Last position:
Founder, Owner, Sales and Marketing Consultant at Akquise Tower
- Show lots of ideas, inspirations and ways to solutions when it comes to optimizing and innovating sales and marketing.
- Consultant and new-thinker with a very strong service mentality, quick grasp and high level of commitment.
- Family man, athletics coach and hobby cook.
- He lives his ideas and creativity, as well as his constant desire to optimize existing things or create something new, both professionally as a sales and marketing consultant and privately when cooking, baking, mixing cocktails or working on a DIY project.
- More than 15 years of experience in sales and marketing, including 10 years as a manager domestically and internationally.
- Diploma in Business Administration (FH) with a focus on marketing, market research and retail.
- Sales growth despite lockdown: Based on a potential analysis, we worked out the digitization possibilities of the offline offering and implemented them by optimizing the website, setting up an online shop and conducting training measures. The introduction of the digital sales channel ensured the company's survival during Corona.
- More new customers with a small budget: Within the buyer persona workshop, target customer profiles were developed. Based on the profiles, existing marketing measures were optimized and new ideas generated. The approach to leads on-site and online was adapted and the understanding of the target customers' needs improved. This led to more leads, a better conversion rate and more new customers.
- CRM system selection and implementation for sales support: In workshops and internal surveys, sales processes were defined, documented and requirements for a CRM system collected. Based on the data and marketing strategy, vendor selection was guided. After choosing a system, user profiles were created and the rollout supported with training, so the system was quickly used actively and customer contact from lead entry to invoicing could be documented in a GDPR-compliant way.
- More output through new KPIs: After analyzing and documenting the sales process, new KPIs were derived and defined. Together with the teams, we developed transparent controlling that shows each employee in real time their performance compared to the target and the team. This enabled a doubling of team results and overachievement of goals in the first year with the same team size.
- Higher closing rates through process optimization: After analyzing discussions and the needs of customers and employees, we optimized how information was searched for and provided during sales talks. This shortened call times, increased customer satisfaction and closures, and reduced cancellation rates thanks to faster and more appropriate information delivery.

A sales consultant analyzes a company's sales processes, identifies bottlenecks in the pipeline, and implements strategies to boost revenue. They design tailored outbound playbooks, train sales teams, and optimize CRM workflows. Their goal is to build a repeatable, scalable sales machine for the client.
While an account executive focuses on closing individual deals, a sales advisor operates at a strategic level to build the overall sales infrastructure. They design the systems, templates, and strategies that the operational team uses to succeed. Their engagement is typically project-based and focused on long-term scalability.
German companies often hire an external sales expert when launching a new product, entering a new regional market, or experiencing stagnating revenue. Bringing in temporary support is also highly effective during structural reorganizations or when transitioning from transactional sales to enterprise sales.
Most freelance sales consultants work in a hybrid setup. While CRM optimization, strategy development, and market research can easily be handled remotely, critical workshops and initial team onboarding are best conducted on-site at the client office in Germany.
Yes, an interim sales manager often specializes in setting up and customizing CRM platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot. They ensure that your pipeline stages, lead scoring, and automated marketing integrations align perfectly with your actual sales cycle.
A sales strategist operating in the German market typically needs to be fluent in both German and English. German is essential for local market penetration and customer-facing playbooks, while English is required for aligning with international stakeholders and global headquarters.
The success of a freelance commercial consultant is measured by concrete pipeline metrics such as increased lead conversion rates, shortened sales cycles, and improved CRM data quality. Companies also evaluate their impact by the speed and efficiency with which internal teams adopt new sales playbooks.
Look for a sales consultant with a proven track record in your specific industry, whether that is B2B SaaS, manufacturing, or professional services. They should possess deep expertise in modern CRM architecture, strategic sales methodologies, and hands-on experience in scaling sales teams.
