Coach and Founder 

Dan Fagan 

With 35 years of experience as a successful sales leader and entrepreneur, I’ve held roles at world-class companies including Salesforce, Adobe, LEGO, RJR Nabisco and others. 

My unique background as a sales executive and a former executive search firm owner gives me rare insight into exactly what employers look for in top candidates.

What sets me apart is my sales-driven approach and I'll teach you how to sell yourself.

Driven by curiosity, I dive deep into your career goals and job search challenges to formulate a customized plan that gets you noticed.

Together, we will build a compelling case for why a company should hire you.

I founded The Professional Story after helping Gen Z college graduates and young professionals navigate a challenging job market.

I kept hearing repeatedly, "I know many people who need your advice and help."  That compelled me to start The Professional Story.

Success Stories

Young woman with arms folded across her.

A 10-month job search and hired in 5 weeks after working with Dan

“I had been job hunting for nearly a year with no offers and couldn’t understand why.

 

After a couple sessions, Dan completely reframed how I presented my story. He identified the best way to communicate my sales story. He also helped revise my resume and sharpened my interview skills. 

He knows what employers are looking for and his advice was incredibly valuable. 

 

Five weeks later, I accepted a job offer at Indeed. I am so grateful because Dan gave me the tools to land my dream job.” - Kiera

An 8-month job search, 300+ job applications
and hired in 3 weeks after working with Dan   

“Dan helped me craft my story because I was underselling my experience.

With Dan's guidance, I reframed what I thought were basic tasks as major accomplishments.

He taught me how to communicate my work accomplishments and I became a far more confident and effective interviewer. 

He helped me draft different resumes targeted to my ideal job of HR and event marketing. 

I landed my dream job at Omni Hotels just 3 weeks after our final meeting and was hired to my dream job of HR and event planning.

I am immensely grateful for his help and I've told my college friends about Dan and The Professional Story." - Maddie
