Antwerp, Flemish Region, Belgium
Raised in an old school sales environment (you know, cold calling and presenting the nicest slide decks). I believe some of the skills learned then are still highly applicable today, but the B2B world changed dramatically and other approaches are much more effective. For me, combining the winning mentality of the past with the knowledge you can reverse the sales cycle through thought leadership today is the golden key to succes in B2B sales & marketing. Skills : ★ Development of Sales and B2B marketing strategy and tactics ★ Sales negotiations | Creating the best value propositions ★ People Management | Open and direct communicator | Transparancy is key ★ Digital and Analytical I have a large network in Belgium and The Netherlands, in various industries but mostly centered around Media, Tech, Retail, Consumer Electronics and large recruiters. Some of the clients I worked with : ★ Banking : KBC, ING, Aion ★ Telco : Proximus, Telenet ★ Electronics : Samsung , Lenovo, HP ★ Retail : Mediamarkt, Bol.com , Coolblue ★ Recruitment : NMBS , Electrabel, Colruyt Passionate about running and mountainbiking
