Over the past 6+ months, I’ve been leading a global deal with a F1000 customer, and I just got the contract signed on a $114M global agreement for FY26 across 7 countries. For the first couple of months in the deal, I was mostly working through things on my own and didn’t really bring in my UYSP coach Christi Civalier my coach in until February. Back then, there was a moment where I genuinely thought the client was going to walk. I was in Palm Springs for a wedding when we got major pushback on our V1 benefits, and it completely triggered me. I went straight into reactive mode trying to fix everything quickly instead of slowing down and responding from a grounded place. Around that time, I realized how much the stress and pressure had been compounding dealing with the deal, and that I needed to make a real shift in how I was operating if I wanted this to land. That’s when I went all in on pulling Christi into everything. From Feb through close, she helped me slow down, reframe value, stay on the same side of the table with the client, and regulate through a really high pressure process with global stakeholders, internal politics, finance pushback, multiple revisions, a bit of a crazy manager, and a lot of Amazon L10/VP approvals. What I’m most proud of isn’t just closing the deal, but how I showed up after that turning point. I stopped rushing and reacting, started taking a step back when things felt heightened Melissa of 2+ years ago would be shocked, and became much more intentional. I started trusting myself and the value I bring, and leaned into showing more of my personality with the client. That’s when I really stepped into what Christi and I been calling my “L7 self.” This one feels like more than just a win but more like a real shift in how I operate. Big reminder that when you do the hard work on yourself and change your approach, big things can and will happen.

Just closed my last deal for the year which takes me to 399%. Another blockbuster year and, without question, a testament to what I've learned and am learning in this program. If I was only allowed to give one pointer from this program, it is to go 'All in'. It works if you work it :-)

Happy to share that last week I closed the biggest new logo deal in my company's history! Can't believe it's been 2 years with UYSP for me. I have loved our partnership, and become better every year, and happy to see your business flourish as well.

Just closed the biggest contract in my career for $680K ACV/$2.7M TCV! I also sold a $305k ACV deal earlier this month....not a bad month! Thanks for your assistance along the way.

I've loved every moment of the UYSP program. It's been invaluable for my growth as both a sales professional and a person, and I speak highly of it whenever possible.
During my first month, I was able to find and use POV content in the course, crafted a message to the CEO based on the framework, called the CEO, delivered the message, and closed the deal in 24 hours after wrestling with the champion for the last 2 months. The commission on that deal paid for half the course in under a month.
Adopting the 12-week year methodologies was also a huge ROI for me from a planning and execution standpoint.

Ian, thought you'd like to know that I just surpassed my year 1 ramp quota, AND I was able to pull in my last deal without having to deal with the stress of the last week of December. Sitting at 106% and planning out Q1 currently.
I closed a 3 year, $500k/year ACV deal just 14 WEEKS after starting at my new organization. This is the first full platform net-new purchase in company history and puts me at #9 globally for the year. I'm so grateful for this program - both from a confidence and execution perspective. Looking forward to continued growth and success!

Joining Ian's sales coaching silver program was the best thing I have done for my career. I had previous success in sales but it was inconsistent. I'd also struggled with severe imposter syndrome, and I was looking to not only build a strong skill set, but also a mindset, that would carry me for years to come. Fast forward, and I have learned more in just a few months, than I did in my almost 12 year selling career. It's been worth every single penny. Even my colleagues and management team have complimented me on how I run my deals, the conversations I am having with customers, and the overall change in my attitude. Honestly, I feel like a whole new sales rep - the one I always wanted to be but never thought was just out of reach. Thank you for helping me find my confidence again and upping my selling game. I'm set to have the best selling year of my career, and I know this is only the beginning.

I joined Ian's Gold coaching program in January 2023. While the program required a significant financial investment, I bet on myself and decided to put it on a credit card.
I am thrilled with the results I have achieved after just six months. Thanks to the program's guidance and support, I have made more money in my career than ever before in just half a year.
This success is not a stroke of luck; it's a direct result of the valuable knowledge and skills I gained from the program. I'm incredibly grateful that I made the decision to join this coaching program and take a chance on myself.
My Inner and outer world is now in a better place and has truly been a game-changer for my professional and financial growth.

I just closed 3 deals this week for $1.2M, $475K, and $200k. Could not have done it without Ian. Signing up to coach with Ian was the best investment I’ve made in myself. I wish I could have signed up sooner. My mindset & overall execution has changed for the better. I’m incredibly grateful to Ian and the entire UYSP community.

Unlock you Sales Potential is a an incredible program! Its excellence draws from the fact that is holistic in nature. In order for me to perform at my highest potential as a seller I didn’t realize that I needed to focus on focus on being a better human being. My mindset, habits and skills need improvement, and in that order. I will make over $500K this year in large part because of Ian’s philosophy. I am also the happiest and healthiest I have ever been. I love the community he has built and look forward to being a part of UYSP for years to come.

Biggest income year!
I'm happy to report that I've had highest-income I’ve ever made, this year. I’m in the best shape mentally and physically, and what’s surprised me most is how often we talk about life — not just sales. The perspective I’ve gained extends beyond quota. It’s changed how I show up, period. Some of the course content is clearly geared toward large enterprise, but a lot of it applies beautifully to MM. I’ve learned to adapt the strategy to my world — and with ChatGPT, I can now build messaging in 10 minutes that used to take hours. If there’s one thing I’d say: this program isn’t just about sales tactics. It’s about mindset, execution, and staying grounded in the long game. And that’s what’s made the biggest difference.
