👉Are you struggling with your enterprise/key accounts or partner & distributor acquisition in your home market or when entering new markets such as Europe, the US, or the Middle East? I help startups, SMEs, and PE-backed companies with a B2B or B2B2C business model craft sales strategies that grow revenue fast, build a sales team, and acquire & manage enterprise/key accounts/partners (as an individual contributor building relationships with a high LVT as well) in their home market or new markets. A foot in blue-chip corporations (Coca-Cola system, Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), and another in startups (SaaS, AI, marketplaces) with a focus on B2B sales and B2B2C describe my career. See below examples of challenges and how I can help the companies to overcome them👇 👨‍💻Tech Startups - Idea stage GTM | Country Launcher I launch new markets, define the go-to-market strategy, and land the first clients and customers for marketplaces and SaaS while in discovery mode, getting insights for product development. 🤜 I launched a British multisided marketplace and SaaS tool in Iberia as Country Director, having defined the go-to-market strategy. As an individual contributor, I signed the first users, landed the first customers in two weeks, and closed the first corporate client in two months. 👉 I have helped an AI Chrome extension from a US startup develop a scrappy GTM for user acquisition, having conducted Customer Development to improve the PLG strategy. 👉 I improved the positioning & partner management processes of a German hardware startup. 👉 I developed the GTM for a Spanish biotech startup. 🏢 International Expansion, Enterprise Sales & Corporate Sales👇 I set up sales departments, and as an individual contributor, I own the full sales cycle and land new clients.
