Craig Klein

Chief Revenue Officer

Craig is the founder and CEO of SalesNexus.com, a leading CRM, marketing automation and lead generation solution for sales teams from 10 to 100. Craig also serves as

Chief Revenue Officer of DailyClout.io. He’s also the author of “Inside-Out Selling”, a guide to growing and managing sales teams. Craig works with small startups and Fortune 500’s to create systems that give salespeople more time to sell and more quality leads to sell to, while giving management the accountability that is so elusive in sales. Prior to founding SalesNexus, Craig spent 15 years building and leading sales teams selling multi-million dollar, multi-year contracts to energy companies such as ExxonMobil, BP, Shell and Chevron. The long, complex selling environment within these energy behemoths gives Craig a keen sense of the risk of mis-allocated sales time. Craig’s superior ability to discern a business owner’s goals, challenges and needs stems from his strong belief that listening skills are far more valuable than speaking skills. Craig’s belief that business growth is the engine of human advancement has led him to serve as a mentor to students in the University of Houston’s Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship. Craig has written several popular e-books including “4 Steps to Market Domination”, “Grow Sales with Emails – 7 Simple Steps Salespeople Can Take Today” and the recent “Email Marketing for Sales Teams – Best Practices”.

Etana Hecht

Associate Editor

Etana Hecht was born and raised in New Jersey and moved to Israel after high school, where she lives now with her husband and three kids in a Jewish Orthodox community. After getting married and starting a family at a young age, Etana and her husband dropped out of college to focus on raising a family and building a business. After the first Covid lockdowns, Etana decided not to send her kids back to a school system that was fully engaged with masking, testing, quarantining, and generally making everyone miserable. She and her husband now homeschool two of the kids full-time and have no plans to send them back into the school system. Etana’s frustrations with the Covid mandates and restrictions manifested into a Substack through which she met many amazing individuals and joined the team at DailyClout, for which she is very grateful.

 

 

 

 

 

Ellen Kinnally

Public Relations

Ellen has been working in media since before man walked on the moon. She started her career in modeling at age 4 in NYC in the mid-1960s. Almost weekly, Ellen met

fascinating illustrious figures in the fashion, art, music scene, and literary world. On a photo shoot in 1965, Ellen met famed author and journalist George Plimpton. Later that evening, as she overheard her parents talking about Plimpton, Ellen asked her beloved father, “How can a writer do so many different things like box and play football?” Upon hearing about Plimpton’s unique brand of “participatory journalism,” Ellen decided that, like Plimpton, she too would be “a collector of experiences.” Ellen’s “experiences” include being Marc Jacob’s muse, fashion model, fashion editor, makeup artist, beauty editor, fashion stylist, tiger trainer’s assistant, elephant groomer, activist, organic gardener, private chef, political consultant, news analyst, media liaison, and, eventually, public relations agent. With her admiration of strong literary voices and a penchant for social-minded activism, it’s not surprising that she finds herself working at DailyClout with the intrepid, multifaceted, renowned journalist, former political consultant, and best-selling author Dr. Naomi Wolf. When not trying to save the world, Ellen enjoys spending time with her beautiful daughter Sophia and puppy Stella, swimming in the ocean, gardening, traveling abroad, cooking, laughing, and dancing.
