I was the first sole Ad Agency Sales Manager for JobServe. The team had always been part of another managers role.In my time there I introduced a single jobs rate card that got the clients more response, made the Ad Agency more money and increased revenue brought in on single job bookings. Within 3 months, I got the team through £50k mark, for a month, which was a first for the team and kept it around that margin for the rest of the time I was with JobServe. I managed 2 people and had a portfolio of my own, cover 25% of the overall number In addition to my management duties, I would be out at least once a week seeing agencies and clients face to face, as well as selling on the phone on a day to day basis.

I started at TMDR (it was still called Hotonline then) as a New Business Executive, selling online job posting, a CV database, targeted emails, banners, buttons and other online collateral across the entire recruitment consultancy market. Through this, I discovered a niche in the Education market, and as a consequence, in January 2008, I was asked to become the Sales Manager for the www.jobsineduction.co.uk brand. I started with a small number of recruitment consultant clients, and through my work on the brand this has now grown to become the market leader for education recruitment companies in the UK. I am the only person at TMDR to develop a new niche and make it one of the most profitable in the company. Last year, this brand saw a 40% year on year increase in revenue which was unique in the company. In my role as Sales Manager, I deal with renewal business, new business and the employment, management and training of staff.

This involved selling strategic market intelligence to both the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. My role required me to contact heads and directors of small development companies all the way up to major multi-nationals across Europe, the USA and Canada, selling them individual reports, packages and long term subscriptions to the whole database. I was working to high targets around international hours.

Classified advertising sales. I sold advertising space into classified, display and online. I was selling to direct clients, public and business, advertising agencies, dealing with outbound and inbound sales calls. The job required me to generate new business and to account handle long standing clients and advertising agencies.

Outbound proactive sales calls. The job involved selling advertising space in Loot’s Recruit publication and online services. I was one of 2 people selling to recruitment agencies and educational institutions. This hadn't been focused on before and we made it profitable within a month. I landed contracts with companies like Manpower, Reed and Adecco, right down to small 1 man band agencies.

Financial Services. Outbound calling to secure worthwhile appointments for the field sales force. Working from a data base, assessing potential clients and persuading them to see a consultant for a financial health check
