--> Pressure to hit your number got you lying awake at 2:41am?
--> Stressing over deals that are ghosting or slipping?
--> Burned out & feeling major anxiety?

Empowering tech sellers to close more complex deals is what drives me.

I spent 12 years in Enterprise sales as an Account Executive with multi-billion dollar tech companies like Salesforce, Tableau and Outreach. Along the way, I blew past performance goals in multiple roles.  Doing 14X what anyone had done in my territory, being #1 in new logo acquisition, and achieving a 47.6% win rate.

It wasn't always like that, though.

Early on, I couldn’t confidently qualify deals in or out quickly. I wasted lots of time on deals that didn't turn out to be real. My discovery felt haphazard, and I struggled to get prospects to go in depth or quantify their pain.

My first sales cycles were some of the longest on the team. Deals frequently slipped, and I got ghosted a lot. All which I felt powerless to change. I was always waiting for the customer. I didn’t know how to lead so buyers wanted to follow.

You might relate to feeling like I did: burnt out, anxious, and like you don't belong in sales. The sad part is feeling behind, scattered, and overwhelmed has become the new norm.

It took me over 10 years to gain the confidence, knowledge and skills that I needed to be a consistent top performer.

My mission is to ensure you get there faster - by sharing what I’ve discovered throughout my 12-year career.

Outreach is like Amazon for sales activities.  Makes everything about it faster & easier, more trackable, and you get better info for better decisions.  Frees you from mundane work. So you can do revenue generating work.

But don't take our word for it.  Adobe, Tableau, Zoom and 5,000+ other clients get extraordinary results with Outreach's system of action. Salesforce, Microsoft and SAP have all invested millions in Outreach.

Honeywell, Cisco and SAP drive predictable and measurable growth, increase efficiency + effectiveness of all customer-facing teams, and improve visibility into sales activity and performance with Outreach.

Enterprise Account Executive

Tableau Software

How do you actually accomplish digital transformation, in real life? How have others built a data culture? What have they gained as a result of all that time and effort?

Working with clients to answer these questions helped me achieve: 
• 137.73% YoY growth in my book - this put me in the Top 7%; #5 out of 63 reps
• 145.36% of Services quota; #22 out of 63
•  41% partner attachment (sales is a Team Sport)
• The honor of presenting to my peers on Prospecting at GSKO 2020

PowerSchool

PowerSchool creates tech that makes it easier, faster, and more cost-effective for schools to find and
keep great teachers. As a former teacher, this was a purpose close to my heart.

In this role, I worked with large school districts and associations (5,000 - 50,000 employees) across
5 states. This included all stages of the sales cycle: market development, new business sales and
expansions.

• Truly partnering with the districts I served allowed me to achieve an average of 127% of my revenue goals every quarter.  
• This partnership approach also helped me do 14X what prior reps had done in the same geographic territory.
• Over 61% of my clients had never worked with us before.  Earning their trust was an honor.

Feel like you're trying to do everything right… but deals keep slipping, ghosting, or dragging out forever?
You’re not alone.

Enterprise sales is full of hidden traps no one warns you about:
 ❌ Deals that seem real but never close
 ❌ Discovery calls that stay surface-level
 ❌ No clear way to qualify quickly—or confidently
 ❌ “Great calls” that vanish into silence
 ❌ A cycle that feels out of your control

And somehow, you’re still expected to hit an aggressive number.
In a tough market. With no real playbook.

It’s exhausting—and it’s not your fault.


The worst part? You don’t feel in control.
You’re anxious. Burnt out.
And starting to wonder if you're even cut out for this.

But it’s not you.
You were just never taught how Enterprise sales actually works.


What if you didn’t have to figure it out the hard way?


I spent 12 years selling Enterprise deals at Salesforce, Tableau, and Outreach. I hit 47.6% win rates, broke records, and 14X’d territory expectations—but it didn’t start that way.

Early in my career, I felt stuck and scattered too. I had to teach myself how to run deals with structure, control, and confidence—because no one else was doing that kind of coaching.


Now, I teach you the strategies I wish I had sooner:
 ✅ Run Discovery that actually drives urgency
 ✅ Qualify fast—without sounding like a jerk
 ✅ Multi-thread without being annoying
 ✅ Speak the language of Executives
 ✅ Lead deals so buyers want to follow


Here’s what clients say after working together:
 👉 “Went from 2% of my number to 106%”
 👉 “Helped me close a deal with a $5B account - that 2 of my predecessors failed to close.”
 👉 “I closed the largest contract in my company’s history from prospecting to close because I implemented in real time what she taught me.“


You don’t need another sales theory.
You need someone who’s been in your shoes—and knows how to win big deals now.


Want to sell like a top performer—without waiting 10 years to figure it out?
Let’s work together: krystenconner.com


🟢 I offer 1:1 coaching for individual reps, and workshops for sales teams who want to win bigger, faster, and more often.

Dark Social & Evangelism @ Chili Piper | Co-Founder @ Revenue Era | Sales Rep Turned Marketer

I'm a unique breed of B2B marketer, one who's actually carried quota and closed deals.

8 years in SaaS sales + 4 years in marketing = a unique lens on what really drives revenue. While most marketers optimize for vanity metrics, I optimize for buyer behavior. Because I've been on both sides of the table.

My superpower? Combining sales instincts with marketing scale to create GTM strategies that break through the noise.

I help B2B SaaS founders and marketing leaders build Modern GTM strategies that turn prospects into customers and customers into advocates. 
My focus: buyer enablement, ecosystem marketing, and creating revenue engines that scale.

The future of B2B isn't about traditional company focused marketing. It's about collaborating together through partnerships, community, and customer-led growth.

The old playbook is broken. Time to build something better.

DM me to discuss your GTM challenges and jam about the future of GTM!
