At SQ Edge, we believe that exceptional sales performance is a result of proven process, deep customer understanding, and relentless execution. Founded by Russ Eskew, a seasoned sales leader with over 20 years of experience, Russ has proven that complex sales problems are best solved by being detached and not living inside the problem.  You can't solve sales challenges by focusing down and in, you must be able to look up and out.  

 

SQ Edge exists to help individuals and organizations unlock their full sales potential. Russ has built a career at the highest levels of performance, recognized as a top 1% sales representative and an 18-time President’s Club winner.

 

He has successfully led and trained sales teams across a range of industries—including medical, service, distribution, and software—earning the trust of both startups and established enterprises with revenues from $1M to $100M+ annually.

 

Throughout his career, Russ has held key roles including Account Executive, Business Development Leader, Regional Director, Vice President of Global Sales, and Chief Commercial Officer. He’s been called on to revitalize underperforming teams and drive results in some of the most complex and highly regulated markets, including state and federal government verticals.

 

Guided by the principles of leaders like Jocko Willink, Marcus Aurelius, and Warren Buffett, Russ brings a philosophy grounded in discipline, strategic thinking, and long-term value creation. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Communication and an MBA with an emphasis in Leadership.

 

At the core of Russ’s approach is a commitment to truly understanding customer needs, applying a proven sales methodology, and becoming a trusted advisor. His competitive edge extends beyond the boardroom—he’s an avid golfer, hockey player, and recent pickleball enthusiast. Russ lives in Mesa, Arizona with his wife of 20 years, Jen, and their four daughters.

 

At SQ Edge, we don’t just coach sales—we transform sales organizations.
