I went from never selling SaaS in my life to hitting 184% of my annual quota in my first 9 months as an AE. Multiple six figure deals got me there - something uncommon in my segment. This would not have been possible without Salman. Coming from outside of tech, I had a lot of work to catch up on. Learning to speak the language, diagnose problems, find and press pain points, and strategically move deals forward does not come naturally. Salman's courses, group sessions, individual coaching calls, and his array of resources gave me these skills and put me in a position to make more money than I ever had and prime myself for a quick promotion. I highly suggest working with Salman. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a first-time AE like myself, this investment is worth every penny.

I'm at 120% of my new logo target and 152% of Pipegen targets. Plus, I'm on track to exceed the number for the year. All thanks to actionable frameworks that Salman shared with me during the coaching sessions. His 5-step discovery framework has been really insightful and has helped me ask the right questions to progress my deals quickly. Salman is great to work with and very flexible in approach.

Within a month of working with Salman, I was able to generate 3x pipeline coverage to annual goal and, only halfway through the quarter, have closed more ACV than my first two quarters here! Salman's coaching has helped me successfully transition from an install rep to a new logo rep. He has a strong focus on the fundamentals and is even willing to talk specific deals you are actively working.

Marcus Rindal - Sr. Sales Associate Salman's coaching has had a large impact on my performance. I finished as the top AE on my team in Q3. He created a curriculum tailored specifically to my needs and the areas I wanted to improve on in my sales process. He helped me to fine tune areas of my discovery and demo where I was losing revenue. I've been able to implement much of what we worked on right away, and have been having better, more meaningful/strategic conversations with my clients as a result. I am looking to build on this moving forward as I practice what we worked on and continue to review the material. Well worth the investment!

Salman came highly recommended from multiple people in my ecosystem and he still sailed through any expectations. In a few, very intentional calls with the leadership team and sales associates he was able to put together a playbook that was exactly what we had been hoping for. All 3 sales members are trained up and our company has implemented basically all of what he delivered. We are very thankful and would highly recommend.

Salman's sales training transformed my career at Salesforce. I went from being an underperforming BDR, worried about PIP, to becoming a three-time MVP in an organization of over 80 BDRs. His ability to break down complex concepts into actionable steps makes the training accessible and impactful. His training is not just about techniques; it's about instilling a mindset that drives consistent success. Salman's focus on processes and frameworks is unparalleled, providing a solid foundation that every sales professional can build upon. The hands-on approach ensures that you're not just learning theory but applying it in real time, leading to tangible results. I would highly recommend Salman's training to all sales professionals who are serious about elevating their careers.

I am currently #1 on my team out of 8, brought in more revenue than #2 and #3 on my team combined, and am currently #2 in the overall company standings for attainment since starting with Salman. There's just too many good things to say about Salman but I'd like to share my personal top 3: 1. World class sales tactics for before/during/after calls to make sure you're always prepared, asking the right questions, and getting to the most important problems. 2. Problem Solving. Salman gives the best techniques to truly understand the problems of your prospects to gain their trust but also the questions in helping uncovering the extra layer of that onion. 3. His teaching style makes everything easy to digest, implement, and overall improve the way you handle your business as a sales rep. Salman is without a doubt the best sales trainer I have ever had and his tactics have truly changed the financial trajectory of my life and my confidence as a seller. The work doesn't do itself, but if you implement the work/techniques, it is impossible not to see success. Thanks for all you do Salman, you're truly changing lives.

Robert Akerele - MidMarket AE - The main impact I've seen is on additional stakeholders brought on to subsequent calls. By being able to consistently and effectively bring on the correct stakeholders I've up my deal value size but most importantly closed more business (shown through a 20k deal closed by being able to multithread and bring on the business director who gave more insights (they needed two of our products not just one). - Metrics impacted, stakeholders involved in deals gone from 1 to 3/4 on average (every relevant stakeholder is on the call in most deals)

Kyle Roenius, Enterprise Account Executive Working with Salman has been an absolute game-changer for me. Thanks to his coaching and techniques, I not only hit President's Club but exceeded my quota by 141%. What sets Salman apart is his knowledge of the game of sales. He has helped me hone my skills in all parts of the sales process - from discovery to close and much more. With his coaching, I'm able to better uncover pain points and metrics that my buyers care about. This skill has empowered me to qualify and disqualify deals more effectively, saving time and energy in a sales cycle. My discovery calls have been shared across my company as the gold standard, which wouldn't have happened without Salman. He has also helped me revive deals when they are stuck, write effective messaging, and get deals through the finish line.

They key difference between Salman and a lot of other great sales trainers is that he was a high performing IC in tech until he started doing his own thing - that's the difference. He gets it. Doing sessions with Salman helped me frame the way I look at sales differently. It's all about driving a deal based purely on the customer's problems and their desire to fix it, whilst also protecting your valuable time as a seller. Would recommend his mentorship to anyone in a heartbeat.

My name is Phil Thomas and I'm a Regional Sales Manager for Lucid Software. Working with Salman was one of the best decisions I ever made in my sales career. Prior to meeting with Salman I was struggling to hit quota. I wasn't terrible, but I wasn't exactly great either - sort of ho-hum. Salman gave me a set up tools, mindsets, and coaching that propelled me to having my best sales numbers to date. I hit my Quota the same Quarter after our coaching started and just hit my Quota again only halfway through the following Quarter. Salman knows his stuff and his advise saved deals, got me meetings I wouldn't previously obtain, and taught me invaluable lessons that have really elevated my sales career. My boss is thrilled but its also extremely satisfying to do good work. The money isn't so bad either. My sales career is really taking off and I'm excited about the future.

Dorothy, Growth (Sales) As a new AE to enterprise selling, Salman's years of experience were clutch in helping me problem solve deals that were stuck or navigate through conversations. His advice always drove my back to getting the fundamentals right. The sales process I currently have in place was heavily influenced by Salman. As a team, we've seen a higher conversion of teams moving forward post trial.

I learned a lot about executive engagement and applied it to my own role and career, and it’s helped tremendously. I feel more confident in my Enterprise sales role and felt that I became a better seller with his 1 on 1 coaching program. I would highly recommend anyone to join his coaching program if they want to build lifelong sales skills and up-level their results. Thanks Salman!

Salman is an outstanding sales coach who has walked the walk, is running the run, and cares about your success. He was my 1:1 coach for 13 weeks as I prepared for a closing role. Before discussing best practices throughout sales cycles and examples from Salman's sales career, we mapped customer personas to clarify the most relevant and impactful business problems my customers and prospects face. Then, we connected the dots through detailed walkthroughs of prospecting, discovery and deal strategy. Throughout our coaching sessions, Salman was willing to answer any question I had, and was receptive to feedback for maximizing the value of our coaching sessions. If you'd like to arm yourself with the tools to excel as a seller and receive tailored feedback from a proven sales veteran who has succeeded from SDR to Enterprise Sales, I highly recommend working with Salman.
