Empowering young athletes. Transforming startup businesses.

Hi! My name is Peter Novak, I'm a seasoned entrepreneur and advocate for Eastern European business. I bring a unique perspective to the world of sports development and international relations.

Get to know me better

What I do

I work for both leading Polish companies and international corporations. What my clients have in common is:

- a large, often dispersed team to be included in the development project
- a strong belief that they want to build value-based relationships
- a belief that "the best do ordinary things better" and even in a difficult market you can win if you take care of the knowledge, skills and commitment of employees and business partners
- courage, because that’s what it takes to organize the non-standard, often very innovative projects I help implement

Building and optimizing Sales Distribution Networks

I advise management board members and sales directors in the area of sales structure management, people management and results management. We put together a strategy for developing sales channels, in emerging markets around the world. I also work with directors responsible for customer service, operations and marketing, because strategic business integration around sales has a significant effect on achieving sales goals.
Management advisory & training

I advise leaders on creating and launching new business models that increase companies’ competitiveness. I run training sessions educating salespeople, managers and business trainers. I help them solve the problems they see by using the knowledge they have, as well as other resources at their disposal.
International speaker

I use "power speech" as an educational and motivational tool at company events addressed to employees or clients. I love sharing my experiences and inspiring others to look for new solutions for running their businesses. But most of all I provide knowledge that is crucial from the point of view of the sales and management profession.

What people say about me

MML Investors Services (MassMutual)

Chairman & CEO

Pete is an incredibly gifted salesman and an inspiring manager. I admire him for all of these skills, but what’s most important about Pete is that he also has a unique ability to teach those skills to others. He doesn’t just manage people to achieve their full potential as salespeople, he mentors them and cultivates them into managers themselves.

Pete has a powerful combination of a strong competitive drive, honed on the basketball court, and a genuine desire to invest in people and see them reach their full potential. That can make a huge difference to a company that’s struggling to build an effective sales organization – or even one that’s already working well but is searching for ways to improve. Wherever you are on your sales journey, Pete can find a way to take you farther and faster, as a team.

Outdoor Tex

President

I first met Peter when trying to build up a new business, based on a previous venture that had split up. Developing our own sales channels was a huge challenge for our young company, which had limited capital and was operating in a highly specialized and competitive market. A poor decision on locating a store in a shopping center was becoming a huge financial and psychological burden, threatening the success of the entire project.

That was the moment Peter got involved as a partner, supporting and inspiring us based on his wealth of experience. He drove a complete turnaround, with changes including building a B2B distribution structure, recruiting and overseeing staff for our online arm, and introducing sales training. The support and mentoring we get from Peter are invaluable.
