Unite Your Sales & Engineering Teams
TO DRIVE REAL REVENUE GROWTH
When your teams aren’t aligned, growth stalls. I help industrial sales organizations bridge the gap, improve communication, and sell smarter with strategies that actually work in the real world.
OE9T helps industrial organizations bridge the gap between sales and engineering through practical, real-world sales strategy, interactive speaking engagements, and operational insight designed to improve communication, performance, and long-term growth.
40+ YEARS OF SALES EXPERIENCE
The Problem Usually ISN’T Just Sales
Sales teams feel like engineering does not understand customer realities.
Engineering teams feel like sales overpromises or lacks technical understanding.
Leadership feels stuck in the middle, trying to drive growth while managing frustration between departments.
Meanwhile:
Products become harder to position
Communication slows down
Teams operate in silos
Customers feel the disconnect
Revenue opportunities are lost
Most organizations do not have a people problem; they have an alignment problem.
OE9T was built to help industrial teams work together more effectively so they can sell smarter, communicate better, and grow with greater confidence.

Real-World Sales Strategy for Industrial Organizations

I want to help your team operate as one.
Uniting your sales & engineering departments is your biggest lever to driving smarter growth.
Mike Lucie, Founder
My goal has always been to grow in everything I do personally and professionally. That extends to my family and friends as well. They know I’m always in their corner.
I strive to enjoy every moment of life and embrace the understanding that there will be both good and bad moments. Because of my zest for life, exercising has always been high on my priority list.
I have a love for public speaking and a true passion for reading anything and everything. I find that these two areas combined are what fuel me to teach with great energy to be teaching my audience something new.
I have traveled A LOT during my career, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than going to a new or an old city each week to try to figure out all of the hidden gems.
I have a deep admiration for art and have been fascinated by seeing what people have created.
When I’m not jet-setting, I plan on learning to speak Spanish and to play a new instrument!
