Volker Hein
Started in software sales at SAP in 2017. No experience in software & IT or sales. A leap into cold water. The sales portfolio? A complex hodgepodge of services & licenses: The Innovation Suite (IoT, AI, Blockchain & Integration). A real challenge. Without old biases, Volker quickly understood: "To convince seasoned executives, I need to think about sales differently."
SPECIAL
SALES UNIT
2018. Volker Hein shoots straight up. The biggest IoT deal in MEE with €12M ACV. He joins the Special Sales Unit for exceptional innovation and reference projects. Daily madness: PoCs against price-aggressive competitors. Now selling the entire SAP portfolio. "Real digitalization needs more than just technology. It needs excitement. An experience," is his realization. He starts implementing this, speaking on stages and events, as well as roadshows across Europe. Beyond traditional conference room demos, he develops a completely new sales experience.
JÜNGSTER
CTO
BEI SAP
Through these achievements, he becomes the youngest CTO at SAP. "Not your typical CTO," because his mission is sales. He's responsible for 16 countries for a new portfolio (Qualtrics), with a revenue target of 50 million €. Without a sales team. Without best practices. With 2 existing customers in the region. With competition that can do exactly the same thing technically. So get to it – call leads, pitch, close. He builds the sales motion and structures for Qualtrics in CEE. A life in conference rooms. Building presentations on planes and in hotel rooms until late at night. He works entire weekends for this goal. One question remained...

SCHLÜSSEL
... "Can't this be done better? How can I convince customers in just a few meetings, maybe even with just a single meeting, instead of a 6-month sales cycle?" And that's exactly where the key lay. What is software sales really? What do you need to ask, what do you say? How do you present? How do you create excitement in customers and get to quick decisions? Volker built his new methodology. He won customer after customer. Then he scaled his sales tactics to the entire sales team in CEE. Through an enablement roadshow, 2 customers became 200 customers in the region. And yes, also 50 million € in revenue.
SALES ELEMENTS
2021. Enter Sales Elements (formerly The Pitch Corporation). Launch of the leading SaaS sales podcast in the German-speaking market. The mission: Leave old software sales behind, share real expertise, best practices, and practical successes that actually drive revenue. Expose outdated sales tactics from 2008 and US training programs that fail in European markets. Since then, Volker Hein has been sharing his knowledge, methodology and exact sales systems.

How can I book the workshop?
Click the button on this page and fill out the short form on the next page. You can then select a time for a no-obligation initial call with Volker where you'll discuss everything further. The form filters out unqualified inquiries upfront, ensuring you speak directly with Volker instead of an employee screening your eligibility.
Can a single day really accomplish that much?
Yes, because we're completely prepared. Through pre-workshop business screening, we don't waste a minute on unnecessary questions – we dive straight into the deep end. 12 hours of pure focus on your bottlenecks achieves more than months of trial and error. Dozens of CEOs have already experienced exactly this.
Where exactly does the workshop take place in Dubai?
The workshop takes place in Downtown Dubai. You'll get specific details from Volker during your initial call. We'll help organize your travel and recommend hotels and restaurants for your stay.
Is it possible to do the workshop remotely?
Technically yes. However, it's important for you that the workshop takes place outside your usual work environment so you can block out the hectic pace of daily business during the session. My recommendation: Book your call with Volker and you can discuss everything else then.
What does the workshop cost?
The price is discussed individually during your call with Volker, as each workshop is completely customized. You'll clarify all details with Volker in the initial call. Click the button below, fill out the form on the next page, and select your preferred time.
