About Stefan

I support medium-sized companies in building up their sales in a structured way and systematically acquiring new customers.

In many companies, sales run alongside day-to-day business, with the result that acquisition is irregular and potential remains untapped. This is exactly where I come in.

I not only work on concepts but also actively support the implementation.

This means:
  • defining clear target customers and approaches
  • structuring sales processes
  • anchoring acquisition in everyday life
  • and providing operational support if needed
The goal is sales that work in everyday life and not just on paper.

Typical areas of focus in my work are:
  • Building structured sales
  • Developing an acquisition system
  • Support in acquiring new customers
  • Preparation and support of sales meetings
  • Sparring for managing directors in sales
I bring over 10 years of experience in B2B sales, from operational acquisition to key account management and leadership responsibility.

If you want to structure your sales more systematically or drive new customer acquisition more effectively, I look forward to hearing from you.
