Sales is evolving, and today’s businesses need more than someone who can generate leads, set appointments, or close deals. They need a commercial partner who understands people, strategy, technology, and performance, and knows how to turn those elements into measurable business results. My approach combines sales psychology, commercial strategy, AI-enabled workflows, data-driven decision-making, and meaningful communication to create sales processes that are efficient, scalable, and built for long-term success. I believe great sales is about more than closing deals. It’s about understanding businesses, communicating value effectively, and building genuine relationships that create sustainable commercial growth. With 7+ years of professional experience, I’ve partnered with high-growth businesses and established international organisations across SaaS, technology, recruitment, manufacturing, consulting, real estate, and professional services. My experience spans business development, enterprise sales, account management, customer success, strategic partnerships, entrepreneurship, and legal studies, giving me a well-rounded commercial perspective. What sets me apart is the way I think. Before recommending a solution, I take the time to understand your business, your market, your customers, and your commercial objectives. I’m constantly asking: • How can we strengthen your value proposition? • How can we position your business more competitively? • What sales framework best supports your objectives? • How can we build or refine a sales process that continues delivering value long after our engagement ends? I don’t aim to simply generate revenue. I aim to leave your commercial function stronger, more scalable, and better positioned for long-term success than when I joined. Whether I’m developing new business opportunities, managing strategic accounts, generating qualified leads, building partnerships, refining commercial processes, or supporting customer success, I represent every client with professionalism, credibility, and genuine care. I believe in becoming an extension of your team, not simply another freelancer. If you’re looking for a commercially minded business development professional who combines strategic thinking, modern technology, and hands-on execution to deliver meaningful business outcomes, I’d love to discuss how I can contribute to your commercial success.

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲, Let's be honest to each other from Day one! Most biz-dev guys focus on the process. I focus on the 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 . I believe that people don't buy products; they buy the person who sounds like they know the way out of the burning building. If you want someone to manage a "pipeline," hire a VA.

Treating sales as a transformational science, you will experience more positive growth than anticipated even exponential. Put slow sales to rest... Not long ago I heard someone say, "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional, just wait until you hire an amateur." My previous clients agree with that statement: "Steve was an amazing help in helping us get our outbound sales setup and tested. An extremely talented and experienced sales professional that was a pleasure to work with that we will work with again on other projects. If ROI is important and you have an immediate need let's collaborate on solutions for best results. If you're not sure if your BD/Sales program will succeed, put me on the project. I can typically give you a full viability answer in less than 1 week that may save you many headaches and thousands of wasted dollars. Every project you hire me for deserves a winning strategy. I live to create win-win-win scenarios because it brings you not just new repeat clients but many champion advocates. I am: * Friendly and amiable. * Focused and determined. * Interested and interesting. * Highly resilient and persistent. People tell me, again and again, I am a breath of fresh air. Steve
