About Mike
Mike Petroskey has been in quota-carrying roles since 2009. He started as a BDR at Compellent, managed BDR teams across three continents, grew ArcSite from under $100K ARR to $10M+, and is now Chief Revenue Officer at Alta Vista Technology. He runs However We Got Here on the side because he wishes someone had coached him when he was a rep.
Career
Mike is not a sales trainer who read a book about selling. He started as a BDR, learned to prospect by making hundreds of cold calls, and carried a quota for years before he managed anyone.
At Blue Medora, he built the BDR team from scratch—hiring, training, running the playbook, and managing pipeline across three time zones. At ArcSite, he ran the full revenue function and grew it from near zero to $10M ARR in four years.
He coaches because he spent years figuring things out without help. Most of what he learned the hard way—how to run a discovery call, how to manage a pipeline, how to talk to a VP, how to stop losing deals on price—is coachable. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
