Kaan in a few words
I specialize in turbocharging commercial teams. Over the course of my career, I've helped over +200 companies from all sectors worldwide to sell more and better.
If you're looking for a telemarketer or a transactional seller then I am not your guy, sorry. I design strategies, processes, training, and sales collateral that make your sales team function and perform better than they did last quarter while building more meaningful customer relationships & higher value engagements.
I run my own sales consulting & coaching company. I do a lot of general sales consulting and fractional BD & Partnerships roles but people also reach out to me for:
--Sales Automation
--CRM Optimization
--Sales Enablement Content / Sales Kits
--Pitch Decks / Presentations
--Lead Generation
--Commission Structures
--Sales Turnaround Management / Operational Turnaround
-- Customer Validation & Acquisition
-- Monetization
-- Go-to-Market Strategy
-- International Expansion
In my previous full-time sales roles, I;
--- Became the highest total-revenue generating rep
--- Executed the biggest enterprise deal in EMEA
--- Won the Deal of Year Award and delivered keynotes at client sales events
---Became the first sales rep to ever hit targets while working on Growth Markets
I believe in challenging the status quo, driving all-around accountability, and putting customer value above all.
