I help businesses identify the right opportunities, reach the right decision-makers and turn targeted outreach into real conversations and meetings. Whether you're looking for distributors, partners, customers, acquisition targets or qualified sales conversations, my goal is simple: help you find the right people and open the right doors. This isn't about building huge databases or sending generic messages. It's about understanding who you should be speaking to, why they're a good fit, and how to start conversations that have a genuine chance of leading somewhere. What I Do: • Lead generation and prospect research • Decision-maker identification and qualification • Outreach and meeting booking • Partnership and distributor identification • Market entry and expansion support • Pipeline development and business development support How I Work: I take a structured, practical approach. First, I focus on understanding what a good opportunity actually looks like for your business. From there, I identify the right companies, find the right people, verify contact information and build a clean, organised pipeline that can be used immediately. Where needed, I also support outreach, follow-up and meeting generation. I believe most successful outreach starts long before the first email is sent. Getting the targeting right usually makes everything else easier. What You Can Expect: • Clear thinking, not guesswork • Commercially relevant research • Clean, organised data • Consistent communication and updates • Professional outreach and follow-up • Someone who takes ownership and keeps projects moving forward Experience: My background is in sales, business development and account management, where I've spent many years building relationships, opening new opportunities and helping businesses grow. More recently, I've worked with founders, agencies and growing businesses on projects involving: • Prospect research and lead generation • Market entry and expansion projects • Distributor and partner identification • Decision-maker mapping and qualification • Outreach and meeting generation • Strategic business development support A lot of my work sits somewhere between research, outreach and commercial strategy. I enjoy digging into a market, figuring out where the opportunities are, identifying who matters, and helping turn that information into genuine business conversations. I'm just as comfortable helping shape the strategy as I am rolling up my sleeves and doing the work.

Since beginning my sales career in 2005 I have successfully worked in a number of Business Development/Sales Manager roles across multiple sectors and market verticals. The one thing that links these roles together has been the importance of adopting a consultative sales approach in order to win new business and develop accounts. Virtual BDM enables me to apply my knowledge and experience to drive your sales process further and provide a full business development service whether it be for 1 day per week or 1 month. I can work on your behalf as effectively YOUR sales resource without your business incurring the cost of hiring and employing a BDM. You could bring me in for one day at a time on an ad-hoc basis**. You could bring me in for one week or even one whole month. To make the relationship work I would need access to a professional email address utilising your company domain and we will agree a project scope with agreed deliverables. I would need to gain a full understanding of your target markets, where you are currently successful and a "battle card" of how your product/service differs to others in your market place. We would also need to agree on your target markets, or perhaps specific companies that you would like to be selling to. My prospecting will include using a variety of tools including LinkedIn Sales Navigator, (good old) Google and your guidance regarding customer profiles. We could even take on a monthly project utilising a team that I closely manage, this is proving very effective. **Subject to availability. - I don't take on commission-only projects, and won't consider commission-only for the first 3 months of any project.
