Over the past 10 years, I've worked in France's main professional structures(Big Four, Major Group, World Bank, or international organization)Some key examples: PwC France, BNP Paribas, Side or the Swile unicorn (Next 40/Frenchtech)

These experiences have given me the ability to adapt to any environment.Having been involved in public life for almost 10 years, I have been able to participate in and work with numerous political figures or their teams during key electoral events (presidential elections, municipal elections, legislative elections).

I now help employees and entrepreneurs acquire the persuasion techniques of the world's most powerful men and women in sales.

I created the "Prospect in 3H" training course and already helped more than 100 people  in 2023 in France and 6 countries.

Hervé works with a range of ambitious organisations in FR and UK who want to raise the level of their sales execution. Typically, these organisations are doing well, yet they are convinced they can do even better both in terms of volume and magins and are looking for ideas to do so.

There are typically three main issues they face which justifies a conversation:

1- They are not happy with their sales ratios, both leading and lagging KPIs. There are various issues they have identified. For example a lack of robust methodology leading to a lot of improvisation, they are not happy by too much negotiations eating up their margins, their forecasts are often missed or they identified differing performance from one contributor to another one.

2- They are worried about lead generation. They have a good product or a good service but not a regular stream of new opportunities. They have noticed their teams struggle to pick up the phone, they are hiding behind Linkedin or they're not sure what to say to new prospects.

3- They have made poor recruitment decisions that have cost them a substantial amount of money both in salaries and missed opportunities. And they want to put in place a want to build 92% predictable process to hire A-Player.

Results do vary depending on the focus the leadership has but some examples are acquisition raised by +33% YoY, top of the funnel activity by +66% or raise the average ticket size by 5.
