Our NY Metro area Team

Gary Lustberg is an entrepreneur, sales leader, and growth strategist with more than three decades of experience building and leading high-performance organizations.

Gary founded, built, and scaled Global Medical Transcription from a startup to consistent eight-figure annual revenue, leading a team of more than 120 professionals. Amid rapid shifts in healthcare technology, compliance requirements, and AI-driven automation, he developed predictable revenue systems, forged strategic partnerships, and cultivated a culture of accountability that enabled the organization to scale successfully.

As a business owner, Gary understands firsthand the pressures leaders face from hiring and developing sales talent to driving consistent pipeline growth, improving margins, and holding teams accountable without sacrificing culture. His leadership philosophy is rooted in discipline, process, and a consultative approach to selling.

After years of leading his own organization, Gary was introduced to structured, system-driven sales methodologies. Recognizing the power of a repeatable framework, he became an Authorized Sandler Training Center leader to bring those proven principles to business owners and sales professionals seeking predictable, sustainable growth.

Today, through ForgePoint Group, Gary partners with organizations, executives, entrepreneurs, and sales teams to implement practical, measurable systems that accelerate revenue and strengthen long-term performance. His approach combines real-world executive experience with the Sandler methodology to help clients break through revenue plateaus and build scalable success.

Joan Hatcher is the marketing extension of ForgePoint Group, bringing a diverse background in marketing, sales, and business development. With a strong understanding of technology and marketing automation, Joan combines proven marketing strategies with smart tools and systems to streamline communication, strengthen prospect engagement, and support consistent business development. Her focus is simple: connect with the right prospects, deliver the right message, and create more opportunities for growth.

Andrew Barber is a LinkedIn sales strategist who helps business owners and sales leaders use LinkedIn to strengthen their reputation, deepen professional relationships, and create more sales opportunities.

More than a decade in sales and advertising taught Andrew that strong communication is rarely about saying more. It is about helping the right people understand what matters, remember it, and feel confident enough to take the next step. Sandler-trained, Andrew brings that perspective to LinkedIn, helping leaders make more of the experience, judgment, and expertise their clients already value visible before the sales conversation begins.

Andrew founded Create Positively in 2021 and works with Gary on LinkedIn strategy, positioning, messaging, content, and the systems that make his online presence a productive extension of his sales and business-development efforts
