  Want more leads? More business? Been using LinkedIn, posting, posting, posting and nothing? Want to learn how to use the platform like a business development machine rather than a marketeer? I say tomato, others say tomato but I'll show you how to refine your offer, define your audience, target them and start those conversations that pay the bills - all on LinkedIn, the world's number one B2B platform. With nearly 690m people on the platform worldwide and c. 28m on there in the UK how can you afford not to be using it properly? Effectively? You've come to the right place. I've spent 20 years in property as a Sales Director and business development expert and I can help your business find the leads and customers you need - they are the life blood of your company and you shouldn't be wasting money finding them. This is a tried and tested process. I’ll look at what you’re doing, refine it and make it sing. Understanding exactly where your customers hang out is the first step to ensuring your business success and so many businesses are fishing in empty lakes for customers whilst wasting money... Oh, and we'll take a look at your offer too because it may well look off-key for your potential customers who might really want it but simply don't understand it. Forget the nonsense, the marketing jargon, the wishy-washy language of those who want to charge you the earth without any practical advice - I'll help you to bring new customers in by sniffing out where those customers hang out, and placing your fabulous service or product directly in front of them. Simple. Not quite actually, but with an initial chat with you, very, very doable. It starts with booking a call - do it now.

• Business Development Consultant

  • Feb 2018 - Jan 2019

  We’ve been active in the Kent market for a number of years now and have a great team behind us. Having bought, sold and let many properties in the county over the last decade we have realised that the need for expensive high street locations to effectively showcase a property for sale is now absolutely redundant. We don’t see the need for these overheads and therefore no need to be passing those costs on to you - we can offer excellent service and a stress-free experience from the day we visit your property to the day we complete on your sale. It is a fact that most vendors and buyers rarely actually visit an office to see an estate agent; as hybrid agents and a happy mix of the human and online models we are very happy to see our customers but do not need an expensive office base from which to manage your sale.
