I first had the privilege of hearing Elaine speak as part of @Paul Bassi's Your Virtual Mentor's workshop where she explained how, as business owners, whether we like it or not, we are all Accidental Sales People.
The delivery of her workshop was the right balance of story; practical takeaways and it was delivered in a way that was accessible to seasoned sales personnel; seasoned business owners, to startups.
If you ever get the chance to attend Elaine's workshops, I highly recommend it.

‘I first met Elaine when she was presenting at the Sales DoJo in Liverpool. I was in a bit of a sales dilemma- struggling to make calls to my prospects, unsure of what the best thing to say was and how to get through to the right person! I had read books on sales techniques but as they all had different recommendations I ended up feeling even more confused! I didn’t see myself as a ‘sales person’ and found myself dreading each call I had to make.
When Elaine delivered her presentation, all the questions she was asking seemed to tick all the boxes for me: Why don’t you want to make the calls? What’s stopping you? Do you have a business blockage?
I decided to get in touch, and after a few 1-1 meetings with Elaine my confidence in speaking to potential clients grew enormously. I no longer dread calls to prospects, and have a pitch that I am happy with and confident in delivering.
Elaine’s time has been invaluable to me and I would recommend her to any business owner who is struggling with sales!’

I know Elaine very well from her role at Ann Summers and therefore engaged Elaine for some consultancy at Bonmarche. Elaine very quickly understood what our current issues were and what we were trying to achieve and worked closely with our retail Operations and store teams to develop recommendations on how we should evolve our in- and out of store events.
Within this engagement Elaine clearly demonstrated that she is an expert in direct selling and how to develop and train our field teams. She is solutions driven but has a clear understanding about people and the impact that change has on them.
Elaine is professional, and I look forward to the next time we work together.
