Consultant

SEA Esports and Gaming Expert | Launched League of Legends and VALORANT Esports | I help gaming professionals get career fulfillment with coaching

I help Gaming Professionals level up their careers and secure higher-paying roles.

Most of my clients are struggling with:

- Not getting recognized for their achievements
- Getting underpaid compared to their skills and market value
- Not knowing how to get a raise (but want one)
- Being unable to progress their career forward

And so, I take them through a process to land them at a higher salary role:

1. Understand your personal impact on the business
2. Define what you want in a new role
4. Create your own growth plan
5. Design a business case for your own growth/promotion
6. Build strategic alliances with stakeholders and decision makers
7. Execute and iterate

Using this process, I've helped 30+ gaming professionals level up:

- Helped David secure a 20% salary increase with 3 job offers in 2 months
- Guided Jeff to a senior producer role with a 15% raise in 4 months
- Assisted Zach in landing a director position at a studio 2 months post-layoff

🌟 Are you ready to turn your LinkedIn profile into a client magnet? Let me show you how. 🌟

Hello! I'm Patrick, and with over two decades of corporate career and sales experience, I've learned a thing or two about making connections that count. 

My journey has taken me around the globe, working with diverse teams to not only meet but exceed sales goals through strategic LinkedIn engagement.

In 2020, I leaped into the entrepreneurial world, creating my own business from scratch—a decision that has been nothing short of exhilarating! 

It’s been a rollercoaster of learning, growth, and, most importantly, empowering others like you to achieve greatness.

🎯 Mission: 
My goal is simple but ambitious—empower you and your team to master LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. I’m passionate about transforming your online presence into a powerful tool for collaboration, brand enhancement, and sales success. Let's make your LinkedIn work as hard as you do!

♟️ Approach: 
Say goodbye to outdated theories and hello to dynamic, hands-on learning. My workshops and training sessions are anything but cookie-cutter. They're designed to be engaging, practical, and tailored to fit into your busy lifestyle, whether online or offline. We'll focus on what really matters—real results, real fast.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Stepping away from the corporate world was my biggest gamble. The challenge of building a consistent pipeline of leads and opportunities seemed daunting at first. But here’s the twist—I never stopped posting, engaging, or innovating. I developed a Lead System that not only worked for me but has since been successfully implemented by my clients, ranging from global corporates to ambitious solopreneurs.

Why Work With Me?
If you're tired of the grind and ready to make your LinkedIn presence effortlessly bring in more clients, I'm your guy. Whether you're looking to enhance your personal brand, increase visibility, or drive more sales, I'm here to make it happen with authenticity and fun. 

Let’s unlock your full potential together. 

Ready to start this journey with me? 🚀

P.S. I am based in Switzerland, and I don’t bite 😁 we can communicate in 🇨🇭🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇬🇧🇫🇷
