About

Most sales leaders find out a deal was lost after it's already gone. The reps didn't follow the process. Steps got skipped. The deal went dark. And nobody caught it in time. That's the problem I built Coach Pilot to fix. Coach Pilot is an AI-powered sales platform that works inside your existing tools, surfacing at-risk deals in real time and coaching reps to get back on track before it's too late. Not after the quarterly review. Right when it counts. Our customers are seeing 7.8x pipeline growth and 39% quota lift, not because their reps got more training, but because they got the right coaching at the right moment. Before Coach Pilot, I co-founded Growth Forum (25,000+ subscribers, top 1.5% global podcast, Amazon best-selling book) and built and exited Locomote twice, for a combined ~$75M in value. I only talk about what I've actually done. If you're leading a B2B sales team and want to know which deals are at risk right now, I'll show you for free. 👉 Free Pipeline Risk Review: I'll analyze your at-risk deals and send you a 3-point action plan on how AI would rescue them.
