I have been working in the automotive sector for over 20 years, the toughest branch when it comes to price, unique selling point and speed of development.
I was able to get to know and develop the sales business from scratch. As a career changer, I started my professional career at Elkamet in Biedenkopf immediately after finishing my studies. There I was able to use my personal strengths and developed a new business area from a "sales one-man show". Many personal development steps were promoted by high-class external coaches, be it strategic thinking or consistent pricing policy.
Most recently, I led the mature sales and project department with a committed team as a commercial manager and authorized officer.
From a local supplier for "a lot" to a global player and world market leader in the automotive niche - I was able to actively control, accompany and expand these changes. The focus was always on a product with a unique selling proposition that could be offered at an optimized price. In the past few years, I have initiated change processes, as a result of which, as a team, new products have been developed and markets opened up with disruptive approaches.
In addition to practical experience, I am advanced training and can therefore support you even better:
Workshops – Rhetoric & Body Language / Time Management / Change Management / Leadership and Cooperation
Seminars – Difficult Price Negotiations / Legal Basics for Managing Directors & Board Members / Rhetoric / Leading with Target Agreement / Contract Law for Automotive Suppliers / Power Pricing
Qualifications – facilitator of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method and materials / currently: training Agile Sales Coach
Use my skills and "tools" for your company, for your project! I look forward to your inquiry and your task.
