About Julien

I help SME executives structure and manage their commercial development to transform their growth into sustainable performance.

Many companies have a solid product and a real market, but their sales organization remains fragile: growth often relies on the executive, sales methods are poorly formalized, and sales performance is difficult to manage.

I intervene as an outsourced commercial director / Head of Sales, with both a strategic and operational approach: structuring sales processes, implementing management indicators, and supporting sales teams in the field.

My goal is to transform an often informal commercial dynamic into a structured, managed, and reproducible commercial system.

During my assignments, I have notably contributed to:
• increasing sales by +125% in 12 months for an automotive SME
• managing a network of over 700 B2B partners
• developing several key account partnerships (Ford, Point S, Leclerc Auto, Autodistribution)

I work with SMEs and companies in the structuring or acceleration phase, who wish to professionalize their sales organization and secure their growth.

If you wish to structure your commercial development or take your sales organization to the next level, let's talk.
