The Genesis of a Game-Changing Solution
In the competitive world of startup sales, consistency is king. Yet, many founders and sales professionals struggle to maintain discipline and momentum. This is the challenge that SalesGecko, a Paris-based B2B software startup founded in 2024, aims to solve.
The Problem: Sales Procrastination
Technical founders Bora Kizil and Julien Muller recognized a critical pain point: sales teams often falter not due to a lack of knowledge, but because of inconsistent action. After investing thousands in sales courses and coaching, they discovered that success hinges on building the right habits.
The Solution: AI-Powered Gamification
SalesGecko is more than just a CRM—it’s a motivational platform designed to transform sales into an engaging, disciplined process. By combining artificial intelligence with gamification, the startup creates a unique approach to sales productivity.
Key Features
- AI-driven sales assistance
- Gamification elements like badges and leaderboards

Inspiration: Learning from Duolingo
Drawing inspiration from Duolingo’s successful habit-building model, SalesGecko applies similar principles to sales. The platform turns monotonous sales tasks into rewarding experiences, making progress feel achievable and enjoyable.
The Vision: Four Years Ahead
By 2028, SalesGecko envisions itself as a global leader in sales enablement. The company plans to:
- Expand to thousands of startups worldwide
