I am no longer in the tech sales business.
 
I’m in the life-saving business.
 
My new role as a Future Technologies Solutions Executive at Ericom is a whole new level of complexity and potential.
 
I’m no longer just a cog in the vendor sales machine, I’m leading the building and launch of an Australian-first Healthtech solution that will positively impact our community for years to come.

It's called Signs of Life - Australia's first remote contactless vital sign monitoring solution.

A TGA-listed, clinically-accurate, privacy-preserving radar solution that can track vital signs in people without touching them.

Cutting-edge technology in partnership with Xandar Kardian Inc. intentionally designed to meet Australia's desperate need for remote & scalable healthcare.

When Nathan Tremlett approached me with the radar solution they were incubating at Ericom, I sensed its immense potential.
 
When I experienced it, I was 100% convinced that this was going to protect our most vulnerable and save lives.
 
In fact it already has globally, we’re just adapting it to the Australian market.
 
The most fulfilling parts of my tech sales career to date have been mentoring new talent and leading digital transformations in the not-for-profit and health space.
 
Knowing that the solutions I’ve consulted, designed & delivered have made an impact in the community filled me with joy.
 
My teams have created trusted partnerships with NFPs and have built solutions that have helped people at their most vulnerable, connected families through tough times and even given people education for the first time.
 
That’s cool as shit and I’m goddamn proud of it.
 
I may have a sales target to hit but that’s not what’s driving me to succeed.
 
My quota is people served and lives saved.
 
In fact, me and my awful handwriting will be keeping count like any other sales metric.
 
We’re probably some months away from it happening, but I know in my heart we will.
 
For now we keep building on our vision and serving our people with impact in mind.
 
If you’re a health or aged care organisation that wants to know how we can help you, please reach out!
 
I’m in the life-saving business, and it’s a damn good place to be.

Building 🇦🇺’s remote healthcare ecosystem | Tech Sales Mentor for non-Tech People

I've been quiet on LinkedIn lately and many of you know of the struggles I've had over the last year, so I thought I'd share a little life update.

It was too big for a post, so now it's an article.

Thank you all for your unbelievable, heart-warming support through the turmoil! ❤️ 🙏

I’ve been quiet on LinkedIn lately, here’s a life update: Many of you know that I’ve faced significant personal turmoil over the last 12 months dealin

Open article: Life update - from Tech Sales to Signs of Life by Jameel Rehman • 3 min read

Life update - from Tech Sales to Signs of Life

I’m eating my own dog food with Signs of Life.
 
I believe we’re onto something big with our contactless vital sign solution and am happy to be a guinea pig for it.
 
We’re able to track people’s resting heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep quality and more with clinical-grade accuracy, without any breach of privacy with a camera.

I’ve got one of our radars in my bedroom tracking my heart rate, respiratory rate and sleep quality every night.
 
This will help me populate real data into our demo environment to showcase our capabilities,
 
as well as give me some useful data about the quality of my own sleep.
 
Professionally this solution is mind-blowing in vital monitoring capabilities and trend analysis but needs actual data to see it in action.
 
Personally I’m obsessive about personal optimisation but have always had a gap in understanding sleep quality because I don’t like wearing watches and wearables to bed.
 
Many people feel the same, so the radar is a great alternative for non-intrusive monitoring.
 
There’s no breach of privacy as there’s no cameras, you simply set and forget.

In late 2026, we’ll also be also to track sleep apnea - pretty cool!
 
We can also aggregate this data into our partner AI health analytics platform AiCarer, or pipe it via API into a health system of choice.
 
Once I’ve got a baseline of data across both daytime via a Garmin wearable and night-time with the radar, I’ll show you the analytics and potential of Signs of Life.
 
It’s going to provide an entirely new dimension of health data and capability never seen in the Australian Healthtech space.
 
A perfect entryway into scalable health analytics for remote patient care.
 
If you’re in the health and aged care space and don’t want to wait for my results, reach out to me and we can organise a proper demo!

Here’s my classic example of ‘Always Be Closing’:
 
Recently I very stupidly cut my right index finger and damaged a tendon that required day surgery.
 
The surgery only required a local anaesthetic, so I was completely awake whilst they stitched me up.
 
Since I’m intending to sell Signs of Life to hospitals and want to learn more about the clinical value of our radars, why not ask the people at the coalface who would benefit the most?
 
I started talking to the anaesthesiologist and nursing staff about what Signs of Life can do and asked how they would find it beneficial.
 
