I make the sales process fun, easy and profitable by teaching organisations , entrepreneuners, and individuals how to be comfortable in the (sometimes hated!) sales process. With over 40 years of experience in the hotbed of growing businesses and start-ups, I quickly assess different business situations and deliver the appropriate training for each specific assignment. My delighted clients frequently are found among experts, entrepreneurs and professionals who do not work conventional sales positions but utilize my expertise to enhance their skills in effective customer relations and promoting profitable business contacts.My most well-known tool is public speaking. Other tools I utilize are seminars, workshops and individual coaching. Examples of my selling and training specialty can be found in my 7 bestselling books, two of which were nominated as Marketing Book of the year and an additional one which was Sales Book of the year. They each provide valuable documentation to supplement my training. They are also engaging for the merely curious...

It is a privilege to be part of a board of outstanding and interesting members with skilled leadership and employees. The company connects the most talented students with a demanding corporate world for a successful future.

As one of nine Swedish women entrepreneurs chosen by Tillväxtverket, I was representing Sweden and womens´ entrepreneurship in the EU. We took active part in conferences, panels and ambassadorial trips through Europe. Acting like a bridge between organizations and individuals - "connecting people" – I had the privilege of sharing contacts in EU to and from my vast network of professionals as well as learning more about the role of EU to promote entrepreneurship across borders.

I founded one of the first internet and web companies in Sweden, Republic, where we promoted successful companies to a profitable first presence on the net, among others Elite Hotels and Stockholm´s Auktionsverk. The basis of the company was built on understanding, focusing on and helping our customers with their customer communication - not the technology in itself.In Republic we were famous for passionately focusing on the best usability and profitability for our clients (and still do, now Republic Factory). Our combination of excellent design, a personal approach to our clients´ customers and great copy (today called UX writing) I am proud to say that we contributed to building the whole industry.

At Advokatfirman Vinge, I had a leading position responsible for coordinating the internal and external communication and marketing, both nationally and internationally. My expertise in communication was used among others to start the Vinge Academy, launching the first editions of a newsletter and training of the staff and the lawyers in every day communication for better understanding and meeting the needs of the clients. My job entailed a vast spectrum of issues where I introduced, coordinated and solved many strategic questions to a practical solution. It was an exciting challenge in a growing organization situated in six different offices in the EU.

As the CEO of ISL Publishing House, I had full responsibility to choose, produce, and market some of the best management books of the time – famous authors like Michael Porter, John Fenton and John T. Molloy put us on the market as one of the most interesting and profitable publishing houses in Sweden. Selling directly to leaders by telephone distinguished my sales force as innovative and goal oriented.We were the first to record the books and interviews to be listened to – an innovation then! – today called podcast.I also headed the GHT Media House, producing newspapers for focus groups. My assignment was challenging since I acted as both publisher and editor as well as the inspirational leader for the whole media house. These roles combined all possible knowledge to produce and market a totally new idea to both sponsors, advertisers and readers and enthuse my salesforce to create top results. In this position, I also rediscovered my love for writing which later resulted in all my books, chronicles and articles.

ISL was the leading innovative training company in leadership, sales training and marketing. In the role as sales consultant, I received the best possible sales training in Sweden at all levels, from basic to complex selling. My good results were based on my commitment to our our clients´success - "we lived as we taught". I also got a deep knowledge in both theoretical and practical leadership with my different assignments, acting as an entrepreneur within a growing company and building successful new areas of business. Creating profitable results by involving and enthusing my fantastic coworkers was always my goal, thereby proving the strength of our training and helping my people grow to their full potential.
