Passionate about igniting the spark in every salesperson - from modest potential to top performance
My name is Conny Johansson and I have over 20 years of experience in sales, a passion I found at an early age. I often sat outside our house and sold drawings and other things I made myself.I have a background in many different professions, but was always drawn to sales. There I have developed an ability to sell products and services that you can do without at first glance, but it gets much better when you buy from me. For me, I am the only one who can influence my own reality and with that insight I have the opportunity to help others realize how their reality and life becomes better.

I come from an entrepreneurial family, so starting my own business felt natural when I came into contact with Adviser Partner. As a person, I am humble, structured and very thorough. My clients can always rely on my answers being well thought out and tailored to their needs.
Besides sales, I work a lot with coaching non-sales people, like technicians and project managers, mainly in sales processes. I'm a shy guy who likes to stay in the background. And my own journey in the field of sales makes me realize that almost anyone can become a top salesperson. This insight allows me to affirm others and their potential and helps people understand what they are capable of.
I am also very passionate about new client meeting booking, an area in which I have developed a particular strength after many years in sales. Having booked thousands of my own sales meetings in my career, I know from personal experience how to set up a call to maximize the chance that the person on the other end of the phone will see the benefit of meeting me.
With my two great interests in life, family and music, I draw inspiration and energy and I bring it with me every day in the meeting with my customers. At Adviser Partner, I help companies reach new heights through customized sales strategies and meeting booking that open doors to success. Let me show you how together we can turn opportunities into tangible results - contact me today and let's create something great!
“Iwas contacted by Conny at Adviser Partner and was immediately sold on the ‘Sales Health Check’ program. Our sales team has received new tips and guidance on how to boost sales. Among other things, we reached out to new customers through a ‘Ringrace’ campaign. This resulted in 24 scheduled visits with new prospects, 14 of whom are now our customers.”

“Over the years, I’veattended many sales training courses, but few have been fully tailored to my role and our business. The sales training we received from Conny at Adviser Partner, however, was completely tailored to us at ABECE AB—and without a doubt the best sales training I’ve ever participated in.”

“Wegot in touch with each other and invested in traditional sales training that covered various techniques, including objection handling. This proved invaluable in our day-to-day sales work, and we still benefit from it today. Conny Johansson is skilled at imparting knowledge and inspiring engagement.”

Frequently asked questions
-
Many many hundreds of our customers lack an explicit sales force at the beginning of our cooperation. What I often do is to help clarify who is responsible for the company's customer work. Because what we know is that 100% of a company's revenue comes from sales, whether it is sales to other companies or private individuals. If no one is responsible for sales, we as a company will lose a large part of the potential we have.
All our clients have their unique structures. A company doesn't need to have full-time salespeople to be a good fit for us. Rather, we are an equally good partner when those who "sell" at our client have a shared role. Often it is the project manager who not only sells, but then also executes the project sold.

We can almost count on the fact that unforeseen things will happen during the program. We plan carefully but also follow up regularly during the program so that we do exactly what will benefit you the most.
We do not mix sellers from different companies, which means that it is YOUR current situation that will determine what we do on each occasion.

This is not true. We measure other things than the sales sum. This allows us to see that actions are being taken that were not taken before. This allows us to know that the Increased Sales effect comes as a natural part, even if the sales cycle is longer than the length of the program.
A goal of most of our programs is not only to increase sales, but also to shorten the sales cycle. Although it is still long, we often shorten it significantly through a smarter sales process that gives more control over the customer's buying journey.
In addition, a company rarely starts with zero sales cycles at the beginning of the program. With the training provided by the program, it is also common to see increased sales in the ongoing processes.
-
EVERYONE with customer contact. Whether it's the finance department that just sends an occasional reminder, they are part of the company's collective PR. A customer who feels badly treated because they missed paying on time 1 time out of 100, is a customer who will feel a small pang of irritation when they see and hear our company name.
When we come to those who deliver our services, such as carpenters, electricians, cleaners, drivers, janitors, consultants etc etc, they have an even greater impact on whether our target audience has positive feelings or negative feelings when our brand is mentioned.
-
We have a working methodology where we do a thorough investigation at the beginning of the collaboration. We have tools for reviewing a company's sales organization where we look at the 14 most important areas that all lead to increased sales. We analyze and select, in consultation with the customer, the most important areas for them.
Then we do a reconciliation before each session so that nothing vital needs to be changed to achieve the goal of the program.

In this episode of the We Love Sales People podcast, I sit down with Jonas Olofsson, CEO of Adviser Partner, to discuss what really sets a top salesperson apart from the rest—and why it’s not just about being the most outgoing.
For me, it’s all about discipline, structure, curiosity, and being able to handle rejection without letting it get to you. The biggest lesson? Stop comparing yourself to others and instead compete against yourself.
