Who this is for: B2B SaaS and startup founders

Founders who are still
the sales team.

You built the product. You closed the first customers yourself. Now the deals are bigger, the buyers are larger companies, and the old way stops working.

Best for
  • Founders of B2B SaaS and tech startups who still lead most sales calls.
  • Technical founders who never had to sell before, and now have to.
  • Founders at the seed to Series A stage, moving from small deals to enterprise contracts.
  • Founders who want to sell well themselves before they hire a sales team.
Not a fit if
  • You want someone to sell for you. That is a sales hire, not a coach.
  • You need an investor pitch. This coaching is about selling to customers.
  • You have no product yet, or no buyers talking to you. Coaching needs live deals.

Where founder-led enterprise deals stall

Where an enterprise deal
goes cold.

Enterprise deals rarely die in one moment. They stall in places a founder can’t see from inside the deal.

  • Good first calls that never turn into a second meeting.
  • A demo everyone liked, then silence.
  • Your contact loves the product but can’t get the budget holder to a meeting.
  • Security review, legal or procurement adds months you didn’t plan for.
  • A six-figure proposal goes out, and price becomes the only topic.
  • A pipeline full of deals, and no way to tell which ones are real.

I look for these on your real calls and in your real emails. Then we fix the next step on each deal.

Stuck in procurement right now? Bring one deal.

Client results

What changed for
my clients.

None of them rebuilt the product.
They changed the offer, the pitch deck, the narrative and their voice.

$3M to $6M

3x close rate on $50K deals.

The fix
Same market, same pipeline. A new way to package the offer. Proposals and pitches built on how buyers really decide, with the risk taken off the buyer.
The result
2x revenue and 8x EBITDA in under 3 years.

Hugo de JuanCEO, Encamina

$100K

Their first new client in 5 years.

We dropped the broad pitch. One ideal customer, one offer, zero perceived risk.
The result
A $100K deal with a new client, through a distribution channel they had never cracked.

Sales coaching for founders: questions

Questions founders
ask first.

What does a sales coach for founders do?

A sales coach works on your own deals with you. I prepare you for your calls, review the recordings and plan the next step on each deal. The goal is that you sell well yourself, then teach it to your first sales hire.

How do technical founders learn to sell enterprise deals?

On their own deals, one skill at a time. First discovery: ask about the problem before you show the product. Then who decides and how they buy. Then the proposal and the close. I coach each one on your live calls.

How do founders learn MEDDPICC?

On their own live deals. MEDDPICC is a checklist for big deals. Its letters are Metrics and the Economic buyer, then Decision criteria and the Decision process. Then the Paper process, Identify pain, Champion and Competition. Answer each one for every open deal, and note the answers you don’t have. Those gaps tell you what to ask on the next call.

Can you coach me on one stalled enterprise deal?

Yes. Bring the sales pitch you use on that deal to the Power Hour: 90 minutes, live, on video, $950. See deal coaching. If several deals stall the same way, the sales coaching program fits better.

How is sales coaching different from sales training?

Training teaches a method to a group, usually in a workshop. Coaching works on your own calls and deals, one-to-one, over weeks. What I offer on this page is coaching.

How much does sales coaching for founders cost?

It starts with a free 15-minute fit call. The first paid step is the Power Hour: 90 minutes, live, on video, $950. After it, the price of the coaching is set with you: Selling With Fire, 4 weeks on the sales pitch, or the sales coaching program.
