Starting a new venture as the world entered it worst economic down turn in over 60 years may have seemed to some as an unnecessary risk in uncertain times. For John the collective talent and experience that Footprint Group brings together ensures that he and his colleagues remain in control of their own fortunes during this turbulent period. And being part of an organisation that can actually help and support businesses work through these challenges is both rewarding and enjoyable.
John has worked for leading organisations throughout his career including Boots Group Plc, Spring.com, Protocol, Carter & Carter and Capita Plc holding senior and executive roles. John’s has focused on improving routes to market and channel management gaining qualifications in marketing, sales and project management along the way.
John now leads on sales performance improvement projects for clients and is keen to promote his views on the importance of disciplined and measured actions in sales and establishing the right culture.
Looking forward, John comments “as businesses focus more and more on every pound spent, an organisation that can demonstrate results in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of a sales function will rightly be in demand.”
