How the Deal was Done | Enterprise Sales Podcast S2 Ep 3: Jamal Reimer, From Three $50M+ Deals at Oracle to Global CEO
Jamal Reimer is one of the most recognized voices in enterprise selling. While at Oracle, he closed three separate $50M+ transactions with major international firms - and has since built a global community, coaching practice, and an AI platform around helping senior sellers engineer deals at that scale.
He popularized the term "mega deal" long before it became a LinkedIn buzzword, and his book Mega Deal Secrets tells the unfiltered story of how he closed his first one, coming out of years of mediocrity and missed quotas.
This episode covers the mental and tactical shift from run-rate selling to strategic selling, what actually happened inside Jamal's first $50M deal, how the best sellers in 2026 are using AI differently than everyone else, and why financial fluency is now the most underleveraged skill in enterprise sales.

Enterprise Sellers Community:A global network of senior strategic sellers focused on closing seven and eight-figure deals. Weekly wins, peer accountability, and shared playbooks. This is the community referenced throughout the episode where members regularly share business cases with eight digits on them and pricing slides that go into the millions. Jamal and Matthew both credit this community as a key accelerant for thinking bigger and borrowing conviction from others who've done it.https://www.enterprisesellers.com

Financial Fluency Sessions:Jamal runs free sessions on financial fluency for enterprise sellers.
