10 (+2) facts about me
- 1ļøā£ I live in Germany with three growing boys and a beautiful (and very patient) wife. Iām a lucky man
- 2ļøā£ In school I failed German. And delighted in telling my teacher I didnāt give a sh*t, as I would never EVER in my life need to know how to order a currywurst. #Karma

- 4ļøā£ My first sales job was selling double-glazing. I lasted three weeks
- 5ļøā£ Before becoming self-employed in 2006, I was the #1 salesperson in Europe for one of Europeās largest digital media companies. I still have the commemorative mug

- 9ļøā£ After seeing so many agencies struggle to get paid their fair share of the value they create, Iām on a mission to rid the world of hourly and daily rates. Selling time sucks. And has to stop

And two more random facts for good measure:
