1. Naturally, I need to earn a living. But what really drives me is the prospect
of making a measurable, lasting difference, and knowing my efforts – our
combined efforts – are appreciated.
Here are a few people who've been kind enough to tell me:
"Nick was an inspirational Sales Director. His strategic changes were spot on – refocusing
his sales teams on specific market sectors – but it was as a mentor to his team members that
he really stood out. He turned ordinary salespeople into highly motivated business-getters."
Graham Kent, formerly Group Executive Director, Euler Hermes UK
"Nick approached us with a compelling proposition for a new insurance business on
which we were happy to join forces to develop and underwrite a profitable account.
Over the next six years, he and his sales team built an impressive customer base from scratch
– his energy and focus were infectious."
Jim Davidson, Director UK 'AA' Rated Insurance Company
"Nick is a dynamic business developer – he saw the natural fit between Smart Currency and
Viva Costa (international mortgage specialists) and set up a cross-selling partnership which
I'm sure will be very fruitful for both businesses, and good news for our customers too."
Adrian Holland, MD, Viva Costa International
"We knew we were a good loft company – the problem was persuading prospective
customers. Nick professionalised our sales and marketing, driving business up 20% in Year 1
and giving us a platform for continued growth."
Chris Fry, MD, Advanced Lofts
