“Working with Alice on my CV and career narrative storytelling helped me secure a role in a field I actually want to be in.”

 Adam Liddle, Senior Account Executive

Senior AE, Healthcare SaaS 

"Honestly, I couldn't recommend working with Alice enough"
She's clearly got a unique outlook on writing a CV. She didn't just rewrite it with keywords - she sees the CV as foundational to the career narrative. Not only did she condense it down to one page, it now really hits on the impact I've made in each one of my roles - I couldn't have done it without her!
 
It has helped me secure a job in the field I want to be in (I started three days ago). Massive thank you to Alice and I recommend working with Alice for absolutely anything -  I look forward to continuing to work with her.

"Alice guided me through the process with patience and expertise."
Copilot: "Alice has been incredible in helping me update and upgrade my professional brand. After spending over 14 years with my previous employer, I knew I needed a refresh, and Alice guided me through the process with patience and expertise. She provided thoughtful advice and practical suggestions that made a real difference. Thanks to her support, I feel more confident and prepared to present myself in today’s market."
 
The OS: "The Trusted Advisor OS course was outstanding. The format was clear and engaging, and I loved the way the flow and history were presented. It not only reinforced what I already knew but also taught me so much more, helping me connect the dots and put everything together. I now feel far more comfortable having technical discussions, which is a huge confidence boost. I would highly recommend every component of the training — from the courseware to the group discussions and the one‑on‑one sessions. Each piece added real value and made the experience complete."

Senior Presales Manager, ServiceNow

"It's especially valuable for those having conversations with seasoned veterans where it's easy to get out of depth and lose credibility and trust."

I wish I could have taken this course a long time ago! I've been lucky to have exposure to much of the history of computing having started my career in the 90's, but I've never had an opportunity to step back and learn the background to the current world of SaaS that we are all living in.

This course has value for almost anyone working in technology at almost any stage of their career. It's especially valuable for those starting out in Sales and Solution Consulting who are having conversations with seasoned veterans where it is very easy to get out of depth and lose credibility and trust.

Senior SC, Zendesk

"The SaaS Savvy program has been a true game-changer for me as a Solutions Consultant."
It bridged the gap between sales and technical fluency—giving me more confidence around discussing APIs, cloud architecture, and AI than ever. It's equipped me with knowledge to close bigger, more strategic deals and elevate my credibility in every customer conversation."

“It took me years of patchwork learning (and stress!) to piece together the technical fluency that The Trusted Advisor OS gave me in just a few hours.”

Lily Guy, Enterprise CSM at Asana

“I HIGHLY recommend Alice's workshops if you want to up your game and better understanding the technical side—all lending to a more efficient and well-versed AE.”

Clare O’Dower, Enterprise AE at Zendesk

Senior CSM, Panintelligence 

"I've learnt a lot just in the first three modules and it's all been highly relevant."
I'm so glad to have found SaaS Savvy and connected with Alice! This course is exactly what I needed to build the foundational knowledge and confidence to take a more prominent position in technical discussions with customers.
 
After transitioning to support a more technically complex platform as a CSM, I knew I'd be able to contribute more meaningfully during discovery and implementation calls if I better understood customers' technical requirements and challenges in the context of their unique tech stacks, and how the product I'm selling relates to and drives value in that wider picture.
 
I've learnt a lot just in the first three modules and it's all been highly relevant.
 
Alice is a fantastic teacher who cares deeply about the quality and accessibility of her course. So much thought and time has clearly been poured into the content and its delivery. I love that there's a mix of well-paced videos with explainer visuals, quizzes, additional resources like podcasts and articles and fictional company scenarios created by Alice to apply the teachings to which helps with understanding the real-life application. 
 
Having a small and friendly community of other learners too is a great bonus! I've had fun sharing thoughts and asking questions in our group sessions.
 
I couldn't ask for more! It's been a great investment in my personal development and I highly recommend it! 10/10

"Alice is great at making the content relatable."
I enrolled in the SaaS Savvy course to bolster my own understanding of various concepts and to join a community of learners with the same goal. Alice is great at making the content relatable. She also reinforces concepts by finding and sharing relevant podcast episodes and articles, and spurring discussion. 

“If you need help navigating the world of tech, go to Alice.”

