Setting the ceiling higher.

Closed the company's first six-figure deals and turned outbound from an afterthought into a real revenue channel.

Role
AE → Sales Team Lead
Timeframe
2017 – 2019
Outcome
First Six-Figure Deals, New Outbound Channel
The Situation

Spotio had never closed a six-figure deal, and outbound was a minor, under-invested part of the business. Average deal size was small, and the company had no track record proving it could win larger accounts.

What I Built

I personally sourced and negotiated the company's first two six-figure deals, proving the product and pitch could win at a level Spotio hadn't reached before. In parallel, I built out an outbound motion — growing it from a small fraction of the business into a meaningful, repeatable revenue channel — and grew average deal size several times over in the process.

As promoted Sales Team Lead, I led two AEs and two SDRs with daily coaching and career development, while continuing to exceed quota every quarter as an individual contributor.

The Result

The first six-figure deals became a repeatable pattern rather than a one-time win, outbound became a real revenue channel instead of an afterthought, and the customers we brought on saw measurable productivity gains, lower turnover, and revenue lift from the product.

Why It Matters For You

Proof this works before a company has a track record

Spotio didn't have a reputation for winning big deals yet — that's exactly the position a lot of post-PMF companies are in. This case shows the same deal-size and channel-building pattern applied earlier, with no existing proof point to lean on.
