Sales Geek expands into the capital

A newly-launched franchise means that Blackburn-based training company Sales Geek now has a presence in London.

Lisa Ansell has founded Sales Geek London, offering 25 years of experience in business development and performance management, specialist coaching and training. She is also the author of Pull NOT Push – A revolution in selling for people who hate it.

Working from home offices in Essex and a variety of flexible locations in central London, Ansell will deliver Sales Geek training to businesses across the capital.

She said: “It’s brilliant to officially be a Sales Geek, having unofficially been one for my entire career.

“I have always said that I am the world’s most reluctant salesperson, because I genuinely hate the macho, one-up-man-ship cliches that seem to follow a traditional view of how sales should be done.

“That’s why I’m 100 per cent wholeheartedly onboard with Sales Geek’s mission to revolutionise the way the world views sales, and to prove the best results come from respecting your customers, aiming to solve their needs while taking heed of their mental health, and your own, in the process."

Sales Geek reported 80 per cent growth in 2020 after pivoting rapidly at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, moving all its services online during lockdown and then going on to win its first international client, launch its first franchises, and also launch the free version of its Sales Geek Hub app, which now has users across the globe.
