I’d like to think I'm to Sales Strategy (and team leadership) what Rory Mcllroy is to Golf, but I’m nowhere near as flexible, don’t have an Irish accent – and can’t drive the ball over 320 yards. The truth is I’m probably more like Ian Poulter. I’m always prepared to put the hard work in to get to the top, however I truly flourish in a team environment. When it comes to “driving for show” or “putting for dough” you know the “postman” will deliver.But back to Sales Management....It’s not all about sales – but it is mostly. I know that nothing happens in a vacuum or in isolation, so rounded sales strategy, planning and execution, allied to strong operational capabilities is what makes things really tick. I can demonstrate hands on operational management, as well as sophisticated marketing, product development and logistics experience across a wide spectrum of sectors. I’ve bought these to bear in tough and competitive markets and have consistently demonstrated rapid growth and radically improved market share. I thrive leading enthusiastic teams to success. I’m restless, sensibly radical, and enjoy wide spans of control – including in an international context.SECTOR EXPERIENCE: I am comfortable working with indirect & direct sales channels and vertical markets – as well as opening new markets with new products, or identifying niche opportunities in areas such as sports – e.g. Leisure Venues, Gaming & Golf- and building appropriate networks. Also, very familiar with hospitality, hotels, travel hubs and entertainment.SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE• Building and developing highly effective and professional multi function teams• Day-to-day sales leadership - Making sure the team has a clear and common purpose• Enthusiastic advocate for good sales practices – planning, KPI’s, targeting and budgets• Operations – P&L – Finance - Product Management – Product Innovation – Logistics• Opening new niche markets:
