Connections, Coaching, and Career Workshops for Sales and PreSales pros.

Real outcomes.
“In less than 4 months I signed an offer which has been absolutely life changing, both in terms of increased earnings and trajectory in the space. I could not have done this alone without Mattie's coaching and guidance throughout the entire process. Before starting the program I was spraying and praying LinkedIn applications and hearing back from nothing. I interviewed with 25% of applications I submitted and suddenly had my options of which company to choose from. The difference was truly night and day. I'd recommend both career changer and seasoned vet alike to make the decision to be coached by people who know this business inside and out, and how to nail your dream job tactically in this day and age where the market is oversaturated with applicants. This has by far been my greatest return on investment in years and excited for what the future will bring now!”
“Mattie gave me a structured, end-to-end framework for SE interviews. She helped me translate my experience into a strategic narrative around revenue impact and ownership, then gave me a repeatable playbook-demo structure, value-driven slides, and executive presence. It didn't just help me land the role; it permanently changed how I approach every interview since.”
“We rewrote my resume and LinkedIn in week one, then got strategic about which companies to target and how to differentiate. By week two I had interviews on the calendar, including with companies that had rejected me two months earlier. Hiring managers explicitly told me they could see my initiative. I just accepted an Account Executive offer at ClearGov with a significant pay increase.”
