About Salman Farooqi

I help B2B SaaS companies reduce deal approval time and prevent revenue leakage by building automated deal desk workflows.With experience across Accounts Receivable, enterprise revenue operations, and deal desk automation at IBM, I’ve seen how manual approvals delay revenue and create friction between Sales, Finance, and Legal.I specialize in:• Deal approval workflow automation• Pricing validation systems (Excel macro-based controls)• SharePoint-based routing & tracking systems• Revenue visibility dashboards• Contract-to-cash process improvementPreviously, I recovered $3M+ in high-risk receivables and supported enterprise contract-to-cash operations — giving me direct exposure to how delayed approvals impact revenue timing.My focus is simple:Reduce approval delays.Improve revenue visibility.Strengthen deal governance.If your deal desk process still relies on Slack threads, email approvals, and spreadsheet trackers — there’s likely revenue stuck in your pipeline.
