• Hit or exceeded target every quarter • Helped triple several clients’ bottom line • Won Sandler Franchise Ruby award in 2019 • Consistently filled and lead CEO sales seminars As well as closing deals I helped ambitious and motivated senior directors and their salespeople make a step change in growth. The fast paced world of sales is fascinating and challenging, especially in cities like London. Sales itself has evolved and new technology and process means it will continue to do so at fast pace. It is more important than ever to establish 'Trusted-Adviser' relationships with our markets and target audiences. I support directors and their sales teams who look to differentiate themselves from their competition, with a customised sales approach based on a non-pushy, non-traditional Sandler methodology. This attracts respectful relationships on a 'win-win' basis. Before working with Sandler LondonCity, directors typically face these types of challenges: ▶️being highly knowledgeable in their field however feel some uncertainty how to effectively engage their market; ▶️having great contacts although may not necessarily receiving enough inbound referrals for a full pipeline; ▶️having experienced sales teams although processes are occasionally a little 'ad-hoc' and results can be inconsistent; ▶️they hire great people although some salespeople gave 'Oscar Winning' performances in the interview but deliver little - affecting the bottom line ▶️being great at booking prospect meetings, however some can feel like unpaid consultancy and time lost;
