About Michael Sandoval
In 2019, Michael Sandoval led the redesign of a Fortune 500 industrial supplier’s go-to-market engine, replacing legacy quota-driven incentives with a customer-lifecycle revenue model that increased enterprise deal velocity by 41% and cut sales-cycle variance in half. He doesn’t believe in 'sales funnels' as static diagrams but treats them as dynamic feedback systems, calibrated quarterly using real-time win-loss telemetry, margin-weighted pipeline scoring, and cross-functional signal mapping between product adoption data and commercial outreach timing. His approach emerged from years spent advising private equity portfolio companies through post-acquisition integration, where misaligned sales strategy wasn’t theoretical risk but immediate EBITDA leakage. Sandoval speaks fluent finance not because he holds a CFA, but because he built commission plans tied directly to contribution margin thresholds, not top-line bookings. He’s skeptical of AI-powered lead scoring unless it’s trained on closed-won behavioral sequences, not just demographic proxies, and refuses to run a forecast without reconciling it against cash conversion lag.
