ABOUT STEPHANIE TILEY

A very positive and driven Mum of 4 children who continues to strive for that ideal Career/Life Balance. My sales career began many years ago when I baked fairy cakes at the age of 8 and sold them to neighbours and visitors to the family home! From this sales and marketing has been my passion and my entrepreneurial streak became apparent in 2004 when I launched on of the UK\'s very first on-line baby shower websites. Having my own business was a great opportunity to further develop my skills in many areas and learn how to develop sales across the web as well as looking for new revenue streams to maintain a number one natural ranking position. Some may say I am quite competitive, but this worked to my advantage when I represented Lancashire in 200m running races when at school and college. Grit and determination was also required when playing in a mixed hockey team whilst at Uni studying Business Studies & Marketing. So it\'s no surprise that all my 4 children are very competitive too! Looking for a new challenge, I moved into the Publishing Industry, which is very exciting and is a great opportunity to take all my skills acquired to a company who are as passionate as I am about working with clients to provide them with solutions to their problems. I began to realise what a passion I had for Customer Service and the importance of it. My organisational skills also became apparent, which allowed me to help build up the number of building surveyors whilst at Heyes Chartered Surveyors from just 1 to 5, where I was required to mange their diaries in order to undertake RICS home surveys. So to conclude and look at my working career so far, I would say that I am a highly experienced Business Development, Sales and Customer Service Manager with a proven track record of success in opening up new markets for innovative products and solutions to secure significant ‘early wins’, and in developing existing markets using creative and entrepreneurial talents, with exceptional commercial management and customer service skills, leading to a platform for growth. I am commercially astute and results orientated, with excellent relationship management skills and hands on product development expertise in a highly competitive sales environment. Extremely organised and motivated to be able to work on my own initiative with efficiency and enthusiasm. I would certainly say that I put passion into everything I do, whether it be in my working life or time spent with my family and friends.
