For over 20 years, I have been a successful sales and management professional in the publishing industry, leading and motivating teams, developing and maintaining client relationships, and generating revenue for award-winning publications and websites. I have a wealth of experience in sales methods, strategies, and techniques across both the public and private sectors, and a unique network spanning both global and local organisations. As the former Sales Director at 2A Publishing, I was responsible for overseeing a busy sales team in a demanding industry, ensuring targets and projections were met and sufficient revenue was generated. I achieved an average year-on-year growth of 30% through improved title awareness and coverage nationally, and the development of targeted campaigns. I also have a strong background in marketing communications, new business development and social networking, which enabled me to create and deliver effective and innovative solutions for our clients and partners.
