Most revenue teams are building with borrowed tools.
The same CRMs. The same databases. The same cold email sequences.
It’s no wonder results feel flat — everyone’s playing the same game.

At JMC, we help you build your own.
We design Revenue Intelligence Architectures — proprietary systems that turn raw data, messy ops, and stale tactics into leverage your competitors can’t copy.

Our systems give you:
• Decision-making engines that route leads automatically
• Custom TAMs built from scratch (not scraped from ZoomInfo)
• Cross-channel orchestration that learns, adapts, and compounds
• A foundation your team can own, scale, and evolve

This isn’t RevOps.
It’s competitive advantage — built through automation, intelligence, and strategic clarity.

Want to see what that looks like in your business?
Start with a 48-hour architecture evaluation. We’ll map the risks, identify the upside, and show you exactly where the edge lives.

basix.ai

We started basix.ai because we saw firsthand how doing “sales as usual” prevented sales from happening. Once we isolated and focused on the activities that drive revenue, we were able to boil it down to its simplest components; do the things that drive prospects forward, and stop doing the things that hinder sales. 

Most sales reps inadvertently spend time:

- Chasing deals that were never going to close (based on bad or incomplete data)
- Deciding who should be contacted based on gut feel
- Spending time on endless research, going between systems and databases

We built a technology platform that actually works with the salesperson to keep them in sales conversations and in their sales flow. 

Our experience has shown the answer is not to try to surround the salesperson with more activities and just increase performance, but rather keep the focus on just selling.  

With basix, the smart workflow engine learns what activities and what prospects to focus on so your sales team can get better results. This happens because the system learns who is the current “low-hanging fruit” and constantly serves them up. At the same time, the highest and best activities are matched, taking those prospects further into the buyer’s journey, and moving them to the close.

Founder Helping You Grow | Follow for Daily Leadership & Growth Insights | Serial Entrepreneur | Ex-RBC

My story isn't typical - it's not about steady corporate progression or entrepreneurship from the start.

At 23, as a single dad, my journey took an unexpected turn.

In big corporations, where I stayed longer than planned, I experienced a different kind of growth.

Each night, after my son slept, my dual life as a father and ambitious professional unfolded.

But here's something you might not know: in these big companies, I didn't just get by; I excelled. Leading teams from two to 550, I was more than just another face.

I was a leader, learning about product development and large-scale expansion.

Yet, I constantly wondered, 'Am I too late to start my own business?'

This internal struggle, balancing comfort and ambition, kept me restless.

Outwardly successful in corporate, inwardly, I yearned for something of my own.

Skeptics called my desire to leave a stable career crazy, intensifying my internal conflict.

As my son became more independent, my perspective shifted.

A change was brewing, a readiness for something new.

That's when I left my corporate safety net, embracing the unknown.

The excitement of change was tangible, but what was to come?

My journey, initially thought to be solo, became a collaborative effort.

My first customer, my peers - they were more than connections; they were catalysts for transformation.

This transformation led to founding two startups in seven years.

Leaving corporate life for entrepreneurship was more than a business move; it was self-discovery, realizing my potential.

My achievements are clear:

→ Generated 9-figure revenue growth for clients and employers.
→ Progressed through 10 roles in two companies before venturing out.
→ Grew bootstrapped businesses to 7 and 8-figure heights.
→ Developed numerous leaders.
→ Launched several products.
→ Built two startups in seven years.

I share my story to inspire those on similar paths, not for self-praise.

If you're wondering if it's too late or too risky, let my experience guide you.

I'm here to connect, share, and inspire.

Let's discover what lies ahead, together.

MTD Training - Leadership, Management & Sales

In 2001, I took a leap of faith to see if I could cut it as an entrepreneur, and that's how MTD Training was born. 

With no outside investment, no team, and no fancy office, I started the company from a small bedroom office, doing everything myself - from marketing to delivering training sessions. It was a daunting challenge, but I didn’t want to look back one day with regrets, wondering "what if?"

I knew that if I was going to build something, it had to be something truly exceptional - something that would make a real difference. 

That’s why I focused on two areas where I saw a massive need for change: leadership development and sales training. 

Too many training programmes were cookie-cutter, uninspired, and, frankly, ineffective. I wanted to create something that delivered tangible results, that didn’t just tick the box, but transformed the people it touched.

Fast forward to today, and MTD Training has grown from that single room into a multi-million pound powerhouse in the training industry. 

We’ve worked with over 9,000 companies. We specialise in both commercial and apprenticeship training, always with one goal in mind: achieving real, measurable results for our clients.

We don’t just train; we transform. Our programmes are not about theory - they’re about application. 

They’re designed to be engaging, impactful, and above all, practical. Our obsession with client success has earned us five prestigious awards and a reputation as a leader in the field.

