Sales Trainer & Conference Speaker

When I was 16 I started selling at a clothes shop on a Friday afternoon and Saturday morning to earn some pocket money. I was hooked on selling immediately. I loved the idea of “assisting” customers and quickly latched onto the selling skills required. A customer would come in looking for a pair of pants and walk out with two pairs of pants, three shirts, a jacket and a pair of shoes. I just knew I wanted to be in sales. After spending 16 years working for a few different companies in positions ranging from General Accounts Salesman, Key Accounts Salesman, Sales Manager, Sales Dircetor, Commission only Home Improvements Salesman and Group Manging Director, I started my own business.
