Revenue Leadership and Sales Coaching for Founders
Build a revenue team that performs with efficiency and repeatability—with an experienced leader who is also your partner in growth.
​
I’m Corey Kleinbauer. I help founders improve sales execution, strengthen their teams, and reduce the business’s dependence on them to move every deal forward.
Start with a focused diagnostic and coaching engagement. Continue with ongoing advice or fractional revenue leadership based on what your business needs.

Diagnostic & Coaching
$2,500 per month I Initial four-week engagement
Best Fit
You have commercial activity underway but need to understand what is limiting performance and where to focus first.
I review how your team sells, examine the pipeline, and coach opportunity owners on active deals. Together, we connect what is happening in customer conversations to your broader growth priorities.
What we work on
-
Review sales calls across past and active opportunities.
-
Assess qualification, deal progression, and pipeline quality.
-
Coach opportunity owners on stronger next steps.
-
Identify the changes most likely to improve sales execution.
-
Align recommendations with your priorities as the founder.
Our working rhythm
-
A weekly pipeline and opportunity review with the participating sales team.
-
Targeted coaching for opportunity owners on selected deals.
-
Weekly review of customer-call recordings, sales metrics, and pipeline movement.
-
A weekly one-hour discussion with the founder or revenue leader to review findings, priorities, and recommended actions.
​​
The participating sellers and opportunities are agreed before we begin. Founder or revenue-leader participation is approximately one hour per week after onboarding.
What you should gain
A clearer understanding of where revenue is being lost, stronger next steps on active deals, and prioritized recommendations you and your team can act on.
We conclude with a discussion of findings, recommendations, and whether continued involvement would be useful. If a second diagnostic month makes sense, we agree on its purpose together. There is no automatic increase or obligation to continue.

How the revenue-based
incentive works
The incentive is typically 5% of the first-year contract value of new customer agreements. Where my role includes growing existing accounts, it also applies to the first-year value of expansion revenue from upsells and add-ons.
The percentage may vary based on average annual contract value and the scope of the engagement. We agree on the rate, eligible revenue, and payment terms before we begin.
