About me
My name is Andrei Volodin. Over 22 years I went from sales manager to commercial director, created more than 80 sales departments and trained more than 400 people. Now I build sales and business together with entrepreneurs in Serbia.
Sales is not talent or luck. It is a system you can build, write down and hand over to a team.
My story
- 01
From the first sale
I started as a sales manager: I dealt with clients myself, negotiated and closed deals. So I know how a conversation with a client works from the inside, not from textbooks.
- 02
Head of sales
Then I became head of sales and understood the main thing: one salesperson’s talent does not scale. A system does: process, scripts, training, reporting.
- 03
Commercial director
As commercial director I was responsible for sales at company level: results, team and metrics. I worked in equipment manufacturing, at importers and at distributors.
- 04
My own business
Then I began building sales departments as a separate job. More than 80 departments in different companies and more than 400 people trained: one approach behind all of it, refined in practice.
- 05
Serbia
I moved to Serbia and opened a business here. Now I walk the same path as my clients: a new country, new rules, finding clients from scratch. And I help them build business, sales and marketing in a new market.
