About

Struggling to grow your SaaS pipeline or hit ambitious revenue goals? If you’re nodding right now , we might be the perfect match. Hi, I’m Vandana. I build and scale high-performing sales development teams from 0 to pipeline. Over the years, I’ve helped startups and growth-stage companies unlock revenue through: • Smart, scalable SDR strategies • Coaching and onboarding frameworks • Tight alignment between GTM teams • Pipeline-building playbooks that actually work Whether it’s outbound prospecting, team ramp, or rebuilding process , I’ve done it. And done it well. Here’s what I bring to the table: • 10+ years in SaaS sales development • Built and led cross-border teams across AMER & APAC • Proven record of exceeding quota + building repeatable pipeline • Passion for people-first leadership, coaching, and continuous learning But here’s the best part: I love giving back. If you’re an SDR just getting started — I’ve got you. If you’re a founder building your first sales team — let’s talk. If you’re a leader looking to refine process and results — I’m here for that too. Let’s talk strategy, mindset, and momentum. Let’s talk about how we can grow together. Cheers, Vandana
