Summary

I am a passionate sales expert with over 10 years of experience in B2B sales, specializing in technical products and services that require explanation. From strategic lead generation and cold calling to closing deals as a closer, I guide the entire sales process – structured, empathetic, and with measurable results.

I help companies present their solutions clearly, understandably, and convincingly – even for highly complex technologies like cybersecurity, automotive, solar & energy technology, as well as SaaS and digital platforms.

What sets me apart:

Native German speaker, fluent in English – I know the nuances, tones, and cultural subtleties that make a difference in the DACH sales market.

Technical insight meets sales expertise: I speak the language of engineers, decision makers, and end users – and translate technical details into real sales arguments.

Holistic sales approach: From initial contact through needs analysis, product demo, and proposal stage to closing and sustainable customer management.

Efficient prospecting & pipeline building: I work analytically, structured, and goal-oriented – with a focus on conversion, not chance.

Results orientation & partnership: I don't just sell products – I solve problems, build trust, and foster long-term relationships.

In recent years, I have had the opportunity to work with clients from various industries – from startups to international corporations – successfully scaling sales processes, opening new markets, and significantly increasing revenue.

My credo: Good sales aren't accidental. They come from truly understanding people, products, and processes – and connecting them with passion.

If you're looking for an experienced sales professional who can make complex technologies understandable, spot opportunities, and close deals: Let's talk. I bring expertise, structure, and enthusiasm – and I make sure your offering reaches the customers it deserves.
