What you need to know about your #'s | EP 34
<p>Assalamu alaykum! In this episode, we talk about why knowing our numbers is essential as Muslims in tech sales—whether we’re reps or leaders. We break down the outbound pipeline funnel (dials → conversations → meetings booked/held → opps created → closed-won) and how we can work backward from a revenue goal to figure out how many calls we actually need, especially when outbound is new and we don’t have strong historical data. We reflect on balancing research vs. volume (because not all dials are equal), running short experiments to set baselines, and avoiding analysis paralysis. We also discuss knowing our commission math and negotiation levers, using numbers for accountability and credibility in forecasting and interviews, and we share that we’ll release resources in our upcoming community.

I went to a 4 days Sales Retreat in Upstate NY | Ep. 32
<p>Assalamu alaykum! Yo, I just got back from 4 days at a sales inner game retreat with my former manager Alex Kremer, and I did not walk out the same seller I walked in as.
