About

I currently run my own sales consulting & coaching company. When you're ready, I can help you to overcome your most pressing sales challenges.

I specialize in turbocharging commercial teams and am passionate about helping people get better at SALES, a seriously misunderstood craft.

In the past, I've helped over 200 companies from all sectors worldwide to deploy LinkedIn Sales Navigator and generate more revenue through digital selling. Carrying that know-how and hard-earned experience to my practice, I had the pleasure of working with founders and sales professionals to help them elevate their sales craft.

I do 1:1 and group sales coaching and fractional leadership roles but people also reach out to me for advice on:

-- Sales Automation
-- Sales Playbook Design
-- CRM Optimization
-- Sales Enablement
-- Lead Generation
-- Sales Team Management
-- Outbound Strategy
-- Customer Lifecycle Management
-- Monetization
-- Go-to-Market Strategy
-- International Expansion

All of this is good and great but at the end of the day; all engagements come down to creating tangible outcomes and transformation. Below are some of the common ones my mentees/coachees/corporate clients experience as a result:

- Greater profitability
- Higher deal sizes
- Improved conversion rates
- Better sales confidence & process
- Stronger client & partner relations
- Success in scaling & expanding their team/business
- Higher target attainment & talent retention

I challenge and coach you to design strategies, habits, and overall a much more value-driven sales process to help you (or your business) perform better than you did last quarter while forging more meaningful customer relationships. This happens through a mix of performance coaching, training, tactical advice, and hands-on support.

Sounds like your cup of tea? Then, I'm happy to connect!

I've been working with Kaan for six months now. He's been a really great mentor not only in sales but overall in helping me grow my business, providing me with advice, and just being a great friend that I can always come to with any questions and ask for any input. He's extremely reliable and will take the time outside of our sessions to review any call recordings and respond to any messages promptly, which I really appreciate. Over the past six months, Kaan has really helped me a lot to improve my confidence in sales calls and helped me refine my sales pitch, alongside simply helping me grow my business. Would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a mentor or a guide in business or sales.

Kaan has been a great mentor so far. Extremely valuable points and feedback that have helped me grow as both a business owner and as a sales rep. Always a pleasure to talk to -- would highly recommend.

I chose Kaan as a mentor due to his ability to ask the right and hard questions, which people often avoid. That ability stood out in our first intro call, and it's something I was missing. In 6 months, I believe I've progressed enormously in it as a salesperson, particularly as a deal closer. Kaan is a hands-on coach, ready to review the sales script, customer calls, and pipe review to ensure results. He is also mastering various sales tactics and techniques, which makes him a great coach for B2B sales, B2C sales in scale-up, or a Head of Sales role. I strongly recommend at least trying working with Kaan, as you will seek impactful sales results shortly.

Kaan has been an amazing mentor! He really takes the time to understand your situation and helps guide you in the right direction. When things don’t work out, he’s quick to help you pivot and figure out a better approach. You can tell he’s focused and truly cares about helping you succeed. What makes Kaan different is that he doesn’t just give you generic advice or send you to watch YouTube videos. He knows what’s going on and focuses on your personal growth. He understands that everyone learns and grows in their own way, and he works with you to figure out what works best for you. I also told him I needed more accountability, and he immediately found a way to make that happen. He knows what motivates me, and I love that when I suggest something, he’s honest and shares his perspective. He reminds me if there’s an approach that might work better for my learning or work style. There’s never any judgment with Kaan—only support and open communication. It’s been such a great experience working with him, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a mentor who’s truly dedicated and helpful!

He provided amazing insign. We are creating action items and spend time really breaking down where i need to focus to grow. I was originally struggling to follow up and get sales and now I have a great plan for closing. I have made more contacts and follow ups in the last three months than I have in a year total! Kaan is always really kind and considerate. He explains things well and really gets you thinking instead of just giving vague ideas(like other mentors have in the past). He took the time to understand what i need and tailored to that. Honestly best choice I ever made. I have worked with other mentors and they all just go off thier guide sheet and say watch this video... Kaan is all about the personal connection and each call is based on my needs for that week but he also reminds me off the bigger picture and how i need to focus on past sales or projects as well. So thank you!!!!
