Petra Wagner is a B2B sales strategist and the author of the SalesBooster Framework — a no-fluff system that helps founders with zero sales experience land their first customers and build repeatable revenue. With over 20 years of experience leading B2B sales at Microsoft and IBM, and later working as a C-level executive and tech buyer in a traditional enterprise, Petra brings a rare dual perspective: she knows how to sell — and how buying decisions are really made.
She created SalesBooster to help early-stage founders build a sales engine they actually enjoy running — one that blends startup grit with enterprise strategy, and works even without a sales background. Through her free Petra AI Sales coach and her premium Traction Toolkit, Petra equips founders with the mindset, structure, and tools to go from pitch to close with confidence — and without the pressure of traditional sales tactics.
