General Manager

Obvious Consult Ltd

A good strategy is often obvious but knowing what to do and how to do it are two completely different things.
​
I help organisations move forward by confronting challenges, establishing clarity and focusing attention.

At Obvious Consult Ltd our aim is to look into your business and work with key people within it to define and shape its future. You know you're business well. Right? That's great but sometimes you need a specialist outside to come in and become one of you. To first listen and not assume, look past the obvious and challenge the way the business performs. I am not a business coaches, I am an expert who has walked a mile in your shoes and been hit with all the same problems you face day to day. I know that each and every business is unique and therefore so will its challenges. One answer does not work for all. The text book approach does not cut it today and a authentic and real approach is what is required. People drive business and business must drive its people. Empowering, trusting and directing staff is key to your business success and this is what I do best.

The work I have been doing includes, review of sales individuals and develop a training program to help develop the individual. Recruit a new sales team and then give clear,concise training and direction. Put together a sales strategy for entering into a new market place. Mentor a newly appointed Sales Director.

If you're looking for someone to step inside your business and work alongside you and your team to bring the best out of all area's of strategy, business development, marketing and sales then the first thing we need to do is sit and chat. Sometimes the day to day gets in the way of looking into the future.
