The traditional education system has let B2B companies down, with a complete lack of formal, structured education in sales and go-to-market.
‍
It means 100 million+ people across the world are learning on the job, and every person responsible for revenue is at constant risk of missing their targets and often do.
‍
Growth Forum is solving this skills crisis by bringing together by teaching structured, live online courses with high learning design principles.

Growth Forum's "Sales OS" program has generated over 547 million in new deals for its members since launching in May 2023.

CEO & Co-Founder, Growth Forum | Proven Sales Systems Add Up To 57% More Deals in 8 Weeks or Less.

I started my entrepreneurial journey at just twelve years old. 

Back then, I used the school computer lab to make my business cards, and I sold designs to friends and family.

I’ve been obsessed with turning pressure into productivity ever since.

As the CEO & Co-Founder of Growth Forum and former Co-Founder of Locomote, I’ve learned what it takes to scale a business under pressure.

I know the challenges founders face.

You’re juggling endless tasks while also being relied on to prospect new leads and close deals.

Sales is the lifeblood of your business, after all.

That’s why we built our Sales OS program.

It’s a step-by-step blueprint for rapidly growing your sales while slashing your working hours in half.

Our goal is to equip you with the strategies and tactics that have helped countless businesses grow and thrive, even amidst challenging economic conditions.

I bet you're thinking:

“Will these methods work for me? Are online courses and coaching actually effective?”

The short answer: Yes. Otherwise, I would be in trouble ;-)

Our tailored approach meets your unique challenges and delivers real, tangible results.

So if you’re a SaaS or B2B founder ready to overcome sales hurdles, build a repeatable system, and create an overflowing pipeline…

Your team won’t do what you say.
They’ll do what you repeat.

Sales leadership today is not about more pressure.
It is about consistent direction.

Most GTM leaders still believe performance drops because of low motivation.

In reality, it drops because there is no operating rhythm.

I worked with a VP of Sales who adjusted strategy every few days.

The team wasn’t resisting change. They were reacting to chaos.

No one knew what “good execution” looked like on a daily level.

We rebuilt the foundation.

Here’s the exact structure:
• One clear daily focus for every rep
• 3-minute morning syncs using deal signals from Coach Pilot
• Weekly 1:1s based on actual behavior, not anecdotes

Within 3 weeks, pipeline velocity increased.
Call quality improved.
Forecast accuracy stabilized.

Progress is not the result of big pushes.
It is built through daily repetition.

That’s what real sales leadership looks like.
Clarity. Rhythm. And the discipline to protect both.

If you want the exact framework we used, DM me or comment CLOSE and I’ll send it to you for free.

CEO @ Coach Pilot • 2 SaaS Exits (75M Value) • Building an AI Coaching Agent That Can Help You Do The Same.

You think your team is underperforming.
But it’s not about effort. Or talent. Or product knowledge.

Here’s what reps are actually missing:
1) Clear next steps
→ Most reps leave calls with vague ideas, not committed actions.
→ Your system should make “what happens next” painfully obvious.

2) Buyer signals
→ Deals don’t stall because buyers disappear.
→ They stall because reps miss what buyers actually do.

3)Timing alignment
→ You don’t lose to better products.
→ You lose to better timing.

4) Follow-up rhythm
→ Top reps don’t “remember” to follow up.
→ They operate inside a rhythm that never lets momentum die.

5) Not your product
→ They’re not buying your CRM, your deck, or your logo.
→ They’re buying a system that helps them move 𝘯𝘰𝘸.

Most B2B teams close just 1 out of 5 deals.

Not because reps don’t try, but because they operate inside broken systems.

In SaaS, high-ticket deals now take up to 6 months and hundreds of interactions.

Here’s what this could look like for you.
You close 1 out of 3.
Your sales cycle drops from 6 months to 3.
Your reps stop guessing and start following clear instructions at the right time.

If you want to apply this framework and system, comment CLOSE and I’ll show you exactly how to do it for free.

“Let’s regroup next week”
= buyer slipped away.

That one sentence has killed more deals than bad demos.

Calls end without direction or urgency.
Everyone assumes the deal is safe. It isn’t.
Teams miss small shifts in intent.

They don’t act when the buyer starts pulling back.
The deal stalls. Follow-ups get ignored.
By the time you react, it’s too late.

One team had 17 mid-stage deals.

Coach Pilot flagged 11 at risk based on live signals.

We showed them exactly when to shift the ask or change timing.

Half of those deals closed.

What made the difference was a simple shift in how they ran the calls:
• Detect hesitation early
• Shift focus mid-call
• Confirm next steps before the call ends

Close rate jumped from 19% to 38% in 21 days.

Comment Coach Pilot or DM me and I’ll show you how it works in your environment including which deals you can restart or re-engage that you don’t even realize are still alive.

It’s never too early to head for barbecue. 

I am excited to share that I am headed to Kansas City to finally meet Hannah Ribando in person.
