Past experience informs the approach. It does not guarantee the same outcome for a different product, customer or market.
01 / Enterprise customer acquisition
BMW: creating demand and winning the customer.
Industrial software · Enterprise sales
Personally led by Bircan
When you need to win customers beyond your existing network.
An existing solution did not rule out a new opportunity.
Bircan identified BMW as a potential customer because he believed the industrial software could be relevant to its work. BMW already used another software solution, and he had no existing relationship. He approached the account and worked to make the need for an additional solution apparent.
Create a reason to buy despite an existing solution.
The task went beyond explaining product features. Bircan had to make the software relevant enough for a customer already using another solution to consider an additional purchase. His communication and the way he developed the conversation were central to that work.
Create demand, develop the opportunity and win the account.
Bircan initiated the approach, created awareness of the need and developed the commercial case for buying the software. He personally led the communication and opportunity development that won BMW as a customer. The sale depended on commercial persuasion as well as the product’s capabilities.
A customer relationship was won.
- BMW was won as a customer for an industrial software provider.
- The customer purchased the software despite already using another solution.
- Bircan created the opportunity through direct acquisition and developed it through his own communication and commercial follow-through.

02 / Global integration partnership
Opening access to a global technology ecosystem.
Manufacturing software · Strategic partnership
Personally led by Bircan
When your technology needs access to an established commercial ecosystem.
Reach beyond individual sales.
Bircan saw a route to broader international visibility through integration with a global manufacturing software provider. The products served related applications, creating an opportunity to bring the solution into an established user ecosystem.
Turn product fit into a partner commitment.
Reaching that audience required more than compatible technology. Bircan needed to establish the commercial relationship and secure the provider’s agreement to collaborate on an integrated solution.
Initiate, negotiate and secure the partnership.
Bircan personally initiated, negotiated and secured the integration partnership. He led the commercial relationship behind the agreement and the route into the provider’s software ecosystem.
Integrated solution available to over 300,000 users
- The provider’s December 2022 announcement documents the integration partnership and identifies Bircan in a leadership role.
- The announcement describes making the integrated solution available to more than 300,000 users.

03 / OEM integration
Turning standalone technology into an integrated OEM offering.
Industrial software · OEM integration
Personally led by Bircan
When your product needs a route into existing customer workflows.
Rethink the separate add-on sale.
Bircan questioned why the software should always require a separate purchase conversation when its functionality complemented a product customers already used. His idea was to bring the capability into that software provider’s environment as an integrated offering.
Build the capability into the partner’s proposition.
The commercial opportunity was to make the functionality part of the partner’s own product offering and buying context. This required a partner relationship built around integration, rather than only referring customers to an external application.
Develop the idea and drive the partner relationship.
Bircan developed the commercial concept and drove the partner relationship behind the integrated version. The functionality was offered under the CAM provider’s own product name, creating an additional route to customers through that provider’s offering.
An integrated version in the CAM provider’s own environment
- Official product documentation describes third-party NC-code verification integrated directly into the CAM machine environment.
- The provider offers the capability under its own product name, without requiring a separate external verification application.

04 / International business development
Developing partners and local structures from Germany.
International sales · Partner development
Personally led by Bircan
When you need partners who develop business beyond the distribution agreement.
Build commercial activity around a software product.
Bircan led international business development from his base in Germany across Japan, Italy, New Zealand, India, Vietnam and France. The work combined distributor development, partner coordination and progression of sales opportunities.
Select partners for the relationships they already serve.
Bircan selected partners with existing collaborations and OEM relationships in mind. He looked for routes through which the software could be introduced into established customer relationships and relevant offerings, rather than choosing partners on geographic coverage alone.
Develop partners and coordinate the commercial work.
Bircan developed partner relationships around their existing commercial connections, coordinated activity from Germany and advanced sales opportunities across the six markets. The work included Japanese and Italian distribution relationships and a local software company structure in India.
Distribution relationships and local business development.
- The Japanese partner’s January 2023 announcement documents an exclusive distribution agreement and identifies Bircan in a leadership role.
- The Italian reseller’s product page documents the software offering. The wider six-country activity and India structure form part of Bircan’s account of his work.

BRCN turns partner development into active commercial work: selecting partners for market fit, coordinating account priorities and following through on opportunities. Clear responsibilities and regular partner engagement keep the work moving beyond the distribution agreement.

What connects the examples
Create access, develop the relationship and take responsibility for the next step.
Customer acquisition, global integration, OEM development and international distribution require different approaches. The common contribution is personal commercial execution: identifying the relevant organisation, developing the relationship and staying responsible for progress.
Commercial ownership
Introductions create access. They do not create commercial ownership.
Pursue commercially relevant targets even when there is no existing relationship. Choose the route around the product, application and buyer.
Lead meetings and follow-up, clarify requirements and objections, and keep actions, owners and decisions visible.
Coordinate product specialists and buyer questions while retaining responsibility for the commercial follow-through.
Turn requirements, objections, competitor references and blockers into a recommendation for headquarters: advance, adapt, seek more evidence or stop.
BRCN’s commercial approach is built on proactive customer acquisition, direct engagement with decision-makers and consistent follow-through — not passive introductions or reliance on an existing contact network. For each new product, applications, evidence and commercial objectives determine the approach.
