About
I help cybersecurity startups transform how they sell. The CEO or CRO brings me in to work on sales strategy, positioning, differentiation, process, playbooks, discovery, pitch, and more. I've been in the cybersecurity sales world since 1998 and since January 2020, I have worked with numerous companies as their advisor, consultant, and trainer.

Building a successful sales team from scratch at a cybersecurity start-up is not easy!
You are expected to deliver on the numbers even though everything is so murky...
- Your sales process is being created opportunity by opportunity
- Your discovery questions and pitch are not dialed in
- Your ideal customer profile is not solid yet.
But you don’t have the luxury of months of careful research and tons of resources and data to figure all this out!
Sales leaders intuitively know what needs to be done to navigate the best path, but rarely have the time to do it consistently and effectively.
- Recruiting is important.
- Winning new business is super important!
- Attending prospect meetings is important.
- Coaching and training the sales team is important.
- Working with marketing on top of funnel is important.
Unstoppable.do knows all this and is the glue that keeps the sales team together, on message, learning, adapting, adopting best practices, and motivated to improve.
This results in better conversion rates and faster sales growth.
*** Bottom line: When you use a sales system for startups, you grow faster. ***