Whilst the surgeon was tugging away with the stitches (away from my eyesight because I’m squeamish), the nurses were intrigued by the radars and informed me that determining trends in vital data is highly valuable to clinical staff.
 
By identifying trends that lead to deterioration, it allows for more proactive and preventative care before they become acute health events.
 
Fantastic – that is something we can do now with UTIs, a leading indicator of falls in the elderly, and anecdotally we can track elevated vitals days before people become symptomatic.
 
The great new frontier for healthcare is using AI and ML to map vital trends to common illnesses, allowing us to move from reactive to proactive & preventative care.
 
The downstream benefits are prevention of deterioration and acute health events that lead to hospitalisation and more.
 
This means:
 
-    	Healthier, happier Australians
-    	Less strain on our public health system
-    	Reduced cost to serve in our aged care and health systems
 
Just what Australia needs!
 
It was a very valuable insight, but I wouldn’t pay the price of my finger to learn it again 😉

Can you help me with my Clinical Immersion?
 
I’ve recently jumped from tech sales to Healthtech and I’m taking it seriously.
 
In my new role as a Future Technologies Solutions Executive I’m leading the launch of Signs of Life - Australia's first contactless remote vital sign solution built for the Australian remote healthcare ecosystem.
 
As part of that role I need to be able to speak the language of Clinical decision-makers and effectively communicate our solutions’ value in the medical space.
 
It is critical to our success that I understand the clinical world, our customers’ clinical journeys and where we add specific value to improve those journeys,

to show we aren’t just some blow-ins trying to crowbar tech in without any actual insight.
 
If I don’t, we will get dismissed by clinical leaders and everyone loses on the immense potential of what we’ve got with Signs of Life.
 
From experience, this is also one of the most consistent problems of new tech sellers that I’ve had to solve for - both in myself and my students at Tech Sales Academy.
 
Most tech sellers barely have any IT knowledge and it shows when facing into IT leaders, who then instantly lose credibility.
 
I faced this problem when I started in tech sales, and I got past it by immersing myself in the world of tech and learning functional knowledge of the solutions I sold.
 
That knowledge would evolve into thought leadership, and I would eventually strategise, design & deliver multi-million dollar digital transformations for Mid-Market & Enterprise organisations.
 
Now I’m in Healthtech the cycle repeats and it’s time to dive into this new world.
 
I’ve already done some deep-dives into the new aged care and public health regulations, now I want to get into the weeds of the industry and its daily challenges.
 
Now I’m looking to meet with: 
 - Clinical Leaders
 - Nurses Unit Managers 
 - Heads of Digital Health and Innovation, 

basically whoever is keen to give me clinical insights and help build my foundational knowledge.
 
I’d be happy to buy you lunch in return for picking your brain and getting insights on how we could improve the system for the benefit of the community.
 
If this is you or you know someone who could help please send me a message!

I got zero training formal training in my first 3 years in tech sales.
No sales structure. No product knowledge. Nothing.

Just a ton of grind, curiosity, and painful feedback.

When I joined Telstra Enterprise, I assumed there’d be world-class product and sales training.
Nope.
Where I started to learn my craft was 18 months in a support role,
cleaning up billing issues and account problems that AEs didn’t want to deal with while quietly learning everything I could.

It was a trial by fire of:

→ How B2B sales actually works
→ How internal systems and processes fit together
→ What the products really do
→ What NOT to do by all the messes I had to clean up

By year four in tech sales, I’d gone from “clueless non-technical AE” to senior BDM coaching other sellers on Miller-Heiman methodology.

Sadly the massive gap in tech sales education hasn't changed since I started tech sales 10 years ago, and the problems I'm solving for my students are the exact same I had last decade.

This is why I built Tech Sales Academy and teach sales - because no-one is solving the problem at the root cause.

No one tells you the real skill set required to succeed in tech sales.
There’s no fundamental education for what we do.

99% of sales enablement is fluff, fractured processes and product decks.

When I left Telstra and joined Cisco, I thought the lack of training I got was a Telstra problem.
Turns out, it’s an industry problem.

Cisco has mentorship programs and “sales accellerator programs” for new sellers but they all focused on product, not process.
Nothing on sales frameworks, structure of a deal, or how to actually sell.

When I won global sales awards and visited the US and Europe, I met the people implementing these programs.
They all said the same thing: “We know we should be teaching process and soft skills… but the execs just want product, product, product.”

