Sales Coaches

Seasoned tech sales professional with 7+ years of experience in FAANG and other Fortune 500 companies. Currently, I’m working as a Strategic Account Executive at Instacart. I moved to Canada about 10 years ago with no friends, family or professional network and little direction on career development. Fast forward to now, I have built myself a career in tech sales having worked at some of the biggest companies in the world. Over the years, there are lots of learnings, tips, feedback that I wish someone shared with me when I started. Hence, joining this platform to be able to share those tips via coaching. Looking forward to connecting.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in talent acquisition and recruitment at top tech companies like Meta, a16z, Intuit, and Zoom, I bring a wealth of experience to help you excel in your sales career.

My coaching is designed to help you navigate the competitive landscape, refine your personal brand, and master the skills needed to stand out in the sales field. Let's connect and craft a strategy to elevate your career to new heights!

I help B2B SaaS startups scale beyond founder-led sales. As the founder of Startup Sales Consulting, I work closely with founders and AEs at startups to generate more meetings within their Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and convert interested prospects into paying customers. I've twice been the first sales hire at venture backed startups (Arc Technologies and Trunk Tools) where I helped both companies scale from seed to beyond series A. Now I work as a sales coach full-time to help more startups do the same. You can check out my training classes on my website (www.yourstartupsales.com) to get an idea of skills that I teach.

I've been in SaaS/tech sales for over 9 years, since graduating from my MBA. I have worked my way up the sales ladder - from making cold calls as a BDR in my first job out of high school to leading multi-million dollar, strategic sales cycles with Fortune 500 executives. What makes me stand out is I am a current, practicing AE working in the trenches every day and face many of the same challenges you do on a day to day basis. My methods and perspectives are fresh, relevant, and battle tested daily. I am currently an enterprise account executive at Salesforce and have consistently achieved an average of 140% quota attainment over my nearly 6 year tenure there with multiple Presidents Club awards. I have helped 20+ individuals land sales roles at Salesforce and other premier SaaS companies. I've also mentored 10+ BDRs and helped them land their first account executive roles! While neither of these achievements are a direct measure of my role, they have been some of the most fulfilling and proud moments of my career. I am looking forward to helping others break into sales, hone their craft, and do what we all joined this field to do - make money!
