When you apply for a job in tech, someone on the inside decides if you move forward or get passed over. For years, that was me. I've been a hiring manager, read through hundreds of resumes, conducted the interviews, and built teams across the globe. So when I tell you what makes a hiring manager say yes, it's not theory. I've been the one saying it.
I also know what it takes to pivot, because I've done it the hard way. I got into enterprise sales as an Account Executive with zero direct sales experience, then worked my way up to Senior Director at Salesforce. So if you're sitting there thinking you don't have the "right" background, you don't need it. You need the right strategy.
Here's how I see it: career growth isn't luck or charisma. It's a process, and once someone hands you the playbook, you can reverse-engineer the whole thing. That's what I do. And I'm not going to waste your time with generic, feel-good advice. We focus on what actually moves the needle. We package your real experience so companies see what you bring, not what's missing.
Get to the next level. I'll show you how promotions actually get decided so you can position yourself before the cycle even starts.
Win the interview. You'll practice with someone who's been on the hiring side, so you walk in knowing exactly what they're looking for.
Negotiate the offer. We get clear on your level, your leverage, and your comp (equity included) so you don't leave money on the table.
Book a free intro call and tell me where you're stuck. I'll be straight with you about whether I can actually help, no pitch.
5 out of 5 stars
I reached out to Ivan to inquire about breaking into tech sales with zero industry experience, and it’s been a great decision. From the first session, he took time to understand where I was starting from instead of running a generic playbook. What stood out was how practical it was, with real frameworks he’s used in the past for prospecting, objection handling, and discovery calls, plus a full rework of my resume and LinkedIn to actually speak the hiring manager’s language. He’s easy to talk to and doesn’t sugarcoat what needs to change, which pushed me to improve faster. After working together for some time, I landed a role I’m genuinely excited about. If you want someone who knows the tech sales, presales, and strategy landscape inside and out and actually cares about your growth, Ivan’s it!
