I started this blog to do two things at once: share what I'm learning week by week, and show that tech sales doesn't deserve its bad reputation. Most people hear "sales" and picture cold calls and rejection. The reality is far more interesting — it's about navigating complexity, building real trust, and helping people make decisions that are genuinely good for their business. I want this to be the resource I wish I'd had when I was starting out.
My guiding principle in both work and life is helping people navigate complexity through clear communication, organisation, and technology. That's what this blog is: one post a week, no fluff, just the raw lessons from the field.
