About

*UPDATE* - Fully booked until February. Set up an intro call if you'd like to start working together in a few weeks.

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!

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!!!!

I was looking for a mentor who could guide me from being an SDR to becoming a high-performing Account Executive in the SaaS space. I've really enjoyed the systematic approach Kaan follows, yet always bringing up new topics to work on as well as listening to skill gaps you see yourself. He can review operational activities, but also support strategising over a deal and making your (internal) brand in the SaaS world. For me, the main results have been: - Promoting to Sr. SDR & AE in one year; Kaan gave me the right pushes to reach my (short-term) potential - Adopted a 'can always be better' mindset; discussing major achievements Kaan will always push further - The above results and also the general experience make me wish for a long collaboration with Kaan!

My experience with Kaan until now has been great. I took time to consider if a mentor was right for me and took a chance on Kaan after a very smooth intro call. In my opinion Kaan takes balances his approach between autonomy for the candidate and guidance from Kaan's side, which for me couldn't be more helpful. During my time with Kaan I promoted twice and he pushes me to challenge myself continuously!

Kaan is simply great at what he does. His approach has the right mix of frameworks, building a personalized approach to improve performance, highlighting strengths and working on weaknesses, and ad-hoc support when needed on both strategy and tactical tips - on anything from prospecting to customer success. My colleagues/manager noticed my improvement and of course I can notice it as well and I'm really happy with it. Last but not least, this mentorship is great value for money, given the extent of the support I get from Kaan.

I'm having a great experience with Kaan - I can already see improvement in my sales calls after a few weeks! Kaan is focusing on building my "sales DNA" - he is very prepared on techniques and frameworks and tailors our work to the specific situations I face. I like that he follows a structure for our mentorship cycle but leaves plenty of room for flexibility and can adapt to my needs. I am really satisfied with the mentorship so far, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get advice from a seasoned sales person.
