the fundamental pain points of sales teams spending excessive time on administrative tasks instead of selling. Under his leadership, the platform has evolved to help sales professionals reclaim their productive hours while maintaining consistently high email open rates of 40-60% through strategic segmentation and personalization.
