Sales is simple, it’s about selling your service or solution to someone. But in today’s world of frameworks, acronyms, and endless tools, it’s easy to get lost.

I’ve spent 12+ years in sales, from closing deals myself to building and leading teams. I’ve opened new markets, scaled a 30-person international team, and helped grow revenue from €200K to 2M in 15 months. The phase I love most? Early-stage SaaS. Most say it’s the hardest. I disagree. With the right structure and strategy, it’s the fastest path to momentum.
