Project History
Full-cycle B2B Sales Pipeline Growth at WeWork
Closed $4.2+ million in sales across startups and enterprises, achieving 117% of quota through strategic outreach and discovery-led selling.
At WeWork India, I managed the full sales cycle for a diverse portfolio of clients, including startups, SMEs, and enterprise firms. My day-to-day included prospecting through cold calls and LinkedIn, qualifying leads using the BANT framework, booking demonstrations, and handling objection management through to close.
Additionally, I revived dormant leads through targeted re-engagement campaigns, boosting SQLs by 21% in Q4. I used Salesforce CRM to track deal progression, personalize outreach, and drive pipeline momentum. This project refined my skills in consultative selling, quota attainment, and building scalable sales systems.
