Anna Watson · Southend on Sea, Essex
On a mission to change the way the world perceives sales
30 years of sales experience within the recruitment industry including healthcare, general commercial recruitment, focused on working within start ups and turnaround businesses - over 20 years working in leadership and business development field
Love working with start ups and female founded businesses - and working with businesses that really want to grow and fulfil their potential
I have worked in start ups where they have had huge overheads and I have got them to profit in 6 months, I have helped clients define their sales processes and pipelines to make sure all opportunities are maximised, I have led and trained sales teams in the UK, India and South Africa
I became a Sales Geek as I knew I wanted to work with supporting businesses and their growth as had previously run a sales consultancy business, I also feel that founders have great products and services and can do amazing things but they get the ick when it comes to sales - I want to show them that sales isn't icky it's just finding your voice and making everything seamless, everything I saw about Sales Geek shared the same philosophy as me in terms of their mission and values - that's why I wanted to be come a geek!
I am an Essex girl through and through - born and raised in West Essex at the end of the Central Line and now living in Southend for 14 years with my partner and our 2 boys (although 1 is currently travelling in Australia but I like to think he'll come home at some point!) and our baby girl - the dog! I love exercise, cooking and food (hence why I love exercise!) and I'm a complete bookworm - but it has to be a book - not a kindle, not an audible - real paper, real books
