Dear Manisha & Salil,
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and insights on implementation of sales techniques into professional growth, how it impacts and various methods of looking at Sales in a different perspective.
One year of togetherness was full of learnings and results driven, will continue to re-visit, utilise, implement the same and may reconnect with you if any inputs required.
It was mindful interaction with each member of Batch 14 SE, wishing very best to everyone and hope to staying in touch, see you soon in near future 😊

@Manisha Rastogi @Salil Arekar 2.0 will always hold a special place in my heart. It's the questions you threwb across us during the course that made me really work on where I want to go, come out of my 'lost phase' and finally find my footing in a helping profession. Sales Excellence 2.0 really made way for Vinisha 2.0 and this year is going to be all showing that face to the world. 😎

Thank you Salil for the Brilliant Session on how to use Pivot Tables and Vlookup functions in Excel.. Its really gonna help me in my operations..
In fact it took me 3 days to generate a qty summary of various repetitive items for an order with possibility of human errors.
I could have done it in a matter of minutes with the above two functions.. Amazing..
Thank you once again.. 😀👍

I have been hearing a lot about using the education imparted during leadership trainings to our respective business, BUT somehow never came around to it.
Until Today.
The session on *Excel & Analysis* taught me to corelate my data against my numbers to tell me where I need to invest my time and where I need to invest my resources.
We keep telling stories to ourselves but when the numbers are aligned , they tell the reality.
Thankyou for teaching us to look at ourselves in the mirror today @Salil Arekar and @Manisha Rastogi 🙏🏽❤️

It’s the completion of our study and it was a wonderful one!
When I look at the growth everyone has had, it’s visual .. it’s right there in the numbers and I have never shared my growth through the numbers
Because maybe it wasn’t in there that way needed but there been so so much background growth and that wouldn’t have been possible without the study and discussions.
I am taking my first visible step today with an Instagram live and @Salil Arekar, thank you so much for the conversation the other day of Just Jump Into It!
@Manisha Rastogi, thank you for being patient with me and understanding where I was coming from which was mostly I don’t feel it, but now I do and I see the Goal, though not in numbers yet but in creation.
And each one of you, I truly mean this.. I have got so much, simply through presence and observation, each one of you have so much to give and share. Have loved the spirit of the group.
So, thank you so much!

Hi Mentors
Manisha & Salil
The concept of knowing the kind of buyer I am dealing with is amazing as it's helping me to recognise their priorities which in turn helps me for better conversions.
Especially the task of making the list of best clients is helping me to analyse my data in a very different & progressive way.
Thank you so much for explaining it so deeply with so simple examples.
I always look forward to your mentorship 🥳

A meticulous planner, she works out every detail. A weird mix of persistence & impatience keeps her restless until your targets are reality.
A MMS in Marketing, Manisha had a 10-year stint at Matsushita Electric Works & Sify where she gained experience in creating distribution network, managing franchisees, increasing retail sales, handling new product/service launches & conceptualizing innovative BTL activities. Manisha created bridging gaps in 2010 with the aim of transforming the way businesses sell.

Salil Arekar
Equipped with an analytical mind and clear task-driven thinking, Salil simplifies things, making everything complex easy to implement. He sets high standards for efficiency and consistency; at the same time, he is practical enough to acknowledge the caveats facing any execution and is a great team player.
Professional experience: Salil started his career with hard-core sales at Standard Chartered Bank and moved up the ladder in HDFC Ltd. mastering the skills for Customer service & Credit assessment. He then worked for the 2 biggest telecom giants, namely, Vodafone and Reliance where he excelled at risk management, credit evaluation, operations management, analytics, team management & process management. After 8 years in this industry, his true calling beckoned. It was time to channelize the learning gained from experiences of so many years towards a single focused element: IMPLEMENTATION.
Accolades:
- Member of Business Networking International – BNI from 2014 to 2023
