About Noemie

Passionate about psychoanalysis, I analyze the purchasing levers and psychological barriers of my interlocutors to align my strategy in real-time.
Having performed and generated millions of euros in completely opposite sectors—from IT solutions and cybersecurity to construction, through solar energy, energy brokerage, and mass retail—has proven one thing to me: **an effective sales method is universal**.
It depends on a deep understanding of people, not the product.
My **9 years of experience in B2B are guided by a taste for complex challenges and structuring**.
1. At 19, I joined JDC Midi-Pyrénées as the youngest sector manager in the organization to manage payment solutions. A baptism by fire in full sales cycles, from field prospecting to strategic closing (R2/R3), which forged my autonomy and my ability to defuse complex situations.
2. At 21, I chose to take on a major challenge by becoming the first employee of a company at its launch. For a year and a half, I conducted high-level negotiations, ultimately securing a major agreement: the full national referencing of our products at GiFi, generating 1.8 million euros in revenue. Subsequently, I orchestrated a strategic partnership with the European leader in CBD to deploy our ranges on a large scale.
3. Building on these successes, I then assisted one of the founding partners in co-building a new project: Unisales France.
I now master every lever of commercial growth.
I currently work with executives to structure their teams, optimize their sales cycles, and achieve a new level of growth. Let's meet to turn your ambitions into results.
I have an incalculable amount of exploitable B2B data and I am capable of creating custom data based on the strategy established for my clients.
