The Sales Engine Story
At Sales Engine, we’d like to make our stance clear from the word go - sales people are (in the main) an upstanding, hardworking and honourable bunch
What they typically lack (outside of Max Clifford as PR advisor) are the right tools, coaching and support to guide them through the rough terrain of the commercial world. As a result, some of them make mistakes, some of them “wing it” and a select few make a decent fist of it and deliver real value to their employers and their clients.
Sales Engine is thankfully made up of the latter.
This heroic bunch of ex-colleagues formed Sales Engine early on in 2008 to address the failings of the sales profession to date by delivering bid support, tools and coaching to sales teams up and down the land (and overseas when the fancy takes us).
Working from offices in London, Bedfordshire and Warwickshire, the team toiled to inject new ideas, new tools and new energy into the sales function of businesses like Avanta, TNT Post and First Data.
Along the way, we’ve found ourselves in some unlikely situations:
- Working through the night, surviving on nothing but cold pizza, with senior bid teams pitching for contracts worth in excess of £5billion
- Being flown in to New York at a moment’s notice to provide support to a team before they stepped up to bid for the biggest deal in their company’s history…despite being on holiday at the time.
- Hand delivering 10 copies of a freshly bound pitch document to a grateful client at his home, only to be greeted by him in his pyjamas.
As a result, businesses up and down the land now think the gang from Sales Engine are the bees knees (and we’ve got the testimonials to prove it). Nice…
The exciting bit? We’ve only just begun but we know we’re making a difference.
