Working at the
Startup Sales Leadership Institute
MEET the founder
michelle terpstra, sales growth expert
Before starting the Startup Sales Leadership Institute, I spent a decade working in sales for 3 Fortune 500’s (yep! nearly 25,000 sales conversations and 2,100 sales presentations!), I found myself looking for more.
Now as the creator of the Startup Sales Leadership Academy™, a premier online training program that helps founders grow, build and train their sales teams, we are on a mission to help other businesses scale with a sales team.
Over the years, we have served thousands of people through our digital courses, hundreds through our group coaching programs, and I have worked intimately with some of the largest brands in the industry as a Fractional Chief Sales Officer.
We work hard, play hard and love our clients deeply. If you are looking to join a team like that, then you are in the right place.
I can’t wait to meet you!
