“Working with Guillaume was incredible for both me and the company. It helped me transition from a founder who knew some sales to one who was confident as a salesperson and later on sales leader. Guillaume also was key in crafting the right sales process for us. His expertise helped us go upmarket, close the first clients, allowing us to close significantly larger opportunities. He also greatly contributed in the recruitment of our first hires in the sales team. All in all, Guillaume was a game-changer for our growth!”

“Guillaume is the GOAT! The best decision that I ever took as a founder was to work with Guillaume. Not only he's truly an amazing human being, giving energy and intensity in every call and messages, but he's also committed to truly understand your product and help you shape the sales strategy on the long run. His experiences have been more than valuable and clearly there is a before and after when you're working with him. In the first call with him, he opened the pathway to understand how to make our company scale the first 0-1M while setting up the stepping stones for the next milestones. Can't recommend enough as a technical founder."

“Before working with Guillaume, I saw sales more as an art than a science. We had no sales process or tooling in place. Guillaume made us structure our go-to-market, especially our sales motion, from messaging and pipeline management to objection handling and enterprise sales. Thanks to his coaching, we started closing major deals with top-tier logos and more importantly, doing it faster and more predictably over time.”
