About Valentine

What my clients say about me:
"I collaborated with Valentine in a "part-time" format for 3 months.
Her mission's main objective was to audit my sales force and propose a concrete action plan to address weaknesses. Her expertise was an invaluable asset and allowed us to improve both our strategic and operational challenges. Her ability to quickly adapt to the nuances of our sectors and offerings is highly appreciated.
I can only recommend her services! Do you need to surround yourself and rapidly grow your revenue?"


---------

I advise and support companies, SMEs, and startups on their commercial strategy, the keys to its implementation, and the support of business fighters who will make the difference.
With many years of experience in sales as a Business Developer and Sales Director, I have a perfect knowledge of B2B sales and a vision of commercial management that I am eager to transmit and share with my clients.

My driver - To give every chance of success to a good idea by helping it to sell itself, to structure itself, and to use the right tools to develop effectively.
What drives me is your business, people, and organization.

My method - Guide your strategic thinking, think outside the box to perform better, implement operational solutions, free you from certain managerial constraints, identify talent, train and challenge your sales teams, provide them with THE toolbox, and sales mechanics and reflexes.