And that’s the problem.
Most new reps don’t even see the tech they sell - it’s either hidden away in the cloud or a data centre.
Hard to sell something you don’t feel.

The advice: if you’re in tech sales, stop waiting for the system to teach you. It won't.
Invest in your own knowledge, study what works, understand why people buy.
That’s what will shift you from 'order taker' to 'order creator'.

Do the work that others don't to get the rewards others won't.

Authenticity is an energetic frequency.

People can feel when you’re regulated, grounded, and operating from integrity.
That’s what defines your vibe - it’s what builds trust before a single word is said.

→ Know your principles and live by them
→ Be upfront when something isn’t a fit
→ Focus on helping, not hustling

I’ve never cared about squeezing the most money out of a customer.
I care about solving problems, leaving people better than I found them, and operating with an abundance mindset.

That’s what authentic confidence looks like, a calm nervous system that says:
“I’m either going to help you or point you in a direction that will. Either way, you’ll get value.”

In Vibe Selling, I call this energetic alignment - your inner state matching your outer message.
That alignment is what people feel when they decide to trust you.

Performative' selling needs to end.

→ Drop the customer service voice
→ Drop the “sales persona”
→ Drop the corporate veneer

Nobody trusts the person "trying" to be trustworthy, trust me! 😉

When you’re real you can throw in some self-deprecating humor, acknowledge the elephant in the room and make them laugh,

the “stranger danger” dissolves and trust is being built.

In a first meeting with a customer and my SE I will literally say, “I’m the guy that talks bullshit. He’s the guy that verifies it."
It disarms people instantly because it acknowledges the sub-context of expecting to be BS'ed to by salespeople.

Trust isn’t built through formality - it’s built through familiarity. Human to human understanding.
Be okay being you first to invite a more authentic conversation and relationship from the jump.

One of the fastest ways to improve as a seller?
Get better at qualification.

→ The industry standard for sales is a 3:1 pipeline-to-close ratio
→ That means 66% of their time is wasted chasing the wrong opportunities

If you want to go from average to elite,
you need to shift your focus from more pipeline
to better pipeline.

Great sellers don’t try to close everyone.

They spend time with the right people:
→ The ones with a real problem
→ The ones who actually want to solve it
→ The ones where your solution fits

Average sellers close at 33%,
Competent sellers close at 50%
Elite Sellers close at 70-80%.

At the elite level, you not only exponentially increase your quota attainment and commissions,
you also save your precious energy and sanity for the things that matter.

The best way to improve your qualification skillset:
→ Get good at a qualifying framework: BANT for SMB, MEDDPICC for Mid-Market & above
→ Learn emotional intelligence and master tools like exteroception and empathy

I can help you with both, and I've got your complete EQ toolkit in my bio!

Astro might not fetch sticks, but Telstra Enterprise's robot dog is helping keep workers safe. 👇
 
Built in collaboration with Ericom, Astro uses environmental sensors and 5G to explore tunnels and tricky areas, sending real-time data back to the team above. The result? Safer working conditions and faster, smarter insights.
 
Astro was recently trialed with John Holland on the Metro Tunnel Project in Melbourne, giving teams a clear picture of air quality and potential hazards before anyone stepped inside.
 
It’s an exciting example of how connectivity and robotics can work together to solve real-world safety challenges and shape the future of industry.
 
Good boy, Astro! 🐶

Australian innovation at it’s finest, and it’s right here at Ericom 📈

Chief Customer Officer - Telstra Enterprise | Graduate of Australian Institute of Company Directors

“What happens when you mix 5G innovation, collaboration, and a robot dog? 🐕✨ 
 
You get Astro – and a fantastic partnership between Telstra Enterprise, John Holland, and Ericom that’s helping make worksites safer and smarter.
 
This trial showed how 5G connectivity, IoT, and robotics can help solve age-old challenges in construction – getting into tight, underground spaces where it’s not always safe to send people. Even more exciting, it opens the door to possibilities like 5G slicing for critical use cases – delivering tailored performance where it matters most.
 
I’m so proud of what our teams achieved together. This is Together Builds Better in action – our teams and our partners all pulling in the same direction to make a real impact. To keep our family and friends out there in risky environments safe 🚧

There’s no real education for tech sales.
You just get thrown in, told your number, and left to figure it out.

If you’re lucky, you shadow someone half-decent and piece together a system that “sort of works.”
But most sellers are winging it behind closed doors - afraid to share their process because they’re scared it’s wrong.

→ No clear frameworks
→ No consistent standards
→ No external validation that says, “Yes, you’re doing it right.”

