My sales journey:
I have been in sales since 2009. This whole time I have done A/B testing, studying, observing the best, and taking it all in. I have sold products/services to 24 countries. In 15 years I have met with over 5000 people all around the world, sometimes at an event, sometimes onsite, but mostly online. When I started in sales it was not uncommon that I had 30+ meetings online per week!
I have won over 600 deals during my career. Deals range anywhere from a couple thousand € deals to a Million € transactions.
I have recruited salespeople from many countries to several different companies and I have had the honor and opportunity to lead sales teams of various sizes during my career.
I have successfully conquered new markets, but I have also failed spectacularly. And learned.
I have gone through a burnout process, including a 9-month career break. I know the pressure of sales, but I also know the joys and successes.
All this experience and the love for sales. That makes me a sales artist. 😀 And that inspired me to develop the Servant Sales Framework.
