I asked my clients what they would say if they were telling someone about me.

Here is what they said …

Meet Rod Cherkas

Believe it or not, my first job was working at my mother’s dry cleaning shop where I greeted every customer by name. Those customers loved that small personal touch because it made them feel appreciated. From that time, I’ve always had an obsession to delight and serve customers.

I believe that customers are the foundation of any business.

These early beginnings started me on a path to become a post-sale executive at several of the world’s most customer-centric companies including Intuit, RingCentral, Marketo, and Gainsight. I now partner with CROs, CCOs and aspiring CCOs to scale their post-sale functional teams, drive business results, and accelerate their own career growth. And… I am still obsessed with delighting and serving customers, and remembering everyone’s name.

How it Works

I offer a range of ways to support your business, team and career growth.
