With over 24 years sales experience, and more than seven years on LinkedIn ©, I am the leading provider of sales and commercial LinkedIn © training and consultancy for serious businesses trying to make more sales and make LinkedIn© work for them.

Over the years I have gained a broad range of experience as a sales professional and director, spanning IT, management consultancy and software development, working in a variety of public and private sector markets.

I started using LinkedIn© when I was in corporate life as a Sales Director as it enabled me to get new relationships, remind clients of breadth of value, and get engagements worth over £10 millions in sales.

I then decided to launch my own business, to share my passion for LinkedIn© and my knowledge of how LinkedIn© can get you the success you seek, be it sales projects or roles.

Since then I have gone on to help all sizes of companies from leading corporations such as IBM and Dell to small businesses across the UK, Europe and wider afield.

I am qualified in accountancy, business development, consultancy, project management, networking and selling from a range of professional bodies, and have trained in four different sales methodologies.

Key points about me:
•Over 20 years of sales direction, management and direct sales
•Achieved over 30% of new business as a direct result of LinkedIn©
