Mr Richard Smith

With over 15 years in sales, spanning roles from SDR to VP of Sales -I’ve had the unique experience of co-founding a sales tech company early in my career. This gave me an inside look at the power of sales conversations as the ultimate competitive differentiator, and the ways that coaching can unlock untapped potential in sales- people. At MySalesCoach, I get to fulfil my true passion - helping sales professionals and teams gain access to game- changing coaching that can transform careers and businesses alike.

This role also sees me remain firmly in the trenches, where I continue to learn and make mistakes every day.

Experience and Accomplishments:

● Head of Growth at MySalesCoach - shaping the future of sales coaching at scale.

● Co-Founder and Head of Sales at Refract - building a pioneering Sales Conversation Intelligence SaaS company from the ground up.

● VP Sales at Allego - leading go-to-market strategy for a leading Sales Enablement SaaS company.

● Co-Author of #1 bestseller, Problem Prospecting?!

● Sales Impact Academy Course Creator and Coach- Launched the flagship Cold Calling Bootcamp, coaching thousands of SDRs, AEs, and sales leaders.

● Accredited Sales Coach - working with teams at flagship brands like Zoom, Google, Trustpilot, HubSpot, and more.

● Mentor for Startups - I have worked with regional startup accelerators to help “non-sales” tech founders with sales strategy, coaching, and direction.

Outside of work, I’m a devoted husband to Ashley and proud dad to Riley. You’ll find me on weekends at St James’ Park supporting Newcastle United, or on the sofa, exploring the weird and wonderful world of craft hazy IPAs.
