SDRs of Germany

Masterclass Academy Instructor

When I started as an SDR for the DACH region, I looked for guidance and content that would help me become better at my job. But there was no German content or communities – everything was always in English and tailored to English-speaking markets. I was frustrated, the German market is so unique, how was there no SDR content in German?!

So I decided to found the SDRs of Germany – the biggest German-speaking Sales community. Today we are thousands of members from thousands of companies. We share knowledge, mistakes, experiences, successes, perspectives and best practices.

Come join us, if you are a German-speaking salesperson – everyone is welcome ✨

DACH Sales Partner

Now, this is my dream job. I get to sell sales engagement software in the DACH area, that actually helps sales teams to be more successful. Basically, I get to speak to my friends all day. So much so, that it doesn't feel like selling — my discovery calls are conversations, where I get to learn from my prospects, and they get to see a young perspective on the sales development world.

DACH Sales Development Representative

Youvee UK

This is and was my first-ever side hustle. My uncle is an engineer, and he patented a revolutionary new technology for UV light air purifiers. When he asked me if I wanted to take over the sales department in the UK, I was so nervous — I had never done anything like this. 
Since then, it is fair to say I made a million mistakes on my journey! I have to oversee all marketing, sales, operations aspects in the UK on this project — and honestly: it is a lot.

But every sale feels like the best thing in the world!

Country Manager

Adverity

Wohoo I got promoted! Once I had learned the basics of the sales development role and consistently hit my target, I got to mentor new SDRs that joined the team. I realized how difficult people management can be and that continuous training is a must-have in the SDR role.

Senior Sales Development Representative

This was my first sales job ever 😍 Like every salesperson, I fell into sales just when the corona pandemic started. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing! The Sales Development Team was small and I was one of their first hires. I learned a lot about early SD Teams, what is important to get right from the start and how important training for new SDRs is.

Co-Founder @ SDRs of Germany | between London and Berlin ✨

Hi, I'm Mattia ✌🏻

I started as an SDR in Software Sales in 2020 and fell in love with Sales Development. Quickly, I realized that Sales isn't just an awesome profession but that you can also personally grow a lot from it. 

I started sharing my professional and personal learnings here on LinkedIn, which made me go out of my comfort zone and held me accountable for all the things I wanted to achieve. 

In 2022, I started building a community for German-speaking SDRs and what started out as a hobby, quickly became a fully fledged business that I now run together with my Co-Founder Helena.

Being a female thought leader in the B2B SaaS Sales Space has had its challenges, which is why I started boxing to cope with the stress and pressure. I actually just wanted to box here and there, but now I've found myself fighting my second fight at the end of the year 🥊

My LinkedIn is my professional diary, so don't expect crazy content but life stories from a 26-year-old, female entrepreneur with a love for boxing ✌🏻

Helping mid-life professionals & leaders break free from unfulfilling work and design a career that fits who they truly are.

📍 Creator of the 90-Day Bold Reset
📍 Coach to leaders who coach others

At DBB Coaching, I work with people who are no longer willing to coast, conform, or compromise.

Many of my clients hit a point—often around mid-life—where the old career no longer fits. On paper, things look good. But inside, there’s a quiet voice saying, this isn’t it.

That’s where the 90-Day Bold Reset comes in.

It’s a structured, high-support programme built around my BOLD Career Transition Method, designed to help you:

🧭 Break Free – Release what's keeping you stuck (fear, self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism)
🎯 Own Your Strengths – Reconnect with what makes you feel alive and aligned
💡 Level Up Confidence – Build clarity and courage to take bold steps
🚀 Design Your Next Move – Create a meaningful transition plan and act on it

👥 Who I work with:
→ Professionals & leaders at a crossroads
You’re ready to change something—your role, your path, your life’s direction. You want space to figure it out, and support to actually do it.

→ Organisations who want better leadership
I help organisations develop leaders who coach—not just manage. Through workshops and coaching programmes, I equip leaders to listen deeper, ask better questions, and unlock potential in others.

🛠️ How we work together:
✅ The 90-Day Bold Reset (1:1 Coaching)
A focused journey for mid-career professionals ready for change

✅ Leadership Coaching
For new and experienced leaders who want to lead with more clarity, presence and impact

✅ Workshops & Coaching Programmes
Supporting leaders to coach better and teams to thrive

Sales - It is a rollercoaster coaster isn't it. 

From the elation of getting that meeting booked, that sale closed or hitting your target! The money can be good and you are on top of the world!

And then things change. The pipeline gets light. Your boss is asking you difficult questions. The stress goes up. You start to feel overwhelmed and you start to lose faith you can do it again. You get unhelpful thoughts of getting fired,not being able to pay the bills and whether you are even cut out for this!

I used to feel like this. 

There is a way through the fog so you can reset, get back on track and start performing again, thriving as yourself and feel happy!

I help busy and stressed sales professionals  build their mindset, feel more confident and resilient so that they can perform better, feel happy and fall back in love with sales.

Sales success is 80% mindset afterall.

If you're a mid-life professional seeking transformation or an organization committed to building a thriving coaching culture, let's explore how a strategic partnership can unlock your boldest moves.

At mid-life, even success can feel... off. 

You've climbed, performed, achieved; but now you're asking: 

Is this still right for me? 
What if I want something completely different? 
Is it too late to pivot?

I help mid-life professionals answer these questions, empowering them to make bold moves into careers (and lives) that truly fit.

Whether you're aiming to:

⬆️ Move up (promotion/leadership)

➡️ Move across (new company/industry)

💥 Or move out (pivot into something bolder)

...my 90-day Bold Reset™ coaches you through this transition with clarity, courage, and structure. You'll build a powerful career strategy, reconnect with strengths, and take confident, intentional action.

🏢 For Organizations:

I partner with HR leaders, Heads of People, and school SLTs to build authentic coaching cultures. 

We assess how leaders show up, coach in the moment, and grow their teams, using a unique behavioural diagnostic. Then, we coach and train them to improve fast – truly changing how leaders lead.

At 40, I left the "right" path: corporate life in London, retraining as a coach, building a portfolio career, and moving my family to the South of France. 

Now, I coach clients globally to reclaim direction, freedom, and purpose, drawing on my own journey of bold reinvention.
