Bio
Joey Drieskens
Roel and I worked together at Saysimple. He played a major role in further optimizing our outbound sales strategy. With his experience and practical tips, I'm confident he will prove to be a great mentor/coach for any sales team aiming to open a new sales channel. He helped us optimize our playbook, set up HubSpot, sequences, and even joined us in the first few 'outbound middagen' to coach me and my colleagues on how we can maximize every interaction with a prospect. We gained a wealth of valuable insights into specific target verticals, and in the first few weeks, we even doubled our initial response rate target.

I have known Roel for just over 5 years and we have interacted and met on numerous occasions during this period. The two things that struck me about Roel right from day one was his amazing affability, which I believe makes him connect with people so effortlessly, and his systematic approach to doing things that makes it a breeze to work with him. He is quite knowledgeable about his field and has the gift of persuasion. Based on my experience doing business with Roel (the company he represented at the time), and the relationship we have built since, I have nothing but praise for his professionalism and overall integrity.

I have had the pleasure of working with Roel Cozijnsen as a partner of Acmetric over the past year. I would highly recommend him as a sales coach to any company looking to elevate their sales strategy and capabilities. Roel has assisted us with a wide range of sales-related activities. Firstly, he played a valuable role in establishing our sales strategy, including outreach methods, implementing a CRM system, streamlining our workflow, optimizing our sales funnel, and more. Roel has an enthusiastic, pleasant, and calm personality. He has inspired and encouraged us to step out of our comfort zone and improve our sales process. Secondly, Roel supported us in screening and interviewing candidates for our Head of Business Development position, resulting in the hiring of a highly valued team member. Lastly, Roel not only provided strategic guidance but was also willing to offer hands-on support. He assisted us with the execution of sales activities, highlighting his dedication and commitment to our team. Overall, Roel has had a significant positive impact on our sales department over the past year. His expertise, guidance, and inspiring approach have helped us improve our performance and take our team to new heights.
