Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t.
I’m Aryan Desai — I work in sales & marketing, but what I’m most proud of is how I approach challenges.
If you’re building something ambitious and want someone who shows up, executes, and treats growth like a game, we might be a good fit.

Why I’ll Win Wherever I Go
Coachability
I wasn’t always great at taking feedback — sometimes I’d cling to my way of doing things. Now, I see feedback as the fastest way to level up. If there’s a better way, I’ll try it before the day’s over.
Execution
If something’s worth doing, I’d rather be halfway through it than still debating it. Action first, tweaks later.
Resilience
I’ve had projects crash, deals fall through, and entire plans dissolve overnight. I take a breath, learn what I can, and keep moving — because standing still has never helped me recover.
High Energy
I bring momentum into a room. People work better when the energy’s good, and I make sure that happens.
My Journey (So Far)
Moved to Canada
New country, no network, no local work history. Everything was unfamiliar — and that was the point.
🢃
Started Freelancing
Picked up the phone and cold-called over 2,000 local businesses in Toronto, trying to book meetings to sell them lead generation services. Landed four clients, but nothing permanent or long-term. That’s when I realized I needed a role that could teach me sales and leadership properly.
🢃
Sales & Marketing Role
Joined an almost-startup with very little funding and no playbook. I took the role to learn sales and leadership from the inside out. In a setup like that, you don’t just do your job — you wear every hat in the room. I started on the phones, learned the scripts, and figured out how to adapt them when they didn’t work.
🢃
Promoted & Hired My First Employees
Hiring people was the easy part. Leading them well? That took more trial and error than I’d like to admit — and taught me that leadership is 90% setting clear expectations.
🢃
Failed Hard
I let my team down. I didn’t give them the clarity or structure they needed to succeed, and I owned the fallout. It was a painful but necessary wake-up call on what real leadership demands.
🢃
Rebuilt & Succeeded
Applied the lessons, fixed the systems, and saw the results I’d been aiming for from the start.
🢃
Business Closed (Licensing Issues)
This one was out of my control. The real skill was adapting quickly and deciding what to do next instead of sitting in frustration.
🢃
Door-to-Door Sales
I figured I’d learned a bit more about sales and leadership, but I wasn’t sure if I had a truly thick skin. So I took on a door-to-door role — the ultimate pressure test. Right now, I’m working to become the top performer as fast as possible.
The Lessons That Sticked
Life’s a game — I’m here to level up.
I treat my career like a video game: every challenge is XP, every failure is a respawn, and the goal is to max out my character.
Set expectations or set yourself up to fail.
People can’t hit a target they can’t see. Whether it’s with a team, a client, or myself — clear expectations change the outcome.
Momentum matters.
When you move fast, you figure things out faster. I’d rather improve in motion than wait for perfect conditions.

Where I’m Headed (and Who I’m Looking For)
I’m looking for opportunities where I can:
Work with A-players — people who push each other to level up constantly
