By Tim Aldred

13 Jun 2019

Burnley-based Sales Geek has appointed Erik Pollitt as learning and development geek.

He brings 20 years of experience to the role and was previously learning and performance partner at AO.com, group trainer at Friday Media Group and created the Principles of Sales course for UCLan.

Richard Few, chief sales geek, said: "First and foremost, Erik is a fantastic person who absolutely epitomises what it is to be a Sales Geek. His track record in sales is outstanding and his knowledge and experience is second to none and we are so looking forward to letting him loose in our Geeky universe."

Erik said: "I’m positive I can help the business build for the future and I can’t wait to meet our clients and develop new ones. But more than that, I’m convinced that my passion for helping people develop their full potential is really going to give a shot in the arm to sales and business leaders across the North West and beyond. It’s such an exciting time to be a Sales Geek!"

Richard added: "If you are booked onto any of our upcoming sales courses you are in for a treat. Erik’s mission is to help us revolutionise sales training across the UK and beyond. For someone of the calibre of Erik to become part of what we are doing at Sales Geek is testament to how far we have come as a business already and hints at what we are building towards in the near future. Watch this space!”
