My family owned a kitchen design and installation business for 15 years. So, I know how these business owners think and act. I also know what it takes to increase revenues 8X through sales and marketing, because we did exactly that!
What I love about Inspire KBB is that we have the combined knowledge to help grow KBB retailers in so many ways. We have the speed, agility and flexibility to find a solution to almost any marketing challenge.
If I could wave a magic wand I would encourage KBB retailers to change their mindset in relation to marketing. Yes, it’s getting increasingly complicated, but there have never been so many opportunities to attract attention and stand out from the crowd. You need to be ambitious, proactive, and prepared to invest.
One of the key things for me is implementation – getting a lot of things done is critical to the success of any business.
I am a sponge. I’m consistently tuned into the world-class thought-leaders in my field. I’m also fortunate to have several outstanding mentors.
When I’m not working, family time and cycling are important to me. I’m a Man Utd fan and love watching live, world-class sport when the opportunity arises.
My hidden talent? I sing a Karaoke version of Duran Duran’s 'Rio' that has to be heard to be believed!