I’ve coached sellers all the way from new grads to 15-year veterans, and most of them have never been taught what an actual sales process is.

That’s why I’m building a new standard for technology sales.

One clear roadmap for mastering:

→ The complete B2B sales process
→ The meta-skills that set you apart from the 'order takers'
→ How to sell with integrity & authenticity

Salesforce sucks.

Salesforce is NOT for salespeople.

Salesforce is middle-ware stitching data from internal legacy applications together to give visibility to sales ops & executives.

Updating Salesforce & other sales CRMs is one of the biggest painpoints between sellers and managers,

the disconnect being the prodding of managers to update pipeline without assisting in the inefficient process to actually update it.

Pipeline dashboards are often cluttered with:

- old opps from the previous account team they pushed out instead of closing off
- random 'leads' from Marketing (if any lol)
- duplicates of opps created for god knows what reason

This leaves actual pipeline difficult for AEs to get a handle on,

unable to see a clear runway to quota or even what opportunities they should focus on closing.

I solve this for my AE students by providing them a pipeline template that allows them to see:

- what opportunities to focus on each quarter
- their actual values towards their quota
- their next best actions to closing the deal

This allows them to focus on what actually matters daily (developing & closing deals) and then updating Salesforce as required,

usually in a block of admin time on a Friday.

This keeps them on track to smash quota whilst keeping their sales managers off their back!

That template and 9 more to run your portfolio is available here: https://lnkd.in/g-ZfycwE

💡 Are you enthusiastic about waking up in the morning to be the master strategist of your company, or are you dreading another day spent fighting fires and not getting anything significant done?

👋 Hey! I'm Susanne, a CEO Coach, entrepreneur, #1 international bestselling author, and the founder of BeASmarterLeader and SEE Management.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞: Back in 2001, life was amazing. I co-owned a big Swedish dot.com company and started our Netherlands office. I invested my heart, time, and money into it. But then, everything fell apart when the company went bankrupt. I lost everything, and it was devastating—going from a dream job to no job at all.


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠: We made these 4 epic failures!
⛔ We didn't delegate effectively
⛔ We weren't ready for massive growth
⛔ We didn't have streamlined processes in place
⛔ We, the C-Suite, stopped listening to our people


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝: Combining 20+ years in management consulting, over a decade in leadership, and hard-earned lessons from my dot.com collapse led me to develop a foolproof system to help CEOs like you:

✅ Keep your best people
✅ 'Buy back' +8 hours a week
✅ Build a scalable business model for growth


Great leaders aren't born; they're made.
True transformation can be challenging, so I've designed my system to help you save time, reach your potential, and become a top-notch CEO. 


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: Strategies to:
⭐ 'Buy back' your time so you can lead, not be 'all-over the place'
⭐ Create a CEO role that you'll absolutely LOVE having
⭐ Create space for innovation & big-picture planning
⭐ Create trust, structure, and sustainable growth
⭐ Build a winning, scalable company culture



𝐌𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬: CEOs of SME companies on the U.S. East Coast, Canada, and Europe.
But why is this Swedish lady targeting the U.S. and Canada?
The mindset around the importance and value of a coach differs in the US and Canada from the rest of the world. I also love to speak English.

If your people stopped telling you the truth tomorrow, how long would it take before you noticed?

Most CEOs wouldn’t know until it was too late.
And by then, trust, energy, and ideas would already be gone.

According to Gallup, only 3 in 10 employees strongly agree their opinions count at work.

This costs billions every year in lost engagement, missed opportunities, and slow decision-making.

The real question isn’t 𝘪𝘧 your people talk to you.
It’s 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.

So... when you put on your clothes in the morning, put on your large ears too. 😉 

Because if you don’t, you’ll miss:
💢 The frustrations that drain motivation
💢 The bottlenecks your dashboards never show
💢 The small ideas that could become your next breakthrough

Why do so many CEOs stop listening?

Usually it’s:
↳ A lack of time
↳ A lack of focus

Another reason is, sadly:
↳ A lack of interest (and/or courage) 

Make time.
Create space.
Ask questions that matter.

Then, truly, listen to the answers.
💢 See the problem areas 
💢 Document what you see & hear 
💢 Thank your people for their input 
💢 Do something about it (if prioritized) 
💢 Leave feedback about what's happening 

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about hearing the truth early enough to act on it.

PS. Use your large ears, but don't be all ears... 💜
Always listen with purpose.
