Is LinkedIn your #1 sales channel?

If not, why the heck not?

What's not working?

𝗗𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲?

"We have ZERO clue how LinkedIn works"
"We haven't made ANY sales with LinkedIn"
"We spend money on content and ads. YET..."

I feel you.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗳𝗶𝘅:

→ Content that gets seen by people who can actually buy
→ Profiles that attract, not repel
→ DMs that get replies (not ghosted)
→ Real conversations, not random connections
→ Tracking what matters—meetings, not likes

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁:

→ Training — The Connection-to-Conversion Framework™. Real examples. Zero fluff. Tailored to your business and sales cycle.
→ Consulting — Strategy that fits how you actually sell. We rebuild your positioning, messaging, and approach so LinkedIn supports your pipeline instead of draining your time.
→ Done-For-You — A system that just runs and you just close the sales...
 
My team handles the content, tools, and workflows so your people can focus on the conversations that close.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Most people treat AI like a shortcut.

I use it as a massive advantage.

Not cookie-cutter prompts. No 1000 prompts to use. Not “write me a post” tricks.

I deliver personalised prompts only for your business and your use cases that make the right actions faster, sharper, and easier to repeat.

No manner how long, no matter how many, no matter how in-depth. 

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀

Because it’s built on 24 years in real sales—leading teams, chasing targets, sitting in the meetings where results actually matter.

Everything I train, consult on, or build comes from that world, not from a marketing playbook.

LinkedIn isn’t the answer.

Your people are.

I just give them the tools and confidence to use it properly.

The Marketing Centre

It’s very simple. Great businesses surround themselves with great people. I am one of a team of 90 plus professionals who work as part-time Marketing Directors within ambitious businesses to provide the skills and experience for the business to achieve outstanding results.

I find business owners often feel frustrated – they really want the very best marketing expertise in-house but simply can’t afford it – or find it in their area.

They approach a marketing consultant (not me - obviously!) but find they speak an alien language and don’t roll their sleeves up and DO. So they work with an agency who devise campaigns – but never really get under the skin of the business enough to take responsibility for ROI. Or they hire a marketing junior who takes a scatter-gun approach with no cohesive strategy or plan. It’s frustrating!

That’s why the part-time option works so well. One of The Marketing Centre’s part-time
experienced Marketing Directors works for you as part of your in-house team, has a proven
track record of success, works on your entire business across all aspects, talks your language
and quite simply gets stuck in to make an impact on your growth.

Our ‘part-time’ business model means you get a top-quality proven Marketing Director for a
fraction of the cost to appoint one on a full-time basis.

If you’d like to find out more get in touch for a chat. I’ll listen and ask a few questions, and then
you can see whether this might be the solution for your business. Typically we work for
businesses of £3m+. You can contact me via LinkedIn or through our website
www.themarketingcentre.com.

Marketing Manager

Sharp tongued consultants. Flash agencies. Endless tools, tactics and fads. It’s no wonder some business leaders struggle to take marketing seriously. My mission is to turn around what small and mid-size businesses can achieve from marketing.  

I’m part of The Marketing Centre which since 2010 has helped business leaders make sense of marketing. To make better decisions and make the most of their marketing investment.  We’re not interested in ‘shiny new things’. We do real marketing that drives real business results.  The kind that only real experts can deliver.

So if you’re sick of switching from one thing to the next hoping one will stick, maybe it’s time to have your own Marketing Director from The Marketing Centre’s team.

I provide flexible support to businesses who do not have, cannot afford, or do not feel the need for a full time Marketing Director. Working with you in-house, as your part-time Marketing Director I will help to grow a profitable business, achieve aspirational goals or even help secure a big exit. 

Real Results. Real Expertise.
The Marketing Centre, Where Real Marketing Happens.
