Who Called It Sales and Not Corporate Swayamvar?
Ask any salesperson about their favorite deal, and you’ll hear stories filled with drama, suspense, and that ultimate adrenaline rush when the customer finally says “Yes.” Whether it’s a quick decision, an 8-month chase, or a prospect resurfacing after years, sales often feels like sending out a rishta daily and waiting to see if the other side is interested—or still soch rahe hain.
At Badho, we’ve learned that sales is about adapting, reading the room, and spotting opportunities in unpredictable places. And of course, every deal has its own story.
Unique Features of Sales at Badho
At Badho, we believe in tried-and-tested methods, but experience shows us that business often comes from the most unexpected interactions. Sometimes it’s a meeting room, sometimes a flight, and sometimes—quite literally—the restroom.
One story that stands out is of a fast-growing tech company trying to close with one of the top three banks in the US. Despite countless follow-ups and presentations, the deal stalled—until, by sheer chance, their Head of Customer Success ended up sitting next to the bank’s VP on a five-hour flight. By touchdown, the deal was sealed.
It’s this unpredictability that keeps the excitement alive.

Our own experiences at Aahaar 2025 in New Delhi reinforced the same truth: sales magic often sparks in the unlikeliest moments. Here are three real stories from our team:

Challenges Along the Way
These encounters remind us that sales isn’t always smooth. Skeptical prospects, awkward moments, or conversations that veer off course are part of the journey. The challenge is to stay alert, keep listening, and turn even the toughest questions—or the strangest situations—into opportunities.
