Data Leader to Datapreneur Call with Sebastian

I’ve been working with Sebastian for years now and his contribution to my personal success has been invaluable. He is irreplaceable when it comes to having a finger on the pulse of the market and he is constantly, relentlessly pushing in order to perfect his tools and techniques.

These include very hands on and battle-tested methods to find customers, carry them by the hand in defining a clear project scope and ultimately land high-value deals with ease. 

His approach to scoping and selling productized data projects was a game changer for me and a path I would not have taken without Sebastian’s coaching.

Thanks to Sebastian, I could recently close a $90k deal within days. I would blindly recommend him to any data professional who is seeking to build a deals pipeline independently and who wants to bring their freelancing to the next level.

In just one hour, Sebastian helped me sharpen my direction and think more strategically about my next steps.

He quickly understood the nuances of my background (corporate data strategy, stakeholder alignment, cross-functional work) and acted as a sparring partner to translate that experience into clearer potential paths. It felt grounded in my own expertise rather than generic advice.

The biggest value was how he helped me connect my strengths to possible opportunities: refining my ICP, articulating a more intentional personal brand, and considering ways to shape my frameworks for a freelance context. I left the session with more clarity, renewed momentum, and a better sense of what to explore next.

If you’re a data professional navigating a shift, whether into freelancing, productized services, or a new positioning, a conversation with Sebastian is a valuable way to pressure-test your thinking and broaden your perspective.

One of the most valuable conversations I’ve ever had about my data freelancing business.

In just one hour, Sebastian gave me more clarity than months of research, courses, and trial-and-error.
I walked in unsure how to position myself and price my services. I walked out with a plan, a niche that makes sense, and a roadmap to build a productized service I didn’t even think was possible.

The way Sebastian explained positioning, packaging, pricing, and expectation management was on a completely different level. Everything was concrete, specific, and directly applicable to my situation.

For the first time, I truly understood how to turn my 10 years of experience into a focused, high-value offer - instead of selling endless day rates.

If you’re a data professional thinking about freelancing or productized consulting, book the call.
It will save you months, maybe years.

Sebastian's advice on defining an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) to gain control over projects rather than just accepting whatever tech the client uses was a game-changer for my confidence. 

Sebastian didn't just give generic advice; he shared his own experience on how productizing services eliminates imposter syndrome and creates income predictability.

The insights he shared on how to package my offer to create a reliable pipeline, rather than relying on hourly billing, gave me a clear roadmap to secure the stable income I need for my family.

A single hour with Sebastian provided more clarity on my business direction than months of trying to figure it out on my own.

This was one of the most practical and financially valuable strategy calls I’ve had.

I came to Sebastian with questions around moving further up-market, refining our ICP, structuring high-ticket offers, and building a predictable pipeline.
He didn’t give theory - he walked me through exactly how he built and sold six-figure data engagements himself.

Seeing his actual deal structure completely changed how I think about packaging and pricing.
It immediately clarified how to stack offers for both revenue and long-term client value.

What impressed me most is how deeply practical his advice is. He understands the realities of selling complex data work: positioning, buyer psychology, partnerships, delivery risk, and why most productized services fail when done too early.

I also got very concrete guidance on ICP narrowing, partner-led acquisition, and how to build a top-of-funnel that actually attracts high-quality, high-budget clients

If you’re already operating at a high level and want to move into larger, more strategic deals, a call with Sebastian is a no-brainer.

My session with Sebastian was extremely valuable. In less than an hour he helped me strip away unnecessary detail from my proposal and refocus it around clear value rather than activities or time. 

He validated that a value based approach is the right fit for the type of work I deliver, and he shared concrete insights from his own experience on how he prices discovery, how he structures fixed price phases, and how he positions these with clients. 

Hearing his actual rate ranges and how he thinks about risk gave me the clarity I needed to benchmark my own offer with confidence.

What helped most was his ability to articulate where the real risks are in value based pricing, and why in my case those risks are actually minimal. That alone removed a lot of doubt. I left the session with a far clearer structure for my proposal and a much stronger sense of certainty in how to proceed. It was a highly impactful conversation that gave me both direction and confidence.

Sebastian brings a unique blend of deep expertise in data strategy, data engineering, business acumen, marketing/sales and entrepreneurship. 

Thanks to his expertise and support, I landed a $90k data freelancing project with a large client.

I had a 1:1 session with Sebastian and it was very insightful. He helped me break down my challenges around positioning, finding clients, and building credibility as an independent data freelancer. The way he explained niching down, defining a clear offer, and choosing the right acquisition channels was very practical, not generic.

Sebastian also asked the right questions and helped me rethink how to position my background and experience in a way that’s both focused and differentiated. I walked away with a much clearer direction and concrete next steps.

If you’re a freelancer or consultant trying to sharpen your positioning and attract better clients, I highly recommend talking to him.
