Pradeep Sridar — Associate Partner

Thanks for landing on my profile. If you are looking for some massive success stories in Sales... Nah, you'll be disappointed. My entire sales career has been built on top of failures. 👇 is my journey so far ‣ I started as a clueless kid trying to figure out what to do after realising my Engineering degree cannot help me get a job. ‣ Then I met my first boss - Kumar who hired me as an SDR, soon promoting me as an SDR lead of 6 people. ‣ The SaaS buzz was going around and I desperately wanted to get myself into the SaaS world. Landed in Chargebee through Inbound Prospecting. ‣ My first job as an AE, I literally sucked and made 0% commission. After learning the product, market and consultative selling, I hit 300% of the sales quota with 20% new ARR growth QoQ and an overall NRR of 120%. ‣ Learning and practising SPIN Selling led to a 5X ASP increase on all my deals. Landed top 7 logos for the year. Ego bloated up and I argued that great sales reps need not follow process. ‣ Sales leadership journey began... I joined ReportGarden as a GTM Leader for Sales & Customer Success functions. I could bring results very soon being an experienced closer and knowing what it takes to move up the revenue needle. ‣ Soon kicked in the reality check of having a failing process. Failed and failed again, but didn’t give up. Spent a ton of time learning the Sales Process and stabilised revenue growth. ‣ I then came back to work for my old boss, Germain, to help him build the EU/UK, MEA and APAC Sales Regions of Chargebee. I did help to scale these regions to greater revenue multiples, but didn’t care about ‘People’. Treated them like numbers on a Google Sheet. ‣ To change myself, I rigorously practised Radical Candor, built trust and genuinely cared about the team. Really thankful to my team for genuinely helping me change. ‣ I then wrote a Cold Outbound LinkedIn Message to Vetri and created the need for my position as Director of Sales for Ally.io building a GTM team from Chennai. ‣ I struggled to learn Sales / Management. To help the community, I'm building saassales.io - the Knowledge Repo for all things about Selling SaaS where you find answers to 'Real Problems'.
