You want to sell in France. You don't have a local sales team. And cold outreach from abroad rarely works — wrong tone, wrong channels, wrong contacts.
That's exactly what I fix. And I've earned over 100K on Upwork across 104 projects and 3,380+ hours because I deliver.
I run Adequatis, a French B2B prospecting agency. I handle everything: target list building, personalized outreach, follow-up sequences, and prospect qualification — so your team only spends time on real sales conversations, not cold calls into the void.
Who I work with: International companies (Europe, Asia, North America) entering the French market. Past clients in real estate, insurance brokerage, career services, and tech.
What I deliver: Qualified decision-makers booked directly in your calendar. Full transparency on every message sent. A process guarantee — I own the prospecting, you own the closing.
How we start — zero risk: 10-hour test mission (€500). In 2 weeks, you see exactly how I work, who responds, and whether the French market is ready for your offer. Then you decide.
