Client Testimonials

David Williams

CEO - U.S. Continental

"At U.S. Continental, we hold high standards for the partners we choose to work with—especially when it comes to talent acquisition. Filling the role of Vice President of Sales was a mission-critical move for our organization, and we couldn’t afford a misstep. That’s why we turned to Dan Flynn at Skyhawk Sales.

Dan brought a level of focus, insight, and sales-industry expertise that was evident from day one. He didn’t just take a job order—he took the time to understand our business, our sales culture, and the type of leadership we needed to support long-term growth. His approach was not transactional; it was strategic.

He presented a curated slate of candidates, each with relevant experience, sharp instincts, and the leadership traits we were looking for.

In an industry crowded with recruiters, Dan stands out for his integrity, responsiveness, and deep understanding of sales leadership. We consider him not just a recruiter, but a trusted partner in building our future.

We would recommend Dan Flynn and Skyhawk Sales without hesitation to any company seeking exceptional sales leadership talent."

Rick McDonald

President & CEO - The FSL Group

Dan is a great addition to our stable of quality partners. Obviously he’s good at what he does, but besides sourcing great talent, he is a quality business person. He’s taken a great interest in our company and helping us, providing sage advice and counsel. He’s unafraid to speak up when he thinks his advice could be valuable, which is a wonderful positive for a small business. As we grow, I hope to continue using Dan and his company.

Jerry Rick

COO - DB Sales & Service

“Dan provided Fractional Sales Manager services for one of my clients.  His assignment was to build our sales management infrastructure and to coach our existing Sales Manager. Dan ramped up quickly and effectively then produced results. I found Dan to be an experienced and knowledgeable Sales leader with great people skills. In addition, Dan was incredibly trustworthy, brought positive energy to his assignment, and was a joy to work with.  I highly recommend Dan.”​

Bob Schubert

CEO & Founder - TechTrust

As an early stage Technology company, Revenue growth was our most important metric to prove out our business model. Dan stepped in as interim CRO and led us through a critical transition in our leadership team. I would recommend Dan if you need a focused CRO to keep the sales team on track. Thank you Dan!

Craig Zimmerman

COO - Big Cloud Consultants

"Dan came recommended from a friend and colleague to help start and then build our sales department. Dan brought the knowledge, strategy and implementation path to us. He was instrumental in helping us to hire the right person, put them on the right path and create useable metrics. Working with Dan was a pleasure. He did what he said he was going to do and followed up as necessary. I would definitely work with Dan again."​

Joel Kennedy

Vice President, Sales & Marketing - Northridge Software

“Dan is a fantastic sales mind. I utilized Dan as a sales coach, who helped me reimagine a sales playbook that encompassed all relevant aspects of people, process and technology. Now rolling off of our engagement, I feel well equipped to execute and apply the "rhythm of review" necessary to get the best out of my team and have them happy too! Not the least of Dan's strengths is his extremely high emotional quotient (EQ), which I was definitely NOT expecting from a sales coach. Dan has earned my respect and I would happily work with him again and I would unconditionally recommend him to a friend!”​

Alvaro Chacon

President & Founder - Stateside Agency

“We hired Dan to help us find, interview, recruit, and onboard a sales manager. Dan not only delivered on the job but really did go the extra mile, he showed care for every single step of the process and personally stepped in when he saw we needed it. Dan worked with our business with the care and attention as if it was his own. I would strongly recommend working with him.”​

Steve Lindsley

President - Grov Technologies

“Dan is one of the best sales leaders in the country. Dan helped to create the Spectrum Reach Sports interconnect (a first of its kind in the industry). Dan's a strong, collaborative leader who is passionate about business and life. Dan has the twin attributes of focus on accomplishing his goals and KPI's with an authentic drive to see his team succeed and the individuals within the team succeed. Dan is smart, data-driven and prescient as to the changes in business climates and adjusts with alacrity. Dan's energy and passion are as good as anyone I've seen in business."

Fred Bucher

CMO - The Weather Group

“I had the opportunity to work closely with Dan for a number of years at Time Warner Cable and Charter. He’s one of the best sales leaders in the business: smart, personable, energetic, data driven and highly collaborative. Most importantly he's a proven team builder, successfully putting together the TWC Sportsnet team to sell the Lakers when that channel launched in 2012 and reimagining the structure again in 2016 when he assembled the Spectrum Reach Sports team to sell Lakers and Dodgers following the acquisition of TWC. Both accomplished under tight time frames and the aggressive expectations of senior leadership.”​

Doug Carlson

Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing - OneSource - POP/Display

Dan is an absolute pro. His recruiting process starts with extraordinary due diligence regarding the organization, culture, position, reporting structure, roles & responsibilities, and keys to long-term success. Dan made our internal approach to filling key sales roles more structured and defined through his process. His candidate identification and pre-vetting steps ensure that candidates are rigorously evaluated before interviewing with client teams. I've been extremely pleased with the insightful, strategic heavy lifting Dan does to bring highly qualified sales candidates to our team.
