Results-driven sales manager with expertise in international key accounts.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Sales Manager with over 7 years of experience in managing international key accounts and driving revenue growth. Currently, I lead the sales function at Formcentric in Cologne, where I successfully built the sales pipeline from the ground up, achieving sales targets of up to 130%. My strategic approach includes developing tailored sales presentations and pricing structures that have significantly enhanced client acquisition, scaling a €250K account to €2.5M within a year.
Previously, I served as a Client Partner and Account Director at Digitas Germany, where I managed key accounts across five European markets. My leadership of cross-functional teams resulted in winning the best-selling team award in 2024 and increasing customer satisfaction by 30%. I am passionate about market development and complex negotiations, and I thrive in environments that challenge my skills in client retention and satisfaction.
