For me, sales, marketing, and change go hand in hand
My name is Clemens Gutmann, and I lead the consulting firm be nice in Mannheim.
My background lies at the intersection of sales, marketing, digital transformation, and business implementation. I have supported companies in consulting, agency settings, startup phases, leadership roles, and sales-driven growth phases. As a result, I view the market, communication, sales, and organization not as separate disciplines, but as parts of the same reality.
This is precisely what gave rise to my focus on Organization & Change, alongside the areas of Sales & Marketing and Compliance. After all, new market demands, growth targets, digital processes, or repositioning efforts remain effective only if internal factors align: roles, processes, leadership, coordination, and collaboration.
What Shapes My Work
I do not come from a purely methodological background. I also understand the demands of companies from a position of entrepreneurial responsibility, from sales-oriented leadership, and from projects where not only good ideas but also viable implementation were required.
This perspective continues to shape my work to this day:
- Sales and marketing must be effectively integrated
- Strategy must be translated into decisions, processes, and communication
- Change must work internally, not just in presentations
- The organization must be able to support growth, change, and new requirements
Why companies come to me
Companies bring me in when they are facing or in the midst of a phase where the market, sales, communication, and internal work processes need to be realigned.
This can mean:
- Restructuring sales and marketing
- Translating new market demands into robust processes
- Defining roles and responsibilities more clearly
- Improving collaboration between executive management, sales, marketing, and operations
- Supporting change pragmatically, without buzzwords or consultant jargon
My perspective on organization & change
I do not view organizational development as a parallel world separate from the business. I am interested in the point where change becomes economically relevant: where new goals, new offerings, new processes, or new leadership requirements must be integrated into everyday operations.
That is why I do not follow the standard pattern of analysis, concept, and handover. I support change in a way that transforms strategic direction into concrete operational capability.
Background
My professional journey combines several perspectives: consulting projects, leadership roles in sales management, agency experience, company start-ups, and a previous career as a lawyer. Building on this foundation, I now work with companies that are not just looking for good ideas, but for clear direction, effective implementation, and an organization that grows with them. My previous profile page highlights, among other things, consulting and coaching experience, legal practice, agency experience, company startups, and leadership roles in sales management.
