How it works

3 steps to make you close deals on repeat.

01 Deal Room

Work on your live deals together and improve your sales process.

A weekly working session. We sit on your actual deals, stress-test qualification, and level-up the discovery and closing execution.

02 Buyer Intelligence Canvas

Interview your target buyers and uncover what they really think.

A precise map of the buying committee - their economic logic, their fears, their internal politics. Built from interviews with your wins, your losses, and your target buyers.

Decision happens in peer-CISO conversations, not procurement portals. Trust circulates inside the community before any vendor enters the shortlist.

03 The Playbook

Build the playbook that scales the motion beyond the founder.

A playbook with qualification, narrative, objection paths, deal stages. Built from your real deals. The next sales rep you hire ramps in weeks.

ICP & Buying Committee Qualification Framework Discovery Questions Competitive Battlecards Objection Library Stage Gates & Close Plan
ICP & Buying Committee
Target: 200–800 FTE B2B SaaS, EMEA. Champion: VP Eng. Economic buyer: CTO. Blocker: Security.
Discovery Questions
"What happens if you keep the status quo next year?" - surfaces the cost of inaction in one move.
Competitive Battlecards
vs. Competitor X: "How long does it take to get to first value with them?" They need 6 months and a partner. We're live in 6 weeks.
Stage Gates & Close Plan
No proposal without a mutual close plan signed by week 3. Disqualify or escalate.
About

12 years closing complex enterprise deals, launching products into new markets, and building startups.

Q · 01

Why does this practice exist?

Over the past 12 years I observed that founder-led sales doesn't fail at the first deals. It fails at the handoff: the moment the first sales hire arrives, you open a second geography, or a funding round forces the motion to scale. You realise the system only ever lived in your head. The deals you won were won by you, not by a system anyone else can run.

This practice exists to work the deals with you, decode the buyers behind them, and document the motion, before it costs you a hire, a quarter, or a round.

Q · 02

What is the background of the operator?

Engineer turned enterprise seller who spent 12 years building zero-to-one enterprise growth in technical markets.

Navigated 200+ complex enterprise buying committees and sat across the table of 1500+ B2B buyers.

Closed 7-figure deals and advised on 9-figure strategies with enterprises like SAP, NXP, Nokia, Nintendo, Revolut, TeamViewer, PVH, Jabil, Forbo, and SKF.

Pioneered the expansion of a Series A cybersecurity startup from the San Francisco Bay Area into the EU and UK.

Launched a new business unit in 30+ countries, inside a $16B supply chain orchestrator from Hong Kong.

Built a new vertical for an R&D consulting firm from Chicago.

Closed €4M in DACH and Southern Europe in a single year.

Co-founded two ventures, in e-commerce and AI.

Same pattern every time: walk into a new startup, market, or segment, close the deals, and build the playbook.

Q · 03

Why technical founders?

Technical founders sell on substance. That's why you win the first deals, and why the motion doesn't transfer when you step out of the room.

Non-technical sales hires can't replicate substance. They replicate process. My job is to extract what you're doing intuitively and turn it into something repeatable, without flattening it into a generic playbook.

Q · 04

How is this different from a fractional CRO, sales coach, or agency?

A coach teaches theory. A fractional CRO takes your seat. An agency replaces your sales team.

I work the live deals next to you, speak directly to your target buyers, and then write down what we did, so the system outlives both of us.

You stay in charge, but the motion stops depending on you.

Q · 05

Is there a method, or just your opinions?

The method is the synthesis of the frameworks I've used over the years, and the selective application of what works best at each stage.

Sandler, GAP, and Value Selling in discovery, when you're trying to find the real pain underneath the stated one. MEDDPICC keeps qualification honest and works well as the skeleton of the playbook. Challenger in delivery, when the buyer needs to be taught something before they'll buy. Black Swan and the Harvard method run the negotiation. Currently learning Schranner to bring hostage negotiation principles into high-stakes enterprise deals.

I combine these frameworks across three streams:

  • The Deal Room. Weekly two-hour working sessions on your live deals. Supporting your most complex deals and driving up sales execution through a compounding effect.
  • The Buyer Intelligence Canvas. A documented map of your target buying committee, built from win/loss and buyer interviews. Which pains they actually have, who decides, who blocks, what they need to hear, in what order.
  • The Playbook. The documented sales motion, ready to hand off to your first hire.
Q · 06

Why not just hire a VP Sales?

You probably will, eventually. The question is whether you hire one before or after the motion is documented.

Hire before, and you're paying €200K+ to a senior operator whose first job is to reverse-engineer how you sell. Most of them won't. They'll bring their own playbook from their last company, and you'll spend two quarters finding out it doesn't fit your market. Then you replace them.

Hire after, and you're handing them a system on day one. The role becomes execution and scale, not archaeology.

Stop selling on instinct.
Start selling on a system.
