International Sales Excellence: From Local Success to Global Impact
Doubled sales across 40+ countries as Global Board Member. Now I coach salespeople to navigate cultural complexities that make or break international deals. Because there's a difference between selling abroad and success!
Having led global sales transformations as a Global Executive Board Member overseeing 40+ countries - each of which I personally visited to understand local customers and sales teams - I bring a unique perspective to sales coaching. My experience includes serving as Global Key Account Manager for the entire DaimlerChrysler Group and its alliances, where I navigated complex multi-million euro relationships. My approach goes beyond traditional sales techniques - I help sales professionals understand the critical difference between performing adequately in international markets and truly excelling. Whether you're managing global accounts, building distribution networks across continents, or stepping into your first international sales role, I provide the cultural intelligence that transforms transactions into lasting partnerships.
My certified expertise in Intercultural Management, combined with decades of real-world experience coaching sales teams from Detroit to Tokyo, enables me to help you navigate the invisible dynamics that make or break international deals. I specialize in developing sales professionals who need to work globally, relocate as expats, or join company headquarters as "inpats." From understanding why relationship-building in Asia requires different timing than in America, to knowing when to push for a close versus when patience wins the deal, I help you master the nuanced art of international sales. For example, I recently coached a Fortune 500 marketing executive on global distribution strategy and in turn realized how complex today's industry-overarching sales landscape is and can help you succeed in it.
Industries I have served: Automotive, chemical, bearing, wood, food, marine, oil & gas, steel, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, mining, pulp & paper, textile, rail and wind power.
Countries where I have managed personnel: Canada, US, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, UK, GB, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Turkey, South Africa, India, Vietnam, Thailand, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia.
I do coaching in English, German, French and Spanish language.
