What my charity trek across Iceland taught me

In my last two blogs I've talked about stretching your comfort zones, having a great team around you and in this, my final blog it's all about some of the things I have learned throughout the whole experience of trekking across Iceland.

The trek itself was fabulous, a great experience, g…

How good is the team around you?

In my last blog, I talked about comfort zones and this week it's about the team around me, who supported me along the way.

How to increase productivity? Jump on a train

It may sound a bit odd, telling you to jump on a train to increase productivity, especially as I am a devout petrol head and worship at the temple of unleaded (actually four star if you are old enough to remember that).

I’ve been on a strictly confidential m…

That’s a space many people find themselves in, but actually one of the words in the title tends to really throw people – the word “sell”.

Lots of individuals involved in professional services, so…

Should salespeople come with a sell by date?

I was thinking of this the other day. How on earth do you understand if your salespeople are, fresh, in date and wholesome? You need to think about this and you need to review regularly where your salespeople are.

Pains, trains and automobiles

My second month at New Results was if anything more painful than the first. Since I was in my apprenticeship training, I couldn’t make a fair number of cups of tea, which resulted in Mike running in with his Nerf gun yet again. This time it hit me in the eye… I couldn’t see my screen for a …
