About the Author

Hey there, I’m Sailesh! I'm currently building an all-in-one AI sales teammate platform for staffing agencies. No fancy cold-calling degree here—I winged it, learned from every misstep, and figured out what actually works.

This book is straight from the trenches—real scripts, real talk, and zero fluff. Oh, and I just ran a marathon recently. If I can do that, you can totally crush cold calling!
