We help founders and Influencers increase revenue | Entrepreneur | Podcast Host | ex-Swappie

👋 Hi, I’m a founder and builder of things.
My superpowers: business operations, strategy, and leadership.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve built cross-border teams of 50+ people and launched multiple ventures from scratch, and helped tons of operators.

I also failed tons and lost a bunch of money. 
Rebounded. 
Restarted. 

One thing I’ve come to understand about myself:
I’m really good at the “next customer” and “initial traction” stages.

I might not be your guy for scaling to $10M,
but if you’re stuck in the “what do I offer” or “how do I get my first 5 clients” phase,
I’m the person who can push you to that next level.

If you’re a solo builder trying to move from lost to momentum,

DM me the word “CLARITY” — I’ll send details, and let's figure it out 💫

Salesforce

Helping ambitious leaders and experts in mid-market companies to bridge mission critical priorities to valuable business outcomes with Salesforce.

How? By advocating the next definition from CRM: ’Customer relationship management (CRM) is a business strategy that optimizes revenue and profitability while promoting customer satisfaction and loyalty. CRM technologies enable strategy, and identify and manage customer relationships, in person or virtually. CRM software provides functionality to companies in four segments: sales, marketing, customer service and digital commerce.’ (Gartner).

Sales Leader

"Let's get it done"💎

Hi there! I'm Juska, nice to almost-meet you😎

I belief that sales is about helping and advising people to see and reach places that they could not reach before. Success and development, after all, starts with a change.

My biggest work-life joy is to make businesses run better by working with great people. I value honesty, trust and transparency and hopefully you will too. We only have each other, right? 

The best feeling for me is when we get s*it done: I use my growth mindset, expertise, hunger to learn and drive to help & advise companies (the people) to a better place than before we met. I'm always looking more impactful ways in creating and realising the value of technology with clients, partners and colleagues.

Have a great day and take care of yourself.
