About
Hi, I'm Carol, a NYC startup vet with 15 years of experience scaling startups. 90% of early startups fail. Lack of PMF (not enough traction), poor sales execution (no playbook), bad founding hires (wrong candidate / wrong stage). But...is it you? Do you lack sales ability OR is it time for a product pivot? You lose sleep over: 🔵 Selling to the right ICP 🔵 Transitioning from inbound to outbound sales 🔵 Qualifying & closing deals 🔵 Having a repeatable, scalable playbook 🔵 Hiring & training a sales team That's where I come in. I audit your process, custom-build your GTM playbook, teach you how to sell, and help you hire and train your first sales team. I am known for my aversion to BS & going above and beyond for clients.
