I’m Sal Mikel, and I’ve spent the last 20 years navigating the ups and downs of the sales world. I’ve had my share of wins, learned from plenty of mistakes, and gathered a ton of stories along the way.

I started this blog as a place to share these experiences and observations, hoping to spark conversations where we can all learn and grow together. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, I believe we all have something valuable to share.

So, grab a coffee, jump into the discussions, and let’s enrich each other’s journeys in this ever-evolving field. Looking forward to hearing your stories and insights!
