Welcome to our new blog....

Hello and welcome to our new blog, we hope as time goes by you will take an interest in the information, ideas and help we will be posting here. 

At SalesFriend we are passionate about helping small businesses grow, develop and realise their true potential. We really enjoy what we do and we are proud of the strong relationships we have with our clients.

So what do we do?

Well, we provide help, advice, support, training and many other sales and marketing roles to businesses who do not have any of these skills in-house. 

In the UK there are 4.9 million businesses, of which almost 95% are classed as micro-businesses employing 0-9 people. However, this 95% accounts for only 32% of employment and 18% of turnover.

Micro-businesses are hugely important to the UK and often provide some of the best learning environments for young people wishing to learn new skills when starting their working life.

SalesFriend is a support mechanism for those 4,672,000 businesses  - we know and understand that most micro-businesses will not have their own in-house sales team and many face the regular battles with winning new clients. 

How many of these statements relate to you and your business?

• You are owner managed
• You do all of your own sales (no sales staff)
• You do have sales staff but they do not perform to the level you think they should
• You do not really understand digital and online marketing
• Growth has not been as high as you believe is possible
• You have not yet seen the benefits of social media like Facebook, Twitter and Google+
• You have no sales experience
• Your business cannot afford the costs associated with salespeople (salary, cars, phones, laptops and expense accounts)
• The methods you use to communicate with your customers is not perfect and could use some improvement

If you can say YES to any of the statements above then you are not alone. SalesFriend can help you to grow your business, help you to understand sales and marketing. Furthermore, we will work with you to ensure you can afford it. We have extensive experience in all areas of sales and marketing and whilst the requirements differ with every client we meet we are certain that we can help.

Here are just a few of the services we can provide:

We can take over the entire sales for your business, we can help you establish or grow a sales team. Perhaps you just simply don't know where to start with sales and marketing and would like to pick our brains for an hour over a coffee - whatever your needs we would like to help. We love meeting new people and their businesses. At SalesFriend we don't believe any meeting is ever a waste of time - there is always something to learn.

So that gives you a little information about us, we really hope you follow our blog or sign up for email alerts ensuring you never miss an update.

Thanks for reading.
