About me

Enterprise deals can get messy fast, especially when multiple stakeholders, priorities and budgets are involved. AI adds another layer of complexity. I coach reps and selling founders on live deals, from preparing for buyer conversations through investment approval and customer success. Together, we ask questions that uncover problems worth solving, connect your solution to financial outcomes, and help buyers make the decisions that move deals forward. My coaching helps you identify blind spots, anticipate challenges, and equip champions to sell internally when you’re not in the room. Engage me early to build momentum and reduce the risk of getting ghosted, or bring me into a deal that’s already stuck. The goal: close more deals, increase deal size, and make clients wildly successful, earning expansion and references. Want help getting a buyer’s attention or moving an opportunity forward? Let's talk. And make it rain.

You'll get advice on

  • How to quantify clients’ cost of inaction
  • How to connect product to business outcomes
  • How to equip champions to sell internally
  • How to establish sustainable revenue
  • How to close more AI, SaaS, and Cybersec deals
