About Ian Brodie
I’ve been helping some of the world’s leading organisations with their marketing and sales challenges for over 17 years.
More importantly, I’ve “walked the talk” and sold multi-million dollar consulting engagements across multiple countries and cultures.
But in truth, I’m far from a natural salesperson – in fact it was something of a nasty surprise to me when I realised early on in my career that in order to progress and do the kind of work I was interested in, I would need to sell.
But through study, experience, and having some of the best “rainmakers” in the field as my mentors, I’ve learned what it takes for even the most reluctant of professionals to become highly effective at marketing and sales – and that’s what I teach my clients.
My particular focus these days is on working with small firms and solo professionals. Since leaving the corporate world many years ago I’ve been astounded at the depth of talent and passion for clients in the small and solo businesses I’ve met. Yet I’ve also seen how many of these businesses are struggling or failing to live up to their potential simply because they haven’t “cracked” marketing and selling.
I’ve made it my mission to help sole practitioners and small firms escape from being the “best kept secret” in their field and to get the clients, recognition and rewards they deserve.
If you like what you’ve heard so far, and you think I may be able to help you with some of the challenges you’re facing, then why not contact me for an informal discussion. There’s no commitment, and I won’t try to push you into a sale – we’ll just discuss your situation to see if working together might be a good fit.
Drop me a note via my Contact Form and we’ll sort something out.
On a personal note, I’m married to the wonderful Kathy, and we have two children – Chris & Robs.
I also suffer from being a supporter of Newcastle United – so not surprisingly my mood varies significantly depending on how horrifically they have been playing or which dodgy billionaire has decided to buy us this month.
