About Michael

Michael believes the sleazy sales stereotype is due to the profession’s transactional mindset. He’s passionate about helping sellers to stop focusing on their commissions, and start helping their customers solve problems. The paradox is this will make their commissions much juicier. He’s trained over 10,000 salespeople from 19 year old SDRs to real estate brokers closing 8 figure deals.

Previously, Michael was VP Growth at CloudTask, where he worked side by side with the CEO and COO to scale them from 10 to over 200 employees in just 3 years.

Cosmic Growth Role

A bit of everything! As CEO, Michael practices what he preaches with sales to win new business, but most importantly he oversees operations to ensure our clients are happy with the quality of training, playbooks and cadences. He is also a regular speaker at events, podcasts and webinars about B2B sales and marketing.

Interests and hobbies

Running, hiking, tennis, techno and football (it’s called football, not soccer 😉)

About Lawrence

From legacy sales to telemarketing, the BPO world to tech, Lawrence has a rich sales background covering almost every vertical. His specialty is the phone but he’s also honed his skills across LinkedIn, email, video and more over the last few years.

Now wearing a much more strategic hat at Cosmic Growth, he’s focused on bringing in clients who we can really benefit from our work and then supporting them on their journey to achieve success.

Cosmic Growth Role

About Lindsey

Journalist, meets graphic designer, meets marketer, meets sales pro, meets master of operations, and communication. Lindsey has worn many hats in her career thus far, and has many, many more to try on. She’s spent the last 5 years with a focus in SaaS partnerships, and sales but has always married the two with graphic design.

Now a contributing designer, and sometimes sales writer at Cosmic Growth, Lindsey creates graphic content that speaks to the Cosmic Growth ethos.

Cosmic Growth Role

Graphic designer, with a side of sales writing.

Interests and hobbies

I’m never without a pile of books, or travel plans in the works. I also enjoy interior design, painting, and swimming every chance I get.

Michael Sanchez

Client Trainer

Weird Fact: Took a 6 month vacation
in Medellin, Colombia, that turned into
a 5 year stay and counting…

About Michael

From door to door sales to retail, SDR to AE, Director to VP, Mike has worn almost every hat in the sales book. At CloudTask he joined as an SDR and was instrumental in the growth of the company, joining as employee 15 and growing it to over 200 people. As top salesperson he rose up the ranks across 4 years from SDR to VP.

Not every great salesperson makes a great Manager or VP but CloudTask’s growth only accelerated as he took on more responsibility. With Cosmic Growth since early 2020, his role is to help other sales people see the same success.

Cosmic Growth Role

As Client Trainer, Mike’s focus is on supporting all our clients in active training and coaching.

He offers best practice advice across every sales channel, especially the phone, and listens to live calls and reviews reps work to offer practical advice for improvements

Interests and hobbies

Traveling with my 2 kids and wife. They love the beach, I’m more of a cabin and lake man. Huge New York Jets fan, anime and board games with the kids.

Charles Myers

Client Trainer

proves the rule!

About Charlie

Having started off his professional life as a lawyer, Charlie then spent 4 years as a full-cycle AE for a legal technology company before reconnecting with our CEO, Michael Hanson, an old friend from their university days.

Charlie had found success using Cosmic Growth sales tips in his prospecting, and a short LinkedIn message to thank Michael led to deeper conversations around the “why” behind it all. It quickly became clear that it was written in the stars, and it made too much sense for him not to come aboard!

Cosmic Growth Role

Charlie draws on his varied professional background and interests to create content for our clients – whether it’s email templates, LinkedIn, cadences, call talk tracks, voice note guides or video examples…he’s able to digest large amounts of information and produce credible, compelling content to support our clients’ outreach.

Interests and hobbies

Cooking; various sports – football, cricket, NFL, rugby; exercise, nutrition and self-improvement; music/record collecting, and most importantly spending quality time with my wife, Colette and young son, Gabriel.
