Coach’s Comments:
I was fortunate to be introduced to effective major and key account selling techniques early in my selling career, enabling me to achieve sales and profit targets for 18 consecutive years in a variety of environments. Since becoming an independent change and transition manager some 15 years ago I have been able to build on this experience to perform a company rescue, develop 2 software businesses revenues for successful trade sales , implement new market development programmes and train sales teams to improve performance in high value and complex sales.
