What this is 🚀

A hands‑on, 13‑week program with six hours each week to install a predictable, repeatable sales engine. The work is practical: sharpen ICP and offers, coach the team, fix process and CRM hygiene, and set a weekly operating rhythm that runs without external help. Expect a mix of strategy, live coaching, and done‑with‑you build work—so changes stick.


Who this is for 🎯

  • Pre‑seed to Series A teams that want a working system, not more slides.
  • Founders acting as Head of Sales who need structure, dashboards, and coaching.
  • GTM leaders who want clean definitions, reliable forecasting, and pipeline discipline.


What to expect ✅

  • Leadership + execution: planning, coaching, pipeline reviews, and hiring support if needed.
  • Sales infrastructure: ICP, messaging, stages, playbooks, dashboards, and forecasting set up or upgraded in the current stack.
  • Team enablement: discovery, qualification, objection handling, and manager rituals to keep quality and cadence high.


Pre‑work (before Week 1) 🧰

  • Share pitch/website, ICP notes, current pricing/packaging, top objections.
  • Provide CRM read‑only access or clear screenshots of pipeline + key reports.
  • Export last 90 days of funnel metrics (stage conversions, time‑in‑stage—approximate is fine).
  • List tool stack (sequencer, enrichment, dialer, analytics) and team roster/quotas.


Weekly structure (6 hours/week) ⏱️

  • 2h strategy/build: systems, playbooks, dashboards, offer tweaks.
  • 2h training/coaching: live roleplays, call reviews, skill drills.
  • 1h pipeline + forecast: stage health, deal inspection, next actions.
  • 1h founder sync: decisions, blockers, resourcing, hiring needs.
