Our Sales and Marketing Services

Field Sales / Market Development

Many companies shy away from sales initiatives and then wonder why they don’t succeed. With a wide experience in business development I believe that sales should close the deals that marketing opens. Closing a sale is not simply a matter of asking for an order and establishing terms and delivery.

With hard-won experience at the customer interface, I understand the importance of targeting new prospects and developing new markets whilst ensuring your existing customers are fully developed, sales goals realised, and long-term relationships maintained.

With the right attitude, focus, determination, and planning, results  can be achieved in  the most  competitive markets.

Outsourcing

Outsourcing new sales skills into your business is currently seen as a better than ever response to the current financial pressures and restrictions facing companies when recruiting and costing a credible sales team.

Market Strategy

Without a considered market strategy a company could waste resources or miss an opportunity. It's not always possible to recognise a missed opportunity immediately, but it can become apparent later when a competitor moves into a market sector you have been unable to break into.

I can work with you to develop a strategy that will allow you to concentrate your resources to increase your sales and maintain a competitive advantage.

Interim Assignments

There are times when companies find themselves in a position of needing to fill a vacancy quickly whilst wanting to take time to evaluate and ensure that they get  “the best person for the job”.  Also there are times when someone is needed to “fill-in” for maternity leave and, unfortunately cases of long-term sickness when you need someone to “hold-the-fort”.

The Interim Management service is designed for such times when SHSM can step in and take the pressure leaving you to concentrate on the core strengths of your business.

Team Management

You don’t always need full-time staff to monitor and motivate your sales team. I am highly experienced in team management and can work alongside existing sales staff on the front  line, supporting, managing and directing them to get the results you require. I can ensure your Sales Team is totally motivated, understands its role, and is the credible face of your organisation.

Project Management / Product Launches

Within the current economic climate many companies are coming under increasing pressure as budgets and resources are cut, but increases in productivity are demanded.

When it comes to new projects businesses cannot always provide the focus and time required for exploring and researching new markets, and until the project is proven it can’t always justify increasing overheads by employing more staff.

I have comprehensive experience in handling projects and delivering the results within the required time and budget.

The same skills are often requested by companies when launching new products into the market place that need just that extra research and push to make it a success.

Web Site Design

The Internet is the most powerful sales and marketing tool a business could utilise.
We believe a website should not simply sit in cyberspace doing nothing, but should be thought of as a member of your team driving business to you whilst promoting your corporate identity.

Take advantage of the internet with a 100% custom website design which we will create based around your company’s individual needs. Whether you are looking for a single page website to act as your online presence or a full 'bells and whistles' ecommerce store to be the focal point of your business.

We build new websites from scratch or revamp existing sites which may not promote your business to its full potential.
