Sales Training / London
​I feel passionate about the art of selling! I'm fascinated by everything from the psychology of selling to the various 'schools' of sales training and the way so many varied factors can affect a company's sales success — or lack of it.
​
I started my career in corporate media, helping companies large and small to sell everything from glue, shoes and cheese to bread, bicycles and bathrooms, painkillers, pet food and plastic pipes!
​
I then moved into IT where I became the UK Head of Sales & Marketing for Valtech, an international internet technologies company. We had clients in a broad range of markets, including banking, manufacturing and retail.
​
I've worked for myself for over 20 years and, of course, have had to be my own sales force!
​
I welcome every opportunity to help people and companies to sell more easily, effectively and efficiently. I tend to focus on three main areas:
​
-
The art of shaping and crafting a sales message.
​
-
Social and inter-personal skills.
​
-
The real meaning of 'persuasion'.
On my Training page you will see three courses that anyone involved in professional sales would enjoy and benefit from:
​
​
-
People Joy (advanced inter-personal and communication skills).
​
​
I'd welcome the chance to talk with you and discuss the best way I can work with you or your sales team.​

One Fee For All Of Me!
Many clients hire me for more than one purpose. My 'One Fee' policy means that once I've arrived at your party, event or conference, you don't pay extra if you want me to fulfil more than one role, such as a trainer for your team building exercises, a keynote speaker or a magician London. We agree one, flat fee that covers everything.
​​​​
​I love the variety of my work. ​My clients are interested in everything from cold reading techniques and sales coaching to communication skills and team building London sessions.​​ Others want a speaker covering subjects such as persuasion training, sales training London and cold reading psychology.​​ I also offer my services as a corporate magician or trainer for team building activities. Whatever combination you want, you can have! And we'll agree one fee for all of me!
