Who Am I?

Ashling O'Connor

Founder & CEO

Hi, my name is Ashling!

I help Tech & SaaS salespeople accelerate their careers.

I've walked this path myself. In 7 years, I got 6 promotions.

I went from an SDR to an AE within 6 months.

After 3 years as a top-performing AE, I got promoted to a global Sales Trainer.

I was then promoted to a Sales Manager where I ran hundreds of interviews.

Now I share my methods with my clients to help them:

Secure Top Interviews
Ace Their Interviews
Negotiate Job Offers
Get Promoted Internally

If you're in the market for your next offer, I may be able to help.

Since launching SkillTribe.io hundreds of candidates have used this process to get offers at companies like Hubspot, Salesforce, Gartner, Zendesk and many fast-growing start-ups and scale-ups.

The difference between months of rejections vs getting top offers, quickly, may simply be down to the process you are using. Find out more via our "programs and pricing" page.

My Own SaaS Sales Journey

My SaaS Sales Career Progression Timeline

AE @Dropbox

I worked my way up from an Enterprise Outbound SDR to becoming EMEA's #1 performing Inside Sales Enterprise AE when I left Q4 2017.

AE @Zendesk

I became a top-performing SMB AE for almost 2 years at Zendesk. I was responsible for new business and account management for approx. 2,000 accounts in the UK and Ireland.

Sales Enablement @Zendesk

I became a certified coach and sales trainer, onboarding over 200 GTM folks before taking on a global role, training over 300 AEs and running multiple, internal career progression programs. I worked directly with the President of Sales and Regional Sales VPs to roll out training programs.

Sales Manager @Zendesk

I got promoted to an SDR Manager at Zendesk and a year later I got promoted to a BDR Manager. In both leadership roles I was a consistent top performer, oftentimes leading the #1 team, globally. I won multiple awards e.g. "Global Leader of the Q." and "EMEA Best Manager".
