About Dave Edward

In business there is one constant, regardless of the industry. We all need customers to survive.And in an ever increasingly competitive marketplace we must give our customers a reason to choose us.Which is why the worst piece of advice I’ve ever received is ‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’It’s the cumulative effect of the small things done well that deliver a memorable experience and will elevate your business to be the one customers choose.So, while everyone else is creating a ‘One size fits all’ business, make yours a ‘One size fits One’ by delivering an experience that makes your customers feel as though they are the only one.To truly understand our customers and therefore maximise our sales opportunities we must get to know our customers. And you do this by ‘Walking a mile in their shoes’, this is also how I work with you utilising a hands-on approach.Business can be a lonely place, no matter if you are a business owner or a leader. With over 3 decades of lived experiences in business, I've managed a sales team turning over $24,000,000/year, started six businesses; (had one failure, grew one to seven figures and sold two) so I understand how it feels.I want to work with business owners who are as committed to their growth as I am to you.So if you want to fulfill yours and your businesses potential, I’ll help you create a business customers want to buy from whilst making sure the customers experience is memorable.You see, Touchpoint Sales Consulting isn’t your average sales training company as we focus on the whole business and most importantly, your customers experience. Because after all, customers pay all of our wages!-------The reason why I’m on a mission to change the culture of selling started in my teenage years, TV was all about consumer programmes telling customers to complain and shout to get their point across, which to me didn’t seem fair.I thought it would be much better 'not' to give the customer a reason to feel this way. Instead to make the buying process easy and pleasurable, and built my career in sales doing just that. Delivering exceptional customer experiences.This isn’t just my story, it’s yours too as you are also a customer who likes to receive great service.If you’d like to find out more, please contact me at dave@touchpointsales.com.au

And the reason I don't see failure in a negative way.The failure of the business was down to the lack of my knowledge of online retailing. Three months prior to me launching, Koala mattresses launched with 2 amazing tech guys and the PR of their business done by Steve Smith, the Australian Cricket captain.I couldn't compete with their marketing, knowledge or budget and closed this business down.

So what I did was sell the space on the video box to aligned companies like take away's and printed new covers. Meaning that every video which got leant out was advertising to a captive audience.It was a great way for the video stores to get fresh covers printed for their store at no cost… Show more I started a side business as I saw a niche that wasn't being serviced, which I called Video Box Advertising.When you hired a video it was placed in a video box which had the stores name on.
