Entrepreneurial business coaching practice, Europe and North America (remote).

It was a joint venture with Rick Roberge, renowned as the "RainMaker Maker" in the USA. Father of Mark Roberge, ex-CRO of Hubspot, Rick Roberge taught me his practice of effective coaching for 2 years as he did with Carole Mahoney in 2015, the founder of Unbound. It's an old-fashioned 7/7 job focused on relationships.

We worked to help salespeople, solopreneurs, and millennial entrepreneurs succeed in their life projects. My clients were entrepreneurs, founders, or salespeople in Slovenia, the USA, the UK, Belgium, and France in startups in seed or scale phases.

Rick said: "Crême de la crême!"

I led the customer acquisition business unit for two years. As 7Speaking's leader for global sales development, my directive has been to:

● Make 7Speaking sales transformation successful for and under M&A program.

● Exceed all Sales Development goals on New logos: from VSMB to Enterprise/SBF120.

Achievements:

● My team extended from 4 SDRs to 26 people in 18 months: Marketing, Ops, SDRs, AEs.

● Estimated +15% valuation contribution for the company to be sold 17M€.

● New Business Contribution increased by +39% of total revenue growth.

The founder's words, Mayeul Foisil:

"Pierre was a real asset for the valuation of our scale-up which eventually joined the Educastream group. He has greatly contributed to the growth of our turnover through his ability to generate meetings for sales. I was impressed by his ability to build a team from scratch, to onboard, manage and grow inexperienced recruits.

Pierre is open-minded about his job and is always on the lookout for ways to improve his performance.

Beyond his professionalism, Pierre is a very rich person in human terms, he has a great relational intelligence and he has therefore integrated very easily into our organisation. I hope that our paths will cross again."
