Lotte's story
Lotte began her sales journey at 17, selling lottery tickets through cold calling. She progressed her way through university in Amsterdam and graduated with a master’s degree in Marketing & Sales.
Lotte gained her experience in the more complex and consultative selling world during her time in ‘The City of London’, where she sold solutions to financial institutions such as HSBC, ABN AMRO and Deutsche Bank. She enjoyed being part of an international sales team and working with clients globally.
After spending a few years in London, Lotte moved back to Amsterdam where she continued her corporate job at ‘De Zuidas’. Not much later, Lotte took the plunge and started Topsales Amsterdam with a mission to help as many businesses and individuals succeed in sales.
Lotte is also a sales keynote speaker, boosting (business) events with her energetic, enthusiastic and hands-on sales talks. She shows up daily on social media and shares sales tips and insights about her professional life with 5k+ followers on Instagram and 6k+ connections on LinkedIn.
In 2020, Lotte was named a ‘Top 10 Female Sales Coach’ by Yahoo Finance and nominated for the VIVA400 business awards. She wrote a book named Top of mind.
