When I first got into sales, I went by the playbook I was given. 😳 After 25 years of leading sales teams and closing 7-figure deals on the regular, I trust myself to rewrite the playbook in real time. 🔥 Let me show you what I mean. Here are some common objections and some different ways to move past them. 👇 --- ❌ "Your competitor is cheaper." ✅ "They definitely are. I mean, why do you think that is?" Now they're going to tell me exactly why I'm more expensive—and that becomes the selling point I use throughout the sale. 😎 --- ❌ "It's too expensive." ✅ "The price or the cost? Because

After 14 years at Salesforce, I've been reflecting on how much this journey shaped both my career and my life. I joined in 2011 as a Senior Analyst on the Strategy team and grew alongside the company through major shifts across cloud, platform, data, and now AI. Over the years, I had the opportunity to work across strategy, operations, acquisitions, product launches, and go-to-market transformation — most recently helping lead the MuleSoft and Informatica businesses alongside incredible teams. What I'll carry with me most are the people: the leaders, teammates, mentors, and partners who supp

It’s kind of crazy seeing Google AI recognize my work and describe me as a Gen-Z AI/ML engineer haha✨ What actually felt special was seeing Google AI summarize my work, presence , and journey in such a meaningful way. It honestly feels surreal how just one year of focused learning, building, and consistency can slowly create a digital footprint that genuinely reflects the work you’ve been putting out here. Seeing all of it reflected back by Google AI honestly felt surreal :) And today, searching “Khushi Yadav AI Engineer” actually brings up my work, journey, and contributions across the inte

Software is not dead. It is becoming more valuable than ever. A few days ago at the Cisco AI Summit, I witnessed Jensen Huang dismantle one of the biggest myths currently circulating in the tech world: The "Death of SaaS." There is a loud narrative that AI will eventually "kill" software companies because agents will just build everything themselves. 👉 Jensen’s take? It is the most illogical thing in the world. He offered an "ultimate thought experiment" that every C-suite leader needs to hear: If we successfully build the ultimate Humanoid Robot (Physical AGI), what does that robot do wh

Helping 18k+ Databricks Data Engineers become seniors | ex-Uber | DataEngineer.wiki

I built LeetCode for Databricks data engineers. 104 exercises. 13 notebooks. Two areas: Delta Lake and ELT. Free. There's no place to practice writing production Databricks code. LeetCode? Algorithm puzzles. DataCamp? Guided walkthroughs. Databricks Academy? Theory and videos. None of them ask you to write a MERGE INTO that handles SCD Type 2. Or deduplicate orders with ROW_NUMBER and QUALIFY. Or build a medallion pipeline with incremental refresh. So I built it. Clone the repo into your free Databricks workspace. Pick a notebook. Run the setup. Solve exercises. Assertions pass or fail.

A great VP Sales just got screwed. This really has to stop. He bought a house and got married. Has a second kid on the way. Crushed it for over 4 years. Doubled revenue YoY. But it wasn't enough. They let him go. He had 90 days to exercise his stock options. He had to buy the stock... And pay taxes on it's increased value. He needed $224k. He didn't have it. He lost 4 years of vested equity. --- If you accept a job with equity. You need a 10 year exercise period. And you need cashless exercise. No one should pay to be fired. No one should pay to be compensated. These things

He made $850M and dropped a brutal sales masterclass! I interviewed Shawn Meaike in Miami, and I asked him where billionaires and the wealthiest people put their money and what they do differently from everyone else. He said he’s the best salesman I’ll ever meet, so he gave me a sales masterclass on how to sell anything to anyone!

CQRS is a pattern, not a library. You don't need a mediator to implement it. You don't need reflection magic. You don't need "handler discovery". You just need two interfaces: - ICommandHandler<T> - IQueryHandler<T> When you strip away the libraries, CQRS becomes incredibly simple: • A class to hold data (The Request) • A class to process it (The Handler) • A pipeline for cross-cutting concerns (The Decorator) If you can't "Go To Definition" on your handler, you've over-engineered it. Keep your architecture boring. I wrote a guide on implementing "Vanilla CQRS" from scratch: https://ln

"Throughout my career journey — which has ranged from teaching English in China to navigating e-commerce internships in Shanghai and London — I learned the power of hands-on experience,” explains Keziah, a Large Customer Sales Account Manager based in Google’s Dublin office. “In my current role, I partner with large retailers to deliver innovative, AI-powered advertising solutions.” “I was drawn to Google because I wanted to be in an environment that encourages big ideas, risk-taking and solving global problems,” Keziah says. “I’ve also benefited from our Googler to Googler coaching programs,

You're stuck in place because you're afraid to look foolish for a few months. It's true with nearly every "almost" entrepreneur out there. It was certainly true with me back in mid-2018. I was afraid to write. Afraid to publish my thoughts. Afraid to build my first product. Afraid to send any DMs or emails. But guess what happened when I finally started checking these things off? Well...it didn't work, to be honest. So, I made some changes...and it started working a little bit. Then a bit more. Then a little more. Then a helluva LOT more. And seven years later, all of my fear, inexperi

Be a resource, not a sales pitch. Read that again. We've watched two types of salespeople over the years. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: ↳ Opens every conversation talking about their product ↳ Sends the same templated message to 500 people ↳ Asks "Can I get 15 minutes?" before offering any value ↳ Disappears when the deal falls through ↳ Wonders why nobody replies 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲: ↳ Opens every conversation asking about THEIR challenges ↳ Shares insights that help — even if it doesn't lead to a sale ↳ Earns the right to ask for time ↳ Stays in touch because they genuinely care ↳ Gets referrals without askin

Head of Communications, AI Infrastructure @ Google

Two weeks ago, I wrapped up at Salesforce, and this week I started at Google as Head of Communications for AI Infrastructure. Saying goodbye to Slack wasn't easy -- it's been a ton of fun working on a product that's genuinely beloved and well-positioned. But I couldn't pass up the chance to come "home" to some of my favorite people -- Jane Hynes, Katie Watson, Ted Ladd and many more...as well as try my hand at a full stack Head of Comms role, without having to be *the* head of comms. So now I'm a Noogler all over again and jumping in with teams building highly-differentiated full stack AI
