ABOUT
I am passionate about Making Things Better (MTB as I call it). Whether it’s
about using LinkedIn to generate more opportunities & sales, providing training
to deliver stunning sales performance, coaching businesses and individuals to be
more effective or working in education to improve governing bodies.
It frustrates me when I see things that could be so much better—quite often
simple ideas that can be easily implemented and have a massive effect.
LinkedIn is one of the most powerful marketing tools available anywhere in the
world today. It is FREE yet it is a habitually underutilised resource. I have a
variety of ways I help people with this—from half and full day workshops, right
through to a hands-on bespoke 90-day coaching programme.
I have led and trained sales teams for many years and it still gives me a great
buzz to see excellent sales technique in action, particularly when I have helped
develop it.
So if you are an artisan who are brilliant at doing what you do but you’ve never
had any sales training, or your sales people could do with upskilling then
please get in touch.
I am also available for interim sales leadership positions.
I have a great passion for school governance. I have been a governor for over 20
years and now, utilising that experience, I provide training and support
services to governors and others associated with education to help them drive
improvement in schools. I do this with great joy and enthusiasm as there can be
no greater investment of time and money than in the education of young people.
Maybe you just want someone to bounce some ideas off and then hold you
accountable for delivering the plans you have made.
I really do love helping people and businesses to grow and prosper, MTB :-), so
please get in touch if you think I can help you.