When I’m not working within MTD, you can often find me sharing my experiences and insights on leadership, sales, and entrepreneurship at conferences, on podcasts, and through various media channels. 

If you’re looking to transform your managers into leaders or drive your sales team to new heights, let’s talk.

Skillshub - 800 engaging courses for your LMS

Back in 2021, I had a vision to create something different in the world of digital learning. 

I wanted to build a company that didn’t just offer online courses, but truly transformed the learning experience. That’s how Skillshub came to life.

I’ve always been passionate about learning and development, but the e-learning options available at the time were, frankly, uninspiring. 

Most courses felt like a tick-box exercise - boring, disengaging, and failing to deliver real, actionable results. Learning management systems were no better: clunky, hard to use, and often a roadblock rather than a tool for growth.

I knew it didn’t have to be this way. So, I set out to change it.

I wanted to create a platform that wasn’t just another piece of software, but a place where people actually wanted to learn. A place where the content was engaging, practical, and most importantly, impactful. 

I gathered a team of passionate professionals, and together we launched Skillshub - a digital learning platform designed to revolutionise the way we learn online.

Today, Skillshub offers over 800 courses and more than 2,000 diverse learning resources. 

Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive online learning platform or just high-quality content for your existing LMS, we’ve got you covered. 

Our platform is built to be intuitive, easy to navigate, and loaded with engaging content that drives real change in the workplace.

But we didn’t stop there. 

We understood that every organisation has unique needs, so we offer customised solutions too. 

Whether it’s transforming your existing training material into captivating digital content or developing bespoke learning journeys for your people, we’re here to make sure your team is not just learning, but thriving.

With Skillshub, you’re not just getting courses or a platform; you’re getting a learning experience that inspires action and drives performance.

Feedo - 360 Degree Feedback Tool

When I set out to create Feedo, it wasn’t just about building another 360-degree feedback tool. 

It was about solving a problem that I had personally faced countless times in my career: the frustration of using clunky, overpriced systems that seemed to be designed by programmers, not for the people who would actually use them.

I wanted something better. Something intuitive, cost-effective, and flexible enough to meet the diverse needs of L&D and HR professionals. Feedo was born from that vision.

Imagine you’re running a 360-degree feedback campaign. You’re already juggling multiple roles, trying to ensure your employees are engaged and your organisation is thriving. The last thing you need is a feedback system that’s hard to navigate, lacks customisation, and leaves you wondering if the data you’re getting is even useful.

That’s why I built Feedo. 

It’s a tool designed with you in mind, whether you're an HR leader looking for a comprehensive solution or a manager needing quick, actionable insights. Feedo lets you measure exactly what matters to you, using your own questions or selecting from our extensive library of 600 ready-made questionnaires.

Unlike traditional systems, Feedo’s user-friendly interface makes it simple for both admins and participants. You can create custom ratings, generate clear, easy-to-understand reports, and even monitor results in real-time with our LIVE dashboard. Plus, whether you want to run the campaign yourself or have our team handle it for you, we’ve got you covered.

With Feedo, you’re not just getting software; you’re gaining a partner committed to making feedback easier, more meaningful, and ultimately more impactful.

Some of the ways Feedo can support you include:

360-Degree Feedback
180-Degree Feedback
Employee Satisfaction Surveys
Training Needs Analysis
Automated “Happy Sheets”
Culture Checks

Manager? Check. People Person? Check.

Ah...watch out for this trap then ⬇️ 

Let’s break the myth:
You don’t need to be everyone’s friend.
You need to lead well.
And those aren’t the same.

The “people person” manager often means well but ends up doing harm.

They...

Avoid difficult conversations
Overprotects underperformers
Tries to please everyone
Struggles to set boundaries

The result?
Short-term harmony. Long-term resentment.
A nice manager. A stressed-out team.

Here’s what great leaders do instead:

✅ Have honest conversations early
✅ Build trust, not dependency
✅ Hold standards without drama
✅ Support growth—not just comfort

And here’s the mindset shift they make:

Don’t focus on being liked, focus on being respected
↳ Because respect builds consistency, clarity, and performance

Your team doesn’t need a people-pleaser.
They need someone who’s clear, fair, and growth-focused.

Try using phrases that strike the right balance:

“I care about you and I care about your growth.”
“This might feel uncomfortable, but we need to talk about it.”
“I’ll support you and I’ll hold you accountable.”

It’s not about being cold.
It’s about being clear.

You can’t support someone’s growth if you’re afraid to challenge them.
You can’t build a strong culture by avoiding discomfort.

And if you’re always rescuing, overprotecting or smoothing things over,
you’re not protecting your people. You’re preventing their progress.

🧠 Remember; pleasing people might make you popular.
But leading them well is what makes the real difference.

What’s one way you’ve learned to balance care with clarity?
