Simon Lyon Email & Phone Number

I have 30 years sales and marketing experience focused in music, media, natural products, design (gardens, kitchens, graphic) and the charity sector. I thrive on building businesses and collaborative projects.I'm naturally creative, articulate and persuasive. From an early age I cut my teeth in the highly competitive music industry, which attribute to my inherently focused, adaptable attitude, drive and determination. This is something that I have come to rely on in my sales career when delivering and often exceeding expectations. Diplomacy is one of my strong points as well as having good attention to detail, excellent listening skills and a natural style of selling. These qualities have enabled me to gather a thorough understanding of my clients needs and desires, permitting me to negotiate and close agreements favourable to all parties involved and continue close professional relationships leading to further business deal acquisitions.PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS / AWARDSLOOT MUSIC AWARD - WINNERJudges included Midge Ure, Marc Almond, DJ Jannice Long and Columbia recordsSONG SELECTED BY SONY/BMG PUBLISHING BIMM ALBUM 2004RAN THE BRIGHTON MARATHON ORGANISED AND PROMOTED THE EDDIE BRILL SHOW UK Warm up comedian and talent coordinator for The David Letterman ShowCREATED TV SHOW 'THE BREAKTHROUGHAttached major talents superstar choreographer Eddie Morales and Actor Micheal Kenneth Williams to the show.Attached Milliframe Productions to the show.