“I got to work directly with Alice for almost 5 years at Zendesk. She excelled at translating complex technical solutions to a simple language that all could understand. It is no surprise to me that she has started her own business doing all of this. If you need help learning how to navigate the world of tech, go to Alice. She will get you there.”

Jakub Glodek, Head of Presales at BrightData

“Alice's take was the best I'd ever seen.”

“Alice created a high value internal training that demystifies the complexities of Zendesk's messaging products. When the engineering team saw it we added it to our own onboarding path. Acquisitions normally produce a period of complexity in the product, & when Zendesk acquired Smooch this was no exception, but Alice's take on it was the best explanation I had ever seen.”

Andrew Lavers, Co-Founder of Smooch.io (now Zendesk)

"I wish I'd taken this course years ago."

The history piece is by far the best. The compilation of all this history and context jargon it more meaningful and has crystallized and structured a lot of my piecemeal knowledge.

Kathya Pineda

Solutions Consultant, Public Sector - NetDocuments 

"I find myself actively participating at company All Hands and product launches as thanks to SaaS Savvy I have the tech knowledge to ask insightful questions and start conversations."

The Trusted Advisor OS was the perfect course to take as I was transitioning from the legal field into tech sales. The big picture tech history it focused on not only made the industry make more sense, but it also gave context to the terms and jargon that came up throughout the interview process.

The modules on cloud computing and SaaS architecture were particularly valuable—they helped me understand how document storage works in the cloud versus on-prem systems, which is crucial knowledge for technical discovery calls with prospects. When customers ask about multi-tenancy, data security, or API integrations with their existing legal tech stack, I know what they're talking about and can confidently provide the right answers.

I successfully landed a role in Presales for a cloud-based document management solution, and the course and live cohort have been an incredible reference and sounding board as I've onboarded. While my legal background meant I had domain expertise, the SaaS course bridged the technical gap, allowing me to translate between legal requirements and technical capabilities.

Thanks to SaaS Savvy, I'm a more confident and knowledgeable first-time SC. What's more, I find myself actively participating at company All Hands and product launches as I have the tech knowledge to ask insightful questions and start conversations.

“This course hits the sweet spot of business & technology”


"Other courses have trended too technical or too high-level, but this one hits the sweet spot of modern day business & technology. The topics you learn can immediately be applied to navigate and close deals." 

Chelsea Chambers, Presales Manager at Zendesk

“It taught technical topics from a business perspective”


"What made the course so helpful is that it taught technical topics from a business perspective, which is the level of understanding I really need for my job.
 I learned way more than just enough to be dangerous!"

Laura Barquin, Logistics Ops Manager at Velites

Andrea Rodriguez

Customer Success at Twilio (Segment)

“I would recommend Saas Savvy to every customer-facing tech professional out there.”

I would recommend SaaS Savvy to every customer-facing tech professional out there. After years of working as a Customer Success Manager, I wanted to deepen my technical knowledge, specifically across APIs, cloud services, and data warehouses in order to be able to bring additional expertise to my client engagements. The SaaS Savvy course was a game-changer for me. The clear terminology and digestible walkthroughs in the course gave me a much deeper context and understanding of the meaning behind the terms that I had been hearing for years and up-leveled my ability to hold technical conversations with customers. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to pivot into the tech industry or take their tech career to the next level.

"Alice has a natural talent for making complex technical subjects both approachable and easy to understand. The educational product content she created while at Zendesk was easily the best content I saw while there."

 

Caroline Chen

Senior Professional Services Manager, Ironclad

“It not only makes technical jargon tangible, but it also presents technical concepts from a business lens.”

I’ve worked in SaaS customer success and implementation for years, and it was always a struggle to find resources to boost my technical acumen that were neither too high level nor way too in-depth for non-developers - until I found the SaaS Savvy course. It is tailored to the needs of people like me, who work at the intersection of business and technology, and need to confidently interface with both customers and technical resources as a trusted business advisor and functional product expert.

The course not only makes technical jargon tangible, but it also presents technical concepts from a business lens. I am better able to dive into customization options, contextualize my consultations with the knowledge of how SaaS works, and even make basic API calls. This course has been a total game changer, and I cannot recommend the course to professionals in the success and professional services world enough! Â
