Pre-Sales Consultant

Hi, I'm Karsten.

I like diving deep into complex topics and finding the hidden order that keeps things together.

One of my most amazing side hustles was the Ph.D. thesis in communication science I wrote over the course of nine years developing a theory about the situational influence on decisions about media use. I dug through 1000+ sources and had to organize my findings as I sometimes wrote about my insights years after gaining them.

In my professional career, I have been responsible for IT systems for 20 years in roles such as product owner, sales rep, and consultant both in small and large organizations. Developing and handling IT systems is a matter of organizing information too.

I'm a pro at structuring, organizing, and sharing information. Not only in academics but also the business world. I've conducted market research for mobile phone manufacturers, medical devices, and software companies. The results were used for communication, sales, negotiations, and due diligence processes.

Sharing effective and efficient methods and developing tools is my passion. I'm working on, writing about, and consulting on gathering market information and handling it efficiently, especially for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and small teams who need to be efficient.

Can I help you too? Let's get in contact to discuss ways to work together.

American Textile Company

I brought a wealth of experience from my time at Kimberly-Clark and ACNielsen to help American Textile Company embrace and implement fact based selling as part of their overall sales and marketing strategy. I helped the organization understand the power of category and space management and implemented a category management and business analysis department.  Our team integrated strategic planning discussions, key business analysis, marketing insights and consumer insights as part of the regular selling process.  This later evolved to an integration of shopper marketing becoming an integral part of the category management team.  

We serviced most major retailers in North America including Walmart, Target, Kohls, Bed Bath and Beyond, Kmart, Sears and dozens of others.  Collectively, my team helped manage retail sales and sales strategy for over 28,000 retail locations.  

Our sales and category management approach was new to the textile industry and allowed us to grow the business twofold over a five year period.

AFI generated sales of $4.2 million within it's first full calendar year of business. The business grew from an in-home operation to the second largest online retailer, in the world, in it's niche in under two years.

My day-to-day responsibility was to manage the entire sales, marketing and technical side of our e-commerce business including marketing strategy and implementation, planning, assortment decisions, server/software maintenance, ROI tracking and implementation.

I oversaw all website design, content and implementation of the total user experience. We utilized site metrics/analytics to create a better customer experience and implemented targeted marketing initiatives. We maintained quarterly, online competitive reporting, marketing analysis and planned/managed all media buying including targeted email marketing campaigns, banner ad marketing campaigns, online PPC marketing campaigns, marketing data analysis, ROI analysis and PPC bid management.

I also implemented and oversaw a site wide SEO project, initiated online customer service program design and implementation, developed and implemented a marketing and branding strategy that catapulted AFI to be within the top 500 sellers in the entire eBay marketplace and the top 10 sellers within the sporting goods category.

At ACNielsen I managed a team of 6 market research analysts that consulted Heinz USA’s Frozen Food Division on all market research related to brand marketing and strategic planning decisions.

We increased ACNielsen’s Heinz Frozen Foods account revenue nearly two-fold in first year as a team.  One of our more memorable accomplishments was discovering, analyzing and countering two very important competitive trends that helped refocus and defend the Bagel Bites brand.  

Our team managed all market research projects covering pricing, assortment, consumer attitude and usage, competitive sales and marketing analysis, category trends, consumer trends and influenced marketing initiatives, packaging decisions, product positioning and new product development.
