A sales consultant who has actually sold premium

Sales consulting for companies: from a one-off diagnosis to ongoing growth support.

A business doesn't need a sales consultant for motivational lectures. It needs one to see, faster, what is invisible from inside: where the funnel leaks money, why managers sell cheaper than they could, and what stops the client from saying yes. I work as a hands-on sales expert for companies — with strategy, numbers and real deals.

Not a theorist: 10 years in premium sales — LVMH, Simple Group, federal retail. I've been on both sides of the premium deal — selling and buying. That's why my recommendations get implemented instead of staying in a deck.

Consultant or trainer: who to call

A trainer develops people's skills. A consultant fixes the system: strategy, processes, structure, incentives. If your managers can sell but sales are missing — the problem is the system, and training won't solve it. If the system is solid but the team underperforms — skills work is needed. Often you need both, and I combine the two roles.

What I work on

  • sales and commercial strategy: channels, segments, pricing logic;
  • conversion growth at every funnel stage — without discount pressure;
  • average ticket and repeat-purchase growth in the premium segment;
  • manager communication quality: scenarios, standards, objection handling;
  • sales transformation when moving upmarket or entering a new market;
  • management systems: KPIs, reporting, leadership cadence.

Engagement formats

  • One-off consultation: 90 minutes on a specific problem — with your numbers reviewed before the call.
  • Diagnosis + plan: 2–3 weeks, audit of the key points and a change roadmap.
  • Ongoing advisory: 3–6 months alongside the team — implement, measure, adjust.
  • Targeted project: market entry, new business line, commercial function rebuild.

Case: corporate and private client development for a luxury goods company — experience programs and loyalty architecture. Result: 200+ active clients, 500M+ RUB annual channel turnover.

Questions & answers

How are you different from a classic business consultant?

Narrow specialisation and practice. I consult on sales and client experience in the premium segment — not 'on everything'. My recommendations come from what I have done hands-on at LVMH and in federal retail, and always end in an implementation plan.

Do you work online or on-site?

Primarily online — I'm based in Antalya and work worldwide in Russian and English. For store audits and field work with teams I travel on-site — agreed per project.

What companies do you work with?

Premium and luxury: retail, beauty, fashion, service companies, high-ticket B2B. From a single boutique to a federal chain. The key criterion is the owner's readiness to actually change the sales system.

Where do we start if we can't name the problem?

With a free 30-minute call: you describe the situation, I tell you honestly whether I can help and which format fits — a consultation, an audit or ongoing advisory. If I can't help, I'll say so.

Shall we discuss your challenge?

Leave a request — I'll reply within one business day and tell you honestly whether I can help.
