ABOUT SADIE DEVERAUX

I’m starting a revolution in sales leadership! We need to take wider leadership skills and utilise them to coach & mentor our sales force. I truly believe people are the key to success in an organisation. We need to see people, their strengths and growth areas coaching them to success. Goals & Targets – yes challenge but also achievable & allow for personal growth. A 2-way process between team & leader. Feedback – enable growth rather than solely figures-based. Coaching on product, customer management, full customer lifecycle. Team vs Individual – a successful long-term strategy builds a team approach rather than only rewarding the individual. Success Planning – build the next generation of leaders with coaching & mentoring aligned with leadership development programmes.So, I can lead teams but let’s talk sales – Can I? Do I?Yes- I’m known for consistently exceeding targets by looking at different routes to market, product development, data analysis and insights combined with a deep understanding of customer needs.I’m not a sell at all costs & run kind of person.
