Spotting a gap in
the market, I saw opportunity to offer professional sales and consultancy
as a service:
1) Supporting small English-based IT & Software
companies gain an understanding, introduction into the Scottish market, in
specific the Scottish public sector including: the 32 Scottish local
authorities, Scottish Government, the Scottish Police Service and the many
non-departmental public bodies that operate north of the border. These
companies do not require a sales & marketing specialist five days a
week so I plug that gap by working with such clients to develop and then
deliver a sales plan based on an agreed timescale but operating just like
any other full time sales person;
2) Supporting international IT & Software companies
gain access to the vast UK market, which is the largest and most open
technology market in Europe. During many engagements over the years, I have
also supported European businesses learn how to engage with the UK business
culture, which is aligned more to the United States than Europe but also a
market open for business when it comes to public Cloud computing, including
one of the most vibrant and open employment markets in Europe;
3) Supporting mainly small Businesses (not all
technology business) wanting to build winning sales proposals, including
fully supporting a sales & marketing operation from inception to
success. For me, working in the public sector is second nature but for many
small companies looking to grow their business with lucrative government
contractors, it can be a minefield to navigate so I bring my knowledge and
experience to the table, supporting my clients as they embark on what is a
fantastic trading market if manged right, and:
4) Based on my many decades of public sector sales &
marketing experience, coupled with more than a decade’s experience working
inside local government as a councillor: I provide transformation
consultancy services (mainly to local government) where I support projects
that reduces complexity, improves efficiency and delivers these
improvements using the latest technology but most impatiently, based on
tired, tested and proven methodologies elsewhere.
