Richie Contartesi partners with sales leaders to dramatically skyrocket sales, eliminate complacency, and create a consistent high-performance sales culture. His unique accountability system, Next Play™, is a step-by-step playbook to hold sales reps and leaders accountable to their potential every week without micromanaging.

Richie started his journey when he went from a 5’7” 150 pound walk-on at Ole Miss to becoming a Division-1 football scholarship athlete in the powerhouse SouthEastern Conference. He also went on to earn the coveted SEC Scholar Athlete award.

After his graduation from Ole Miss, Richie played professional Arena football, authored his #1 bestseller, “In Spite of the Odds”, was featured in the movie “Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On”, and founded Relentless Warrior and Next Play™.

Using this same drive and accountability system, Richie went on to break records in sales performance at a fortune 500 company, built a 7-figure nation-wide performance coaching program, and today helps companies scale to completely new levels through the Next Play™ Accountability System.

Richie shares each success story from the lens of the audience resulting in a renewed inspiration you can feel in the room. He speaks frequently to large audiences and partners with businesses of all sizes including major corporations worldwide like IBM to build teams who are clear on their goals, focused on their next play, and accountable each week, resulting in their rapid growth and record engagement.

Next Play™: The Accountability System That Eliminates Complacency and Creates a Consistent High-Performance Sales Culture Your People Never Want to Leave. This program is perfect for: - Companies who want to see significant growth and new sales. - Companies who want their leaders to coach great performance and hold their teams accountable to their potential every week, rather than just managing. - Companies who want to solve inconsistency in performance, lack of engagement, and excuses. - Companies who want to solve complacency and content. The leaders will leave with: - The 3-step Next Play™ System that teaches them to be great accountability coaches rather than just managers, coaches, and trainers. - A system for helping their teams to set clear goals, take massive action, track weekly results, and be held accountable to their potential. - A renewed inspiration about what is possible for their teams and personal lives. The greatest skill a leader can learn is the ability to help others realize and exceed their potential. But, most leaders manage people, implement lots of training, and sometimes even coach, but very few have the ability to also hold their team members accountable to their potential every single week. What’s missing is a tool and system to keep people moving forward regardless of adversity. ...less

- James Miller, VP of Sales at Reign

“Richie’s story and book lit a fire within me. His drive, passion, and relentless will to succeed was reminiscent of my time at Notre Dame. At 5’7” and 155 pounds, Richie overcame the obstacles and the naysayers to earn a full SEC scholarship and a place in Ole Miss tradition.”

- Rudy Ruettiger, Inspiration from the classic movie Rudy
