First Line Sales
Without our first line sales department we won't have any customers, and by the very nature of the importance of this role our sales staff are target driven. It's a fast paced working environment which won't suit everyone but we make sure that our staff are rewarded for their success. We look to bring the best in new media advertising to small to medium sized business by offering a marketing package tailored to their own business sector and geographic area. Combine this with exposure on the internet through their own updatable website, 3 national business directories and a trade specific directory. Our sales team can offer guidance on which domain names would be the most suitable to use, as well as other marketing criteria such as selecting the right area or business category. We also ensure that all our staff have regular individual training and reviews to make sure they are well informed about their progress or help them get back on track again if they should lose focus.
Anthony Graham - Sales Manager (Lancaster)
Anthony himself was in the top three sales people at Customer Street and has proved to be a great role model for his team and our new starters. "The prospects at Customer Street are only limited by your own imagination. I have never worked in such a friendly and productive environment before. The great thing is that we have so many talented staff here we don't need to look elsewhere to fill our management roles as we continue to expand."
Robert Foulkes - Sales Manager (Blackpool)
Robert joined Customer Street in early 2004 as a sales executive and was promoted to the role of Sales Manager when the Blackpool office was opened in mid 2004. "the Blackpool office is vibrant and exciting, and the real buzz that the staff create has helped the office go from strength to strength."
Mark Gaitskell - Sales Manager (Barrow)
Like many of the other managers at Customer Street Mark started working in our first line sales team 4 years ago and his ability to effectively communicate with our customers has now been successfully redeployed in managing the Barrow Sales office. Marks motivating morning meetings are a great way for him to encourage and support his sales team helping then to realise their full potential.
Craig Alcock - Sales manager (Huddersfield)
Craig's lively personality and sense of humour has made him a successful and popular manager and gets a real buzz from helping new staff learn, grow and develop into top flight salespeople. "It takes real skill for sales people to not only sell but do it correctly so that we end up with happy customers who will be with us for a long time to come." Craig has now been tasked with developing our first Yorkshire based office in Huddersfield.
Nina Zand - Sales manager (Chorley)
Nina has secured her position as the branch manager of our successful Chorley office through her very focused approach to work. Her natural sales ability has seen Nina take the Customer Street top sales person award in 2006 and a very respectable second place in 2007. This year will be Nina's first full year as branch manager and she is looking forward to not only maintaining but also exceeding the successes of previous years.
Jamie Garside - Team Leaders
"Each day I come into the office I never know what is going to be around the corner. Every sales call you make can be a challenge and really test your skills to the limit, but the biggest buzz is from setting yourself a goal and achieving it and at the end of the day there's no bigger critic than yourself."
David Bertram - Team Member
"My favourite part of this job is getting to talk to business owners from around the country, especially those who, as yet, remain unconvinced about the power of the internet. With the package that we offer it doesn't take long to really show prospective customers the potential of what Customer Street can offer. There are some really interesting and funny people out there and I love knowing that I have made a difference."
