Member Spotlight: Matt Simmons, Sales Geek Manchester

1. Introduce yourself
   1. I’m Matt from Sales Geek, I’ve been in sales over 10 years, from Cold Calling to International business expansion, I’ve been blessed by having great mentors who have allowed me to gain an incredible amount of business experience over my career. Having trained over 1,000 salespeople all over the world on a customer first sales approach, I love seeing the impact first hand I can have in a business and on its people. Additionally as part of Sales Geek I’ve been a Part Time Sales Director to over 20 UK businesses in various sectors and sizes, from businesses turning over less than £1m all the way up to £25m, there aren’t a lot of sales problems I’ve not seen, so being able to mentor and work with Founders and Executive teams on transforming their sales departments has made me some life long friends.
