Tell us a bit about yourself and what you're up to now
I’ve been in the fitness industry nearly all my professional career from coaching, admin, reception and now in SaaS.
I’m a football coach, newly recruited LEGO enthusiast and quite musical.
I could go into more detail but this could be quite lengthy.
What was your journey into a career in Tech Sales
Specific moments with one belief... I believe we’re here to live life, and that’s what I wanted to have.
A role that was remote, flexible and allowed me freedoms to handle it how I saw best rather than a massive tool of do’s and don’t a
What would you say are the best things about working in Tech Sales
New technology and solutions to existing problems that people aren’t aware even exist or that there are solutions that exist.
What advice would you give to someone who is just about to start their career in sales
Know who you are first, what type of personality do you have, character, resolve, what type of principles do you have?
Then through trial and error start using them in your working life.
People appreciate people, not ‘I’m a different person’s at work compared to outside of it.’

Why did you decide to join Tangent as a Mentor and why should others join as Mentors too
I don’t think mentoring is for everyone. It’s more about listening to and fine tuning, almost like a guitar.
Everyone can make a sound in their respective professions, some just need tuning without completely taking apart their skill set and persona.
I like to believe I’ve developed the necessary things to be able to share knowledge, fine tune people’s obstacles into success and have a lasting impact in how someone may have previously thought about a topic.
