About me

I have many years of experience in sales at large successful customer-oriented companies and in the last 15 years independently with my own company Growth Coach.

I know how challenging it is to run your own business. I also know what it feels like to have to put your house on a second mortgage to keep your business going. Important here is that I know through experience what this means in relation to making complex and difficult decisions, prioritizing objectives, strategies, planning and optimizing motivation, skills and inspiration of the sales teams and the individuals who are part of the teams.

I also spent 21 years of my career abroad and understand the subtleties of other “business” cultures. It is particularly useful that I can work with English, French, Dutch and German-speaking clients in their own language.

It is my mission to let companies get the absolute most out of their sales teams and processes. In a sustainable, attentive but above all inspiring and motivating way.

My motto is, “Everything that gets attention grows”. Of course, this also applies to the competencies and self-confidence of your sales teams.

With my 15 years of experience in sales at large companies and through my work as an entrepreneur, I can see better than anyone where the specific challenges and opportunities lie in the sales skills of your people and how they can be optimized in a practical and sustainable way.

I have met Carl as a dedicated partner during our Comstor Mentor Program (CMP) with Cisco. As a result of his enthousiastic mentorship, we also plotted several sales coaching programs within DITP to become more succesfull in “Value Selling”. His style of mentorship is convincing and with dedication. Due to his sessions our company transformed succesfully to long-term relationships with customers!

You are doing an excellent job on these webinars. I´m really impressed, how you involve everyone, not overstressing delegates with information but making relevant clear statements.
The Feedback from my English speaking colleages goes in the same direction. SO, not only my positive impression !!
