About

I’m Austin Buhl, the founder and CEO of Salestrics. I’m building an AI-native business operating system that brings CRM, email, calendar, and workflow automation into one unified workspace for startups and growing teams. I started Salestrics because I was tired of how fragmented modern sales and operations tools are. My goal is to replace that chaos with a single, intelligent system that actually helps teams move faster and close more deals. I’m building Salestrics from East Tennessee.

Fundraising tracker? Spreadsheet. Early pricing models? Spreadsheet. Half the "analytics" I do before something becomes a real dashboard? A messy .xlsx I delete later.
