Nikki has spent nearly 30 years in sales. For 17 of them she sold technology to organizations including Hewlett-Packard, NASA, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, closing individual deals worth more than $3 million, managing a territory generating over $30 million in annual sales, and earning multiple top-producer awards. She has spent the 13 years since building Sales Maven.
She now coaches consultants, agency owners, and service-based founders selling $10,000 to $50,000 engagements, working on the conversations that turn qualified prospects into signed clients. As a Master Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, her focus is language: what you say, how a buyer processes it, and what moves a conversation forward.
She is the author of three books on selling, including The Selling Staircase, the framework at the heart of everything she teaches, and Buying Signals, on recognizing when a prospect is ready to move forward. She hosts the Sales Maven Podcast, ranked in the top 1% globally.
