Acting as a sales director

Walking alongside Loch Ba, Isle of Bull.

To anyone one, or any business that needs a good Sales or Commercial Director, I’m your Man!

I don’t with to be arrogant or boastful. Not at all. I merely state the truth. And being honest is a key, if not the most important element in what makes a good sales person.

I started my sales career in 1994 in national Press moving to ITV, and ultimately agency side. Always delivering results.

I thus have knowledge, experience, and track record in creating a sales pipeline, cold selling across to formal tender response and pitching. Working with and pulling a team together to win the business. And this is a commodity sale or a bespoke sale, with some ticket values running into six and seven figures.

I started off in traditional advertising and moved into online advertising; and represent a rare breed of sales and commercial person who straddles the old and new worlds of advertising, marketing, and media.

I’ve worked for and set up start ups that were subsequently sold. I’ve been employed by some sizeable businesses working on big brands; at 29

I was a Business Development at ITV in London working on Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Survivor.

So I do know a lot indeed. And this can be harnessed to help grown a business through a solid new business sales process, and account management of clients.

So if you:

  1. Need someone to look at your sales process and staff, then I’m for hire.

  2. If you need a new business pipeline building from scratch then I can help.

  3. Or if you need me to parachute into your business as a sales or commercial director then don’t hesitate to contact me.
