Michael Ocean

I’ve been in sales since I was 9 (selling sneakers to my classmates), but my real journey has taken me from founding AE to help scaling sales at companies with hundreds of reps.

And no matter the size of the org, one thing’s always been broken: coaching!

It was always reactive. Training was one-size-fits-all. Role-plays? Rare. Real coaching? Only if your manager wasn’t buried in pipeline reviews. And meaningful, actionable feedback? Practically nonexistent.

That’s why we built SellMeThisPen AI - to help revenue leaders scale personalized coaching and practice without adding more meetings or headcount.

Here’s what it helps you with:

✨ On-demand AI role-plays to sharpen real skills

✨ Instant, AI-powered coaching after real calls or mock sessions

✨ Reinforcement learning that actually sticks

Bottom line: It helps your team ramp faster, close better, and grow revenue - without burning out your managers.

If you’re rethinking how you scale coaching, let’s talk. 🤝

Doing all the normal CTO things: listening, researching, building, and evangelizing.

As a DevOps practice owner, I firmly believe customer obsession first begins at home, and is reflected by how you help your teammates pursue greatness and eliminate the things that stand in their way.

My passion is seeking out complex problems, breaking them into their simplest components, and then helping others to overcome them piece-by-piece. 

I am at my best when I am helping others and speaking to a large audience.
