12 years in sales Top 3 of 18 sellers Ipswich, Suffolk
The short version
I know what happens after a lead comes in, because for most of twelve years I was the one picking up the phone.

I started on the phones in 2014 as a recruitment apprentice, then spent the next decade in sales: telemarketing, telesales, B2B accounts, inbound and outbound. Between 2023 and 2026 I was a top-three seller on a calling floor of 18, and in 2024 I managed a team of more than 20 agents across several campaigns before going back on the front line myself.

Alongside that I started building the things sales teams wish marketing gave them: landing pages, funnels, follow-up emails, websites and the CRM that catches it all. That turned into 1 Week Sites, The Marketing G, and a digital marketing role at an SEO and GEO agency in 2026.

Now I work for myself. I'm also learning go-to-market engineering, and I'll say so when something is new to me.

How I work

Three habits you'll notice.

  1. 01

    Answer first

    You get the answer in the first line. The detail follows if you want it.

  2. 02

    Numbers with what they’re out of

    Every figure comes with its period, what it’s divided by, and where it came from.

  3. 03

    Say what didn’t work

    If a test flopped or I can’t measure something, I tell you. Cold email hasn’t worked for me yet, for example.

What I won't do

What's not on the menu.

Better to say it up front, and what I'll do instead.

Where I'm from

Suffolk is home.

I was born in Ipswich and lived in Hadleigh for more than twenty years. I spent about four years in Sheffield and Rotherham, across a few moves, before coming back. I live in Ipswich again now.
