What‘s keeping you up at night?
Are your lack of sales stressing you out?
Over the years we’ve found that at the start of our relationship many of our clients are laying in bed at night not sleeping with worry. They are stressed out, worrying about next month’s sales revenue, about cash flow and how the heck they are going to pay their loyal employees. It’s a familiar problem played out up and down the country in the homes of business owners, managing directors and sales leaders.
At Sales Geek we take the stress out of sales
Every year, almost every business has a sales ‘problem’ that causes sleepless nights for it’s leaders. It can feel like there’s no immediate solution and no one you can turn to. And that’s not true. You can turn to Sales Geek. You don’t have to be wracked with worry every night…
It’s A Big Deal
Hiring a sales director is a big deal for any company. As a growing small or medium-sized business, a talented, experienced, Sales Director could make a world of difference in helping drive your future growth. However, hiring the right one is fraught with problems
Sales Directors are in high demand for the value they bring to a company's bottom line
Sales Directors are in high demand for the value they bring to a company’s bottom line. However, their salary is usually prohibitive for small, and medium-sized businesses and the very best in the sales profession tend to end up in large corporate organisations that can pay the required salaries & bonuses. In addition, there’s often the high cost of acquisition in their recruitment and fringe benefit packages can run into the hundreds and thousands. So whilst there’s a tremendous benefit to having a sales director in your organisation, for a small business it’s almost always cost prohibitive – Until now!

“sell me this pen!”
This is what I thought sales training was before Sales Geek?
Historically I’ve thought of sales training along the lines of ‘sell me this pen’! So the thought of undertaking 10 sessions filled me with dread. I could not have been more wrong!
Sales Geek’s and Graeme’s expertise and innovative approach not only helped our team to develop our sales strategies but also challenged each one of us to look deep within ourselves. The self-reflection aspect has been a game-changer for me personally, pushing me to continually strive for improvement, whilst working towards measurable goals. The knowledge and skills acquired have not just been about sales; they’ve been about personal growth and professional development. Many of the lessons learned I have taken in to my personal life.
More than just a training program – it's a catalyst for positive change!
Here’s to Sales Geek and Graeme for being more than just a training program – it’s a catalyst for positive change! Thank you for pushing our boundaries, fostering growth, and shaping us into better professionals.
“Nobody cares about you!”
“Nobody cares about you” still rings in my ears. It sounds mean but there was an important lesson in there – reach out to Sales Geek to find out what this is

Over the course of nine months it was brilliant to work with Graeme and Sales Geek – the impact he’s had on both myself and my team has been transformative. I would definitely recommend Graeme for his immense expertise in sales coaching & mentorship. I wasn’t sure what to expect beforehand, however was super pleased with Graeme’s relaxed, personable, and learner-centric approach.
The individual & group sessions we had were often full-on, but importantly, always great fun. Graeme fused learning with doing, so that month on month the team would put into practice what they’d learned in real-life scenarios. The proof is in the pudding as they say – well, I’ve achieved some of my best deals since working with Sales Geek, I have implemented better processes & a more robust sale structure, and importantly have a strong focus on what we do next to grow. It was clear that Graeme wanted us to succeed & in addition to “Sales Coach” often felt like he was my cheerleader as well (just without the pom poms!)

We structured our work and development with Alertacall in two parts – sales training for the team and sales coaching for Ben. After a number of internal team changes it was the right time to take a different approach . We helped Ben enhance sales structure & process to gain clarity on future sales forcast andat the same time honed skills in effective multi-stakeholder selling and team leadership.
