What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

I was feeling lost when I moved from tech into sales earlier this year. Six months later I have a real pipeline. I brought in the most important project at my company and got the best possible performance review. Valentin is most of the difference. The transition was harder than I expected, and he closed the gap on two fronts. The mindset first: what reply rates actually look like, why dry spells aren't a personal failure, when to walk away from a bad-fit account even if it's a name you want. Then the structure: how to tier a territory, how to sequence outreach, how to qualify hard and fast, how to be direct with a prospect without being aggressive. What made all of it click was his own experience in a very similar industry. Nothing arrived as generic sales theory. Every idea came with context, real examples of how it played out with buyers like mine, so I never had to translate advice from some other market into my own. That saved me months. His approach to conversations is entirely his own. It's tied to who he is, but it still transferred, and it gave me clarity in how I plan and in how I actually talk to people. Thank you Valentin!

I asked Valentin for help in lead generation for my business. He's helped me a lot with structure, approach, and even offer creation. I'm not continuing with the mentorship because, as a technical founder, I need to focus now on product development. However, I count on Valentin to help me again in the future to refine offers and even train my own salespeople in the future.

Valentin definitely knows sales. And for me, more importantly, knows about frameworks and methodologies. In short, he's got the experience and he's got the knowledge. I'm in the Tech sector and I also appreciate that Valentin is actually selling IT SaaS and knows the industry quite well.
