About the Founder
Having spent more than half a decade in sales, I've experienced firsthand the challenges and misconceptions that surround our profession. This journey inspired me to found Mindful Selling, with the mission to raise the standards of sales and salespeople.
Too often, when I introduced myself as a salesperson, I was met with puzzled looks and preconceived notions. I realized this stemmed from the common stereotype of pushy and unprofessional salespeople. However, that's not who I am, and it's certainly not how my customers see me. I firmly believe that it's the intangibles—like integrity, empathy, and genuine connection—that make a salesperson stand out from the crowd and win a customer's trust and preference.
Through Mindful Selling, I aim to help fellow sales professionals embrace these values and redefine what it means to be a sales professional.
What Clients Say
“You don’t sound like a salesperson.” is the greatest compliment that you can receive as a salesperson
We have recently started our journey with Wingman. Despite our size and scale I found Akshaya to be very attentive and supportive. She is very knowledgeable on her toll and understood how to assist and navigate us through the buying process. I look forward to working with her over the growth of our journey.

It was a pleasure to do business with Akshaya. We deeply appreciate the transparency during the sales process, her diligent follow ups and most importantly the focus on aligning the tool with the problem we were looking to solve.
Akshaya is everything you'd want in a salesperson to support you in your buying journey. She is not only hands-on with the product and very savvy with its features and nuances but also goes deep in discovering the core needs one may have to come up with best practices that make product adoption post-sale easier.
The thing that impressed me most was her diligence even after paperwork to ensure our use-cases were being taken care of and that we become successful with Wingman.

Akshaya was a BDR when we first connected - I was one of her key personas. Her authenticity and transparency stood out amongst the countless messages that would hit my inbox each day. Although my org didn't end up purchasing her solution at the time, we had a chance to continue our conversations beyond that initial need. It's been awesome to see her grow into leadership and share the principals that made her great with other sellers.
I'd highly recommend working with Akshaya to anyone looking for mentorship and guidance towards a successful sales career, or for any org looking to add an S tier contributor to their team.
Someday when I’m leading a tech venture backed firm, I’m definitely hiring Akshaya into her next adventure. She is exceptional at being relentless without making her prospects feel pursued.
Akshaya’s engaging communication style and the ability to connect with your requirements sets her apart. Akshaya’s professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire discussion. Being well-prepared, responsive to our questions, and adaptable to feedback, made the entire experience smooth and productive. Her ability to listen and respond thoughtfully to our concerns greatly enhanced the credibility of the discussion.
The genuine commitment to client success sets her apart. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Akshaya again in the future.
