Louis Lenaerts

Louis Lenaerts is a Belgian business consultant, founder, and investor who specializes in helping CEOs and founders scale their sales operations without building complex organizational structures. He is the founder of Surf to your goals BV, a consulting firm focused on B2B sales strategy and business development.

Lenaerts positions himself as an operator-turned-advisor, having founded and led growth initiatives before transitioning to consulting. His approach stems from practical experience as a founder and growth leader, which informs his consulting methodology and strategic recommendations.

Lenaerts has developed what he calls a "one-man sales army" approach, which combines strategic mindset development, outbound sales motions, and modern sales technology to scale customer interactions. His methodology focuses specifically on mid-sized B2B deals and emphasizes practical, immediately implementable solutions over theoretical frameworks.

His consulting practice addresses a common challenge faced by growing companies: the tension between the need for faster growth and the desire to avoid over-hiring or over-complicating sales processes. Lenaerts works with leadership teams to identify growth blockers, pressure-test go-to-market strategies, and translate strategic planning into executable action plans.

Through Surf to your goals BV, Lenaerts provides business development coaching, sales strategy consulting, and go-to-market optimization services. His client base consists primarily of CEOs and founders of mid-market companies seeking to improve their sales pipeline generation and conversion processes.

Lenaerts emphasizes providing honest feedback and clear next steps to his clients, focusing on sustainable growth approaches that can scale without overwhelming existing teams or resources.

In addition to his consulting work, Lenaerts serves as an investor and business development coach, providing strategic guidance to companies in various stages of growth. His dual role as both consultant and investor gives him a comprehensive perspective on business scaling challenges and opportunities.
