About Adrien

With over 10 years of experience in sales, I support companies in their commercial growth and the optimization of sales processes nationally and internationally. Specializing in acquisition, closing, and managing strategic partnerships with major clients, I have generated over €15M in revenue, raised €1M, and signed contracts with giants like Hermès, Uniqlo, Accor, and Carrefour. My expertise extends across European and international markets, and my method: data-driven, team structuring, and the use of tools like CRMs and automation to boost results.

🎯 Tailored Strategies
I design tailor-made commercial strategies based on in-depth market analysis and targeted segmentation. I structure sales cycles to maximize conversion and retention, with fluid collaboration between Sales, Customer Success, and Product.

🏹 Prospecting & Closing
An expert in prospecting and closing, I employ a consultative and ROI-driven approach to secure strategic contracts. Using BANT, SPIN, and MEDDIC methodologies, I optimize conversion rates and reduce closing time.

⚙️ CRM & Process Structuring
Proficient with tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive, I structure and optimize commercial processes by creating automated workflows to ensure precise opportunity tracking and boost team performance.

⚡ Automation & Growth Sales
Passionate about automation, I use no-code tools like Lemlist, PhantomBuster, and Apollo.io to automate prospecting, nurturing, and customer scoring, thereby accelerating sales cycles while maintaining a personalized approach.

🚀 Goal
My goal: to support companies in their rapid growth, optimize their sales processes, and generate measurable and sustainable results.
